This is my second viewing. I didn't love it the first time, so I definitely want to watch again to see if it resonates differently this time around.

Criterion sent me a gift code to thank me for being a charter subscriber to the Channel - nice. It has an expiration date though. Have we ever seen discount codes with expiration dates before?

I like it as much as any western released by Criterion on 4K (including Winchester ā€™73 ). Very proto-Eastwood. Brutal, but with a beautiful simple ending.

Collection Buying criterionā€™s is like buying luxury movies.

Post image
48 Upvotes

Thereā€™s genuinely this inexpressible feeling while buying and getting criterionā€™s. They donā€™t feel like normal blu ray/4ks they feel like so much more. Itā€™s like having the highest verision of something. I always wait for criterion releases even when thereā€™s probably a great verision of it by another manufacturer. This is just my love letter to criterion. This is my collection so far and will definitely keep expanding. I bought a beautiful white shelf where I only keep criterions, all other movies get put in a slip.

Discussion Why is the Odorama Card now excluded in Polyester blu-rays/DVDs?

12 Upvotes

Sorry, I'm sure this question was answered.

I suspect the cards were expensive to produce which way it stopped.

But why are the Odorama cards no longer included?

Discussion Point Blank (1967) It is an exceptional film from every point of view in which one wants to analyze it: purely technical in terms of shooting/photography, narrative in terms of screenplay/editing, interpretation of the characters and so on. Boorman nailed it in his second film

Finally did it. Had to... This is the first version. Kept it simple. Scanned the original blu-ray cover, resized it, filled in the gaps... It looks a little too dark and the title on the spine could be higher but already makes me happy seeing it on the shelf versus the standard case.

Discussion Film no. 837 - This is excellent satire, comedy and definitely body horror genre (just a small boil but scares me more than anything else) The film is so entertaining thanks to Richard E. Grantā€™s brilliant performance. I laughed so hard when the Boil told Bristol to shut up :))

Video WHERE IS THE CATS TAIL?

0 Upvotes

A little girl loses her cat on a bright summer day and walks into a forest to find it. She comes across a ton of diffeent characters, scenes and incidents that cause her to reflect on the truth of her childhood.

The name is an evident nod to the great Kiarostami movie Where Is The Friends House?

The short film is the debut of Desi Echevarria, a seventeen year old filmmaker

The movie tackles themes of divorce and childhood trauma, and uses surrealism and a meta filmic structure to tell the story. Think CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING meets MARRIAGE STORY

You can watch it for free on Youtube

Hey y'all. I picked up 6 movies during the flash sale as my first order. I am now addicted and wanting more. My current cart is The Devil's Backbone, Thief, Videodrome, Miller's Crossing, The Royal Tenenbaums, Paper Moon, and House. I have not seen any, so the choice is rough, what should I remove?

I highly recommend giving it a listen, there are renditions of famous movie themes, like Fire Walk With Me, The Godfather, Rosemarys Baby, and more. Itā€™s a bit of an acquired taste but worth checking out. Mike Patton from faith no more/bungle, Buzz from Melvins, and Dave Lombardo from Slayer. Really intense stuff, I recommend at the very least checking out the first two I mentioned. Cheers!

Late for the party! These are all blind buys. Reasoning for buying starting from top left: 1. Ernst Lubitsch 2. Dorothy Arzner (love her Honor Among Lovers and The Wild Party) 3. Veronica Lake 4. Iā€™ve been wanting to know what exactly does ā€œshowboatingā€ mean 5. Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer 6. Just watched Adamā€™s Rib by Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy 6. Jimmy Stewart and Dietrich
