Blue Velvet Revisited looks fascinating, which is enough to get me to rebuy. I recall the MGM edition is one of their discs with no real menus, just the ugly [MENU] button ones.

They’ve also been licensing a ton of films to Kino Lorber ranging from 30s Selznick films to Cabin Boy. There’s a 100% chance we’ll see it come from either Criterion or Kino.

I imagine they're going through the "big hits" of Lynch's filmography before they get into the more niche stuff.

I'm wondering now if they're not building up to releasing Lost Highway and Cache in the same month.

Cuaron: A Little Princess G Harry Potter PG Gravity PG13 Roma R G rated movies are hard to come by admittedly, so yeah it's rare. But that speaks more to the lack of non animated G rated movies than about the breadth of any given director. Given the list below the quality of a director who does so is very variable. Edit: Lasse Hallström Hachi: A Dog's Tale G A Dog's Purpose PG Safe Haven PG13 Casanova R Garry Marshall (has actually made two of each!) The Princess Diaries G Runaway Bride PG Beaches PG13 Pretty Woman R Stephen Herek 101 Dalmatians G Mr. Holland's Opus PG Life or Something Like It PG13 Robert Zemeckis The Polar Express G A Christmas Carol PG Beowulf PG13 Flight R Rock Star R Agnieszka Holland, Gary Winick, George Miller, Mike Mitchell, Yimou Zhang My favourite (and also my favourite director, and most appropriate for the Criterion thread): Éric Rohmer (this shows how arbitrary ratings are, especially for foreign films, his G, PG, PG13 and R rated movies are all incredibly similar in style and content) Peaceful Anarchy fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Feb 16, 2019 |

It's an extra on The Seventh Seal's Blu-ray (and in the cinema set), but Bergman Island is a wonderful documentary. Mostly intimate interviews with Bergman about his life as he rewatches home movies and clips from his films, as well as gives a tour of his home. There's a wonderful bit where he shows his fireplace, which was designed so that he could sit back with a glass of wine next to it and look at toward the sea. Also get to see his personal cinema, which is a little theater with green armchairs for seats and was converted from a barn. His living room where he kept his TV has a wall full of VHS tapes. I found it fascinating because Bergman is surprisingly candid about himself. He doesn't hesitate to talk about how awful he could be to others. One story he tells is Victor Sjostrom having a talk with him after hearing he was being a tyrant to his crew during the making of his first feature film. Bergman acts out the encounter as if Sjostrom grabbed him by the neck and being subtly threatening.

For the charter subscribers of The Criterion Channel, the movie of the week is To Sleep with Anger. Actually a big deal considering it's a Sony title, so I hope this means they get to continue having major studio films in addition to the stuff they have through Janus.

Also, Life Aquatic, Fear and Loathing, and Mulholland Drive made ZERO dollars? I don't think so, fellas. This looks like meaningless data to me.

I think it just means some titles are in the database, but never had figures updated. It seems accurate for those actually listed since $500K would mean approx. 13-15K copies sold, which is plausible.

Does Criterion Channel stream any supplemental material along with the films like featurettes/documentaries/commentary? I'm a sucker for those kinds of bonus features and they're literally the only reason I still buy anything on physical media.

This week has an hour long supplemental feature, and a couple shorter ones. I hope content like that isn't a rarity when they launch the full library.

To Sleep With Anger was really good. I loved it, actually. A superstitious and spiritual family drama with a devilish Danny Glover hamming it up? Hell yes.

This is definitely going to be a flash sale buy since I've heard nothing but good things about it. I've wanted to see Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep for a while, but Milestone hasn't upgraded it to Blu-ray yet.

I did a little bit of a deeper write-up for the Streaming megathread, since it's appropriate there. I really want to watch Killer of Sheep as well. It gets brought up quite a bit in the supplemental features.
