Re: Criterion Film Club

The Barnes And Noble 50% off Criterion sale has started. Using membership and coupons, you can buy every Criterion DVD and BD for around 68% off. See this thread for details.

Re: Criterion Film Club

Just picked up the current selection for $8.50. Hope to watch it tonight and join the discussion.

Re: Criterion Film Club

Could use some more selections. Anyone else that wants to submit a film for the schedule, feel free to do so. Just post here or send me a PM.

And a reminder that the club is sponsored by DVD Empire, they have the upcoming films on sale for us here:

Re: Criterion Film Club

Just a bump to remind people that the current six discussions could use some more discussion. Here's the schedule thread with links to each of the six films.

Re: Criterion Film Club

I'm not sure how I missed jdpatri's post.
What do you guys think about Berlin Alexanderplatz? I'm thinking the length of it may not be ideal for this, but if you guys disagree I will go ahead and add it. Otherwise I will just use your second choice.

Re: Criterion Film Club

I think it might be a bit too long for this fledgling endeavor. It was previously mentioned as a sort of optional monthly bonus pick, to supplement the four weekly titles. Perhaps once we grow into a busy weekly thread club then we can bring that idea back up.

We can barely get five people to comment on a 90 minute film right now, I doubt a 15 hour mini-series would get much activity.

Only probably if it's done in stages rather than all at once. Maybe then we wouldn't everyone immediately. I need some kind of cattle prod to watch this thing. I really want to watch it... I just don't.

But I'm cool with going to a next choice.

You could use the upcoming Make-Your-Own-Challenge, or the Criterion Challenge as kicks-in-the-butt.

I'm thinking of of doing it and a couple other long mini-series as my Make-Your-Own-Challenge items, I think it is set for May.

Fanny and Alexander and Roots are my other considerations.

Re: Criterion Film Club

Also, hah, I never knew we actually started this up last year. I was still waiting to hear about it. I don't know how I missed that schedule. I just put up a comment on one of the films I just happened to watch this past month. I'll try to catch up on the others I haven't seen.
