No worries, I know what you meant. BTW, did you look into that Insignia player?

Stray Dog or Drunken Angel, probably.

That's just oh, so, sexy.:rolleyes::p

Change of subject, I finally got my copies of Pierrot Le Fou, Night of the Hunter, and Gimme Shelter. I'm looking forward to PLF as it's a blind buy and OOP.

No, they'll not watch it because it doesn't have a slipcover.

I will add that one of the great things about Salo is the amount of discussion that can be brought forth. It is a very interesting film to talk about, as it does have a lot more to say than the typical viewer would discern.

Most definitely! Videodrome is so awesome. Hopefully Naked Lunch isn't too far off for a Blu release....

Not yet but I'll definitely be in there next week when Blues Brothers is released.

:rofl:

Does this Criterion forum group ever organize an event in which anyone interested watches the same film over the same evening, so that there's a stimulated conversation about that particular film the next day?

I only ask because, aside from my one friend who's willing to watch pretty much anything, most people I know aren't willing to try classics or foreign films (bunch of savages!). Thought it might be cool to have an intellectual conversation with other like-minded individuals about a specific film...

:rotfl:

Also, it's a Criterion. It can't be removed from the cardboard shipping box as it's a huge collector's item.

Criterion, bring The Beatles to blu!
 

Let's hope that Criterion will release the Beatles films on blu.
After all, they have been releasing quite a few United Artists film as of late.

All these films were released by Unted Artists originally:

A Hard Days Night
Help!
Yellow Submarine
Let It Be
The Compleat Beatles (great ducumentary)

not sure who owns Magical Mystery Tour (just add it as an extra since it's a TV special)

or The Beatles First US Visit

I'm sure dealing w/ Apple Corps.(the one's who control the music rights) would be the biggest stumbling block.

Wrong forum... :D

Interesting idea (I perfectly understand your situation, it's the same with me), I like it. :popcorn:

I smell a sequel. Let me get my camera!

:doh: You see, just what was hinting at... :p ;)

any speculation as to when the Preston Sturges fils will come out on blu? thinking of picking up The Lady Eve dvd.

Thanks!

Anyone looking forward to Criterion's 3 Reasons for Salo?

Perhaps it should only be 2 reasons...

But if there is one Criterion who should have a sort of slipcover it should be Salo ;)

Sorry, it seems I just get some words mixed :p. See, in spanish we use the word "familiar" to name a random/specific member of our family. Just "googled" the word in english... :rofl:.
