I hope that some day Criterion releases The Wiener documentary as a substantial package.
It will go nicely next to my copy of the The War Room.

My contention is that "Time" doesn't suggest anything to mean "Election."

And I'm saying that it doesn't have to. Time gives an assist to the drawing of HRC. A drawing of her alone wouldn't be immediately recognizable. Not to mention the fact that nearly every recent drawing has hinted at a film we already knew was coming.

I'm really rather surprised that I'm on an island here, but thats ok... I'm comfortable and kind of used to that around here.

Actually, it should be a double feature with Wiener Dog (by Todd Solondz), if Criterion could package it like that.

More like The Joker

Could be Criterion expressing their opinion on the outcome of the presidential ELECTION with a likeness of one of the real life candidates. I can see the other posters reasoning here.

I do see the argument for Woman of the Year, but something is holding me back from thinking it's being released.

Oh man, I was hoping we'd see Wiener Dog because of the IFC connection, but I guess Amazon takes precedence in that distribution.

I've been wrong plenty of times, so I'll hold out that possibility and will gladly keep my word if Woman of the Year comes to pass. Just one copy, though... for someone here. ...and you have to wait for me to be able to get if for under $20.

Well, since nobody else has signed up for it, I'll take it once we hit a 50% off sale.

I don't know what series you have been watching, but if you mean contemporary US Television, then definitely that is no benchmark to assess the possibility of your liking Dekalog.

Thanks ravenus! I'll take you're word for it! I think I'll give Three Colors a go instead.

Oh, and I've been watching Sorrentino's The Young Pope and loving it, got me feeling I was ready for a long-form arthouse series haha.

[Polaroid]

Ordered:

Dekalog
The New World
Del Toro set

Do have the Arrow Dekalog set but can't hurt to double dip when its 50% off... well hardly 50% with the exchange rates but better than before! Just looking at DVDBEAVER, but am I correct in saying Arrow set is the super one?

Also broke the 200 Criterion blurays mark (have around the same if not more in DVD's though).

I should not be making such expensive orders when I don't start job till next month and not been at work last 2 months! but oh well, who needs food?!

I really quite enjoyed watching Wiener Dog in my local arthouse theater. Devastatingly lurid!

Upon exiting the theater, I nearly stepped on a Dachshund himself. Speak of the devil!

I doubt that this is it, but I just thought that I would throw this out there:

Once Upon a Time in America

One of my favourite films of all time, but I don't get the connection???

Time Magazine, only the one copy we see, and Hilary Clinton running for president of the United States of America.

I like to think that it IS the film Election, as it seems more fitting. With OUATIA, that may seem possible. Fox owns the film due to it being a Regency title, and there are talks of getting the remaining footage getting released, so we may have a reason there.

That would be wonderful but even better would be Il Mare

Of course there are Korean BDs but they are very expensive. OTOH, so are Criterions if you live in the UK

I have both on Korean DVDs back from the early noughties... they used to do some great editions - sadly I sold my The Classic wooden box (for about £100!) but I still have my "TV set" of Welcome to Dongmakgol

Calling it now: If this turns out to be true, it will become the best selling Criterion blu ray ever. It would also be the most mainstream movie they released on blu ray. And its thread would get posted in so often you would need to scroll back several pages to see what was posted from the last time you saw the thread, only to find out that 9 out of 10 posts were some nonsense.

It's 100% Woman of the Year.

[Illy Scorsese]

Gonna try and pick up "Dekalog" in store this morning... Want to get a undamaged box.

This is going to be a blind buy, but I loved "Three Colors" and "Veranique", so this seems like a slam dunk.
