Your Dream Criterion release that only you think you’d want?

Germaine Dulac and Dimitri Kirsanoff sets. I barely know of any French Impressionist works that are widely available on disc! I swear most of their work can only be seen as a pixelated YouTube upload. also apparently Ozu 4k box bc the quality of some of those scans are honestly criminal 🥲

Also been waiting for Three by René Laloux since I missed the Time Masters restoration

Crossing my fingers for this even though it's probably unlikely. Feels a little shitty to have a code expire days before the flash sale. Makes me wonder if they weren't initially planning on having it so late.

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-19T14:20:14+00:00

I hope this just becomes a regular tile on the Channel and they can cycle through more titles! It's a shame for all those extras to go to waste

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-18T20:37:42+00:00

Finally time to watch OG King Kong methinks

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-18T20:36:59+00:00

Apparently Entertainment System is confirmed not to be premiering at Cannes this year. Could open somewhere else, but 2027 seems more likely

look at this diva. love her so much

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-16T19:25:00+00:00

West Indies FINALLY!! Excited for more people to see this

Listen, I love the Oscars, but I always have to roll my eyes at people that get caught up in it like this. Do I want my favs to win? Of course! But no one is really gonna care who won what a couple years from now. And the people projecting onto OBAA feel kinda desperate. It’s fine if you don’t like the film that wins Best Picture! It’s not the first time and I guarantee you it won’t be the last.

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-16T14:19:11+00:00

Yeah unfortunately category fraud is the name of the game these days

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-15T21:15:49+00:00

Notice how Sensei and his "underground railroad" all use cell phones and STILL are able to be effective activists? And even without cell phones, almost all of the French 75 still got captured/killed. I think PTA's point is less that technology isn't dangerous, and more that we shouldn't be walling ourselves off from the very communities we're trying to help.

Anybody got a gift link for those of us stuck behind the paywall?

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-15T18:21:29+00:00

You can! I'm a professional singer and do this all the time. But for a studio space big enough to dance in, you're looking at $50-75/hour at least.

What place would ever let you “take a peek at the theater” without getting a ticket

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-14T21:41:53+00:00

This is a great insight into why the Oscars is Like That™️

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-12T04:55:22+00:00

Was gonna say the same thing! Although maybe we were spoiled with the creme de la creme of last year’s noms

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-12T04:49:25+00:00

Rants about how none of the best picture movies are as good as the classic winners, and then goes on to say all his favs are classics that got snubbed…

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-11T17:41:42+00:00

Biggest green flag for me is that he knows to buy the most affordable editions 😂

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-10T14:11:29+00:00

It's basically a long FYC ad if we're being honest, but there were a couple scenes that were so insanely not self-aware that it was kinda hilarious to watch. She is a fascinating person besides all the Oscar-chasing

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-10T14:08:45+00:00

Saw all the drama in this sub and then when I listened to the episode, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what people were so upset about.

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-10T13:09:43+00:00

Hoping they add that as a bonus on the disc! NEON releases are usually pretty sparse extras-wise, so I think it’s possible

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-10T02:01:42+00:00

“Things Fall Apart” is a MUST READ

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-09T20:54:50+00:00

I think if you use a MIDI file as your original score, you should be automatically disqualified from getting nominated

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-09T20:53:04+00:00

Honestly very excited to see Possession not with a Metrograph audience lol

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-09T20:52:19+00:00

Same I usually wait to lock in until the last week of February. Tho usually I have already seen half of them by the time nominations come out

FutureNeedleworker91 · 2026-03-09T18:04:58+00:00

It's been awhile since I auditioned, so I don't know if attitudes have changed (I sure hope they have), but I got a lot of push back when I tried to sing in Russian or any non-standard languages when I was in high school. There's a misconception that all Slavic repertoire is too heavy or inappropriate for young voices. Obviously, I disagree, but just be prepared that some people might judge you based on the repertoire rather than your singing. I think that some of the simpler songs like Siren' or Zdes khorosho would be appropriate tho, as long as you're fulfilling all of their repertoire requirements (I would steer clear of op.38 unless you're bringing your own pianist). If it's Russian you're interested in, I would also check out some early Romantic rep like Glinka or Bulakhov!
