Nooooo. The Grey was my favorite movie of 2012.

I also love The Way Back, though, and that was one of my first Blu-ray purchases.

The Great Owl · 07-19-2013, 06:40 PM

So, I finally stumbled across the Fake Criterion Covers site.

I would buy this particular movie in a second...

I loved the Crimebuster robot when I was a kid.

It's very, very good. It's right up there with the likes of Downfall and The Lives of Others.

Have either of you seen The Edge? It wasn't really on my radar, but I think it's actually a phenomenal survival movie. Kind of like The Grey, but with a bear.

Yes! I saw The Edge at the theater.

Bart, the grizzly actor who starred in the movie, died from cancer in 2000. This was a terrible loss to cinema, because he was amazing in every single movie that he starred in. (The Edge, White Fang, Legends of the Fall, etc.)

September and February if I'm not mistaken. But they've also had flash sales at random times (like when they 100,000 fans on Facebook or something).

I miss the days when they put real animals in movies.

Nicolas Winding Refn at the Criterion offices

Whatever could he be doing there?

I just got The Red Shoes a few days ago, I might keep that in mind for whenever I get around to watching it.

The Edge is a very thrilling film. I saw the film in a movie theater when it was released and really liked Anthony Hopkins' acting in that film. Such a fine actor!

I would not call this film a masterpiece by any means but it IS one of the better survival-story-genre films out there.

The Grey is indeed a great film

Grabbing free movies, just like they do with every other celebrity that goes there. It's not a sign of a potential release.

Am I the only one that finds those closet videos unbearably awkward? I don't know what it is, but I squirm for about a minute and then turn them off.

They're awful. Bill Hader looked like he wanted to kill himself.

starman15317 · 07-19-2013, 07:45 PM

So if I direct a movie, I get free Criterions?

Other good mash ups:

-The Blob/Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) (or any other B movie, really)

-Badlands/Bonnie and Clyde? (honestly, I've never seen Bonnie and Clyde so I don't know how well this really works.)

danmovie · 07-19-2013, 07:50 PM

A review was just posted of a Charade (1963) blu-ray released by Universal, which seems odd.

Does this mean that the Criterion Charade will soon be going Out Of Print?
