Thursday April 1, 2004.

I didn't wake up with a three-pointed hat so I guess I've escaped being King of the Fools for another year. But tonight I've got three reviews of my own and one from UK-based correspondent Lee Broughton:

Savant's new reviews are

Charade Criterion
Shame MGM
Hour of the Wolf MGM and
Full Metal Yakuza and A.LI.CE R2 Pal separate disc reviews by Lee Broughton

No super news this week. I'm keeping up and hoping for a break in the editing schedule (21 days straight and counting) to do a few things like pay taxes (there's a war on, you know) and replace a water heater. I did get the brakes on the van fixed, so people around the world can stop worrying for me.

I have to say I love editing. I'm not getting rich but the projects are just what I need - after 30 years doing this work, I'm not sure I could make myself cut a show I didn't care about. The GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY special edition double disc comes out in about a month. I'm very excited about that particular project as I had a lot of input in the extras beyond just cutting.

Thanks for all the support. BTW if you write, please be sure to make your subject lines NOT look like the spam I'm getting - 3-word "personal" messages that all turn out to be about drugs for sale or other such scams. Thanks! Glenn Erickson
