Evidently the people who complain about fully-loaded 2-disc special editions of classic foreign films that sell for only $26 are people who never bought laserdiscs.
Even at full retail, it's a bargain for what you get.

I just figured it out...ProfessorEcho is so named because he loves to hear himself talk!! And say the SAME THING over, and over, and over, and over, and over......and yet, it remains pointless?
You go ahead and "call them like you see them" PE.....and we'll continue to do the same. But don't get your panties all in a bunch when we all point out the silliness that is your argument - or lack thereof.

And while I'll admit I found the Criterions arousing, there was definitely no "rubbernecking". There was a happy ending though, if you know what I mean..

I don't understand how criterion is reaching the "average" DVD buyers with Armagedon and The Rock. I have considered buying them for some time and will probally buy over the internet but even when looking in any average store selling DVD's I can't find them. All you find is the one disc edition. What they do reach people with (and as many people has said) is with Chasing Amy and The Royal Ten. becuase those films are at every store.

f--k with Criterion. That's truly pathetic. But mob mentality won't scare me or intimidate me from posting. I'll continue to call 'em as I see 'em and I'm on these boards to stay. Have a nice day.

No one hate's Bay's films more than I do. But in the end, I see Criterion putting out films the way the director intended, putting out nice discs, and never once have I seen "THE ACTION EVENT OF THE YEAR - John Banner, the tulsa review" on the cover.
That overrides the fact that there's a few shitty movies that go against their mission statement. To me anyways. That said, I only own about 4 Criterions.

Same goes for Target.
