Synopsis: 'I'm walkin' here!' Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight star in the undisputed classic drama Midnight Cowboy, making its worldwide debut on 4K UHD with Dolby Vision. The winner of Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Midnight Cowboy has achieved a legacy like few other films. A dissection of the nostalgia of the New York nightmare, this raw, uncompromising picture takes you inside the minds of two desperate men chasing dreams in a city that offers none.
When Joe Buck, a good-looking, naïvely charming Texas 'cowboy' makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo, a sleazy, small-time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond, one that transcends their broken dreams. Based on the book by James Leo Herlihy, and directed by John Schlesinger (who won the Oscar for Best Director for his work on this film), Midnight Cowboy continues to stand the test of time almost sixty years since its release, now fully restored and ripe for rediscovery in 4K.
This Limited Edition 3-Disc Hardbox also includes the 2022 feature documentary Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy.
1500 copies only.

Eagles skipper Oscar Allen finds his happy place
West Coast co-captain Oscar Allen has found his mojo - it was hiding in the forward 50m arc all along. Allen produced his best game of the season by kicking 4.0 in Sunday's 43-point loss to Geelong at Optus Stadium. The 26-year-old kicked two goals in the second quarter and handed off another to help his team fight back from 29 points down. West Coast closed to within six points early in the last quarter before Geelong piled on seven of the final eight goals of the match to run away with the 17.14 (116) to 11.7 (73) win. Allen kicked 53 goals in 2023 to announce himself as one of the best key forwards in the competition. But he was so out of form earlier this year that he was moved into West Coast's defence for games against Hawthorn and Melbourne. Allen contributed strongly in those matches, and he expressed his desire to play wherever the team needed him most. But the glint in his eyes was evident when he returned to attack in round 10 against St Kilda. Allen kicked two goals in the upset win over St Kilda and followed it up with two goals against Adelaide. Allen snaps a fourth and the Eagles are sticking with the Cats 👀#AFLEaglesCats — AFL (@AFL) June 1, 2025 Jake Waterman's season-ending shoulder injury meant it was up to Allen to lead the team's attack against Geelong, and he stood up in grand style. "Look, we know how good a forward he is, but like I say always - the team will always come first for all of our players," West Coast coach Andrew McQualter said. "So Oscar having that flexibility is a bonus. We shouldn't look it as a as a negative thing. "It's a good thing for our team that he can play both ends of the ground, but he might have earned himself another week in the forward line." With All-Australian Waterman out of action for the rest of the year, you can bet your bottom dollar Allen will stay in attack to help the likes of Archer Reid and Jack Williams continue their development. "Archer and Jack are young. They're competing really hard, and they're getting some looks, but I think Oscar's experience there makes a big difference," McQualter said. Harley Reid tallied 19 disposals, seven clearances and a goal against Geelong despite being heavily tagged by Oisin Mullin. "I think he really had an impact on the game," McQualter said. "(Under a) heavy tag, from the outset, he worked his way into the game and had some really pivotal moments. "He's not going to have massive amount of touches when you get heavy tag like that, but he had some great moments that helped our team, for sure." West Coast (1-11) will be back in action on Sunday when they take on North Melbourne (2-1-8) in a bottom-of-the-table clash in Bunbury.

Yes, You Can Now Buy Sydney Sweeney's Used Bathwater… In a Bar of Soap — GeekTyrant
Sydney Sweeney's post-Madame Web era has taken some wild turns, but this latest move is straight-up soap opera territory. Dr. Squatch, the men's soap brand best known for its rustic marketing and earthy scents, just announced a limited-edition bar of soap infused with actual bathwater from the actress herself. No, this isn't satire. Yes, it's real, and I don't even know what to say. It's so weird! Sweeney, who's been winning hearts and headlines with films like Anyone But You and Immaculate , has become an internet fixation. So when she starred in a viral Dr. Squatch commercial last year, lounging in a tub and calling viewers 'dirty little boys', the memes practically wrote themselves. Now, she's leaning all the way in. Sweeney told GQ: 'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment, because fans always joke about wanting my bath water. I was like, 'This is just such a cool way to have a conversation with the audience and give them what they want.' But then also hopefully encourage them to take care of themselves in a healthy way.' Dr. Squatch collected the actual water from her bath during the shoot. And yes, that water was used… sparingly, to craft this very limited soap. she explained. 'When we were at the [Dr. Squatch] shoot, they had a tub for me. And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath and they took the water. 'So it's my real bath water. I wanted to have it lean towards my home roots, so there's this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir. So it smells super manly. But then there's some city bath water mixed in.' Pine, moss, fir, and… Sweeney. It's not a scent profile you'd expect on a shelf next to sandalwood and cedar, but here we are. Most of these sudsy souvenirs will be given away through promotional contests, but a select few bars will be available for purchase. So if you've ever dreamed of getting that close to Sydney Sweeney, this might be the most hygienic way to do it. Whether this is peak internet or just brilliant branding, one thing's for sure, Dr. Squatch and Sweeney now has the geek world's full attention. That's cleaner than anything Madame Web ever pulled off.

Historic Sale Of Princess Diana's Fashion Is Generating ‘Huge Interest' Ahead Of Auction: ‘People Can't Get Enough Of Her'
Princess Diana attends the Victor Chang Research Institute Dinner Dance during her visit to Sydney, ... More Australia.(Photo by Julian Parker/UK Press via Getty Images) Princess Diana had nothing short of an iconic wardrobe—and a historic sale of pieces from the late Princess of Wales' expansive collection is set to take place later this month. 'Princess Diana's Style: A Royal Collection' will see over 200 items from Diana's wardrobe go up for grabs, including some pieces that have never been available to the public before. The sale, put on by Julien's Auctions, is the largest collection of Diana's fashion to ever go up for sale, and the landmark event will take place on Thursday, June 26 at 10 a.m. PST at the Peninsula Beverly Hills. (Though the auction will take place later this month, registration and bidding opened online late last month and is currently available to take part in.) 'We see the interest in Princess Diana—she is the mother of the future King of England, Prince William,' Martin Nolan, co-founder and executive director of Julien's Auctions, tells me on Zoom. 'She was a style icon, a humanitarian.' 'We just see huge interest,' he adds. Princess Diana in Chicago wearing a Versace dress and Jimmy Choo heels. (Photo by Tim Graham Photo ... More Library via Getty Images) Julien's is no stranger to Princess Diana's clothing coming up for auction, but 'over the years we've been selling Princess Diana items one dress, two dresses at a time,' he says. Last December, one of Diana's dresses broke a world record, selling for $1.14 million—'and so we thought gosh, there really is a demand for Princess Diana,' Nolan says. 'People can't get enough of her.' In addition to one of Diana's dresses selling for over $1.14 million, a pair of her shoes brought in $390,000 at auction. While Julien's is expecting similar success with this auction, not all items up for sale will break the bank, Nolan assures me—even convincingly persuading me to put in a bid for one of Diana's Lady Dior handbags. (It's very tempting.) Nolan says he hopes that people aren't afraid to participate in the auction because they think 'prices are out of control,' he says. 'They're not, actually. There's a lot of items [that are] One of Princess Diana's Lady Dior handbags is going up for sale. In addition to some of the 70 gowns Diana—at the suggestion of William—sold in June 1997 at her famous Christie's sale now coming up for auction again, there will be shoes, bags and hats available—including her honeymoon hat by John Boyd, Nolan tells me. 'That's a really special piece,' he says. In total, Julien's is estimating proceeds from the auction—a portion of which is being donated to Muscular Dystrophy U.K.—will go up to $2 million, 'but you never know,' Nolan says. Diana was smart about fashion—she was very intentional about what she wore 'depending on what event she was attending, what message she wanted to send,' Nolan says. She was a student of fashion under Anna Harvey, a former editor at British Vogue, and Catherine Walker, one of Diana's favorite designers throughout her life in the public eye. 'She learned from them and she learned how to dress,' Nolan says. 'Her fashion always made a statement. She's a style icon, and her outfits were timeless. People are still fascinated with her, and they will show up to see items that she wore.' 'She's a rock star in her own right,' he adds. One of Princess Diana's Versace dresses that is included in the auction this month. Speaking of being a rock star, ahead of the June 26 auction in Beverly Hills, items from the collection have been on tour around the world as a preview of the sale, from stops at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle to New York City to London to Newbridge, Ireland at The Museum of Style Icons. Items in the auction extend beyond clothing, too—from personal notes to Christmas cards. 'This auction is for everybody,' Nolan says. 'We have items at every price point.' One item you won't find in this auction, or any other? Diana's winter coats. Though she lived in a chilly climate and certainly had her fair share of outerwear, she gave it all away. 'We never see any coats come to auction from Diana,' Nolan tells me. 'She always gave her coats away to the homeless. That's how amazing she was.' Diana was 'incredibly generous, always giving—she had an abundance of stuff, and she didn't take that for granted,' he continues, adding that in addition to the homeless, she'd also give her belongings away to friends and folks who worked with her. Some of those items have ended up in this auction, he says. 'Some of them wore the items and now they realize, 'Wow, these are really expensive items that people would want,'' Nolan says of one way the auction's over 200 pieces were sourced.

Diana wore the Bellville Sassoon dress, with its bold colors and floral print, at least nine times—mostly to royal engagements that needed an uplift in locations from Australia to India to the U.K., Spain and Nigeria. 'That's the nice thing about Diana—she was the first royal family member that we would see repeat outfits, and she was already conscious of sustainability and affordability and not appearing always glitz and glamour and princess-y,' Nolan says. 'She was approachable and huggable and the colors [of the Caring Dress]—kids loved all those colors. And so that made her the People's Princess, if you will.'

More Fincher/Princess) Other recognizable items of clothing up for sale include a yellow flower Bruce Oldfield dress, worn to Royal Ascot in June 1987, or a Catherine Walker creation made for Diana ahead of a royal visit to the United Arab Emirates, featuring falcons because the falcon is a symbol for the country. Of this particular dress, Nolan says, 'it's a beautiful, beautiful dress—one of my favorites.' That dress was part of the 1997 Christie's auction, 'and this is the first time it's come back to auction 28 years later,' he adds. 'What's interesting is each piece tells a story, and that's what we're selling, really, is the story and the memory,' Nolan says. Princess Diana's falcon dress by one of her favorite designers, Catherine Walker. If Diana's collection isn't enough, the Julien's sale will also include other pieces from members of the British royal family, including couture garments from the former King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson—known as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor after their controversial marriage—as well as pieces from Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother. 'The royal family, I think, were always fashion icons, if you will,' Nolan says. 'People were always curious to see what Queen Elizabeth was wearing and how she was color coordinated. And then Princess Margaret, who was the fun member of the royal family—she was always dressed beautifully. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor—both of them in their own right were true fashion icons.' Nolan anticipates interest from all over the world—North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, for starters—to turn out for the auction: 'She's a global icon,' Nolan says. In addition to private bidders, museums will place bids, as well as investors, because people see Diana memorabilia as an asset. 'They say, 'Okay, I buy this today. In five years' time, I'll sell it for more than what it sells for today,'' Nolan tells me. 'It's going to be harder and harder to get items from Princess Diana.' He points to the fact that items sold in 2010 and 2014, for example, have 'soared' in valuation since then. 'People have a love affair with Princess Diana,' Nolan says. 'I don't see that ever fading.' Princess Diana waves to an enthusiastic crowd in Chicago. (Photo by Tim Graham Photo Library via ... More Getty Images) Eloise Moran, the author of The Lady Di Look Book: What Diana Was Trying to Tell Us Through Her Clothes and the new Substack Revenge Looks, calls Diana 'the original influencer.' Moran tells me that it's difficult to put Diana's fashion into a box 'because I think she went through so many different eras. And I think what's so interesting about her sense of style is it's really sort of synonymous with her growth as a woman and kind of this idea of discovering herself and discovering who she is and refining her sense of style and experimenting.' 'I think you can even see in some of the pieces in the auction, you've got some of the '80s slightly more prim looks,' she continues. 'You've got the very feminine Bellville Sassoon floral dress, which is quite iconic. And then you've got these lovely court shoes and pumps and these big brim hats. And then you do have a few pieces later which kind of delve into a more slightly freer, definitely sensual and then cooler '90s looks.' She adds of Diana's style, 'I truly think there's something for everyone, and that's why she just stays so relevant. It's like this never-ending treasure chest of looks.' 'She was just so iconic,' Moran tells me, yet she 'was so relatable for someone of her status and her situation. And I think people really recognized that during the time and wanted to emulate that.' Even 28 years after her death, people still 'appreciate her so much as a woman and as a person and what she stood for and what she went through,' Moran says. 'And I think that relatability still stands, but she's reinterpreted for the modern day.' Beyond the items in the collection, Nolan hopes this sale will also celebrate the woman who wore them. 'That's why we're having this huge auction,' Nolan says. 'We're celebrating her amazing life and career, but also telling the story—preserving her legacy—because we need more people like Princess Diana in years to come.'
