I think the font looks perfect. Just like an old pulp novel.

I'm surprised it's coming out before the film finishes touring. Well, it's not a huge amount of time before, I guess.

Woop, August 1st. That means I can get Red Shoes & Black Narcissus when they come out.

Hmm, the B&N website doesn't include The Life Aquatic in the sale for some reason.

Rush Hour Renegade posted:Save yourself a trip and email Jon Mulvaney. I had this happen to me on a copy of Variety Lights, I had bought it before it went OOP but didn't open it until much later. He mailed me a new insert right away for no charge. You should have no problem getting one. Email him at mulvaney@criterion.com and let him know the situation.

Wow, that's a great lineup. Paths of Glory is the only thing keeping me from 100% excitement, just because I'm almost totally ignorant of it. I've got it on my Netflix instant queue; maybe I'll watch it this weekend. Only way the month could have been better would have involved Videodrome, I guess that's going to be November or December.

I generally prefer the covers that are composed of shots from the movies. Bigger than Life is one of my all-time favorites.

It was a fine concept, but the colors they chose were odd.

I will loving explode if Criterion releases Quadrophenia on Blu-Ray, but I won't take these as an indication of anything until they say so.

The essay that comes with The Killing is probably one of the worst I've read in a while, and it actually started to make me angry enough by the last paragraph that I almost didn't finish it. Half of it is trying to justify the movie by making (frequently strained) connections to characters, events, techniques in other, more well-known movies. That is unnecessary; this is a great movie, talk about this movie! And I hate the lazy incest of the "this film is about film-making" interpretation that gets thrown in.

I like that one! It's not analytical, but I like the writing style and think it gives a good history and context for the movie.

The Quadrophenia cover is snazzy, but this image from the soundtrack will always represent the movie for me:

Speaking of, when's the Rashomon bluray coming? I saw Janus's fantastic restored print last summer and am surprised it hasn't shown up yet.

I take full credit for Rashomon's arrival, since I just bitched about it the other day. This is the first Eclipse set that I'm 100% interested in, despite my aversion to buying new DVDs instead of blurays. I mean, I'm sure they scale up just fine, but I just get this fear from bad experiences with some of my DVDs…

I grabbed Godzilla and Gimme Shelter, but really this was just an impetus for me to finally buy a HOUSE shirt.
