Watched what appears to be the last Flipside (boo!) today, ie Nightbirds - my first Andy Milligan movie. Not bad! Bit of a grim and downbeat boy meets girl story, the guy reminded me of John Moulder-Brown in Deep End, the girl is memorably nuts. Tried the commentary - duff I'm afraid, like an amnesiac patient with his can't be arsed male nurse - disappointing from Stephen Thrower, but his booklet stuff is excellent.
Yesterday I checked the picture quality on my Criterion Seven Samurai blu ray which has been marinading on my shelf this past year - ended up watching the whole damn thing. What a movie it is, but I guess everyone's well aware of that...
