The quality of their restorations is almost always the best available, the special features are unmatched (though with the exception of the essay booklets, I rarely partake), and they're just really nicely packaged. You're a vinyl guy, right? Criterion is the movie equivalent. I have a ton of their blu-rays and when I sold my DVDs a while back, the only ones I kept were the Criterions and a couple film noir box sets. By the way, Barnes & Noble is offering 50% all Criterions right now, so you should grab it from them. I'm going to pick up a few things before the sale ends, myself; I just haven't been able to narrow it down to two or three movies, besides City Lights.

Speaking of Criterion, they announced today they'd be releasing Mulholland Drive in October. So we'll finally have the best movie of the past 25 years on blu-ray. Whoooo!
Thanks, TM. I don't pay much attention to extras myself, but a recent Malick film might warrant some. [expletive] the Malick haters. I'm not a movie guy at all, but for some reason his films hold my attention.

Beautiful looking.

WTF does 'Inspired by a True Story' mean? Couldn't I be thinking about the 1996 election and through a web of thoughts be inspired to write a story about a man who learns how to hack the vision of others?

Trainwreck was really funny. Lebron was really good in it. Would recommend.

Watched "Get Carter" off of TCM.

1970s England sure did have a lot of outhouses.
