I don't suppose they'd do a Killers-esque set and pair it with To Have And Have Not?

That would mean more Curtiz in the Collection, but John Garfield's first entry.domino harvey wrote:Has to be-- long rumored and actually a solid left-field acquisition from WB, unlike a lot of their choices latelyjwd5275 wrote:The Breaking Point
*It just dawned on me that the #2 could stand for the director's second film in the Collection.

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
I just wanted to highlight this as it came as quite a shock to me that Damien Bona had passed away back in 2012 at only 56. He wrote the Inside Oscar books, but I was most aware of him from his great posts on the auteurist-focused a_film_by group (and later comments at Dave Kehr's blog when the group members mostly moved there) back in the mid 2000s.Bill Condon in Top Ten wrote:Make Way for Tomorrow by Leo McCarey
This film was a favorite of my late friend Damien Bona, and always reminds me of him. A humanist classic, it inspired another classic, Ozu’s Tokyo Story.
The link has been long since broken, but luckily thanks to the Internet Wayback machine, which captured the webpage back in 2004, here is a link to Bona's essay Make Way for Tomorrow and The Awful Truth: Leo McCarey and the Sacred Region of Romantic Love.

Tellingly, the Warner Archive DVD appears to be out of print, too. It's no longer listed on the WB site, and only used copies are available on Amazon.domino harvey wrote:Has to be-- long rumored and actually a solid left-field acquisition from WB, unlike a lot of their choices latelyjwd5275 wrote:The Breaking Point

The 2nd season of The Leftovers
Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
Probably not, as the Warner Archive Blu-ray just came out a few months ago, but they could do a more literal Killers-esque set and pair it with the Don Siegel version from 1958 with Audie Murphy.ptatler wrote:I don't suppose they'd do a Killers-esque set and pair it with To Have And Have Not?

Any Hemingway-related features at least are probably applicable no matter how many versions they are putting out, so this may well work as a good stealth special edition/companion piece to the Warner Blu of To Have and Have Not.

I think it's reasonable to expect they'll have some feature not dissimilar to what was on Here Comes Mr. Jordan that goes over the numerous adaptations in some detail

Henry David Thoreau was the heir to a pencil-making business - Jonas Mekas' 'Walden' "breaks" from Thoreau's original. ....
A Breaking Point/To Have combo is a great idea. There's an argument for Bigelow, too - Point Break, like Near Dark, has admirers.
Point Break also made me think of Boorman's 'Point Blank'.

At least, no one can ever again say the discussion here is pointless.

I doubt it. What could they possibly add and why is there a steak?

Walk (wok) + stake (steak) + flames = The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Could just as easily be The Devils (a man can dream, can't he?)jsteffe wrote:Walk (wok) + stake (steak) + flames = The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
"Fire wok with meat" is the best solution I've seen so far, but I'm with Domino that it seems like an odd choice, and I keep unsuccesfully looking for something else.

Yikes, undoubtedly "Fire Wok with Meat"
What the hell could Criterion possibly add to this release?
I guess they have to keep the lights on in order to put out releases like Rosselini's War Trilogy...and we all know kids these days are buying all the Lynch films!
Can we have LOST HIGHWAY or THE ELEPHANT MAN instead though, please?
