CRITERION CORNER GIVEAWAY!!!!
hey there. it’s been a while since i’ve randomly given stuff away, and that doesn’t jive well with my philosophy that love and / or readership should be shamelessly bought. so in honor of the holiday season - and to make up for lost time / clear my shelf of some extra stuff i’ve got lying around - i thought i’d throw the biggest Criterion Corner giveaway yet.
The Prize:
- DVD of Sidney Lumet’s 12 ANGRY MEN!
- Blu-ray of Claude Chabrol’s LES COUSINS!
- 1 DVD box set of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s THREE COLORS! (opened but never watched and in mint condition… long story)
- 1 MYSTERY DVD!!!! (maybe a Criterion film, maybe just something I want to share with a stranger. definitely previously loved).
TO ENTER: just “like” and / or Re-blog this post. each note will count as a separate entry, so every fellow blogger can therefore submit a maximum total of 2 entries.
giveaway will be closed at 12 P.M. EST on Friday, 12/3/2011. 1 winner will be randomly selected from the notes. so the odds should be okay if not super awesome, but someone’s gonna get some great stuff for nothing.
good luck, and thanks so, so much for reading the blog and my Criterion Corner column on movies.com!
Fake Criterion Cover / Box Art: HARRY POTTER (dir. a bunch of dudes) 2001-2011
yeah, i know that you’ve probably already seen this several times over, but, um, this is a blog dedicated to The Criterion Collection, so… yeah, my hands are kinda tied with this one. just doing my part. at least i waited until someone assembled all 7 covers in a pretty little photo post.
in a related story… these are damn good.
What If the HARRY POTTER Films Were Released As Part of the Criterion Collection?
They might look something like this. Unfortunately, the Harry Potter movies are not being released by the Criterion Collection anytime in the near future, but that didn’t stop designer Patrick Sullivan from dreaming up some Criterion-style artwork for them.
Criterion is known for their excellent cover art, and I think that Sullivan really did them justice here, don’t you?
I’ve done this.
