Sending the closet to Brooklyn in an easy target. I want them to send it to Staten Island or somewhere in the South. Let's see how many Ozu fans are lurking in Mississippi.

Nothing about my comment was unkind.

You should see the Staten Island Barnes and Noble Criterion selection. It's most of the most recent 3 months of releases and the David Lynch documentary for some reason.

The absolute best B&N Criterion selection I've seen is the location adjacent to Liberty University.

Only one that I've seen carry Indicator US titles.

Does anyone have a list of feature-length movies included as extras in all of the BD/4K releases?

I.E. Killer's Kiss with The Killing and Shaft's Big Score with Shaft.

After watching my BD copy of All the Beauty and the Bloodshed tonight, which was released earlier this year, it looks like the Timeline feature is no longer a feature on any of their discs. No one probably cares, but I'm glad I know now.

This is an old post by a redditor, but it may help you:

Just noticed that the Blu-Ray of Powell & Pressburger’s “A Matter of Life and Death” is “Currently Unavailable” on Criterion’s website. Do we think it will come back in stock or is a 4K in the works?

It’s interesting to me that they keep renewing that Spartacus license (I mean, thankfully; it’s still an amazing package).

There's enough Criterion could add to make a 4K upgrade worthwhile, as great as Universal's edition is.

[Ned Brainard]

The King of Kings is the one that I'm curious about. David Shepard's last project completed in his life was a restoration of this film in conjunction with Lobster Films. It was released in Europe, but as of yet it is still MIA over here. The copyright may have been the culprit, but that should have lapsed last year. It is a little surprising that Flicker Alley hasn't put it out, but perhaps Criterion is still involved as it has worked with Lobster Films in the past (Love Affair for instance).

I received Paris, Texas 4K and No Country for Old Men 4K as Christmas gifts.

I've been blindsided this past week by family emergency stuff and may not be able to delve into these discs as soon as I want, but I am glad to have them on the shelf for a free day.

I think he just likes his clothes that way, a bit baggy.

I love listening to this man talk about film and film history, but it was sad seeing how hard of a time he was having standing in the closet without bracing himself. But first closet visitor in a long time I actually found some worth in hearing what they had to say.

A similar situation with me, my friend, so let's stick together and pool our hopes and prayers for better outcomes and ways to enjoy those future free days for watching our Christmas hauls.

Shame on Kevin for feeling he has to qualify movies that are in black and white. Does he seriously think Criterion fans who would watch this video are averse to black and white movies? Or is he grossly misguided as to the age demographic of his fading followers?
