A brief programming note.

I have acquired the Criterion DVD edition of The Battle Of Algiers. A review is forthcoming, but as the 3-disc edition has 7 seperate documentaries on it apart from the movie, it won't be for a few days at least.

Blame the baseball playoffs, if you like. I'm going to.

    Why on Earth would the filmmakers DO that?
