I will order it the second they list it. I won’t even wait for a sale price, period. I’ll gladly post some form of proof when that occurs here even.

I'll have to look that up. I sadly admit that I don't know it.

The Windsor knot - the only way to tie a tie. I judge male politicians based upon the way they tie they're ties. Seriously.

That's scary.

Great picks - I strongly recommend Tampopo. Someone else listed it the other day. Of the films I own from the Collection, I find it one of the most entertaining.

Don't worry, it's only one factor.

Seriously though, when I'm approached by a male wearing a tie the first thing I look at is whether he's using a Windsor knot. I guess my dad drilled the proper way to tie a knot into my brain.

Unfortunately I don't think it will happen. I am disappointed every single time they announce upcoming line-ups and it isn't there. Pretty much given up on a Criterion release for it. It just bothers me that others like Eureka, Arrow Academy and Kino Lorber haven't touched as well.

The most frightening part of it is that I remember being able to do it in seconds, with my eyes practically closed. But it's been decades, literally, so I'm just standing in front of the mirror.

Sad. Very, very sad.

My Beautiful Laundrette


I need to figure out some others.

A Face in the Crowd is a must have.

Tie it? You can't even type it

I will look into it.

LOL! True enough. Man this has been a busy day. Heh.

for those that have seen Robinson Cureso on Mars and Things to Come. Which do you like better? I seem like Things to Come more than Robinson.

You can’t make this stuff up folks.

For All Mankind is listed on the Janus homepage.

No contest, Things to Come for me. Robinson Crusoe on Mars was a snooze fest for me, but maybe I need to give it another shot.

That release has been out for years

Last December I said to myself, "OK, you can't afford the Bergman set now, but come July..."

Change it slightly, damn it.

Now, you have to always explain which one you're talking about all the time.

Call it Fellini's Roma, or explain that the difference is between a very interesting and unique, if flawed, film by an old master and a middlebrow mediocrity that will be forgotten in the next few years.

Easy!

I completely forgot that it's announcement time. Hopefully they are good.

I'm watching Sansho the Bailiff on the Criterion Channel with 5 minutes to go when the screen freezes, crashes, and then returns to the main Roku screen. When I go back to the Criterion Channel it doesn't recognize me. I can't log in so I have to go through the whole process again setting up the Roku. Ten minutes later I was able to watch the last 5 minutes. What a pain. Seems like the Criterion Channel is a little buggy. This isn't the first issue I've had.

El Toppo
The Fly (1986)
Gummo

my favourite part about that film is the spaceship invading shot they re-use like 20 times
