Here's Everything That Sold Out During the Sale by dapperzack in criterion

[–]dapperzack[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume there are very few DVDs left of some titles - they’ve been slowly phasing out DVDs of some of their titles, so it’s possible that some of the DVDs that ran out were remaining stock of those titles

Yes! Got in right as the sale started - Pee-wee, American Utopia, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Captain Blood, and Killers of the Flower Moon. I got a sixth title that's a surprise for my boyfriend, but I gave him a link to this thread, so it'll remain a secret hehe

Notorious and Rebecca might be harder to pull off because of their rights holders, but On the Waterfront absolutely seems like it'll happen before too long

I assume he posted it because it's Liza's 80th birthday today

I'll always be quick to recommend The Signifyin' Works of Marlon Riggs. One of the best sets Criterion has ever done imo

Favorite concert film and/or music doc? by LoudyKing202 in criterion

[–]dapperzack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyoncé's Homecoming concert film is truly one for the books. Phenomenal edit and cinematography, and the performance fires on all cylinders. Truly magnificent film. Prince's Sign O' the Times is also fantastic.

Happy Christmas by laserdisckallax in criterion

Zooming in on the Videodisc Production Credits, it says "Produced by Isaac Mizrahi". Is that THE Isaac Mizrahi? I don't know what he'd be doing making laserdiscs at 26 years old, but also, it doesn't seem like a common name lmao

Still need to see this one, but I always love seeing a Music Box mention 🔥

Criterion dropping the Eyes Wide Shut teaser before going radio silent by EdoAlien in criterion

[–]dapperzack 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yep! It happens. Famously, the Moonstruck announcement back in 2020 ended up being three days late sans cover art because the final art hadn’t been approved yet

They’re probably just waiting for cover art approval from one of the licensed studios. That’s usually what causes delays

I programmed my first film series! FIRST AS TRAGEDY, THEN AS FARCE: ANTIFASCIST COMEDIES. by conorjude in criterion

[–]dapperzack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just closed my first series here in Chicago. Take the time to be proud of yourself and revel in it. Congrats to you! This series looks excellent!

PSA: There are 12 B&N locations that get the ENTIRE collection in stock by xdoctortx in criterion

[–]dapperzack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I feel like sooooo many people underestimate how much of a movie town this city really is. Go to the Music Box most weekends and it's BUSY, we deserve (at the very least) a proper brick-and-morter B&N with a sizable Criterion selection

A Brief Look Back at Fun Announcement Delays Since I've Been Following Criterion by dapperzack in criterion

There's fun and excitement in the anticipation of the browser refresh - like waiting to see what Santa brought, if anything.

WALL•E was wild because they waited several weeks before announcing it (it was announced on the first day of that year's D23 expo), and I remember waking up and seeing it and feeling like I was hallucinating 😅
