Great timing! I just wrote a short piece on Valerie and Her Week of Wonders a few hours ago for a new philosophy and film blog that I'm starting.

Is Barbarella the only likely Terry Southern film Criterion could get? I honestly have no idea, just asking.ptatler wrote:Going way out on a limb: BARBARELLA? She has often expressed her love of Terry Southern.Fran Lebowitz asks some great questions.
I see several options for Frannie being interviewed:
1) possibly in connection for a piece on Andy Warhol, either documentary about him or the Factory or in connection with the long-suffering, festering Midnight Cowboy specter. We will not be able to put that one to rest until Kim says "hell no" at the Wexner Center talks some day.
2) There is also the documentary Paris Is Burning which many others here on the forum and elsewhere claim could be forthcoming from Criterion. I have heard nothing, but this would be a possible interview for that potential release.
3) Finally! The real oddball guess: Norman Lear's pre-All in the Family feature film Cold Turkey. Fran is a longtime outspoken advocate for pro-smokers' rights and the entire point of Cold Turkey is smokers. There was the infamous list from Mister Lime last year which talked of many films forthcoming from Twilight Time, Shout, Kino and Criterion, and this film, Cold Turkey was on that list. I doubt this is it, but it could be a fun interview if this is the case!

Barbarella was floated as a possibility for the armed woman in the New Year's drawing that some thought was Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Criterion just posted a picture of a Lee Marvin film. Does anyone know what it is?

Definitely The Killers. First comparison on the DVDBeaver page confirms it.

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Given that Barbarella is already out on blu-ray & not that great of a film, I'd say The Loved One is more likely.britcom68 wrote:Is Barbarella the only likely Terry Southern film Criterion could get? I honestly have no idea, just asking.!

The Terry Southern talk was the result of me drawing a long speculative bow from the Fran Lebowitz image Criterion posted (which turned out to be from MASTER BUILDER extras).britcom68 wrote:Is Barbarella the only likely Terry Southern film Criterion could get?

Fabrizio Rongione on Instagram. Two Days One Night should show up in the next couple months.

Just watched ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS for the first time last week and that is the film I thought this still was from, so I'm glad to see someone else shares my suspicions!swo17 wrote:Looks like Rocco forgot to eat his breakfast.
Did we have any idea this was coming? This is a major coup for Criterion and certainly one of the most major works they will have on the docket in the foreseeable future. Incredibly exciting!

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Like La Dolce Vita it's a major title by a director whom Criterion has already released several titles.....and the rights for which seem to have fallen into limbo, as the respective DVDs hadn't been upgraded in over a decade.....and of course there was that double clue (b&w shot of Alain Delon in Sans Soleil), not to mention it's one of the more requested titles in their Facebook comments.Jgh8xxx wrote: Did we have any idea this was coming?

Criterion posted a new Instagram photo of Carroll Ballard, leading me to question what in the world they are working on.
Someone over on the Blu-ray forums speculated Wind.
Surely, it isn't Fly Away Home. I like that film a lot, but it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the collection.

Perhaps they're releasing a set of USIA documentaries.RSTooley wrote:Criterion posted a new Instagram photo of Carroll Ballard, leading me to question what in the world they are working on.

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Ballard would be an interesting interviewee for the long-rumored Robert Flaherty docs.
Never Cry Wolf is enjoyable but I can't see it entering the collection somehow.

Is there any chance they've acquired The Black Stallion?
Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
Possibly... Scott Foundas tweeted on April 5th, "The fusion of image, sound, nature in the (nearly silent) first hour of Ballard's THE BLACK STALLION is staggering, Malick-level stuff."sir_luke wrote:Is there any chance they've acquired The Black Stallion?

This seems strong possibility as Never Cry Wolf owes a great deal to Flaherty.britcom68 wrote:Ballard would be an interesting interviewee for the long-rumored Robert Flaherty docs.
