The Criterion Collection

[dressedtokill]

Unpopular opinion, but I actually don't mind the cover for The Worst Person in The World. Anyway, definitely in for Pink Flamingos, hopefully Desperate Living isn't too far off in the future.

Speaking of Tupac, we really need Bullet on Blu-ray. I always figured that would come pretty quickly from Shout once they opened the WB gates, but it hasn't. Love that film.

The ecstasy to read Criterion will release The Tales of Hoffmann, followed by the agony to learn it is not a UHD release.

Oh well, it's up to you, BFI or SC.

[NeilZ]

Nothing for me this month.

This must be terribly upsetting for you.

I never posted the answer until today. But it won't happen again.

Yup. First time the game's been ruined for me, and I play every day. They couldn't even be bothered to spoiler tag.

Little known "fact": The Other Side of the Wind was the working title for Blazing Saddles.

I just put it in a spoiler tag.

Happy to find other wordle players here. I play a bunch of different ones too worldle (my favorite besides the original), heardle, quordle, and a couple others.

[Raven_Sky]

In for Farewell Amor, Rogue and Shaft.

This is great, Criterion posted a video of Fred Armisen reading a letter he wrote to John Waters when he was 15 years old, and Waters reading his original reply back to him:

I'll blind-buy WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, but will pass on the rest.

[Reddington]

I already have the SC release of The Tales of Hoffmann, so a pass for me this month.

The 15th has become a bit of a double-edged sword. I want titles that interest me to be announced, but feel relieved when there's nothing to add to the already embarrassingly large unwatched pile...

[BunyipPouch]

Solid month. I'm in for The Worst Person in the World (one of my favorite movies of the past couple years, first one I went to see twice in theaters in a long while), Shaft, and Pink Flamingos. Maybe Rouge down the line too.

[ilenewoodsfan99]

So incredibly enthusiastic about The Tales of Hoffman getting an upgrade. I have always yearned to see it and will definitely be picking this one up! I've got a very good feeling this will be a huge favorite of mine!

If you don't mind streaming "state-of-the-art" lossy stereo audio.
