The Flop House Movie Minute #28 - Criterion Collection

[0:00] It's the Flophouse Movie Minute.

[0:29] Okay, Criterion Collection Radiohead, take one.

[0:32] The Criterion Collection is ready to explode in your DVD player.

[0:38] In a mindgasm of cine-fantastic pleasure!

[0:42] When you demand only the highest in no-hold-barred, kick-ass film art,

[0:47] Criterion Collection is the place to be inside your TV!

[0:52] Just check out some of the latest choice picks, new to DVD,

[0:56] like My Dinner With Andre, starring legendary theater director Andre Gregory

[1:02] and the voice of that dinosaur from Toy Story.

[1:06] It sounds like this is more like My Dinner With Fundray.

[1:09] What happens when two old friends get together for dinner and conversation?

[1:13] Perhaps a penetrating and whimsical meditation on life, the creative process, and the human condition.

[1:21] What do you think? You bet your ass.

[1:24] And talk about screen-burning extras!

[1:26] You'll have a squid and the whale of a time listening to Noah Baumbach

[1:31] interview our two hot hunks of leading men.

[1:34] And you'll be throbbing your way through the collector's booklet,

[1:37] critical essay written by Amy Taubin!

[1:40] That's cool! Critical assessment delivered by a hot critic in a bikini.

[1:45] How can you go wrong?

[1:47] Ms. Taubin does not appear in a bikini.

[1:48] Or how about the Criterion Collection?

[1:51] After the Dark.

[1:53] Why not pick up Nagisa Oshima's sizzling exploration of obsessive desire

[1:58] in the disobsessed erotic mythology of 1930s Japan?

[2:01] Ooh la la!

[2:03] More like Criterion Conception.

[2:05] Talk about film buff, am I right, ladies?

[2:08] You know I am!

[2:09] If you want a film where someone writes Japanese kanji on themselves with a severed penis,

[2:14] you know the only place you're going to get your fix is the adult section.

[2:18] And by adult videos, we mean movies for discerning grown-up fans of film art.

[2:22] The hard stuff!

[2:23] You only get from the Criterion Collection,

[2:26] where our commitment to the finest cinematic art is always totally exposed,

[2:31] full frontal, and rarely castrated.

[2:34] It's bonerific!

[2:36] If you want blue, blue, blue, blue, blu-ray quality picture clarity

[2:39] combined with French new-wave plot obscurity,

[2:42] why not pick up Last Year at Marine Bay?

[2:46] It's a fever dream that will mindfuck your brain

[2:49] into new understanding of filming art!

[2:52] You'll be marion-bad to the bone once you're done gnawing on this puzzle.

[2:56] That's the Criterion Collection.

[2:58] Movies so classy, they'll eat your brain!

[3:10] That was great, Lou. Now can we try one a little less classy?

[3:15] This episode of the Flophouse Movie Minute was written by yours truly, Dan McCoy,

[3:20] and performed and produced by sometime guest Flophouse host, Lou Fernandez.
