The Criterion Collection - Page 5074 - Blu-ray Forum

I just finished watching Salò and it was surprisingly not as bad as I had imagined.

I avoided the film for almost a couple of years because I was worried about being nauseous throughout it. Well, I was in the mood to watch it tonight and it didn't really bother me at all. The thing I was most worried about was the ingestion of feces, but after reading that the replicas were made from chocolate pudding and a marmalade, I was not as bothered.

It's a decent political film for sure. My only complaint is that as the film progressed, I grew less and less interested. I actually found it boring at a few times.

Overall, it was fine. I'm certainly glad to live in a democracy.

Thanks, that was entertaining. Did I miss the reference to a 'new' relationship in the article, though?
The Supplier Profile at the end mentions that Costco offers 19 Criterion titles. What? Where are they? The several Costco's I frequent in the Bay Area usually have a crap selection of BRD's, although I do find some nice bargains [esp digibooks].

They have some nice stock as of today, but looks like they may be another outlet to grab a few titles from in the future. They usually sell all titles at $19.99, so its a pretty nice deal. Plus for all you case OCD members, you can find one that is mint enough for you...

Read the Costco thread in the deals section.

That's quite a streak of films you've got going. You should watch Begotten next.

I'm trying to go through my unwatched Criterions to see what ones I like and dislike.

RE: Begotten - I've heard of that one. I think I've seen a clip on YouTube. It looks really messed up.

In film class in college we were to bring in a clip from a favorite movie. Some dude brought in Begotten and upset the entire class.

Oh God. I can believe it.

It honestly seems like a rather disturbing movie. I wonder what other films that guy enjoys.

It's one that I'd like to see sometime, because I liked Merhige's Shadow of the Vampire so much. But I confess that I'm in no great hurry to see it.

The opening 10 minutes might put you off....

Monte Hellman's Westerns! The Shooting/Ride the Whirlwind!

More importantly, they're killing me with this facebook update today.

Good job. Too bad we already knew these were coming, although that didn't help me figure out the clue. I would have liked a total surprise.

I hate asking, but I haven't seen these films. Could you explain the clue?

Hellman's is a brand of mayonnaise, and the hat suggests that it is his Westerns.

[Show spoiler]

This is my copy

Maybe they are finally teasing us that they will be issuing the BLU for the U.S.

Not really about the films themselves per se:

Hellmans is a brand of mayo. Monte Hellman is the director. The 10-gallon hat connotes westerns. Therefore we get Hellman's two western films The Shooting & Ride the Whirlwind.

And Hellman's Facebook page confirmed this a few months ago saying that Criterion was working on these releases.
