that set, with Cassavetes' major films, looks mightily impressive. too bad the films will only be available as a unit and not sold invidually. i'd love to get some of those films. ooh, my birthday is in the fall :P
* one of the bonus features on disc 3: How to Win the Battle But Lose the War of Ideas: a conversation about the contemporary relevance of The Battle of Algiers between former National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism and author of Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror, Richard A. Clarke, former State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Michael A. Sheehan, and Chief of Investigative Projects for ABC News, Christopher E. Isham :)
