Then there was this late last year...
Maybe you're right about the year of the pig... or we're getting Pasolini's PORCILE.

except for the twelve monkeys and seven seals, right?

I wish the newsletter would have explained why Christa Lang-Fuller was around. Is this for the rereleases of Shock Corridor and The Naked Kiss, or possibly the early films (which I assume will be Eclipse meaning no extras), or possibly White Dog? Or maybe all, or some unknown surprise. I want to know!

Concerning the contest, I came up with 17 Best Actor Oscar winners who are in the collection. Possibly 17 1/2, in a "kinda-sorta" situtation. Anybody find more?

I agree. That's the first one I was able to figure out on my own (assuming its correct) since Late Spring about a year ago.Ashirg wrote:Berlin Alexanderplatz.

I totally read zed's comment as "no meaning at all" or "completely random". I swear that's what It said originally. Maybe the fact that I haven't slept in three days impaired my view of it.

Its a boar, I read this a comparison to Fassbinder due to his on/off set behavior.
Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2007 1:13 pm
Maybe Fassbinder liked to get piggy.

I just saw someone came up with 21? Did that include best actress winners? I was wondering about that, since some use the term Actor in an androgynous sense, and then modify it by saying "Best Performance by a Female Actor," and "Best Performnace by a Male Actor" etc. I played it safe, and stuck with male actors, hence, eighteen. And, that does not include the laserdiscs. Shoot, I always forget about those!

Well, I just realized I forgot De Niro (Brazil) so that makes nineteen. Hmmmm. Even the seemingly simple contest winds up being so complicated!

It's been a poorly kept secret that Criterion has the rights to Fuller's The Baron of Arizona, I Shot Jesse James, and The Steel Helmet, and are waiting to release them (according to an e-mail from Jonathan Turell). Of course, whether these will be released as Criterions or as part of the Eclipse Line (or at all) remains to be seen.Derek Estes wrote:I wish the newsletter would have explained why Christa Lang-Fuller was around.

Those are the "early films" to which Derek was referring.Via_Chicago wrote:It's been a poorly kept secret that Criterion has the rights to Fuller's The Baron of Arizona, I Shot Jesse James, and The Steel HelmetDerek Estes wrote:I wish the newsletter would have explained why Christa Lang-Fuller was around.
