This film is literally unable to see anywhere. It never was on TV or DVD. It´s so unavailable. Have you seen it? Almost the same is with his Lookin' to Get Out and The Slugger's Wife. They can´t be seen on TV or DVD. I´v seen them but only in english, without czech subtitles and I don ´t understand everything in hearing, I´m used to read subtitles when I watch english speaking film, you know? Anyway, Ashby´s 80s pics should be available on DVD, it´s a shame they aren´t. Are they available at your country?vaclavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407096456521970813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-2288065010908937172019-04-14T08:55:33.848-07:002019-04-14T08:55:33.848-07:00I'm not quite that old!

Yes, I saw To Live And Die in LA when it first came out, and I remember that I loved it, and I recall that all the characters were morally grey. It is "in the queue" to be rewatched and reviewed on this site (but the queue is long, so I don't know when I will get to it!).aceblackblog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404695143187261837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-44677747031061306272019-04-14T03:23:04.409-07:002019-04-14T03:23:04.409-07:00May I ask, you saw Coming Home in theater in 1978?...May I ask, you saw Coming Home in theater in 1978? And also you saw 8MWtD in theater too? So, you are around like 65? Well, I ´m 40 and I´ve seen all Ashby´s films on TV and on DVDs. When you mentioned 8MWtD, I saw it on HBO cca 10 years ago and it really was completely different than the films from 70s, like from other director...but, just recently I rewatched To Live and Die in LA and it´s very similar film to 8MWtD, it´s crimithriller, it has similar mood, but I thing Freidekin´s film is much better, I was excited by it, I love Friedkin´s films and I noticed that You haven´t rewieved To Live and Die in LA, so I don´t know how do You like this film, but I really enjoyed it much more I´ve seen it newly than before. It´s such a non black/white film, everyone in it is more or less bad, it looks very authentic and realistic and there are good actors - Petersen, Dafoe, Turturro, these three are great in it and it doesn´t have a cliche happyend, it´s much more complicated than ordinary crime films. What do you think of it? vaclavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407096456521970813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-79753246233428324922019-04-13T08:04:23.267-07:002019-04-13T08:04:23.267-07:00I am also a big fan of Harold and Maude and Being ...I am also a big fan of Harold and Maude and Being There. I really don't like Shampoo. I last saw Coming Home ages ago, around the time it first came out -- I need to revisit it. I'm not yet familiar with The Landlord. I recall also watching Ashby's 8 Million Ways To Die back in 1986; it was an entertaining mess of a film, and I'm looking forward to rewatching that one!aceblackblog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404695143187261837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-63309491644649110952019-04-13T03:18:11.531-07:002019-04-13T03:18:11.531-07:00Well, I really like most of Hal Ashby´s films, cer...Well, I really like most of Hal Ashby´s films, certainly his 70s flicks - The Landlord, Harold and Maude, The Last Detail, Shampoo, Coming Home and Being There - I consider them to be among the best of this era and I truly love them all, I love their free spirit, its celebration of life and they all really hit me deeply in my soul and they did it so naturally, so simply without trying so hard, it´s almost unbelievable that after Being There Ashby and his art fell so quickly and hard to the ground. vaclavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407096456521970813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-1568980381159284712019-04-12T17:27:42.920-07:002019-04-12T17:27:42.920-07:00Very well-stated, thank you!Very well-stated, thank you!aceblackblog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404695143187261837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-86088864820175979432019-04-12T03:06:32.238-07:002019-04-12T03:06:32.238-07:00I love this movie since I first saw it more than 1...I love this movie since I first saw it more than 15 years ago. I´v seen it many times and it still has a "like for the first time" quality. It touches the soul without being sentimental. True artistic achievment, I think. vaclavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407096456521970813noreply@blogger.com
