The Third Man (Criterion Blu-ray)
This title in particular has been the subject of a good deal of controversy on Elsewhere (among other sites), message boards, and email lists across the web. No one seems to talk about much aside from the "Grain Issue." Since the grain (or overabundance thereof) is the obvious elephant in the room, I'm going to address it before getting on to the additional content on display here, of which there is much to see and thoroughly enjoy.

"Studio publicists say they cater to [Oscar] bloggers because their top executives react hysterically to every little slight they see on the web," writes "Big Picture" columnist Patrick Goldstein in his current L.A. Times posting. I can testify about the reverse end of this. I've just been disinvited to two events I've RSVP'd to -- in one instance because I've run negative postings about a certain big-studio feature, and in another instance because I used some initiative to get myself into an Academy-members screening of an upcoming film. I think it can be said without any particular prejudice that some people really love sloshing around in their emotional bathwater, even when it doesn't serve their strategic interests.
