the criterion collection

viewtiful alan redux · 05.10.2010, 08:27 PM

Are there any other fans on the board? I've had a bit of a collector hard on for them for a little whille now, and I know there have to be some other fans on this board.

HaydenAsche · 05.10.2010, 08:36 PM

The Cliterion Collection's Reissue of Backdoor Sluts 9 was fantastic. You can see the words on the stapler as she's spreading for it. HD rules.

you've made this thread 3 times:
http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...ight=criterion

and this one.

YES, Criterion is okay, pretty overrated (release way too much obvious shit -- only early Godard, but no late Godard? Only a few Fassbinder things? No Kitano?) and way too expensive but they've released some gems (Dog Star Man, Hausu, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm, Revanche, Bergman stuff, etc etc etc). Still, $50 for a DVD? No thanks.

The Houston Public Library has all of Hollywood video's criterion collection DVD's,
I am gonna watch TOKYO STORY

atsonicpark · 05.11.2010, 08:45 AM

The best movie they've released is any of the classic Godards, and Branded to Kill.

Toilet & Bowels · 05.11.2010, 08:50 AM

Tokyo Story is fucking incredible

atsonicpark · 05.11.2010, 08:56 AM

I like it, but it's not even in my top 5 Ozus, hah..

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.11.2010, 10:44 AM

ooh I have Tokyo Story on my netflix instant watch. I need to watch that soon.

I don't really buy DVDs, but they do make Criterion Collection editions of a lot of movies by some of my favorite directors.

atsonicpark · 05.20.2010, 05:23 AM

Hm, so I guess Antichrist is coming out through Criterion? That's odd. Found that movie quite awful. I guess it'll probably make 'em a lot of money though, so yay.

Ghostchase · 06.02.2010, 04:15 PM

Recently watched Akira Kurosawa's Drunken Angel. Excellent film. I would love to own the Kurosawa Collection, but I don't have $500 spend on movies.

I think my next Criterion purchases are going to be Tarkovsky's Solaris and Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise.

Rob Instigator · 06.02.2010, 04:24 PM

Solaris rules.

Are there any Marx Brothers in the Criterion Collection? Or is it just movies after 1950?

wellcharge · 06.02.2010, 04:39 PM

i like them, i've never actually bought one, and honestly i don't give a shit about extras and picture quality most of the time. but the public library has alot of them so i watch them fairly often.

the last one i saw was this one and i liked it, the english title was vagabond

Ghostchase · 06.02.2010, 04:40 PM

Indeed, Solaris looks amazing. I'm just buying it without watching, I just feel its right up my alley.

I'm not familiar with Marx brothers. What are they all about?

Rob Instigator · 06.02.2010, 04:41 PM

anarchy

Better_Than_Deux · 06.02.2010, 05:02 PM

this guy:

(THAT'S THE ONE ON THE LEFT, OK)

stole my criterion edition of breathless. asshole.

Better_Than_Deux · 06.02.2010, 05:04 PM

look at him smiling about it, too.

like:

"ima take this bitch to prom, take her out to a nice dinner downtown, then steal the shit out of her favorite christmas present from '09"

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 06.02.2010, 05:05 PM

Slit his fucking throat.

Rob Instigator · 06.02.2010, 05:14 PM

I have heard so many horror stories of people's ex's having ruined/broken/stolen/sold their CD's/records/movies.

people treat each other like crap sometimes and they treat each other's possesions even worse.

wellcharge · 06.02.2010, 05:15 PM

i think i'm the only person that doesn't like breathless(actually i do like it,but not love) i think vivre sa vie and masculin feminin are alot better.

actually the book version of masculin feminin is one of the best things i own

Better_Than_Deux · 06.02.2010, 05:19 PM

yeah my life to live is fucking wonderful.

breathless was my first though.. you never get over your first.

[i shouldn't talk shit about blake for not returning my movie. it happens when you date people. things get 'lost'. but still, i can't believe he hasn't returned it yet!]
