Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Spitballing an idea here: Doesn't Nixon have a very similar bank of monitors in his office in Secret Honor? He watches security camera feeds on it a few times. Maybe the picture's a hint for a blu-upgrade on announcement day?

Interesting to me that three of these four have Blu-rays... Maybe it's an oblique hint that La Strada is getting an upgrade.

John Waters and Angela Lansbury on Instagram. Just for kicks? Or something weird and wonderful in the works?

I'm sure Angela is there to film an interview for The Manchurian Candidate and, I hope, John was recruited to provide commentary for the upcoming release of either Bergman's Brink of Life or Losey's Boom!.

Or maybe they decided to pick up Pink Flamingos and/or Polyester from Warner since they were both Criterion laserdiscs?
Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
WB Shop still has Pink Flamingos in print and for sale, so I doubt it's that one.CSM126 wrote:Or maybe they decided to pick up Pink Flamingos and/or Polyester from Warner since they were both Criterion laserdiscs?

I'd say its likely the former laserdisc titles.
Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
I wonder if this is for "Something for Everyone." Talk about a long-overlooked OOP film, I can see Waters interested in it.
Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Ah, you're right! I assumed that all the Criterion-licensed WB titles went OOP, due to that list of OOP titles that surfaced last November.Minkin wrote:Doesn't mean a thing!criterion10 wrote:WB Shop still has Pink Flamingos in print and for sale, so I doubt it's that one.CSM126 wrote:Or maybe they decided to pick up Pink Flamingos and/or Polyester from Warner since they were both Criterion laserdiscs?

You know, Serial Mom is curiously missing a Blu-ray edition and the Criterion Collection is curiously missing a film featuring Matthew Lillard.

Gaspar Noe's Irreversible gets a specific shout-out on twitter:
"With IRREVERSIBLE, it’s a movie with stars, & from that moment on, you know it’s all fake." http://ow.ly/UTXHQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
If Criterion release Irreversible, then Border Radio is officially dethroned as the worst piece of shit in the entire collection. Seul Contre Tous would be a far better choice, not least because it's the only decent film Noe's ever made.

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Christmas Evil is great (and makes a fun double bill with Serial Mom, as they both involve people desperately trying to maintain a sense of order which people in the 'real world' don't seem to value!) although Waters is slightly under-selling the ending in which the creepy murderous Santa doesn't exactly ride off in "his sleigh", butFrauBlucher wrote:From twitter:
More John Waters at the Criterion offices.

drives off in his beaten up old serial killer van (albeit with a sleigh picture on the side!), swerves to avoid a crowd of angry torch wielding villagers and magically drives the van off into the air, in an ending that weirdly anticipates the climax of Thelma & Louise!

"The always entertaining Paul Morrissey stopped by today with some vintage publicity material in tow."
This is a link to an instagram post, but it's worth noting that the same post on twitter has the Andy Warhol Museum tagged.

This must assuredly be related to at least one of his four films that are with Westchester (and since someone will respond back with "but Shout.." - they have a streaming media deal with Westchester, which as of yet hasn't had any impact on physical media, thus Criterion would have likely gone after the rights - and most likely did before Shout entered the picture).gorgeousnothings wrote:"The always entertaining Paul Morrissey stopped by today with some vintage publicity material in tow."

So the possible films would be:
Blood for Dracula
Flesh for Frankenstein
Trash

Dracula and Frankenstein seem like obvious picks given they've been out of print so long. Perhaps they might even issue Frankenstein in a 3D blu ray combo?

Morrissey controls the home video rights to most of his Warhol-affiliated films: Flesh, Heat, Trash, Women in Revolt and the Dracula/Frankenstein duo; at least he made the previous distribution deal with Image on his own behalf (Westchester has TV, streaming and maybe non-theatrical rights to the films).ShempTCat wrote:Minkin wrote:This must assuredly be related to at least one of his four films that are with Westchester (and since someone will respond back with "but Shout.." - they have a streaming media deal with Westchester, which as of yet hasn't had any impact on physical media, thus Criterion would have likely gone after the rights - and most likely did before Shout entered the picture).gorgeousnothings wrote:"The always entertaining Paul Morrissey stopped by today with some vintage publicity material in tow."

Oh I also forgot to mention that Criterion tagged Joe Dallesandro in a followup tweet. Joe seems to be tweeting about Trash lately.
