I haven't been able to see the new DVD, but I hope it's a much cleaned up version of the relatively crappy old one. The audio/subtitles were kind of a problem as well...The dialogue is in Spanish, but with Russian dubbing on top of it (so the both mix in together). There are English subtitles, but when there is English dialogue (with the Americans), the subtitles stop - but the Russian overdub is still there, so you can't really figure out what is said...<BR/><BR/>With all that, it's still a glorious thing to see.<BR/><BR/>Chet, I would be happy if Soderbergh kept cranking out the Ocean's movies, but yeah, he needs to do other stuff as well...Take the experimentation and incorporate it into other films. So, you know, Che in oversaturated colours doubling down...B-)<BR/><BR/>Piper, I haven't seen "The Ruling Class" in a few years myself, but O'Toole certainly leaves an impression...I've just recently had the inkling to see it again though.Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-45408575950643083072007-12-04T15:31:00.000-05:002007-12-04T15:31:00.000-05:00Bob, I own The Ruling Class and have yet to see it...Bob, I own The Ruling Class and have yet to see it.

Don't get me wrong, those elements are great fun and (if you are willing to let reality take a short holiday) have consistent stories whose convoluted threads manage to sort themselves out in the end. But the films are really playgrounds for director Steven Soderbergh...." So, so true. Soderbergh seems to tiptoe along that art/entertainment line better than anyone else. I liked Ocean's 13 a lot, but it's time to put those films to bed. Bring on the Che pictures!Chet Mellemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547986971813920497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-87776760784977878842007-12-02T19:34:00.000-05:002007-12-02T19:34:00.000-05:00I'm totally curious about I Am Cuba so thanks for ...I'm totally curious about I Am Cuba so thanks for the review. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check it out soon.<BR/><BR/>And yay for The Ruling Class! I love that film but I haven't seen it in many years.
