THE MOST DIFFICULT CRITERION HAUL YET!!! (07/01/2022)

[@mauriciomurga20]

I already miss Perry (wearing his movie t-shirts) and his huge stacks of criterions :(

[@KevinKrueger86]

Did Perry die?? ( serious question )

[@henr3269]

what happened to perry?

[@logansmovieoutlet9622]

Yo what happened to perry

[@keithcampbell9845]

Dang it's sad to see Perry and Erick go, Hopefully everything is ok for them in their personal lives and they can make a return to the channel soon. I think we will all miss the banter between you guys, still a great video as always though!

[@oznerfrancis5486]

Here we go!!!! So stoked to watch this! Best season of the year! We miss you eric and perry!

[@butrocelaville7279]

It’s insane to look at that entire, long aisle of Criterions…and to know that Daisuke Beppu owns all of them.

[@TheMisfitPond]

Dude I know. I think about that all the time lol why bother going to criterion to record a closet video when you can just go to Daisuke’s house

[@artirony410]

the GOAT

[@Stealthborn]

As a regular contributor on Daisuke's channel in the comments section, I can confirm that along with those laserdiscs he has! Taking it one step further!

[@artirony410]

@@Stealthborn I think Criterion really need to get him out to the Criterion Closet or come to his house and interview him

[@Stealthborn]

@@artirony410 I could imagine him picking up a release and say something along the lines of "I remember that the commentary track on The Prince of Tides was different on the laserdisc compared to this new Blu-Ray release." I did mention the possibility of him going to the closet when I wrote Criterion once.

[@shawnsatrinarodriguez4429]

Hey. It's good to see you guys again. I wish your friends the best. I really enjoyed watching all of you. Maybe they'll be back but if they are not, I'll be here until you stop Carlos.😊

[@ethanedwards7557]

Celine and Julie is great. Rivette was known as one of the most serious, austere directors and then he surprised everyone and made a comedy out of nowhere.

[@excelsiormoviereviews]

I went to Barnes & Noble last night and picked up Seven Samurai, Miller’s Crossing and Inside Llewyn Davis. I will be picking up a couple more today. Your girlfriend is funny and nerdy, she needs to be in your videos more.

[@iscopecinema8419]

The Barnes and Noble 50% Sale is like Christmas in July

[@megamikethemovieman]

What movies are you picking up?

[@gerald997]

Happy B&N Criterion Sale Season! A Fellini film is always a must own for a Criterion haul! 👍👍. I'm definitely picking up 4months, 3Weeks, Pink Flamingos, Worst Person in the World, Naked Lunch, etc.

[@ignaceeeyo]

“Her face is a masterpiece” 🤣

[@tomasdominguez3645]

Still a great video even tho Perry and Erick are not in it. They will be greatly missed! Also, your welcome for the Fail Safe recommendation. As I said in my message, I think this film is grossly overlooked so I am more than happy to have helped spread the word about this film by giving you the money to buy it! Looking forward to the review whenever it comes! Also funny enough I was literally begging you to choose 12 Angry Men at the end for the same reason you ended up choosing it in the video and was so relieved when you choose it 😂😂😂

[@bbattersby2345]

The reason it was overlooked was because Dr Strangelove and Fail Safe were distributed by the same company and Kubrick insisted his film should be released first. This hurt Fail Safe's release because people weren't interested in seeing a straight version of the same story and people who did see it found it unintentionally hilarious because of Strangelove. Kubrick and the author of the original book Strangelove was based on also tried to sue the filmmakers because the concept was similar despite being adapted from a different novel.

[@tomasdominguez3645]

@@bbattersby2345 Hi Blake! I knew a bit of the backstory beforehand but thank you for giving me a better insight into it. Btw I finally watched Dr. Strangelove last night and yeah it’s a great film (though I don’t love it as much as Fail Safe 😂😂😂).

[@bbattersby2345]

@@tomasdominguez3645 no problem, it's a fascinating story. I think I prefer Fail Safe as well, it took me about 30mins to get on Strangelove's wavelength when I watched it. It's due a rewatch from me at some point.

[@kkaylann]

The Gen & Carlos banter is 10/10

[@Robert-t5d5y]

I want to thank you for this video. I just recently heard about criterion and have been doing a lot of research on the company and love what they do and the insane amount of work they put into their releases. I currently have no criterion as of yet, but I do have some titles on my list that I plan on picking up very soon. Thanks again for the video, and I am now a new subscriber to your channel.

[@variousspaghetti]

Great Video....Hope you enjoy Being There....I think it will give you a good dynamic topic to think and discuss upon.

[@thedude3853]

Being There is awesome.

[@marcjohnson3553]

Love these Criterion Haul videos, though it is sad Perry and Eric aren’t there as I love hearing their insight as well. I’m very very excited for this Sale cause I’m traveling to the US in mid-July (I’m from Europe) and will be able to get my hands on some Criterion’s! I think I’m gonna go quite crazy lol

[@megamikethemovieman]

What kinds of movies do you mostly collect?

[@marcjohnson3553]

@@megamikethemovieman I’ve only started collecting rather recently. I’ve got a couple “normal” blu rays of movies I like and Criterion wise I own: Tootsie, Dr. Strangelove, Punch Drunk Love, Stalker, The Naked Kiss and All About Eve.

@@marcjohnson3553 I have Punch Drunk Love too. I cover lots of collection and physical media topic videos on my channel, feel free to stop by to enjoy some videos my friend and so we talk more movies.

[@ethanedwards7557]

Fail Safe is basically a serious take on the same story as Dr Strangelove, even came out the same year. If you like Lumet you must watch Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico.

[@Ultra-Collector]

Our Chan is expanding and we will be showing our Film collection ,and giving recommendations soon! Over 1900 titles in every genre and format! Hope you check it out when we post! I’ll send you guys the link! Thanks!

[@jnagarya519]

"A Face in the Crowd" is a must.

[@greatestd4ne]

I would definitely recommend watching ‘all about my mother’ imo it’s his best after ‘the skin I live in’ , I also personally really love ‘tie me up , tie me down!’ As well. I could understand why people wouldn’t like TMUTMD or something like ‘women on the verge of a nervous breakdown’ but ‘all about my mother’ i feel isn’t as quirky as those other films of his and has more of a serious tone like ‘the skin i live in’ (nowhere near as dark) Also ‘Canoa : a shameful memory’ is super underrated imo nobody really talks about that film much, but its actually really good ! Nice haul video 👍

[@tabithafahey1017]

YESS I have been so excited for this video! I was waiting for this. I'm sorry to hear about the boys leaving, it's sad they won't be in the channel anymore but we still have the fun videos and memories I hope they will appear again, but if not its totally understandable. I will definitely still be supporting and watching your channel, and am still excited for your vids to come. Was so happy to see you pick up some john waters as well :)

[@MrWafflez26]

hell yeah big La Strada simp reporting for duty here. great video. still very entertaining. i did my own haul today :3

[@lostnthenoise]

For such a classic, its so weird to hear Sidney Lumet say that he wasn't trying to create a lasting piece of art. He said all he wanted to do good enough to get another movie directing job.

[@FAITH_and_MISERY]

Awesome haul! Happy 4th of July weekend!

[@megamikethemovieman]

Happy 4th! You planning any movie pickups for this month?

[@80085word69]

[@jnagarya519]

"Badlands" and "The Big Chill" are musts.

[@JaketheSnakePlissken]

Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood is one of my favorite films. Criterion has a release I definitely recommend

[@JeremyReviewsEntertainment]

Great haul my dude, if ya need someone to tag along next time I still gotta get my Criterion shopping done lol

[@swansong487]

I'm so jealous. My Barnes & Noble's music and movie section has recently been reduced to about eight feet of shelving, so there are barely any Criterions.

[@Infidex77]

My B&N store carriers zero Criterion, frustrating as I would love to shop in person versus ordering online...

[@Skimaskkass]

I'm not participating in the sale this time and haven't in awhile but if I could get 5 films they would be: The Long Day Closes, The Worst Person In The World, Drive My Car, Barry Lyndon, Old Joy

[@bbattersby2345]

Shame about Perry and Erik hope they can come back soon! Your strong endorsement of Hero intrigues me, I might have to watch that. I saw Pather Panchali like 4 years ago and it needs a rewatch and then I will try and watch the rest of the Apu trilogy as I didn't know it was a part of a trilogy at the time. I need to get into more John Waters films, I have only seen Cecil B Demented (a great film btw highly recommend) but he is a personality I enjoy watching. Can't go wrong with 12 Angry Men either, masterpiece, I think it's playing near me this week at the cinema. As for the Patron requests, Thief is awesome. Being There and Fail Safe are great picks too, haven't seen the rest ☺️ Can't wait for the next one!
