The Criterion Collection

[Banned User]

Any recommendations out of these titles:
Kes
The Music Room
Insignificance
Double Life Of Veronique
Zazie Dans Le Metro
Makioka Sisters
Sweetie
Fish Tank
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence


Also what do you think are the odds of these getting Bluray releases? Thinking of picking them up at the B&N sale.

Pandora's Box
Red Beard
The Complete Mr. Arkadin
Pickup on South Street


Also I wonder if we will see a Criterion release of Deep End. There are a lot of BFI releases I'd like to see released over here.

Has Ryan Gallagher put any spoiler posts up yet on Twitter? I can't access it at work. TIA.

Nothing yet. Of course, he lives in Oregon so it is pretty early there still.

Woh woh woh woh....hold the f'ing phone.. I thought I was the only one here who felt that way about Wes Anderson.

• Pandora's Box - Most Defnitely. I would hold off.
• Red Beard - Eventually, but I don't think this or next year.
• The Complete Mr. Arkadin - Eventually, but I don't think this or next year.
• Pickup on South Street - I think this will be the last of your bunch to be upgraded, if ever.

This thread is quite long so I might have missed it if somebody already metioned that Barnes & Noble is having a 50% off Criterion sale this week. I got 60% because I have their member discount card. I bought "Blow Out", Kiss Me Deadly", and "Charade". All for $18.00 I'm going back today for more

I've waited for T.P. Wiseau getting a spine in the collection for long enough.

[ShellOilJunior]

Anyone else checking Criterion's site for leaks?

[BohemianGraham]

I have been, nothing yet. Boo.

Absolutely fantastic.

The Studio Canal release of Mulholland Dr. is a solid BD, but you need a region free player. The bonus features were a bit lacking IMO.

My Lynch Criterion fantasy is to see Blue Velvet get a spine number.

MOC changed their announcement to next Monday.

Out of the Blue will come and when it does I will reign, just prob not in the Oct announcements.

[P@t_Mtl]

I never image there would be so many Criterion fans as to make the servers crash.

Or is it just the collectors causing the problem?

[Beta Man]

I wonder if a film with a very wide appeal will be announced today..... It'd be interesting watching all the people complain that it's not included in the sale.

[SpiderBaby]

I hope an Eclipse set is announced today and it includes one of the following:

Dziga Vertov Group films
Toshio Matsumoto shorts
Cinema Novo films (Brazilian New Wave)

[ShellOilJunior]

Rivette.

Tuesday

Due to logistical reasons out of my control (we're all ready to announce), the announcement is going to be made Tuesday 19th July. *Not* this Friday as previously announced. Sorry for the bullshit.

It *is* going to be one of our best announcements though! Fear not!

Your one of the few people on this forum always willing to be helpful. I think out of all my questions since being here you've answered about 85% of them. Seriously.

I've been leaning towards that one for awhile now.

Scotch tape + F5 key = auto refresh

Criterion has a new article mentioning Symbiopsychotaxiplasm on the big screen. I've seen it hinted at elsewhere as a title. Can't say I'm excited if that's the case.
