Wouldn't mind The Great Rock-n-Roll Swindle to be released by Criterion, but if we're gonna dream of a punk documentary getting the Crit treatment, I'm voting for New York Doll.

As far as Sid & Nancy, I realize, that like all movies, it's a poor representation of real events. I don't expect a two hour movie to accurately portray a time period spanning years. It doesn't sour anything for me. I think dissing an entertaining movie for bending the facts is like praising a boring movie for being truthful.

Anyways, the fact is that most people who dismiss this particular movie knew the real Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen as much as I did, which is not at all.

It's early. Don't be let down.

Obviously, someone at Criterion thinks it was good enough to release. I really enjoyed it, even if I found it flawed. Just read my review. (No, the shameless plugs will not end.) Then again, my tastes differ from a lot of the people here. I'd personally like the big C, as no one calls them, to get their hands on Glen or Glenda. If you thought House was weird...

As for 2012, if Harold and Maude is truly a release, that's not bad. Fiend Without a Face would be nice to port to Blu. It's not great, but it's worth it for the climax.

Walker is a crazy movie, and totally worth seeing. I wouldn't mind seeing it get an upgrade, although it isn't at the top of my list.

Man, I have looked around before to try to find again, and I don't know if I just made this up in my mind, but I thought this was rumored at one point.

The last five Criterion's I purchased online either showed up with a damaged/cracked case or the booklet insert pages were bent from it being tossed around so much in shipping. I really hope Jon Mulvaney will throw me a bone.

Please, oh please be true.

AND yet another reference to Y Tu Mama Tambien. The tease is becoming an anticlimax.

Anyone think the waves might represent Breaker Morant? Just a thought since I think it was rumoured.

Yami · 01-01-2012, 10:21 AM

My thoughts:

Coney Island: Lonesome
Motorcycle: Quadrophenia
Woman on Motorcycle: Harold and Maude + Nanook of the North
Necklace: Rosemary's Baby?
Car Onomatopoeia: Week End
Menage a Trois: Y Tu Mama Tambien
Mime: Les enfants du paradis
Gravedigger: Shallow Grave
Poster: Eating Raoul
Woman on Car: Summer with Monika
Marionette: Being John Malkovich
Samurai: Three Outlaw Samurai
Iceberg: A Night to Remember

SolidBlu · 01-01-2012, 11:05 AM

happy new year!

Melodious Thunk · 01-01-2012, 11:26 AM

If Criterion release Harold & Maude on BD, I'll be one happy bunny.

Happy new year, everybody.

octagon · 01-01-2012, 11:40 AM

All the honking/beeping is probably Traffic, no?

Oh, and for the car carrier I'm going to go totally stupid and say Used Cars. Blame the cabernet.

Yami · 01-01-2012, 11:41 AM

Godard's Week End probably.
