Re: 2013 Criterion Forum Awards
I'd like to change my vote to "Whatever the guy before me said"

Maybe instead of eliminating this category next time it could be changed to Best Booklet, which make it easier to get a single winner and would still celebrate Criterion's printed matter.

Re: 2013 Criterion Forum Awards
Either this or a shortlist of ten essays to choose from, assuming people really want this to go forward. It was an absurd category to compile, and there were like twenty-plus different choices and probably half of those got two votes tops with no consensus above that whatsoever. Halfway though I just about gave up counting the category since it was clear it wouldn't be solidifying into anything (but I didn't in case I ever get tally-audited!)Gregory wrote:Maybe instead of eliminating this category next time it could be changed to Best Booklet, which make it easier to get a single winner and would still celebrate Criterion's printed matter.

Best Booklet sounds like the best idea.

Re: 2013 Criterion Forum Awards
Were there any book-sized booklets this year? A little disappointed that Criterion seems to have moved away from printed materials in recent years. I'm part of what I'm guessing is a small minority who prefers to read about films on the move or outside of home than spend time at home watching supplements that could be spent, y'know, watching movies.swo17 wrote:Best Booklet sounds like the best idea.
One of the many reasons I prefer MoC at this point too.

Well, Zatoichi definitely had one off the top of my head, and I think Shoah, Nashville, and On the Waterfront had fairly substantial booklets.

And Bergman / Rossellini, and the WCF set. I think 'best booklet' is a much better option than hoping that a bunch of meteorites all hit exactly the same spot.jindianajonz wrote:Well, Zatoichi definitely had one off the top of my head, and I think Shoah, Nashville, and On the Waterfront had fairly substantial booklets.

As did Rossellini/Bergman. The Etaix one was fairly short but had a lot of good information and vintage images.

Nobody else assayed the Etaix essay?

Babette's Feast also had a nice thick booklet.
