I hope they aren't packaged together. I would like to see Happiness in the collection but Life During Wartime didn't impress me.

Nice one, it's the best name i've heard since Howard Hughes.

I know this is contrary to popular opinion, but I think
Life During Wartime is his best movie yet.

Is it true that if I rape you, I become you?

I never thought I'd see the day when a Todd Solondz film entered the collection. Considering Happiness is one of my favorite films of all time and I loved Life During Wartime, this is Christmas coming early.
Now bring on a Happiness bluray.

At least they've confirmed that it will be a set, so when it finally does arrive it will be an embarrassment of riches.

Me neither! Now I can die indifferent.

I wouldn't read too much into that choice of wording. The question they were responding to was actually: "Will you be kind enough to provide some information on your plan (if you have any) to release the world cinema foundation box set or any of those titles they restored?"

What makes you say that? I think it'd only make sense that they at least release a separate edition of
Happiness in July, the DVD edition is non-anamorphic and I doubt that Lions Gate was really holding onto it too tightly.

It's hard to be a pretentious dick on facebook, when people are posting about everything all the time. If you want to see pretentious dicks, read Criterion Forum. I love the Forum, and participate over there a bit, don't get me wrong, but the level of obnoxiousness is off the charts.
Now then Swo, where's that link to traitorforum.org?

Really? I thought that since they haven't even recorded the Q&A it would still take a while to wrap up the edition. Nice to hear that, nonetheless.

Congratulations, you have uncovered one of 73 aliases I use on Criterion's Facebook page. Your prize is an inane post lamenting the absence of Black Swan in the CC, dedicated in your honor.

That's a lovely photo for Blow Out but the people they borrowed the Murder à la Mod film elements from are going to be quite upset about the way that they have been handling the negative.

Agreed. That's no way to handle a negative. But it still probably isn't as bad as Facets.

Don't worry about it, it's clearly just the audio. They're both silent films anyway, right?
Uh oh...
