Criterion Channel has a Commentaries section for selected films and an Editions section for extras/supplements.

As a Criterion Channel subscriber since it went live I have never been disappointed. You can watch anything from the likes of Vampyr, The Harder They Come, Eating Raoul, House of Bamboo, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 and Cleo 9 to 5 on a given day and barely scratch the surface of what they offer. Worth every penny.

I saw Valley Girl countless times in the early ‘80s; when it was on cable my sister averaged one viewing a day. Last week I watched it on Criterion Channel with my wife - first time in almost 40 years - and it still impresses. It's how I remember what it was like to navigate the social hierarchy of my teenage years.…

I was really hoping Bruce Hyde who played Lt. Riley during TOS season 1 would still be alive and outlive the rest at this point. But it looks like it’s going to be between Shatner-Takei-Koenig.

Use footage as part of a new biopic about Miller’s descent into homicidal madness. Contrast the spectacle against the squalor.

“Helen Wheels” and “Junior’s Farm” instead of “No More Lonely Nights” and “Say, Say, Say.”

It’s the reason my ancestor left England as an indentured servant to work on the expansion of the Plymouth colony. Pilgrims didn’t play bagpipes.

He would have made a better Juan Trippe than Alec Baldwin for sure.

Happy Jack in Gangs of New York. I always thought John C. Reilly phoned that one in. Liotta would have been more louche, more menacing

His inclusion was probably occidental. Nothing a little baking powder won't erase.

When I first saw the pic I thought Peter Hook had been indulging in too many ales and eel pies. 

So Eskil Vogt’s The Innocents is not a remake of Jack Clayton’s 1961 The Innocents. Good, I guess. But why give it the same name? Now dorks like me will have to try to explain this needless complication when recommending Clayton’s film as the masterpiece it is. “It’s not the same story. Vogt’s film may be great, but Th…

Note to self: Avoid any movie that showcases lines like “I didn’t sign up for this” and “You want to play with me?!” in the ads.

The cast looks way too healthy and humorless. 

This has probably been stated more than once in this thread. I think some of Will Smith’s tears during his speech were a natural/involuntary reaction to his violence. But they were also due to the realization that while it seemed justified in the moment, his actions ultimately stole what should have been a triumph fir …

Waiting for this:

I wonder if there was some Khartoum guilt behind the purchase of the farm.

Wes Anderson talks a little about working with Caan in a 2008 interview: https://www.avclub.com/wes-anderson-1798215291 . He says Caan didn’t spend much time on the set and was unsure if the movie was intended as drama or comedy. Caan probably didn’t know what to make of Anderson and thought “Bottle Rocket” was quirky…

He saw a fellow narcissist use racism and anti-liberalism to build a rabidly loyal fanbase and obtain a position of significant power and said. “So that’s how it’s done.”

Abrams should cast Ian McCulloch as Bono. Despite recent reconciliation between Echo and U2, I suspect Mac would still make Bono seem even more pompous, privileged and bereft of inspiration.
