I think it's pretty much perfect as it is, but I'd still be curious to see this.

Like it wasn't torturous enough as it was.

I knew it wasn't going to look as special as it's main poster, but the art for that TOL cover is disappointing.
Their The New World looked amazing though.

www.criterion.com/films/300-andrei-rublevAll we need now is a Mirror release to round off Tarkovsky (I hear the transfers for the Sacrifice and Nostalgia are all ready pretty decent) and a Come and See release!

These are all the new Criterion releases for September:
Cold Water (1994) My Man Godfrey (1936) Scenes from a Marriage (1973) A Raisin in the Sun (1961) Andrei Rublev (1966)
I haven't seen the Assayas, it's been unreleased since '94 due to rights issues.... really looking forward to it.

www.criterion.com/shop/browse?popular=coming-soonSisters (1973) Shampoo (1975) The Naked Prey (1965) The Princess Bride (1987) Eight Hours Don’t Make a Day (1972-73) Thoughts? Love the Sisters remaster, but I'd be jumping up and down if they were doing Hi Mom! instead with (why not...) a new interview with De Niro & De Palma ! Anybody see Eight Hours, the Fassbinder? Some call it his "lightest" work.

I've seen some of Eight Hours Don't Make a Day but not the whole series - it was pretty great and addresses his themes of work and monetary gain. It's always talked about in his body of work because he had to write it and direct it for TV and it was him having to deliver under a timeline and restrictions.
That's a major release I'd say, haven't heard of it in a long time.....

just watched Shampoo the other day and was very underwhelmed. Princess Bride is a nice pick though. That Bergman collection is INSANE though. Thirty discs for $240. I just skimmed the list but I think it's his entire filmography www.criterion.com/boxsets/1427-ingmar-bergman-s-cinema

I'd get it though. To have all of his films and it could always go higher if it does go out of print.

Shampoo is sort of bubbling under as a cultural touchstone waiting to be rediscovered in a way - I've seen it a billion times and I still watch it - a lot of people don't get it at first and give up on it, but it was made at a time and about a time that shows you how different things are and sort of going backwards in a way too.
A film about sex (never happens in American films - ever), sexual politics, political identity/personal identity and most importantly personal politics - what you are, what that is and means at any given time - it actually, in the Trump era speaks louder than it has in a long time.
There is not one major actor in the last ............well ever? that would have played that bastard of a part and ended up so crushingly alone in it and within it - certainly not the guys that were called Beatty's "peers" - not Redford certainly, and not Newman (well not after Hud anyway) and certainly no actors that came after him.
The screenplay by the great Robert Towne is deceptive because the first watch is a comedy, the second watch is more a horror show of time marching on and mercilessly leaving you behind, it's a very unique kind of American film in that way - its misunderstood I'd say, a lot better than people think it is and a lot more on its mind too.

Criterion's new front page looks horrid More than that, their site is now impossible to navigate.

Still need to see Ambersons.... part of me has avoided it for years because of the fact that it's butchered. It's not totally butchered, only really the ending they re-shot without his permission or input. Even so, the ending isn't so bad as to ruin the thing. It's masterful stuff otherwise.

that Some Like It Hot cover Ambersons and Chikamatsu have already been in my watchlist for a minute. Maybe I can catch them on Filmstruck someday.

Love the Forty Guns cover.

Post by Mattsby on Sept 24, 2018 1:13:02 GMT
I liked Forty Guns but it just doesn't come together. Take its theme song High Ridin' Woman (which plays over the beginning and end), the first half of the song is a really strong feminist song and the second half is, well, very different. That's sorta the problem with the movie too - it starts with a strong character, great visuals, fast-paced, but it becomes mixed and overloaded and betrays its heady themes.

www.criterion.com/shop/browse?popular=coming-soonMikey and Nicky (Elaine May) Notorious (Alfred Hitchcock) 4 Months 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) In the Heat of the Night (Norman Jewison) 24 Frames (Abbas Kiarostami) Mikey and Nicky is a favorite, I really love it, but it's been sittin' pretty on FilmStruck for a long time now and The Heartbreak Kid is desperately, desperately in need of the Criterion treatment, maybe it's up next?.......

Wow, that cover art is damn good. And a great little scene for all of us coffee drinkers -

Mikey & Nicky is a no-brainer purchase for me I've owned it on VHS and a previous DVD - its like seeing Pacino (Cassavetes who he borrowed from a lot) and DeNiro (Falk) or as close as you can get to it in the 70s - in a whole movie, interacting at their peaks. I rank it higher for films of the 70s than a lot more famous films and you also get a brief appearance by acting guru Sanford Meisner.
