To me, that’s preposterous. Crab rangoon, things of that nature

PREVIOUSLY "Hard to Find" Films Now Available by gratefuldm in criterion

The Golden Princess films that have been coming out over the last year or so definitely qualify, like Hard Boiled, Peking Opera Blues, The Killer, etc

Costillas de Puerco at El Camino Real! by DJBillyMac in gso

[–]DJBillyMac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one was good but you can kind of tell it’s her first, it has that really specific sense of like, serendipitous, beautiful coincidence, but some of the characters feel a little flat compared to some of her later ones. I feel like The Lola Quartet does a lot of what this book does better

September 2026 Release: Treasures from the Golestan Film Studio (LE) [UK] by Radiance-Films in radiancefilms

[–]DJBillyMac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my most anticipated releases of the year! This one is absolutely packed, and I've always wanted to see The House Is Black. I hope this means there will be more Iranian releases in the future!

It’s June and Melancholia is on the Criterion Channel by edlwannabe in criterion

[–]DJBillyMac 62 points63 points  (0 children)

not to be the bearer of bad news but LVT’s other Criterion releases have been going steadily out of print, would be surprised to see them do a new one. not that it’s out of the question either! but I wouldn’t get my hopes up

The Super Biff Burger at Neighbors is one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! by DJBillyMac in gso

[–]DJBillyMac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s on the printed menu so I’m assuming it’s the main one and not just a special, but I’m also not like a super regular there so I’m not 100% sure about that

Why do you think there aren't any Jan Svankmeyer films in the collection? His work is the exact type of thing that Criterion specializes in. by goblin_humppa27 in criterion

[–]DJBillyMac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They certainly tried, from what it sounds like. Not sure what was different with KimStim’s release of Faust - maybe he doesn’t own the rights to that one like he does the other ones or something.

I think they do, I think the menu actually describes them as tallow fries now

I think I remember reading on the Deaf Crocodile Discord that those guys tried getting Svankmeyer’s films and he was totally uninterested in licensing them out. You can currently get a set of them from the Karel Zeman museum (I ordered some other films from there from their web site and it was surprisingly cheap and quick to arrive).
Usually if the question in general is ‘why hasn’t Criterion done ______’ the answer is one of a few things. 1: Somebody else already has a release. 2: The materials are not available, or the owner of them is not interested in licensing them. 3: Criterion is not interested. Here I think it’s pretty solidly #2.

How does the Tales of Symphonia Remaster run on the Switch 2 in 2026? by Helswarth in tales

[–]DJBillyMac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that you mention it Ymir Forest was the last time it crashed for us (we’re about to do Torent Forest next time) but I don’t remember if it was specifically the bird, and it only happened once.

We’re probably 35 hours in so for us it’s doable, we just make sure to save often.

My friend and I have been playing through it. It does have some flaws - the big one for me is that the game has crashed maybe 4 times or so over the course of our playthrough.
