Criterion Additions

I think it's coming as a bundle w/the new-ish sequel, TINY: The Life of Erin Blackwell.

Greg Mottola's first feature--surely this MUST be laying the ground for Superbad and Paul to join the collection?

I remember it vaguely as the sort of well-made Amerindie that got lost when Tarantino-wannabes took over Hollywood. But this can't be the best example of its time and place?

― Anne Hedonia (j.lu)

It got excellent reviews at the time and I remember Woody Allen, Scorsese, a few others in those early internet days praising Mottola.

does this mean Ben Stiller's mom (Anne Meara) is in the CC before he is?

no, ben is in royal tennenbaums

DECEMBER: Old Joy; Until The End Of The World; The Story of Temple Drake; and a Blu upgrade of Tunes of Glory.

the 287-min cut of Until the End of the World, damn

better shorter!

disagree, wish he'd release the 20-hour series edit he says he started with, want to live in this film

Fail-Safe confirmed in latest newsletter.

in Until the End, I thought that's how long it would take Jeanne Moreau to die.

Flash sale is once again upon us.

Oh cool, site's down.

FYI Spike Lee confirmed Bamboozled out on CC in February

sadly can't the discount on the Godzilla set

Snapped up a copy of Cluny Brown at last.

Only allowed myself one this time around, albeit one with three titles (Koker trilogy).

probably gonna get the BBS set despite some movies I don't care about (5EP & Easy Rider). afaik it's the only way to get The Last Picture Show on blu ray

I love that set, except those two are my favorites on there so ymmv. Easy Rider in particular looks stunning on blu ray.

I keep waiting in vain for them to spin Head off into a single release.

I like both of em but don't care to watch 5EP again anytime soon. Easy Rider, maybe in a few years (I rented the standalone CC br and it does look great)

yeah Head is the one I'm curious about. also Drive, He Said

Hope you got Cluny Brown, Alfred. it's sold out now unfortunately

Damn, the Koker Trilogy blu is sold out too. I'll have to wait for the November BN sale.

January looks great

JANUARY: All About My Mother; Fail-Safe; Le Petit Soldat; Holiday; and a Blu upgrade of The Fugitive Kind.

Holiday also comes with the 1930 version.

B&N sale is go.

And (goddamnit) Godzilla is included! Which might be all I buy. My wallet thanks you, B&N. Sincerely.

Got the Koker trilogy from the flash sale, so I think I'm limiting myself to one or two random pickups/upgrades.

An Unmarried Woman is the best guess I've seen for that.

Diva seems as plausible.

Diva is certainly plausible, but since it's the "Single Ladies" Bey, and Unmarried Woman has been OOP for several years.

Sweet! Doing some Christmas shopping.

anyone seen The Baker's Wife? worth checking out a screening?

Definitely worth seeing at a screening.

Apparently another reason Criterion released The Daytrippers is that Janus Films now holds the rights.

Love the cover art. Also, that cast.

OUT TODAY! @Criterion release of my first indie movie, THE DAYTRIPPERS, starring Anne Meara, @RealHopeDavis, @parkerposey, @LievSchreiber, Campbell Scott and @tucci_stanley pic.twitter.com/6zvUlmtLgF

What, were Catherine Keener and James Le Gros busy simultaneously filming four other '90s indie flicks? (I kid, I kid)

is that Jaime on the cover art?

my first thought was Adrian Tomine but i haven't checked.

"New cover by R. Kikuo Johnson"

ah, the new yorker guy.

as opposed to new yorker guy Jaime and new yorker guy Tomine :)

im gonna go out on a limb here and guess that.......... Mother Kusters' Goes to Heaven or Chinese Roulette will be announced on Friday.

weirdly i don't think of Jaime as "the new yorker guy"
fair play on tomine tho

FEBRUARY: Paris Is Burning; Three Fantastic Journeys By Karel Zemen; Roma (Cuaron); Teorema; and a Blu upgrade of Antonio Gaudi.

As noted by literally every person I follow on Twitter, Roma means that maybe Criterion will put out The Other Side of the Wind.

Zemen set looks like tons of fun

XP and Buster Scruggs and High-Flying Bird and The Irishman and Dolemite Is My Name and...
