The car carrier would be a good hint for a Tati collection since they've been sitting on Mr. Hulot's Holiday and Mon Oncle for over a year. The car on the upper front looks like Hulot's car and the middle one on the bottom looks like the monstrosity from Mon Oncle.

Is the guy digging the grave representing Shallow Grave? That would be pretty great. My other thought was it might be Cemetery Man, but I doubt it.

Don't forget Maude's pendant, which apparently means Rosemary's Baby.

Just received a blu-ray in the mail, and the casing is crushed. I live in Europe and ordered it from amazon, so returning it just seems like it wouldnt even be worth bothering with. I see criterion sells cases on their page, but only ship to US and Canada. Are these type of cases sold anywhere else on the web?

I've heard of them doing this before.

I shot Jon Mulvaney an e-mail about a month or two back because one of my cases for the Carlos Saura Eclipse set was crushed and he sent me one within a week.

Also my story here in Canada where I had a basement flood and 5-6 criterion bluray cases & booklets were wrecked. They sent both the cases & booklets free of charge for all of them - including The Third Man that is out of print. I recommend sending an email explaining your situation.

Only with audio CD's. Both of the orders had one cd with a broken jewel case. I opted for a replacement and got them without even returning the originals. They said it wasn't worth the trouble. So it's worth trying to get a replacement. Oh, and it was all free of charge.

Was sold by TDI Holdings Inc not Amazon, that might be the problem.

Archyduke posted:Tiny Furniture isn't very good but I suppose it's reasonable for Criterion to have at least some acknowledgement of mumblecore in the catalogue, and Tiny Furniture is, if nothing else, probably the most high-profile example of the genre. Have to agree with this statement. Criterion is pretty good about having representatives from all sorts of different genres (Armageddon comes to mind), and like it or not mumblecore is (was?) sort of a thing in the mid-2000s. I just finished watching Tiny Furniture. It wasn't as terrible as some of you were making it out to be, but I found myself really starting to hate the main character about 10 minutes into the film, and that feeling never went away.

That's the second biggest reason I hate it. The biggest reason is that I think it was trying to be a comedy and it's the most aggressively unfunny thing I've seen in ages. I don't disagree that they should have a nod to mumblecore in the collection but I'm pretty sure there are actual good mumblecore films.

FitFortDanga posted:Criterion's saying it's not Badlands. Have they denied its Good Burger yet? That shot looks reminiscent of Abe Vigoda's touching final scene in the movie where, after working in a burger joint his entire life and learning a lesson in enjoying yourself because life's too short, he heads down to the marsh to eat his first honest burger. And that's when he gets shot by a bunch of gangsters hoping to incite a mob war. Or maybe I'm thinking of a different movie.

In case anyone missed it, all signs point to it being Alambrista. Sounds pretty interesting, I'll give it a slot in the Netflix queue.

When fire breaks out of control, four of the outcasts are given the opportunity to earn enough money to get out by transporting six crates of unstable dynamite through miles of jungle in two ancient trucks. Will they succeed and regain their honor and citizenship, or get blown up for their efforts? This sounds extremely close to the plot of The Wages of Fear... maybe too close.

I'm intrigued by everyone who thought it was Badlands. I just finished watching it and there's not a shot anywhere similar to that in the movie. At least nothing in the Purple/Orange sky area.
