also, just wanted to say, "Playtime" is an incredible movie and deserves the re-issue

....and I REALLLLY hope Criterion picks up Melville's "Army of Shadows"

playing here till thursday, i'm gonna try to catch it

this could be a good sign, The Big Risk played here and is now supposedly getting developed for release within a year or so

well, just let us know if it's got the Janus Films logo at the beginning. then it's pretty much a guarantee

That's good news. I've been wanting a good copy of Brazil for a while now, but the old Criterion edition just costs too much. I still have an old vhs bootleg copy, but I need to upgrade.

my sentiments exactly, although that $60 box is so damn tempting. i don't really care about a lot of the extras though, who the fuck cares about the edited 90 min version with a happy ending..... the new one is about 25 and only has teh one difinitive long ass sad version

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:06 pm

Four more on the way and for the first time ever, I don't think I care about any these movies, although I that's gotta be my fault, not Criterion's.

Probably the one that intrigues me the most.

And also Solo Con Tu Pareja by Alfonso Cuaron, but there's no art for that yet.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:25 pm

what's 'hands over the city'?

i found "last temptation of christ" in the used bin yesturday for less than 20. i don't think it's out of print but i've never actually seen a physical copy, i'm pretty psyched

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:28 pm

Some movie by Francisco Rosi about Rod Steiger as a politician. Never heard of it before today.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:35 pm

did you see anything about there being a criterion of the Big Risk (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052698/) or any of those new melvilles?

the big risk actually is up on amazon saying the dvd is coming soon, keeping fingers crossed

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:43 pm

From what I hear through the grapevine, it sounds like Army of Shadows might be out in the Spring. No idea about Classe Tous Risques, but it's a rialto release so... I can't remember if that bodes well or not.

Andvil · Post by **Andvil** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 8:36 pm

Army of Shadows is definitely coming out in '07.
Excited for the Francisco Rosi movie, and Jane Campion's last Criterion was really good, so Sweetie interests me.

Andvil, nice link. Never even seen that before. Oh uh, just cuz we're playing today, that wasn't sarcasm by the way.

Andvil · Post by **Andvil** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 1:20 pm

only posted that link because of the Rialto Pictures mention

Edit: oh, for some reason, even after you said you werent being sarcastic, I thought you were being sarcastic

either way
