THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL (Buñuel, 1962) - shown in a new transfer on TCM preceded by Janus Films logo.

SIMON OF THE DESERT (Buñuel, 1965) - shown in a new transfer on TCM preceded by Janus Films logo.

They were on shown on TCM last week. I taped those two along with Los Olvidados, Nazarin, and Viridiana. Five Bunuel films in one day. Prettttty pretttty prettty good.

That's why someone needs to catch The Conformist in July on TCM to see if it is also preceded by the Janus Films logo. Would mean great things and odds are good it could be true.

Does anyone remember the site or thread that had fan-created covers for Criterion DVDs that will probably never be? I remember some PTAs, etc. ... Some of those were neat.

ARGH! the bane of my existence! if only they had released this two years ago. did you know this was remade into a 1986 Nick Nolte film, "Down And Out In Beverly Hills"?

it seems so, yes

Alethia · June 15, 2005, 01:34:35 PM

well that is most certainly good news.

cowboykurtis · June 15, 2005, 02:01:21 PM

where was that "new releases" list found?

are you sure that's accurate?

if so, I've been waiting for a good transfer of Man Who Fell... for years now.

N Roeg's films are way to overlooked. I waited for Don't Look Now for years as well. I wish Criterion would do a better transfer - the current release is sub-par.

More Preston Sturges, yes!

Bad Timing has never even been released on video, as far as I know. It is just as edgy as Roeg's other films.
