Criterion Additions

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...

Sure, but there's clearly one Netflix title that's hanging out there like a big overripe Criterion target.

Yeah, but it's part of the game to speculate about what'll come out the floodgates after only one title from a new partner gets announced.

Second Run just announced they are releasing zeman’s ‘journey to the beginning of time’. And yes, he is lots of fun!

Surprised by no Bamboozled, SL said it was coming out in February

Second Run have done a great job on Zemen so far.

30% off everything on the CC site now thru 12/12

Missed this the other day, but The Great Escape confirmed in latest newsletter.

hopefully with the leo dicaprio scene from once upon a time

...and relevant scenes from A Streetcar Named Marge.

Neon has announced Criterion will be handling home media for Portrait of A Lady On Fire.

MARCH: The Prince of Tides; Show Boat (1936); Leave Her To Heaven; Bamboozled; and upgrades of The Cranes Are Flying and Salesman.

Come and See (1985) rumored, as Janus Films is releasing the restoration theatrically in 2020.

I didn't know The Cranes Are Flying wasn't already on BR, great movie, + really glad Bamboozled has finally been announced.

where tf is Taste of Cherry? 😔

The Prince of Tides. Seriously. On Criterion. The Prince of Tides.

good god, they gave Streisand total creative control even

Both The Rock and Armageddon have Criterion spine numbers. Film restoration funding has to come from somewhere.

Still not a perplexing as Jellyfish Eyes.

Not to mention releasing every Wes Anderson movie. I like the guy but there's no way he has that many films that deserve to be in the collection, but as you said, it's what funds their more esoteric work, no complaints.

PoT: directed by a famous woman; that's all you need

Wait, Criterion puts out a yearbook?

The annual yearbook has arrived.
And what a year it was. ❤️🙏

2 COOL 2 B REISSUED

New Year's Doodle:

That's It.

All boxsets: Fellini, Wong Kar Wai, Agnes Varda, and Bruce Lee.

Guess they're giving Fellini the Bergman treatment.

yuck

easy money

yup

and those other three boxes are A+ anyway

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.

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.

well gooooood! 😏

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?

what's the likelihood the WKW set is all 9 features? I'd plonk down for that fer sure.

WKIW WKW

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?

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?)
