Y'all know it drives my OCD nutty to post a photo with that much text scrawled over it but how can I deny a photo of vintage shirtless furball Mark Ruffalo? One that I don't believe I'd ever seen before at that??? (And you know I tried to find a copy without the text. Alas.) Anyway it's the perfect way to introduce us to the new batch of Criterion Collection movies that were announced yesterday, to be dropped come July -- I'm doing a lot of catching up today so I assume this won't be new news to most of you. But I'm hardly going to let news of the masterpiece You Can Count on Me entering the Criterion Collection in 4K pass us by, dammit. And that's just one title of their July slate...
... which also includes (all of them in 4K!) Mike Nichols' Carnal Knowledge, Fritz Lang's The Big Heat, Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, and (most excitingly for me) Francois Truffaut's two-decade-long quadrilogy of Antoine Doinel movies. The latter, which all star actor Jean-Pierre Léaud, began in 1959 with The 400 Blows and stretched to 1979's Love on the Run -- I've only ever seen the first movie and have been WAITING for this collection to right that wrong. Criterion always saves us!

There’s only one thing wrong with Criterion films. Movies in English don’t come with subtitles and I always want to have them on, in case I miss something.
Mark has always been my type----I had a straight guy at the gym ask me what my type was----Mark came up----I assured my friend that he was cute but was too pretty----He was, and he knew it----
I loved all the Antoine Doinel films. I hope you do too!
