Even though I love the films of Paul Morrissey and the people of the Factory, I don't swing that way.

But like the Borat thing!

Since there is no Audrey Hepburn on blu at all right now this would be a smart release for Criterion.

Do you guys think these are official?
For one, I never understood the scissor with the faces concept for Antichrist.
I know scissors play a role in the movie, but...

I have difficulty saying any film (that I've seen) is the best movie ever made. However, I can confidently say that Seven Samurai is one of the best movies ever made - a list that potentially includes a few thousand films (with the other several hundred thousand or more films not qualifying). Even in that context Seven Samurai is in rare company.

Thin Red Line looks good but Criterion doesn't list full credits on their front covers, also the date listing and criterion listing is messy (DAR LIM) and Antichrist looks kind of cool but something seems to saturated on the reds ofthe criterion listing etc for it to be real.I could be wrong. If the THIN RED isn't Offical the person who did it, did a nice job, then again it seems very close to the older cover art also.

They say on the blog that they are NOT official.

I can't wait to buy them. Lou Reed even hates it. Look he has a headache. Dang it.

It exploded about three pages of posts ago.

Several releases list director's/producers on the cover art, and The Fugitive Kind has multiple actors.

See people who don't watch arthouse stuff still knows who Kurosawa is. My point.

They also know who Godard is more often than not. Doesn't mean they've actually seen any Kurosawa or Godard films outside of Seven Samurai, Yojimbo and Breathless, but I digress....

do people really take the amazon pre-order thing seriously? because there are other titles if you just 'search' for 'Criterion Blu-Ray' such as Gentlemen's Agreement,
Nights of Cabiria, Hamlet (Olivier), Bicycle Thieves, etc.

Man, that is what a 3-page fight started from, me saying the same thing. Already went down that path friend.

Yes please! I would love to upgrade to Blu-ray. Yes I own all the movies that have been release for her on DVD and if all her movies were available I would have them....what can I say I might be a mindless drone but I love Audrey Hepburn

While I think Charade is a good first release I would personaly prefer they release Wait Until Dark first but that is just a personal thing of mine
