re:Ashby-Word on the net is it's either Shampoo or Harold & Maude. Paramount had been working on a deluxe of the latter but the elements were in pretty rough shape.

already working out the most virtriolic variants on "Certified Copy was 'minor Kiarostami' and they put out this??!"
― encarta it (Gukbe), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 20:43 (fourteen years ago)
I still think the Certified Copy snub was more along the lines of it not being so much "minor" as just not a high priority at that moment.
― The Man With The Flavored Toothpick (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 20:47 (fourteen years ago)
Which seems ridiculous to me, what with all the accolades. Still not released on DVD.

I got Hulu+ for the Criterion stuff and it's been a good investment. The best one I have watched so far was Devil and Daniel Webster, which tbh scared me so much I kind of felt like I should go to church the next day! Equinox was also badass. Worst so far has been The Plumber, which wasn't really bad, but it was billed as a comedy and I would have put it in the "creepy movies about awful humans" category. Turns out it was made for TV.
― Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Friday, 15 June 2012 21:48 (fourteen years ago)
They just added Mahler and Eraserhead to the Hulu+ channel.
Also: The B & N 50% off sale started today.
