It's sunny and I am not at Glastonbury.

Mee too. "Betty Blue" it's personal.

Blue Velvet, only slightly better than The Blues Brothers because of Dennis Hopper. I admit I don't know the other two. What about Blue Streak or Blue Chips or Blue Steel?

'Blue Velvet' the movie or the song?

What about 'BLUE'?

'Betty Blue' -- teenage kicks.

i'd sort of like to see betty blue again - i remember liking it and thinking it was kind of stupid at the same time.

Exactly! IT just came out on DVD sans extras in the UK, and it looks fantastic. My theory is that the low-res nature of VHS has made the cinema du look look less than it really is. On DVD it's looking great.

i remember the soundtrack being fantastic. i also remember it seemed like a really bright, colorful film.

isn't there a director's cut that's like 4 hours long? is that any good?

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 25 June 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

3 hours -- that's what the DVD release is. The soundtrack was an '80s classic, with this piano thing that's going round my head today. In many ways it's a 'state of the nation' film.

Now, anyone got the thread title ref yet??

The Blues bros coulda been a contender if it werent for the sequel.

one year passes...

Just saw Betty Blue last night and have some questions:

1) Were Betty and Bob having an affair? I drifted off for a second towards the end and felt I might have missed something...

I'm still digesting this one, I doubt I'll ever see it again but it was definitely better than I thought it would be.

(FWIW: A Woman Under The Influence is one of my favorites and I watch that at least once every couple years).
