To knock Bay being in the criterion collection is so a couple years ago.  Seriously kids, get over it.  If anything, y'all should be grateful that the sales of those discs helped get other films out there (both discs rank among their best sellers).

"I was expecting Michael to start talking about shots and cranes and camera rigs," Parkes says. "But he was focused on the story and its moral questions. That really surprised me."

Wow... Michael Bay must be turning a new leaf.
"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

That's what that article was about.

hmm, I wonder if "The Island" will get the glorious Criterion treatment, as well

Doubtful. The others were Disney; The Island is Dreamworks.

This topic has made me want to go watch Face/Off.
Raven haired Linda and her school mate Linnea are studying after school, when their desires take over and they kiss and strip off their clothes. They take turns fingering and licking one another's trimmed pussies on the desks, then fuck each other to intense orgasms with colorful vibrators.

My favorite scene from face off:
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm gonna take his face....off"
"His face...off?"
"Yes!"
"How awseome!"
The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.

When you are getting fucked by the big corporations remember to use a condom.

There was a FISH in the perkalater!!!

Though Life Aquatic clearly wasn't as good as everything else Wes Anderson has done, I'm glad it got the Criterion treatment, simply for consistency's sake (now where's my damn Bottle Rocket Criterion?!)

Also, the indie video store in my town has a full wall dedicated to Criterion. On the box of Armageddon they wrote "(This was a fluke)"
