September 24, 20251 yr Saw there’s a New Avengers box set coming, including commentaries with Gareth Hunt and Joanna Lumley on some.
September 27, 20251 yr I swear Kino Lorber wants to bankrupt me! I just ordered Sugar Hill, a 70s exploitation revenge film featuring the mob, a nightclub and voodoo zombies! If only the Wesley Snipes movie of the same name had voodoo zombies in it... oh wait it did have mid-1990s Abe Vigoda in it so close enough! I can hardly wait! James
September 29, 20251 yr 70s Sugar Hill is a great, underrated movie. Might have to pick up the KL release.

October 22, 2025Oct 22 I rarely have the opportunity to get in on these Criterion flash sales due to shipping costs to Canada, but this time around I have a trusty border crossing courier! I also had accumulated $65(!!!) in credit just from being a Channel subscriber. Here's my purchase list: I Am Cuba (Kalatozov) Letter Never Sent (Kalatozov) Inland Empire (Lynch) Lost Highway (Lynch) David Lynch: The Art Life Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (Almodovar) Stalker (Tarkovsky) A Man Escaped (Bresson) These are some of my favorite movies of all time, and titles I'd been wanting to grab for years now in some cases. So stoked to spend some time with each of these beautiful packages. Who else is getting in on this sale? Edited October 22, 2025Oct 22 by HarryArchieGus

October 30, 2025Oct 30 I finally got around to picking up Band of Outsiders/Bande à part in the flash sale. Only had the most recent credit coupon left so that was enough for me given all my current circumstances.
October 30, 2025Oct 30 I ended up buying All We Imagine As Light, The Shrouds, Vermiglio, Misericordia, and Flow during the flash sale for less than $100.
November 8, 2025Nov 8 Well, Barnes & Noble 50% off Criterion sale started. The damage from yesterday: Uncut Gems 4K, Shoeshine 4K, Choose Me, Let The Sunshine In, and My Own Private Idaho.
November 10, 2025Nov 10 Sunday i got Arthur Penn's Night Moves from Barnes & Noble. The local B&N has scant number of releases available - I'll likely get the box sets I'm wanting on Amazon.

Chung Chien Li (THE GUY WITH THE SECRET KUNG FU) and Chen Mu-Chuan (THE IRON MONKEY) co-star in “the FREAKS of martial arts cinema” (1000 Misspent Hours) directed by Chi Lo aka Joe Law (THE DRAGON LIVES AGAIN), newly scanned in 4K from the interpositive with 3 hours of revealing Special Features produced exclusively for this release.

November 14, 2025Nov 14 She was just on Colbert and didn't make much of an impression on me, but here? Man, she is a piece of work 😄 It'd be great just to kick it with her and have a drink, swap stories.
November 18, 2025Nov 18 If Network is in the Criterion Collection, then All The President's Men, Marathon Man, and Scarecrow should join too.
