Do they ever list posters for sale on their website? I know they used to and I would be tempted to order that Seven Samurai if offered.

They have done that for some in the past, but they don't seem to currently have any for sale.

I recently bought the 4k re-release poster for Melville's Le Samourai. It was available exclusively at posteritati.com. I have no idea if they will carry Seven Samurai there (it's not there now), but it's probably worth keeping an eye on.

It’s about g-damn time!

From Criterion in September:







All in UHD (except for Totally F***ed Up in the Araki collection).

I still have Happiness on DVD. Should be a worthwhile upgrade.

Repo Man and that Araki set, FTW!

All of Us Strangers... another Disney owned title. Let's get more Searchlight titles in the collection.

Araki Trilogy & Happiness

With the exception of Happiness, that's some ugly-ass artwork.

I don't know if I ever need to see Happiness again. Damn that's some dark shit. Props to Dylan Baker and Phillip Seymour Hoffman for even being willing to play such slimy people.

Yeah, saw Happiness in the theater back when it first came out... there are few movies that I think are good, that I never want to see again, and that's one of them!
(Piano Teacher is another)

I saw Happiness in the theater as well and literally all I remember about it is the very last scene. I couldn't even begin to tell you what it's even about. Maybe I blocked it from my memory? Now I'm kind of curious.

It's just an all-around feel good movie. Something the whole family can enjoy.

Whoa, that’s nice that Gummo and Happiness are both getting 4K releases. Neither have been available on streaming or digital and the only prior releases are ancient DVDs.

I just got an ancient release of Gummo today. That’s so funny. Going along with Kids, Ken Park, Bully and now this. I’m psyched I don’t have to watch my dvd version of Gummo.

I just saw that Mother is coming to Criterion, though not in 4K. I love Albert Brooks and man, Mother is one of his best.

It's being released on Blu-ray and UHD.

Sorry, I'm not sure why I wrote that because I know it's in UHD. What I was thinking about was that as a preorder it doesn't look like there is any or much of a discount for the sale, unless I'm missing something.

Gummo

I feel like a Gummo gatekeeper. I don't *want* the normies to experience it!

It doesn’t come out during the current sale, so it wont be 50% off until the October flash sale / November B&N sale.

Janus Films posted the trailer earlier today for the restoration of TIME MASTERS (1988), directed by Rene Laloux (FANTASTIC PLANET) and co-written by Laloux and Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud, from the novel by FP author Stefan Wul. It plays theatrically this summer but hopefully that means a disc release down the road:

Maybe the easiest assignment ever 😄

I like a lot of dark, strange, and boundary pushing films (I never miss a Von Trier film..) but I have the most normie take on Gummo ever. The only time I watched it I started reacting like I was my Aunt Susan 5 minutes in.
