I found it on demand for free from my cable provider, thru Turner Classic Movies. They change the selection all the time so I sorta check it daily..
I'll check out The Third Man, haven't seen it. My favorite Welles movie so far is The Trial.

Figured as much and noted. I've seen a handful of Polanski flicks Chinatown included, I like his style and the subject matter he seems to like to cover...
Repulsion, The Pianist.. I really like the Tennant and actually I really like The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp..

I highly recommend The Ghost Writer by RP. That movie is so effing good and rewatchable for me.

I have Verizon Fios and think they may have that too, though they may change it more weekly or monthly. Gonna have to check tbat out.
Most of the people I know said that it lacked soul. Trailers were cool enough but I have spent too much on films that were really uninspiring. No more superhero movies, anime adaptations and reboots in theatres.
Not sure why anime fans are such bitches when it comes to this movie. If you actually like anime you should be happy for the creators of the series to get more exposure and money. It will only help anime get more exposure and be taken more seriously among Western viewers.
I don't think I count as an Anime fan. I hate %98 of the animes that are out there.
I can't comment on the movie because I haven't seen it yet but this one seems like more of a money grab sinc Ghost in the Shell already had a big fanbase.. Again, from what I heard the philosophical depth of Gits has been completely erased to create a generic Hollywood script. I don't why I should pay for a dumbed down version.
It's just a simple decision to stay away from superficial stuff that are beginning to dominate film industry. No more superhero movies, anime adaptations or remakes.
Oldboy and Ichi the killer were well-done though so maybe some anime adaptations.

The same reason McCarthy fans (and McCarthy himself) would've been livid if Michael Bay had been helmed to film No Country for Old Men. Great art should be respected and translated by those who can accurately pay homage to it.
That's a terrible analogy. By all accounts teh Ghost in The Shell live action remake is really true to the original, even though people arent loving it. I saw a die hard fan of the anime, someone who has read all the magnas and seen the sequels, gave the movie an A-.

You said anime fans bitched about the movie so I assumed it was based off of it not being very good...which is what it looked like to me.
