Criterion News and Discussion

[picolas]

this thing is more or less an annual happening right? i'd rather destroy my wallet after these other crites come out.

My fucking car broke down the day this sale started, so I planned on not buying anything, but the last day of the 50% off sale, I bought Che and Paris, Texas, both on Blu-Ray. I ALMOST bought Chungking Express but I showed restraint. Wish I wouldn't have.

EDIT: Goddamnit! I hate starting new pages.

News and notes....



Newsletter picture. Most guesses suggest either Head or Easy Rider. Both are circulating rumor mills so both could be coming even though Easy Rider does have a new Blu Ray release.

"George Hickenlooper has stated today on the Hollywood Elsewhere site that his Peter Bogdanovich documentary (Picture This: The Times of Peter Bogdanovich in Archer City, Texas) will be on the Criterion release of The Last Picture Show."

Also, because of a new deal with Sony, Scorsese's Taxi Driver, Five Easy Pieces, The King of Marvin Gardens, and Safe Place are being much discussed as possibilities.

I wonder if they'd include the Scorsese commentary that was on the Criterion LD of Taxi Driver.
