I've just discovered "Dumbland" on Criterion's Hulu page. It's a short web series by David Lynch about a white trash family. And it's hilarious. I wish David Lynch would do more cartoons. His sense of humor is always so bizarre.

Thats quite a list! Thanks! I have a large list of $19.99 (during 50% sale) movies I want, so I keep talking myself out of Red River. But the fact it is dual format, includes the novel and has the OTR broadcast makes it well worth the extra $5. I'm going to try and pick it up before the sale ends next month I've seen The Devil and Daniel Webster, but wasn't aware that there was a broadcast version, yet alone “Daniel Webster and the Sea Serpent,”. Sounds like something I need to look into

Alright boyos, I'm feeling one more buy for this sale. Do I go for the Jacques Demy set, having only seen Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Le Demoiselles de Rochefort? Those both feel like enough reason for me.

I was pretty cool on Youth of the Beast, but Tokyo Drifter has turned me around on Suzuki. It still has some of the narrative problems I had with Youth, but little moments of delight like Tetsu being bested by a camera trick with the "elevator" and Tatsu being warned of Tetsu's arrival by hearing his theme song make it a blast to watch. (There's a scene in Youth, the scene in the model-maker's apartment. It's shot as a miniature movie within a movie, which is the same kind of joyful filmmaking.)

I once waited 5 weeks for B&N to ship a single Criterion. In-store is always the better option for them. Just a reminder that the B&N 50% off Sale ends this coming Monday, the 28th. Final weekend, folks. My haul this time; Red River Stagecoach Cronos The Devil's Backbone Scanners Sansho the Bailiff The Hidden Fortress A Brief History of Time Ace in The Hole

B&N non-member shipping does kind of suck, but they're good about refunding the cost of shipping if there is a delay. I got the shipping refunded on my last order because of a delay. Final haul was: Seven Samurai Brazil Band of Outsiders L'eclisse The Life Aquatic Pickpocket Pale Flower Three Outlaw Samurai

I only picked up the Three Colors: Trilogy set, and Persona this time. There's just so many releases coming out before the next sale that I want, so I didn't want to go crazy like I have the past few sales.

I was kind of blown away by the featurettes about digital restoration on the Jacques Demy box. Do any other discs have similar stuff? Are there any good feature-length docs or books on film preservation and restoration written for a relative layman?

Until I came here I was ecstatic thinking it could be "The Devils"... Ah well, "Satyricon" is good too. Oddly I got the laserdisc for it last year which has an amazing behind-the-scenes piece I'm sure they'll carry over. EDIT: Also really limited myself with the sale this time cause money is tight: Ace in the Hole (an upgrade; easily in my top 5), Red River (which I haven't seen in years but have on laserdisc), Judex (which is fantastic), and Scanners (flawed, but has some incredible scenes and the supplements are fantastic... except for "Stereo" which I barely made it through).

I wish more Criterions offered audio commentary, even if it was just a critic discussing a film that they particularly like.

Anonymous Robot posted:I wish more Criterions offered audio commentary, even if it was just a critic discussing a film that they particularly like. I wish this too. They are the biggest motivators for me to buy something. The ones for the Kurosawa films are great and Steven Prince's one for Straw Dogs is a true piece of scholarship. Made me see the film in a completely different light.

I like Steven Soderbergh's commentaries, especially the one he did for The Third Man. It's just fun to listen to him comment on things.

Commentaries are great for the obvious reasons, but they also make a compelling excuse for me to watch movies a second time and take in the little details of them without getting distracted/overly invested in the narrative.

There's a fine line between dull and hypnotic. I experienced them as the latter (well, more Crimes of the Future). Also I really like the author JG Ballard and those films are probably the closest you can get to one of his short stories on film.

Nothing for me this month, which I'm actually grateful about for once. I'd like to revisit Tootsie, IHON and L'Avventura, and I'd like to see the Hellmann and Blank stuff, but I can get all that from the library.

It Happened One Night is a blast. Holds up perfectly as a romantic comedy. Even better, it's a Sony restoration, so it'll be another demo quality disc.

and here I was thinking I'd never find something to spend my $30 in Reward Certificates on! I shouldn't have returned the hard drive I didn't need so early, I'd have $45 to spend instead and still could have returned it and left myself with a negative point balance. Oh well.

Does anyone have experience with bringing back a Blu player from the states? I'm in the UK and had a region-free player but it died, and now I can't play my nerdy criterions. I can't find the model I previously firmware-upgraded for anything near the price I paid the first time. I'm visiting the US this weekend and I'm thinking of taking advantage of the Best Buy sale to get some discs because it's a pretty good opportunity to not spend a ton of money on shipping my snobby twat movies overseas. I figure it might also be a nice opportunity to get a blu-ray player also. In short, are customs gonna be upset if I try bringing a blu-ray player home in my luggage? Is this a big no-no? Am I going to be taxed horribly and painfully?
