Re: Criterion Film Club
I'm hoping so, since I'm the one that picked it. I wouldn't want to get things off to a lame start...

So I won't mention
Sorry, I'm evil today. But back on topic, I've been in the Criterion mood the last couple weeks and have watched a bunch of really good films.
Before the Rain was amazing, I might pick that if no one else does.

Maybe the OP can kind of guide that or move slots around to accomodate the Challenges here? I can't imagine people complaining about the order of their place in the queue.

Re: Criterion Film Club
There is no pecking order. People are detirmined by a random number generator, and then have an asterisk placed by their name so they won't get picked twice.

Re: Criterion Film Club
Is it bad that I've bought so many Criterions lately that I can't remember if I own George Washington or not?
...
Ok, just checked my DVD Profiler and apparently I do own it. Hmm...interesting.

Re: Criterion Film Club
I'm getting antsy I guess, about to watch week one's film, Empire of Passion, right now. Was going to wait until one day before the discussion starts, but what the heck. Love the menu shot.
Decided on thread titles yet? Maybe something like:
"Criterion Film Club Week 1, 8/17/09 - Empire of Passion"
Starting the thread a few days early may give it more exposure and get more people involved.

Kind of strange I started to watch "Empire of Passion" A few days ago before I read this post.
Only watch about the first 20 minutes or so,I will wait until Monday to finish it.:-))
Now George Washington is going to be hard to find.
We need a another Criterion sale.hint to DDD..

Re: Criterion Film Club
Ive made my choice. Hopefully everyone enjoys it and is as impressed as me with the film. It was a blind buy and I loved it. I'll wait for gg to list it for 8/21.

fwiw...two of the first choices for this are available at Amazon for $16.49 - The Ruling Class and This Sporting Life. Many can also get tRC from Columbia House.

Did I dream Criterions or did someone change their selection? I bought some titles in the queue and now one of them is missing.

Re: Criterion Film Club
Just noticed that through the first five weeks we already have two horror films selected, and neither slated for October and the long standing Horror Challenge.
Would it be possible to play with the slots to facilitate the challenges a bit better?
