Want to know how long I’ve been receiving Criterion’s monthly newsletter, all-the-while daydreaming of being someone of enough cinematic circumstance to be awarded the platform and asked to list my “Top Ten?” Years.
[Update 1/22/10 - Netflix Added Even More Criterion Films To Watch Instantly] Well, as listeners of the podcast are well aware of, we love Netflix here on CriterionCast. Specifically we love the ability to watch movies quickly and easily without having to wait for a disc to be delivered to our mailboxes. While I personally long for the day that Netflix begins offering all of the bonus materials, along with commentaries on their streaming films, it is a treat to have these incredible films available in an instant.
Undoubtedly the finest local news coverage comes in times of adverse weather. Back in North Carolina, hurricane season was marked by intrepid meteorologists standing at seventy-degree angles, screaming into microphones as their windbreakers practically sent them into flight. Today, I watched in bewilderment as an anchor pointed out to me an icicle on a stop sign, and got paid to do so. Was this icicle going to keep me from seeing Rashomon tonight? My bones chilled to match its temperature. |
