Criterion Collection on DVD. Recommendations please.

(Should be a comma after 'DVD' there. You get the drift.)

on brand Wes Anderson from that NYTimes article

Anderson, who asked that verbal tics like “uh” and “um” not be excised from his quotes, told me that he had always admired how Criterion covers tended to be “more adventurous than, uh, what a movie studio would be inclined to go with.”

I'd argue Region B is actually a better region than A to be in these days! But yeah I own a multi region player.

There are even region B Criterion discs, I own a couple

"Whatta 'bout me, Ned?"

I have no thoughts on the matter.

That's a helluva set for a movie I have almost no interest in owning

XP Haha, I already forgot they were also doing Risky Business too...thought it was funny you were slighting just one title.

what's a charter subscriber? like the channel?

People who signed up when it first launched.

i'm not sure but in 2018 I got an email about being a charter subscriber and have been one since. I think it was from people who had filmstruck subscriptions and then became initial members of the Criterion channel?

Kerry Condon being brill in the Criterion Closet...

Would almost rather they held contests tho for people to do raids of the Criterion closet like notables do on their YT channel.

Charter members are ones who got a membership in the first month. I got a membership card for being subbed for the first 3 months.

All right, I joined in out of the gate, I can enter. And I will!

<You Will Stand In The Same Spot As Michael Cera!>

Have I mentioned lately that I've been in the closet and got Night of the Hunter blu-ray?

Thievery. You broke in under cover of night. (Well maybe not.)

I entered too but honestly I would pay good money to hack it so Ned wins

Criterion now owned by Indian Paintbrush. Wonder what that will mean. Hopefully it’s a god thing. Hope they don’t move to the west coast though.
