Here are my criterions
Seven Samurai
Straw Dogs
Chasing Amy
im going tommorrow to get Brazil and maybe Life Aquatic & Royal Tenenbaums
Why are you putting your money on crappy old discs? The new editions will be released in a few weeks.
Okay, I know Criterion already has a Kurasawa set but come on, there’s only 4 fuckin’ movies on it.
They need to release an ultimate set, like the Kubrick set a few years back but with the criterion features.
I think 2 sets would do it.
Set 1
Kurasawa’s Samurai tales
Rashomon 50
Seven Samurai 54
Throne of blood 57
The Hidden Fortress 58
Yojimbo 61
Sanjuro 62
Red beard 65
Kagemusha 80
Ran 85
Dreams 92?
Set 2
Kurasawa’s Non samuria
Stray Dog 49
Ikiru 52
The Bad Sleep Well 60
High and Low 63
The Lower Depths (maybe)
The first set should be 100 to 120 dollars. basically affordable. The second 50 or 60.
Who’s with me? All of his films should be in a large set like this, I mean come on he’s one of the most important directors of the 20th century, and the only set there is is four movies? Since Criterion has the rights for all these movies they should offer all of them together. Hitchcock’s got 2 sets like this out currently, that’s because different studios own the properties.
man Im just waiting for criterion to put out their cult label, Anybody heard any news about that yet?
The new Seven Samurai in comparison. As expected, the picture quality is miles ahead of the old release

^THought you got Dazed & Confused?
No I never bought it. I was going to, but I reconsidered since I see the film on TV so much. Plus, I saw one of the docs about the film on AMC. I’m not spending all that $$ for it. I love the film, but its not a DVD I really need.
I wanna buy the Do the Right Thing Criterion but it’s 60 dollars here in Canada. But Criterions are expensive anyways, what am I to expect?
Just thought I would tell everybody that alot of criterion movies are coming on IFC for those who get the channel.

Janus will be releasing 50 films In one boxset. 50 discs In all, It Is set to be released october 24th.
Isn’t “Pandora’s Box” a little “old hat”? I mean, hasn’t it been used as a name for box sets somewhere around fifty times?
Sanjuro And Yojimbo gets released in January.

Forty bucks…it looks like it is worth it, if you don’t already have them.
Got great news for those who have been dying to see salo but dont want to pay $500 or more for them well dont you worryabout it anymore Criterion has re-newed the rights for salo and it will be out sometime in 2007,also its in HD.
I bet those guys who bought the movie for $1,000 dollars feel dumb.
^^^ YOU SAVED MY LIFE! lol…
It’s 10 euros here… Not Criterion, though.
