FitFortDanga posted:People are saying the December press release only mentions the AK box, Gimmer Shelter BR, and A Christmas Tale. I'm sad that Criterion still hasn't bought the rights to Dreams. I don't know what the majority opinion of that film is, but it definitely ranks as one of my favorites, and I really want to see a criterion transfer of the film.

So, I've seen about 10% of the films. If I saw one per week, I would finish the collection in about 9 years... if they didn't add any more.

I'll probably never get to 100% (I doubt I'd want to sit through all those Paul Robeson movies, or King of Kings) but most of the others are on my "need to watch" list.

I figure with Netflix I could get through at least 3 a week, maybe one time when I have a LOT of free time, say if my girlfriend leaves me, I'll devote some serious time to completing it.

I'm at 14% and that includes films I viewed via other mediums (i.e. I saw Z years ago, but not Criterion's DVD). Not every film is essential, anyways.

Wow, 13%. That's way higher than I was expecting. Of course, most of those I saw on IFC/TCM instead of the actual Criterion DVDs.

First leak: Rossellini's War Trilogy cover looks like a shot from Open City  EDIT: actually, that might be from Germany Year Zero. I remember Paisan better than the others. FitFortDanga fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Oct 15, 2009 |

I just hope that's not a new Eclipse box, I'd like to see more themed sets like the Nikkatsu Noir or Louis Malle's documentaries. Also, 16% on that List of Bests. I figured somewhere between 16-20%. Guess I got some catching up to do.

So, the complete January slate in a nutshell: #496: Che (1/19/10) DVD/BR #500: War Trilogy (1/26/10) DVD #501: Paris, Texas (1/26/10) DVD/BR #140: 8 1/2 (1/12/10) BR Eclipse 19: Chantal Akerman in the Seventies (1/19/10) Crowd-pleaser of a month. Nothing I want to buy except 8 1/2, but I'm curious about the ones I haven't seen (Che, Akerman) and will give the others a fresh viewing.

AccountSupervisor posted:Has there ever been an official explanation as to why Armageddon and The Rock were made into Criterions? "Summer blockbuster genre." But really it's to finance the ones that don't sell a lot but are worthwhile to put out. So happy that Paris, TX is coming out on Criterion. Harry Dean Stanton is a force in that movie.

Good to see 8 1/2 is coming in January after all. I'm curious on the War Trilogy since I enjoyed the excerpts from Paisan and Open City viewed in a film class I attended.FitFortDanga posted:Criterion also released The Big Chill and Tootsie Why do people spaz out about the more commercial titles? At the time The Rock and Armageddon were released by Criterion, Disney generally didn't do special editions - usually bare-bones. From what I've read, both are quite comprehensive and give a lot of insight into the making of the films. A scholarly treatment of tripe like Armageddon at least will be informative on the technical side. That's why I think this IFC deal is great. While time will be taken up on these new releases, they're going to have a lot more profit. Profit that can go to stuff like Tati BluRays.

As I said before, the Armageddon Criterion is also the only one with like 1/2 hour of deleted scenes that maybe/maybe not makes the movie more comprehensible. Still love the movie. I hope Criterion keeps up the high quality titles. I think the problem with the Michael Bay Criterions were that they cost the same price as the more "important" films when Disney should have released regular DVDs with some of those special features.

So it turns out the Claire Denis interview was for Paris, Texas. As excited as I am for that release, I still hope Criterion eventually releases something by Denis in the future. Also, Until the End of the World if we are talking about Wenders.

I was surprised to see that I already received my Third Man case today. I have no evidence to back this up, and I'm probably wrong, but it seems a little thinner than the other cases.

Like I said, I was probably wrong. I think the spine threw my eyes off since Repulsion's logo has some space above and below it, creating an illusion of thickness.
