The Pornographers - Criterion Collection (DVD)
In director Shohei Imamura's THE PORNOGRAPHERS, Yoshimoto Ogata (Shoichi Ozawa), a man who believes it is his patriotic duty to provide smut to his fellow men, uses the profits from his 8mm films to support his lover and her two children. Although there are never any explicit sex scenes, the film contains plenty of shocking material--intimations of incest, the exploitation of a mentally retarded girl, and the creation of the perfect sex doll are just some of the disturbing plot points. Based on a scandalous novel JINRUIGAKU NYUMON (Introduction to Anthropology) by Akiyuki Nozaka, the film is even lensed in a voyeuristic style, with shots through windows and cracks in open doors. Predating BOOGIE NIGHTS by several decades, THE PORNOGRAPHERS boldly investigates the relationship between sexual desire and one bizarre family, which includes a father believed to be reincarnated as a carp. The film is the first Imamura made after establishing his independent production company, Imamura Productions, in 1966.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - Japanese

A team of scientists and military personnel is dispatched to the distant Pegasus galaxy to explore the remnants of the Lost City of the Ancients--also known as Atlantis--in this first season of the STARGATE SG-1 spin-off series. The Ancients were an advanced human race that initially created the Stargate network, and diplomat Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) and pilot Major John Sheppherd (Joe Flanigan) head the international squad that is sent to investigate. The team arrives at Atlantis to find the city abandoned and their ship permanently stranded, unless they can find a power source to get themselves home to earth. They make contact with a brave but primitive native civilization as well as with the evil Wraith, a species that feeds on fear and, it quickly becomes clear, poses a threat to human life everywhere. Sheppard`s brash, instinctive nature contrasts with the calm thoughtfulness of Dr. Weir, and their team is rounded out by Sheppard`s second-in-command Lt. Aidan Ford, witty Scottish doctor Carson Beckett, Pegasus native leader Teyla Emmagen, and inimitable scientist Rodney McKay. The 20 episodes of the first season have the Stargate team feeling their way around this dangerous new galaxy and interacting with its varied inhabitants, while being forced to work as a team and learn more about each other as well.
