The Criterion Collection Thread 2.0

[project-blu]

no hate here. i've seen numerous big threads go un-updated for a while. i don't take it personal. i tell all the guys i work with offsite, that real life comes first. always. i'm not the best choice for doing this, but rest assured, i'll do my best, and if you have any suggestions, as i am going to change it around QUITE A BIT, please let me know!

i am going to use some of your info, as you did a lot of the linking work for me already. i'm greatly appreciative of your work on it.

My only suggestion would be, if you can stomach it, don't use pics of the cover art anymore. I like having them but it becomes limiting because of the 10pic per post limit. Now that there are near 100 Criterion Blu-rays it will take quite a few posts just for the pictures and you'll have to add more posts soon enough.

please DO keep the artwork.
one of the best things about the thread imo.

[project-blu]

he's actually right, though. the image tags for this forum, mod, staff, member, doesn't matter, are 10 per post. that means i'd need 10 posts solely for a rundown. i'll probably run with pictures of pre-releases only. get people excited.

i have a few plans, and i have about 4 hours i can spend solely on this friday. ya'll like what i do. don't worry.

I could not be more excited about Kiss Me Deadly...beyond happy this is getting the Criterion treatment. As for the rest of the June releases...haven't seen any of them, but will be sure to check out the Malle films and People on Sunday for certain. We'll see about Roeg's Insignificance.

Criterion's latest newsletter illustration hints that Kubrick's The Killing is coming soon

[Darkcritic]

Looking forward to Insignificance and Kiss me Deadly! Really excited to see those coming out. If Criterion decides to release The Killing I would be drooling all over the place. Criterion and Kubrick make up for some great additions to my collection.

lmao, april fools!

[Darkcritic]

Great April Fool! I laughed so hard when I saw it at the site and they even took the time to recreate the whole thing and not just the cover. Another reason to love Criterion (Like if there weren't enough) xD!!!
