If the Nolan movies were in any way trying to be representative of "post 9-11 American solidarity" that might be a meaningful criticism.

Unfortunately, Criterion (and most of the other smaller, non-studio labels) are the exceptions to the rule when it comes to waiting a few months to buy a new release for very cheap. They pretty much never lower MSRP and their releases from 10-years ago still only get normal discounts (10-35% off) at places like Amazon.

To be fair, a 70-minute film CAN feel too long - if the story being told isn't interesting enough to justify the length.

I love "Gerry." The first time I watched it was one of those (warning: cliche) "spiritual experiences" for me.

Cute, but… That doesn't really make sense. Very few, if any of these movies are on Netflix. Many of them haven't even gotten a wide theatrical release yet.
