The Criterion Collection • Page 27

The Riggs set feels long overdue. Same with The Human Condition upgrade, but I'll probably pass on it since I've already got the Arrow set. Pariah is an inspired pick for a contemporary American film too (re: the other recent conversation in here).

Need to see this one, seen a lot of praise for it on my Letterboxd feed over the last year or so.

 

I watched a Youtube rip in college after hearing that it influenced some Korine stuff. Haven't seen it since, but certain parts still stick with me.

 

The Human Condition upgrade (Harakiri is one of my favorites in the collection) and Streetwise are definitely the two that pique my interest.

lots of chatter about that Riggs set though, and looks like a steal of a deal.

 

I wish Criterion had a physical subscription service where you could get 1 (or 2) of the newly announced titles at sale prices. I’d rather have a steady drip of films than splurging during the sales (which is also very fun).

 

The Human Condition is incredible. I'd love to own that, I need to see if we have it in the UK.

 

Pariah is a fantastic movie. Hoping the Criterion release puts more eyes on it

 

Of course B&N won’t do a sale when Biden Bucks are on their way.

 

Just got a free month of the channel. Looking forward to watching some excellent stuff

 

Watched Smooth Talk the other night. What an absolutely fantastic movie. Laura Dern and Treat Williams are both great. The Criterion is loaded with special features and the booklet also includes the short story by Joyce Carol Oates that the movie is based on.

 

Watched a bit of the Marlon Riggs collection on the Channel, might pick up that one to see Tongues Tied since I don’t think that was on the channel

 

Lol at assholes putting their blu-rays of In the Mood for Love up on eBay for over $75. Plenty of brand new copies on Amazon for $28

 

THE MIRROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Fuck yeah Bringing Up Baby. Why did I think that already had a Criterion release?

 

Mirror and Bringing Up Baby will be insta buys during the sale.

 

They have a good amount of Cary Grant so I must have just assumed. Regardless, yeah, super into it.

 

that's one Tarkovsky I expected Kino to have for a long time. so happy

 

Been meaning to watch Deep Cover too, Bill Duke is great.

 

Johnnie To is coming to the collection!! A Big Deal!!

Throw Down

 

never seen The Damned but I love that cover

 

Excited about The Damned. I couldn’t watch it before it left the channel because the dubbed audio frustrated me, and it’s very hard to come across otherwise. A proper release was pretty high on my list.

 

Love and Basketball!

 

Yeah that was a really cool addition

 

Great month.

 

I’ll check out Love & Basketball and Throw Down before the November sale for sure!
