All boxsets: Fellini, Wong Kar Wai, Agnes Varda, and Bruce Lee.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 1 January 2020 18:02 (four years ago) link
Guess they're giving Fellini the Bergman treatment.

and those other three boxes are A+ anyway
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 01:13 (four years ago) link
I'm assuming the Varda box will just be an upgrade of the "4" set. I think the WKW box is his entire body of work.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 01:15 (four years ago) link
I think the Varda set will be bigger than just upgrading the old box. Her estate controls most if not all of her films, and I believe they are working with Janus on a touring retrospective, so there's a lot in play.

has anyone watched Chinese Roulette on the Criterion Channel? I don't have it. How does it look? old Pathfinder (?) DVD looks iffy. they've put out something by Fassbinder every year for the past decade or so, haven't they?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:58 (four years ago) link
what's the likelihood the WKW set is all 9 features? I'd plonk down for that fer sure.

APRIL: The Grand Budapest Hotel; Me and You and Everyone We Know; The Cremator; Destry Rides Again; and a reissue of Army Of Shadows.

Fucking seriously w/that hot Me and You... trash, Criterion? Seriously?
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:35 (four years ago) link
I'm shocked they hadn't put it out yet tbh. I never saw it, never appealed to me, kinda seems of a piece with Wes Anderson (Budapest Hotel finally gets a disc release after 5 years?)

Anderson had to sign off on GBH, and obviously was delayed making two movies.
MAYAEWK too has been in the pipeline for a long time. Vintage IFC title, IIRC.
― a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:10 (four years ago) link
I haven't screened MAYAEWK in like 10 years, but upon that viewing I realized if you toned down a lot of it, the film isn't that far removed from a Drew Barrymore Romcom.

I haven't seen Me and You and... but ... maybe this makes me a shit worthless toxic male but, The Future was maybe among the 3 or 4 worst movies I've seen in my entire life.
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:38 (four years ago) link
Me and You... sucks. Hard. It made me angry.I was finally coaxed past my distaste and watched The Future. Much better July.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:57 (four years ago) link
LOL, xpost (got distracted mid-post)If you thought The Future was that bad I want you to liveblog your reaction to watching Me and You when/if that happens.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:59 (four years ago) link
The Cremator is very good! Might have to save up for that.

xposted from another Criterion thread -- Target.com is doing a Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale on video games, movies and books through Saturday. Comes out a good bit cheaper than the B&N half price sale if you work it right. (Their price for single Criterion blu-rays is $23)

Jason Polan died yesterday, he designed a number of covers for CC and drew the NYE & email doodles.

Parasite and Memories of Murder, though no release date announced. https://www.thewrap.com/parasite-and-memories-of-murder-from-bong-joon-ho-to-join-criterion-collection/

Perhaps there's a chance of Okja as well, given Criterion's licencing of 5 other Netflix studios titles.

nice been wanting to pick up Memories of Murder forever but it's been prohibitively expensive since it's OOP RARE

MAY: Husbands; Wildlife; Dance, Girl, Dance; The Great Escape; Scorsese Shorts (ItalianAmerican; American Boy; The Big Shave; It's Not Just You, Murray!; and What's A Nice Girl Like You...); and a Blu upgrade of Rohmer's Six Morals Tales box.

We've all seen movies become Criterion display cases. But we've never seen a Criterion display case become a movie. WILDLIFE... coming soon

The Great Escape! Is this a new addition to the Criterion Collection??

Yes. I wonder if they will include the Rick Dalton screen test.

The despair is compounded by the fact that I'm compelled to spend the amount it takes to get me to the next $50 gift certificate and then buy three more.
