Is this a joke lol? (I'm very tired)

That could legit be a Portlandia skit without changing anything besides putting it Carrie Brownstein. and Fred Armisen in their place.

Holy hell!

I mean, all they had to do was literally choose any still from the movie and it would be perfect.

But that cover is nice, too.

God this would have made a great digipak set, where you open the case entirely to a large screenshot from film, like Salo’s artwork! Ah well!

You might like one of my favorite closet videos. A group of cinephile brothers who thought they were being invited into the closet just to admire the collection.

Has that ever happened yet? Someone who goes in there and doesn't "take" anything at all.

Friedkin took just one.

Othello got pushed back to October too, but they've added "Filming 'Othello'" to the supplements.

Yep! It's going to be a great release from the looks of things.

[MJD64]

Pretty surprised to see that Barry Lyndon, Twin Peaks and The Lure are all utilizing original poster art, that's a rare thing for Criterion.

Hang on... Othello is now October??
