Eh, I used credit so looking forward to it. Never saw PJ. The other 2 I loved. Even Baby Boy, though I think it’s forgotten in his body of work. So hard to believe he’s no longer with us.

Some day OldBoy's Amazon credit is going to run out and I just hope I'm there to see it.

why?

Besides the fact that your seemingly endless supply of credit is a point of fascination for many of us here (thanks in no small part to threads on the topic that you yourself have started), if I live to see the end, it probably means I have lived a long and (hopefully) happy life.

Also, it was a joke.

fair enough. but, just to be clear, i talked about it but never boasted about it.

No one said you did.

Eiza Gonzalez

She’s in the new Guy Ritchie movie out this week called “In the Grey”

Some good knowledge and she isn’t greedy, only took 6 titles.

And yes she’s stunning 😍

Is there a date for K-Pop Demon Hunters? Amazon keeps saying 12/31/26.

She also has a part in this weeks I Love Boosters. Two movies in theaters at the same time but honestly no one is going to make a trip to see them.

No, because Criterion hasn't formally announced it yet.

August titles, from their email announcement:

Little Odessa rules. And on 4K. Hell yes!

0/6 for me.





Although The Emperor's Naked Army sounds...intriguing

25 year gap between the original Coup de torchon Criterion DVD and the upcoming re-release.
Definitely one of their longest gaps.

That’s a phenomenal documentary! I’ve only seen two of the five in this set, but that one in particular made me want to see a lot more of his work, which hasn’t always been easy to find so I might look into this set in a sale some day. I recall randomly spotting an old Facets Video DVD of it at the library here several years back and thought it simply looked interesting, but man, I was not prepared for just how batshit relentless the main subject is, and how twisty and often wrenching the film itself is. The guy was basically right about what he was trying to do, but his methods were insanely confrontational, probably illegal in some cases, and at times verifiably nuts. But in a country that – at the time, and probably still – had a serious aversion to ‘remembering’ what it did both before and during the war, you can’t stop thinking about the brutality that led him to be this way. And then his own, uhh, complicated past adds a whole other layer! I’ve rarely seen such a powerful yet troubling depiction of atonement in documentary form like this. There are all sorts of long-form reviews of it online and on YouTube, pretty much all based off the Facets disc, so I suspect there will be a whole new round once this set comes out.

Personally, I think the film is worthy of its own release in the regular Criterion line, especially as there’s a lot of known behind-the-scenes anecdotes and material available that could be presented by a historian or whomever in more than just a sleeve essay or booklet can whatever these Eclipse sets come with now. Second Run put out a standalone Blu-ray in the UK several years ago that included an interview with Hara himself, and he’s still around today.

I’ll pick up Safe. Todd Haynes best.

One and only thing I share with Eiza Gonzalez we both own Midnight Cowboy on Blu-ray.

I'll get Coup De Torchon, being the Jim Thompson completist that I am. As far as Safe is concerned, that's one of those movies that I'm more than happy with the Blu-ray.
