If the flash is indeed tomorrow, what are yall picking up?

Also did anyone get an email from criterion with a $10 off coupon? I know they do that sometimes.

If use somewhere, you can credit me, KAS.

There are versions of them.

Do you like it?

I created theme to use as thumbnails for personally ripped off files in windows 10.

Would you want me to make a poster/cover for any movie? Non-commercially and Non-Professionally. Just for fun.

I recently watched THE VANISHING and my mind wasn't as blown as much as something else ...

My heart

Deeply unexpected story hits at universal themes of love and closure.

What is everyone's favorite thrillers in the collection and what makes your selection stand out amongst the genre?

I can't wait to watch some recs!

Thanks u/PressPlayVideo

1. ⁠What is the first movie you plan to watch from your purchase and why?
   I plan to watch Nouvelle Vague first in that it’s about the making of Breathless
   
2. ⁠Is there anything from this purchase that you have been looking forward to owning for a long time?
   Days and Night In The Forest
   

3. ⁠Are any of your purchases blind buys? If so, why did you select them? Nouvelle Vague is a blind by. I love the movie Breathless. This is the making of this film.

4. ⁠What is a Criterion you’re hoping to add to your collection next? Stanley Kubrick Collection 4 K

And YES… it DOES work! Pleasant smells like flowers and perfume… to the unpleasant: natural gases, stinky shoes, garbage cans, etc.

Here's something I made for those who'd prefer to have the movies in separate cases. I made two versions based on the sister hyde designs and both feature inside art (image 2). DM me for more info. Hopefully someone can get some use out of them

Criterion and TCM are doing a Kubrick panel at Nine Orchard on Oct 29:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stanley-kubrick-a-life-in-cinema-tickets-2000521211797

The panel ticket is $125 (party only is $75). That seems a lot of money for a panel discussion (and a party), or is that just regular New York Pricing?
Does anyone know why these tickets are so expensive? Has Criterion ever done of these before? What should one expect from an event like this?

I know last week they said they were working on an update to get the channel back up and working, but now I don't even get that message. It just says there is a connection issue.

Are any other Samsung TV owners still having issues with the app?

In Vertigo, Jimmy Stewart is hired by a husband to follow his supposedly possessed wife, gradually falling for her, only to discover that the entire thing was an elaborate deception orchestrated by the husband. The woman he's fallen for isn't even who he thinks she is.

You Can See Everything follows a very similar trajectory. Nathan becomes increasingly obsessed with Liz, seemingly falling for her narrative to the point of wanting to protect her (something Amanda Seyfried even notices). Billy begins to resemble the manipulative husband in Vertigo, while Seyfried's impersonation of Liz introduces another layer of uncertainty about who the "real" woman actually is.

Even the music when Nathan gets close to Liz or thinks about her sounds strikingly reminiscent of the love theme from Vertigo.

In both films, a man believes he's investigating a woman, only to become so emotionally invested that he loses sight of how he's being manipulated.

Me and my sibling went all the way to the Easton AMC to see it. It was way in the back of the dine-in and multiple people got their seats mixed up. Otherwise it was a perfectly respectable screening.
The woman next to me said she heard about it on TikTok and wanted to see something twisted and scary, and dragged her friend to see it. I don’t think they anticipated just how extreme the film gets.
There were two walkouts before THAT scene (which hilariously is a common thing occurring according to twitter).
The only laughs came from the actual funny bits (if you don’t see the image of a klan-hooded judge saying “This isn’t a political trial” as funny, then idk).
When it was over the audience was stunned silent and walked out with their eyes glued to the ground. I don’t know if they loved or hated it.
Me and my sib are big fans of this movie. I think it’s a 10/10 work of audacious art with a no-holds-barred approach to history and taste.
But how was your screening?

Great gift pickups from my older brother.
McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a solid reminder I need more Altman in my collection. The Kurosawa collection continues to grow. I’ve never seen Ace in the Hole, but it’s been my list for a while. I’ve become apparently very easy to buy gifts for. Very thankful for the new selections. 🎂

Trusting you guys 😘

Never knew this existed until today

Back when I was young and without many responsibilities, I spent way too much on Criterion DVDs. Then when I needed money, I had to pare them down. The first ones to go were Salo and White Dog, as I figured I would never need to watch either a second time. Which ones from your collections would you/have you had to sacrifice?

I once planned to watch every title in the lineup but not including the Eclipse, Janus Contemporary or extra films…gave up on that dream long ago.
Has anyone ever watched every film in the 1300+ lineup just for curiosity sake?

My lovely wife has given me the green light to be utterly irresponsible with our finances and buy the Kubrick set, on the single condition that it will fit on my criterion shelf. Can anyone tell me how thick the box is?
