gently caress yes. Antichrist was one of my top 3 from last year. It will probably be my first Criterion Blu-ray. 8 1/2, Seventh Seal, or Third Man would have been but I've made a vow to myself that I won't buy Blu-rays of DVDs I already own or I know I would spend myself bankrupt.

Don't get me wrong. It's beautiful. I just don't have the cash. Maybe after I graduate and am no longer a poor college student. Or if they decide to do Brazil.

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo!/photo.php?pid=12238825&id=24856820564 We all know Hausu is coming. I wonder if "From today's screening" for this, and Antichrist yesterday, means those will be in the July announcements. I'm actually a bit bummed that they've been telling us so much about their future plans. The 15th is more fun when there's more surprises (although there still have been a few surprises anyway).

doctor thodt posted:Too bad I already imported it from the UK This is one of the main reasons I don't like to import. I'm always afraid the US release is right around the corner, and it'll be superior. I already got burned on Seventh Seal... if and when Criterion releases Double Life of Veronique, I'll probably double-dip (or triple-dip if you count the DVD) again.

The worst part about the Fish Tank Blu-Ray from the UK is that it doesn't have subtitles - which, if you've seen the movie, you'd know are a requirement at some points. I'll probably be double-dipping on this for that reason alone

I highly doubt it'll be a Criterion now, as they would have to justify a new release just for supplements. It would have to be absolutely loaded, with Starewicz' "The Tale of the Fox" included. Then again, Criterion released Armageddon only four months after Disney's bare-bones edition.

Assuming that's the whole July slate, my thoughts... Red Shoes/Black Narcissus - These should be stunning in hi-def. But I think I'll just rent them. I've been making too many hasty purchases lately. I like both these films a lot, but like most Powell & Pressburger, I don't need to own them. Ozu - See above. I like all the Ozu I've seen, but not enough to buy any. I haven't seen either of these two, however, so I will definitely check them out. Secret of the Grain - haven't seen it, another rental Sacha Guitry - This looks the most interesting to me. I've never seen any Guitry, but I'm curious. And it'll allow me to knock another title (The Story of a Cheat) off the TSPDT 1000 list. Guess I'll be saving some money in July.
