A Poem is a Naked Person

Have watched only #1 & #3...Interested in first 3 for now...
Which qualifies the month for greatness (IMHO)...

Let's forgive criterion for keeping us locked for 2 days...

D.I.T.C. · 12-17-2015, 09:16 PM

Could not be happier. I want them all.

A Brighter Summer Day has probably been my most sought after film for years.

alien2010 · 12-17-2015, 09:16 PM

No interest whatsoever. The Manchurian Candidate is a great film, but I already own Arrow Video's brilliant edition so I won't be double dipping.

Paris Belongs To Us Can't stand that film. Thought I saw the last of this film at Uni. I guess I did not.

Let's not forgive. Yet another pretty poor month for me.

Very amusing to see people 15-20 years my junior who are bigger SW fans than I am, and they didn't even live one day in the 80s.

That said, Return of the Jedi was my very first experience watching a movie in a theatre...so there's that.

MifuneFan · 12-17-2015, 09:19 PM

Definitely in for Manchurian and Bicycle. Very likely will blind-buy A Brighter Summer Day as it sounds great.

Good for you. I personally do not see all the craziness about Star Wars

Scottie · 12-17-2015, 09:20 PM

I'll absolutely purchase Bicycle Thieves without wasting a second. I'll also be blind buying A Brighter Summer Day and Paris Belongs to Us.

I have my MGM Blu-ray of The Manchurian Candidate so I'll watch that before I make a decision. As far as Les Blank goes, I'll rent the movie on Amazon as it does sound interesting and Blank is quite the interesting person.

Awesome month!

Akijama · 12-17-2015, 09:20 PM

After two months without upgrades, they have announced Bicycle Thieves. What a comeback!

Great month.

So, the reason for the two-day delay gotta be Boyhood. They couldn't manage to squeeze it in for March.

atlantajoseph · 12-17-2015, 09:23 PM

Can anyone recommend A Poem is a Naked Person? I love Leon Russell's collaboration with George Harrison but not too familiar with him otherwise. Worth a blind buy?

themp3000 · 12-17-2015, 09:24 PM

In for everything but The Manchurian Candidate, already own the stacked Arrow UK disc. The resto would have to be leaps and bounds revelatory to get on my radar for a double dip. Excellent month.

Garbage? Honestly, I think you should seriously think about if Criterion is a label for you. This line up of titles is what they do and I cannot imagine what you and other complainers expect each month.

spargs · 12-17-2015, 09:26 PM

Definitely in on Bicycle Thieves and The Manchurian Candidate. Also will probably blind buy A Brighter Summer Day, as it sounds like it's right up my alley!

Illy Scorsese · 12-17-2015, 09:26 PM

Definitely in for "Bicycle Thieves".

I have never seen "A Brighter Summer Day" but I am very intrigued.

Also might be interested in the Leon Russell doc.

mja345 · 12-17-2015, 09:28 PM

Great, great month. In fact, the entire 2016 slate so far has been pretty stellar.

Gusto-Guus · 12-17-2015, 09:28 PM

Is that runtime on A Brighter Summer Day accurate? 237 mins.

Would Criterion ever consider the remake of Solaris? I know it's not in fashion to like that one, but I really do

Although A Brighter Summer Day will be 2 disc blu-ray, it seems the price will still be $39.99...kudos for that
