Imo one of the greatest works of French cinema. In my top ten movies ever. The criterion edition looks tasty because it updates the previous edition's ****ty translation and has a commentary with Kassovits. I'll post my thoughts when it gets here, but Criterion does a good job usually.

That's the joke I was making. You know all of the (digitally available in legal terms) criterion films are on hulu, right?

Yeah. We don't get hulu in Canada. I know that I could just use a proxy, but I buy dvds for the special features anyway. Criterion also comes with nice printed film essays and stuff. Otherwise I just torrent ****...

Anyway, I got it because I had some amazon gift cards.

You guys are missing out on one of the best series of website glitches that the internet has to offer.

Yeah, I've heard that. Worse than Netflix?

It's so bad I'd cancel my subscription if I weren't mooching off of my parents. Netflix I can handle.

Still, at least they have criterion movies etc.
The selection on Netflix is pretty sparse, at least here in Canada.

Popped into a local coin and stamp shop and bought two antique currency pieces - a China Kwang Tung Province 1 Cash coin from 1889 and a Denmark 5 Ore from 1927.

Once I add a long leather chord, these will make nice neo-bohemian retro-west-coast gypsy necklaces for my ongoing cultural appropriation project.
