You Want a Fountain: Criterion Collection?

So does Darren Aronofsky:

Quote:
so the dvd came out.
happy that it is in the world.
hope more folks will get to see it.

as many of you can tell it is light on the extras as compared to my previous dvd releases.

everything at the studio was a struggle.
for instance: they didn't want to do a commentary track cause they felt that it wouldn't help sales.
i didn't have it in me to fight anymore.
whatever.

so:
niko, my friend who did the doc on the dvd came up with a novel idea.
we recorded a commentary track ourselves.
we're gonna post it on a site soon, http coming soon.
you can play it and watch the flick and hopefully you'll enjoy it.

i do hope to do a big special edition at some point. but for that to happen the dvd is gonna have to sell.
i got a lot of extras in my bag so who know maybe if you all write to criterion they'll get interested (suggest the fountain as a title: mulvaney@criterion.com).

they've been into pi and requiem but because the first run of dvd's had so many extras they didn't know what else they could add. but the fountain...

i hope you are all well. i've been writing. stuff is coming. gonna know what we are doing next soon enough.
I know it's a matter of Criterion being able to purchase the rights from Warner Bros and all that corporate/legal nonsense, but it's good to know that Aronofsky at least wants a better edition of the DVD.

posted this in another Fountain thread but i''ll repost it, cause its relevant.

i emailed the above address, basically kissing their asses and begging for a criterion Fountain release, and here's the cold-blooded response:

"Hi,

We don’t have any plans to release “The Fountain” at this time, but we appreciate your writing in with the suggestion and kind words.

Sincerely,

Tamara, tamara@criterion.com"

so I guess if ENOUGH people bug 'em for one, they'll eventually explore the possibilities of doing it. But right now, its not looking good.

I say we all bug criterion for some uwe boll dvds. I do hope they have plans for a Transformers Criterion to go with the other Michael Bay discs.

Do you post stuff like that because you need affirmation of your sad life?

If you could actually come up with an entertaining retort, we'd all think about starting to enjoy your posts.

Alternate tactic: tell us more about seeing Shirley MacLaine buying coffee.

(Apologies for derailing your thread, Matt.)

I just wonder who stole the Caps Lock or Shift key from Aronofsky's keyboard.

Perhaps he was having Rosie O'Donnell type for him.

You would think since Aronofsky wants it and has now made it known, Criterion might look a little harder at it than if only fans sent in the requests.

Maybe not.

I'd buy it.
