The Criterion Collection • Page 33

Awesome month. I actually just watched Daisies like a month ago. Cool movie. Not exactly to my taste, but clearly an important film.

I have the WKW boxset so I’ll forgo the 4K of In the Mood for Love, but I’ll probably buy everything else.

 

I'm going to watch Malcolm X on Sunday, I've been wanting to watch it but know I need a full day to do it since it's 3h 20m.

 

Sucks, just bought the WKW set.

Love Spike Lee but still haven't seen Malcolm X

 

Might have to go for the In the Mood for Love Criterion!

 

The Criterion Channel would be my most used streaming service if it was just available on more devices. Does not work on either of my tvs and of course no PS5 support

 

OH HELL YEAH

 

Him going with the Godzilla boxset just feels so perfectly on-brand

 

It's on Xbox but it's so bad

 

Give. Me. The. Godzilla. Heisei. Set.

I know Janus Films has been getting distribution for the films. Just release the box already.

 

I love how he eventually just talks about David Lynch movies and reveals Anthony Hopkins does a great David Lynch impersonation

 

I’m going to watch a few Ozu films this weekend. Thinking about starting with

Tokyo Story, Early Spring, and An Autumn Afternoon

Are these 3 good ones to start with? Should I add any others?

 

I have always thought Late Spring was his best film.

 

Should I go ahead and add Early Summer, too?

 

Go for it! You can't go wrong with late Ozu.

 

Hell yeah

 

Oh, huh. Interesting.

My first thought: “If they’re working with Disney on popular flicks now, is a Criterion release of original theatrical Star Wars possible someday?”

My second thought: “What will the first Criterion superhero movie be? Hopefully Ang Lee’s Hulk.”

 

Tank Girl

I don't care if it counts as a superhero or not

 

Fuck yeah wall-e

 

I always thought people were too enthusiastic about that early Pixar rub, but WALL-E mostly earns it.

 

What's the point of movies that are already really popular and accessible and that have also already been released on blu ray being in the collection?

 

I imagine some of it is money. WALL-E helps pay for the stuff that isn't going to make a lot of money. Same goes for more popular arthouse stuff like Wes Anderson.

 

Patiently awaiting the School of Rock criterion release

 

I guess so, it just doesn't feel right.
