Sounds like I need to hit up Target. This thread is bad for my collecting tendencies.Gripweed posted:Man there's nothing worse than finding out a movie got a physical release but it's out of print and super expensive now. Coming back to this post because I just watched Linda Linda Linda last night and now I'm sad about this. drat!

Yeah finding out something is OOP sucks. I’d really like a copy of William Friedkin’s Jade but not for $150

I'm fine with that, as long as I can still buy little flash cards with 50GB versions of movies on them that I can plug into my TV or whatever. I get Blus for video quality and would really prefer they not take up so much space. I still like having something physical so I can browse through them and get inspired to watch something, though. Gimme something like this:

Will never understand how Grandma’s Boy didn’t get a Blu-ray release near BD’s launch. That’s the kind of movie that video quality nerds like!

There's no limit, but the Safdie bros pushed the limits of No Limits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSdxbBsShak I remember seeing someone else go ham in the closet but cannot find it to save my life. It's a huge advertisement for the CC, to have a big director or star agog for the collection, for the price of a few movies.

I recall Terry Gilliam leaving with the Bergman box and a whole tote of box sets. Then again, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was Criterion's best-selling DVD for years.

If I ever had the chance to go into the closet I would just start pulling stuff I never heard of and having nothing to say about it besides “oh I really want to see this”.

God i fuckin love Criterion. Can't afford it right now? Don't worry fam, it'll be here when you're ready. No fomo limited edition slipcover, or taking the booklet out, or whatever other bullshit other smaller labels have to do to move units by exploiting nerds' neurosis. That Jacques Tati collection came out in 2014 and I can buy the same exact edition today. Criterion also has great films. Everyone else has to swallow crap from the studios to get the good stuff, does Criterion have any crap? The aforementioned The Rock and Armageddon are from 25 years ago. That closet is all killer no filler. Much love to Arrow and Kino and all the others scrabbling to be king of the runners-up (and god drat have i given them plenty of love via money) but Criterion, you the man now dawg

I just bought the Criterion Persona set for $20 at my local thrift store. It's one of my friend's favorite movies, she'll flip when I give it to her. And that Godzilla set is a must-get for my partner, who will also flip. I mean, that'll wait 'til Christmas, but still. And eventually I'm gonna pick up Multiple Maniacs and House for myself. Thanks, Criterion!

If I ever get invited to the Criterion closet I'm gonna be that guy. You invited me in here, I shout as I sweep entire rows into my bag. I have their Godzilla set and it rules. Keep in mind it's like 14 inches tall, so it's honestly a great coffee table piece, or in my case it's displayed on top of my media shelf.

That reminds me, I need to continue working on the Bergman collection. Was going at a good pace, but fell behind on reading the essays after watching. I’m receiving my Way of Water 4K today. Can’t wait to throw it on and see some vibrant rear end colors compared to everything else these days. Also, Southland Tales. Super unimpressed and makes sense why it killed Kelly’s career. That being said, does reading the graphic novels help the movie? Or is it just a wild-rear end stew? It’s so loving 2005 in some ways that it hurts. A The Killers music piece? What the gently caress!?

Between the Arrow release, people’s positive mentions, and just the weird cast, I figured it couldn’t hurt. Did a blind buy years ago, but finally watched it yesterday. Maybe look into the graphic novels and see if your experience is better. Just threw on chapter 2 of Way of Water, makes me want to get the 3D version as well. I redeemed the MA code, who wants it for Disney Insider?
