I guess titling a theme "Starring Courtney Love" gives cover for not including Kurt & Courtney.

An "LGBTQ favorites" theme and a "Weddings" theme in the same month but no The Wedding Banquet?

...and perhaps the most glaring of all, "Alex Cox's Punk Provocations" without Sid & Nancy?

Did Criterion forget to mention that as part of their Bond program they also were able to include the “banned” commentaries from their first LD pressing?

I was pleasantly surprised to see them on the channel in the “Out of Print Criterion Editions” section last night. I had never heard them in full but can’t wait to check them out this upcoming weekend.

UFOria and Twister (1989) with Harry Dean Stanton would’ve been nice, but I can’t complain much with Kino’s 4K out

Okay, I'm really delighted to see The Prisoner in the July lineup. I'm very sure it's a coincidence, but I wrote their suggestion box not very long ago to say that The Prisoner might fit very well in the collection's growing lineup of limited TV series, especially since it seems to have been neglected on the US side in recent years.

I think it has popped up on a number of free streaming services in North America, including Kanopy and Hoopla
