Writer credit on the cover. That's...unusual.
― Room 227 (cryptosicko), Thursday, 15 November 2012 21:49 (thirteen years ago)
Is this some original poster art?

not a fan at all of the indie-comic artwork stuff they've been doing these past few years tbh.

Over on the Criterionforum, somebody id'd the woman in clue F as Diane Keaton in Looking For Mr. Goodbar (candy box + glasses she wears in much of film). Alot of these are double or even triple clues, so it could fit with the Repo Man genericism of the box.
― Big Sambola & The Tailspinners (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 02:12 (thirteen years ago)
I'd be as excited about Goodbar in the CC as anyone could be who allegedly dislikes the movie.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 03:06 (thirteen years ago)
how excited would you be about Babette's Feast?
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Monday, 7 January 2013 04:56 (thirteen years ago)
As excited as I would be about any movie I have no intention of every watching in my life.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Monday, 7 January 2013 05:50 (thirteen years ago)
It is now believed on the message boards that the candy lady is Jane Horrocks in Life Is Sweet by Mike Leigh:

Uh, so every movie in the Criterion Collection is available for free streaming on Hulu this weekend?!

― johnny crunch, Friday, 15 February 2013 22:15 (thirteen years ago)
Every movie in the CC and then some.

Watching right now.
― Stranded In the Jungle Groove (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 February 2013 00:50 (thirteen years ago)
Is there another way to view the titles than that nearly random cover categorization? Kind of annoying.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 February 2013 07:07 (thirteen years ago)
uh, commercials? Fuck that shit.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 February 2013 08:05 (thirteen years ago)
Indeed both of those things are annoying. Is there an instantwatcher for Hulu?
― Stranded In the Jungle Groove (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 February 2013 11:55 (thirteen years ago)
Mrs. Redd just sent me a link to Richard Brody's picks: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/movies/2013/02/criterion-for-all-ten-to-watch.html

Morbs, I talked about this on one of the Criterion threads and also the Hulu thread -- I was sick of that cover art thing too, tracked down a list of Hulu-streaming Criterions, and made this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Alm9ijj_zohtdEd2blozRllOSjlqSVpLd1MxbkNUTVE
I printed it out two ways, sorted alphabetically by title and by director. Very handy if I do say so.
― I Don't Wanna Be Dissed (By Anyone But You) (WilliamC), Monday, 18 February 2013 13:30 (thirteen years ago)
Thanks, William. Clicked on the director column but couldn't find the Sort function.
Watched A Married Couple yesterday and got completely bummed out. Maybe will watch Zorn's Lemma in a bit.
― Stranded In the Jungle Groove (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 February 2013 13:38 (thirteen years ago)
OK, changed the view from Spreadsheet to List and had more success.
― Stranded In the Jungle Groove (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 February 2013 13:39 (thirteen years ago)
Click on the column you want to sort by and left-click -- "sort A > Z" and "sort Z > A" will be available options. Column C is the average IMDB ratind, D is the runtime, E is the year of release.

*rating
I guess that would be right-click for most users -- I have my mouse buttons set up opposite from the common usage.
― I Don't Wanna Be Dissed (By Anyone But You) (WilliamC), Monday, 18 February 2013 14:14 (thirteen years ago)
Hahahaha we watched Married Couple, too, although loved it / turned it off 3/4 of the way through since it looked like it'd just be another 25 minutes of fighting (watched Woman Under the Influence before that, so had kinda reached a yelling tap-out point.
― Faried, Spirit Manimal (CompuPost), Monday, 18 February 2013 14:44 (thirteen years ago)
The website seemed to constantly recommend it and I kept wondering what it was: some Ingmar Bergman film I'd forgotten I had seen?
