I hate to be that guy, but I was thinking about getting the Jackie Chan set before the end of the B&N sale and now I won't.

Why just those two Chan films? I demand Supercop!

It just occurred to me that the boy in The Night of the Hunter, which I am rewatching for the first time in a while since it is about to expire, reminds me a little of Buck Owens.

The 'Directed by Ida Lupino' series is great, all the movies are GREAT, some of them have been easily available before, but not really all of these collected. The great shame is that OUTRAGE is not included.

not VERY young! her first album was recorded when she was 11, and she had another five out as an adult by the time she made the movie (at 25)

Alphaville is by far the best 60s Godard movie

Christ there's a ton of Godard on there, death notice?

was wondering if they were going to add a bunch of Schrader flicks. Light Sleeper is one of my favorite '90s noirs, he's essentially mining his own previous scripts and turning in a real brooding NYC piece with lots of high-end cocaine atmosphere and terrific performances from everyone involved.

*when rather than if, since he seems like a guy Criterion has taken an interest in a bit more lately.

would like to see LS get a nice blu-ray release, it had a DVD release years ago but it's probably not ideal.

I'm a Criterion Channel person now! I've been making my way through the '70s Science Fiction list, which had a few entries I've wanted to see but never got around to

Between this, the Anna Karina retrospective at the Film Forum, and the Anna Karina retrospective on TCM, I feel like I'm drowning in Godard. I don't know where to turn because I've seen them all already. Maybe I'll check out Le petit soldat at the Film Forum, that's a relatively rare one.
