Probably because its a sock account.
sharewas he the user who started a few threads about how much he hated criterion releases?
perhaps he's on a cyber strike until the criterion streaming service shuts down.
he seemed like a rather needlessly negative & dour sort to me.
i can admire people who hold strong opinions, i suppose, but, if i am thinking of the right guy, he seemed to cross the boundary into a sort of pointless cynicism & antagonism.
I don't recall any thread about that. I just remember they posted a lot.
shareHe was a troll. He should be missed like a kidney stone is missed.
share"he seemed to cross the boundary into a sort of pointless cynicism & antagonism."
Yes, that's the one. Needlessly negative and dour too.
There might be some phony baloney, but a lot of Criterion is great.. Sometimes when I see that logo in animation before a movie, I already think "This has a chance to be special"
sharei agree.
i don't always love the kind of prestige film that criterion often releases, but they've released tons of things i do enjoy & i think their streaming service has been an absolute home run. chock full of great stuff. & they actually have a lot of the extras from their discs - commentaries, special features - streaming on the site s well, which is a nice rare treat.
Exactly. Even though I'm conscious about this, I'm sure in some way it influences my perception, even if its very slight. If you go into a movie expecting greatness, chances are you'll look for examples that justify that decision, especially when "everyone else" says its so great.
