Re: Something Wild coming from Criterion
Man, it seems like news for upcoming Criterion releases have getting leaked quite a bit more frequently as of late...

I found it mildly enjoyable, but definitely nothing that would reward repeat viewings. Melanie Griffith is really painful to listen to, as always. Great soundtrack though.

Day one, if its on Blu. I still have memories of seeing Melanie naked at such a tender age.

I can't watch the video at work, but did they specifically mention that it was the Demme one? If not, then it's likely to be this one:

It's never been released on any home formats, but it's been shown at the IFC film center, and Criterion has been releasing IFC films lately.

Great film with cult appeal. I'm not surprised at all that Criterion is releasing this. I only wish there was a better Soundtrack release as well, that includes all of the tracks featured in the movie.

I'm happy to hear people luke warm on this film, most places I see it get lawded to the heavens. I think it's really lop sided and it borrows too much from Blue Velvet.

My wallet always breathes a sigh of relief in those rare instances when a new Criterion title is not in the least tempting to me.....

i don't know how that can really be the case since it was released a few weeks after 'Blue Velvet.'
It's more of a piece with the yuppie guy gets mixed up with trouble vibe of 'After Hours' or 'Into The Night.' And those movies don't feature The Feelies.

They should listen to their fans. "Matinee." We all want that one to happen. "Something Wild" was a cool small film for a few years but no one cares much now.

Weird choice for Criterion. Not a fan of the movie at all, & never found Melanie even slightly hot. She is rather annoying and an awful actress.
