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.

I don't like the trailer

I don't like the trailer for The DaVinci Code at all. Does anyone? Ron Howard's thriller (due 5.16.06 from Columbia) might be a clas- sic, but the trailer makes it seem like shameless formulaic dreck. That shot of an alarmed Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou running together and holding hands...is there a more detestable action- thriller cliche in the book? I still say Hanks looks too old and too big for Tatou -- she's this little French Tinkerbell and he's this tall, hulking guy with crow's feet. And that naked bald guy lying dead on the floor of the Louvre, a victim of a sacrifical killing... c'mon! They're obviously aiming at devout Christians who are still invested in the legend of Yeshua's divine avoidance of female companionship, blah, blah. I don't live on that planet. I don't live in that solar system...proudly.
