"I Remember" has GOT to be Fellini. (I could also go for Lola Montes, though.)

Max Ophuls is far overdue. I wouldn't be surprised even though I don't know the reference.

Someone described Constantine as "the Matrix with swarming demons instead of swarming robots." It is therefore CONSTANTINE. Move over Michael Bay!

Crap, and here I was thinking of haikus all day at work. Thanks a lot, Elpenor. My haikus are going to seem tame and so second rate now. 
Ingrid Bergman, oh!
Where could your left shoulder be?
So Notorious
Grandma from Yi Yi
Please don't take out the garbage
It can wait a day
Poison-pen writer
Put down that Linklater film
Your wife's my lover
Shakespeare means much
To Laurence, to Harold Bloom --
Not the Rushmore guy
Kubrick's Spartacus:
Only one with a number.
Where's the love, Becker?
An Ozu Late Spring...!
I fill my pants with warm waste
A girl points and cries
Donald Richie-san
Sexual Liberator
Balthazar Lover
And finally, a tribute to my handle.
Paper lanterns float
An American flag waves
Here comes The Cat Bus

Here's my first two:
Slow zooms, ensembles,
Overlapping dialogue.
I need more Altman!
Numbered collection?
An OCD overdrive
Gotta catch em all!

Just thought of some more:
Over three hundred
Yet still no Bottle Rocket.
Becker a crack fiend?
Alphaville, Contempt,
A Woman Is A Woman.
No spine for Breathless.
Tears flow down my face:
Reversed shots in Jules et Jim.
No fix forthcoming?
Dreyer reads e-mail:
"Gertrud is in OAR"
And rolls in his grave.
Reissue Brazil
In anamorphic widescreen
My first child is yours
Wacky animal
Says "new look new line this fall"
An Eclipse coming?
How to organize?
Alphabet or spine number?
Eternal question.
Each weekend I scour
Pawn shops, used bookstores for a
Good deal on Doinel.

I wonder if Criterion will ever live down asking Richie to read piles of complaints and in-jokes about their company in the form of haiku.

Equinox in June?

The person who really deserves your sympathy is the hapless intern who's going to have to sort through all the haiku and weed out the complaining ones so Richie doesn't have to be bothered with them.Gregory wrote:I wonder if Criterion will ever live down asking Richie to read piles of complaints and in-jokes about their company in the form of haiku.

From my buddy who's a big Sturges fan:
Christmas in Late Spring?
It is not the translation
It is the futon!

Pull a ship through the

Hey Criterion
Give me a free DVD!
Late Spring should be mine.
Not sure the aggressive tone will go down well.

Can anyone provide me with this most recent newsletter? I signed up on the site after it came out, and it didn't come to me. Usually someone posts a link here, but I don't see one for this one.
Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 4:05 pm
It may not be archived on the criterion website yet, which is strange since it usually is right away. I noticed this last week. Maybe it has something to do with the contest.

Backwards drag racing
Steve McQueen -- world's oldest teen
Beware of The Blob
White-faced phantoms and
Creepy church organ music
Carnival of Souls
Flying brains arise
In your stop-motion fury
Fiend Without a Face
Satanic rangers,
Monsters, runes, hidden castles
Equinox - at last!
