Great little essay on NY, NY.
When Good Directors Go Bad: New York, New York
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

What great ones do the less will prattle of

Posted: 11/21/07 at 2:44pmI agree BigFat--the improvised dialogue is excruciating, and the musical numbers are gasp-inducingly great.

Posted: 11/21/07 at 5:53pmWhy do they keep releasing "The 30th Anniversary Edition of a Movie That Totally Sucked?"

They just released this film a couple of years ago as part of a "Great Directors Series" which spotlighted Scorcese along with Raging Bull and Taxi Driver and now they're re-releasing it yeat again under a 30th Anniversary guise with new cover artwork. It's probably the same discs in new packaging. I can't imagine them unearthing anything new or relevant since the last release. I hate when studios unneccesarily double dip.

Posted: 11/25/07 at 6:22amWell, I may be wrong. I just looked into it and it seems that this new edition is a 2-discer as opposed to the Special Edition released in 2005 which was only a 1 disc deal. I couldn't find anything specific about the contents though.

Posted: 11/25/07 at 12:40pmIt blows my mind that people go on and on about how "great" movies like MAKING LOVE or GREASE 2 are but tear into something like this. Is it the Liza?

Posted: 11/25/07 at 6:39pmI for one don't think NEW YORK, NEW YORK is a bad film at all. I like it quite a lot as a matter of fact. I'm just surprised their re-releasing it yet again after a Special Edition which was issued just two years ago.
