The Criterion Collection

I haven't listened to that interview yet, but because we know "After Hours" is coming, I assume they meant "Raging Bull" as opposed to all Scorsese.

Just out of interest do we know if Criterion are releasing other John Waters films besides - Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester etc.? Are they putting out Cry Baby, Pecker, Cecil & A Dirty Shame?

There's been no talk of this, and it would really surprise me if it were to happen.

Last John Waters spoke of Pink Flamingos he said Warner was releasing it themselves. So far no mention of any other films, though Cry Baby does have a Blu-Ray already, it seems the PQ can be approved on and I don't believe it includes both versions. His later films will most likely get released by the studio directly, if they ever decide to do so.

I'm hoping Criterion will work on Desperate Living next so we can get all early Waters films on Blu. Then we just need Pecker, Cecil, and A Dirty Shame to get his full filmography (minus Mondo Trasho and early shorts of course, with Mondo never happening).

After Hours is just strongly rumored, we don't know for sure. It's been mentioned by someone not with the company who claims they're working on it, but until an official announcement I remain skeptical.

Whether it comes today or at Toho's booth at Comic-Con (which starts tomorrow), I can't wait for that Godzilla announcement.

Sure. Just drop them an email. I think it's 5.00.

Thank you for the input. Dear Jon Mulvaney.....

I hope they do a movie like Greed for #1000. I don’t believe it’s been released on dvd even. Maybe the 4 hr restored version along with the original 2.5 hr theatrical release.

Preparing for the most underwhelming set of announcements ever.

I said, quote, "If Criterion releases The Devils or The Tenant I will fart"

Folks I have it locked and loaded

But I can only wait so long

In the case nothing happens regarding these two releases I'll figuratively and literally let go but the moment will forever be spoiled

I think giving Keaton spine #1000 would be quite fitting and appropriate.

I'll second this. We know The Cameraman is coming, and they've released a film before while its still making the circuit. Also, IMO this film was Keaton's masterpiece and for baseball buffs there's that early footage of the original Yankee Stadium. Seem to remember also that Keaton was quite the baseball fan as they played baseball a lot on his pictures.

Still think an WKW boxset going to be mid 2020.

Criterion has a new post about Almodovar.

I truly hope this is a good sign of things to come.
