The Criterion Collection • Page 36

Watched Keane (2004) on the Criterion Channel last night and it's a small indie w/ Damian Lewis, Amy Ryan, and Abigail Breslin that I literally never heard of before it was added and wow it was incredible. Definitely gives off a major Safdie Brothers vibe

 

Interesting. Saw that in the lineup for the month. I’ll add it to the queue

 

IT'S HERE

 

Great announcement month.

Targets
Petite Maman
Thelma and Louise

upgrades for Branded to Kill and Wings of Desire

 

ayyyyy shout-out to me a few months ago for not buying Wings of Desire

 

I definitely have the blu ray, probably won’t upgrade but this is really gonna chap my ass every month when this happens. Fortunately blu rays are pretty great.

 

Had a $10 code from the Channel so picked up:

Don't Look Back (adding to my current Bob Dylan obsession)
Bottle Rocket (completing my Wes Anderson CC collection)
inland Empire (which leaves Blue Velvet, Elephant Man, and Eraserhead to complete my Lynch collection, but I don't really care that much for the latter two)

 

Picked up:

Personal Shopper
Inland Empire
The Cremator
Salo
Bergman Island
Dazed and Confused
Malcolm X

 

haven't picked up anything in a while and just hit the threshold for that sweet $50 gift certificate.

pick ups:

inland empire
lost highway
frownland
streetwise
andrei rublev
au hasard balthazar
after life
la jetee/sans soleil
patriotism

 

this reminded me that I was super close to the threshold when I looked the other day, totally gonna order something else to get it for next time.

Went overboard and added the 4 Colors boxset lol

 

Got Steve Zissou, bringing my Wes Anderson collection one away from completion (Bottle Rocket). Also used a random generator to help me pick a random one to get. Ended up getting Thief

 

That’s a great random generator pick

 

I just picked up a copy of Pan’s Labyrinth but I’m happy with it.

 

Also got a copy of Hollywood Shuffle a couple weeks ago

 

I almost never buy physical media, aside from vinyl, but I had to grab Inland Empire

 

Inland Empire was my only pickup this time too

 

Cool graphic on Inland Empire

 

Discovery today: Janus Films website has little press booklets for a lot of movies

After Hours!!!

 

One False Move is so good.

 

After Hours is a day one (first flash sale after release) purchase for me. Holy shit I’m pumped

 

Not a big fan of the cover though

 

A really good month here. I think there’s a Scorsese plan at this point. 1-2 per year until everything is in the collection.

 

just picked up Moonrise Kingdom & The New World with my Channel birthday dollars.
