Criterion Postcards & Booklets

[stalfyan]

just got a copy of hard boiled and it had what must have been the first catalog they made in it... it only has 11 titles listed haha...thought it was pretty cool

Noir booklet in Ace in the Hole.

I bought The Naked Prey in the DDD B1G1 sale and it didn't have a booklet in it... Emailed Mulvaney and got one in a couple days in the mail. =D>

I don't know if folks are still interested in these things or not, but I came across a Noir booklet and an Overlord postcard while cleaning today, and I'd happily toss them in the mail if someone wants 'em.

[edit] Contempt postcard has been claimed.

[Jean-Luc Garbo]

On Facebook, someone asked if CC would bring back the postcards and the response was that they'd "run it up the flagpole".

Let the 12 Angry Men rumors begin.

So are they still doing these? I haven't gotten one in a while.


I only have a few (Harlan County USA, House of Games, Fires on the Plain, Ugetsu, and Ivan's Childhood) - but I would really like one from Overlord and Robinson Crusoe...or any others really if people want to get rid of them. I'm thinking about doing a collage with them, so the more the merrier.

Is there anyone around with a few postcards they'd be willing to part with? PM me if so, and we'll make arrangements.

It seems I just got my first criterion postcard, and this one isn't mentioned on this topic I believe: Ivan's Childhood in Army of Shadows.

yay.

Anyone still trade these?

Every Criterion release I have seen was either lent or gifted to me, or I bought in a brick and mortar store, but never from Criterion directly.

I anticipate to make some purchases in the near future, but I was wondring if stickers, postcards in this instance, or any other promo items are generally thrown in with orders? Or is it usually just the discs and packslip?

Usually just the items you order and a packing slip.

[godardslave]

Do Criterion include postcards in blu ray releases?
I have not seen any for a while.

[Jeff]

no

[duck duck]

Saturnome, I have postcards for Army of Shadows, but not Ivan's Childhood.

The postcard exchange seemed to have stopped because the people interested in collecting the postcards already had the majority of the releases at the time and those who didn't didn't care about trading... and no one ever figured out a complete list of postcards. Also, there are postcards with removable bottom bits and the more recent were just post card shaped.

An interesting sidenote that I haven't seen mentioned yet: Criterion made a postcard for each film that screened at ATP Asbury Park last year. They were scattered randomly throughout the various venues, which made collecting them quite fun. I was fortunate to track down two complete sets and I even got Jeff Mangum to draw a sketch on one of my Blow Out post cards.
