Thanks for the info, although they did it with Fear and Loathing...

I looked up Phantom Carriage and it looks very intriguing...even more so than Balthazar.

Has anyone here seen it yet?

I didn't say I didn't like it...just wasn't as "bowled over" by it as I had originally expected to be.

I've thought that about a number of films on first viewings.

With White Material, I have the luxury of streaming it again when I'm ready for a second viewing.

Thank you...couldn't have phrased that any better. :)

Sliced bread is highly overrated.... a nice ciabatta torn by hand is alright in my book.

Should I get the Criterion Sliced Bread or the StudioCanal Sliced Bread? :rolleyes:

Criterion Sliced bread is multi-grain, high in fiber and contains no High Fructose Corn Syrup and may not always taste great, but not only will you feel better about yourself, you'll learn to appreciate its performance and soon prefer its taste above all else

StudioCanal Sliced Bread is made with enriched white flour, high fructose corn syrup and chemical fillers. It may taste great, but your body (and mind) will hold a grudge against your choice.

;)

But without your StudioCanal Slice Bread, there would be no Criterion Slice Bread.

Also the Criterion Slice Bread seems to fall down in between places, like in Tiny Furniture.

Haha, very true. While I'm not too familiar with "Tiny Furniture", the consensus on this board seems to be in the negative.

The Criterion's Three Reasons made me even more psyched about The Great Dictator. I can't wait for that one.

I think many are just disappointed the brilliant Certified Copy may not get a release.

Oh boy...:)

You and me both!!:baby:

I avoid it like the plague :)

In the case of Le Cercle Rouge, and if you have a region-free player, go with the Studio Canal. The only thing that i miss on this edition is the Ginette Vincendeau commentary (the bd comes only with a filmed introduction), which is the reason that i kept my Optimum DVD (the dvd also comes with the Rui Nogueira interview that comes in the Criterion Blu-Ray).

Yeah you can appreciate a movie, doesn't mean you have to spend money to own it. If it isn't something you really like, and can see yourself rewatching, I don't see the point in buying it.

The Criterion Sliced Bread comes in really cool bags.

Just won the Man who Fell to Earth Blu Ray on eBay $25!! It's the disc only so it looks like I'll have to pick up the replacement case, but $30 total aint bad. About the replacement cases, Criterion had them on their shop under the "other" section but now that section is empty, any thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

They said they will be up in 2 weeks a few days ago because they had to re-do the case stock since there was alot of complaining that the barcode sticker was hard to get off. Imagine that.

FYI: the booklet does not come with the replacement case. Usually you can get one from them. That is usually another $5.

Anybody have the Sweet Smell of Success? I might be getting it.
