Vons has just started stocking the shelves with candy corn and pumpkins, but I already know what I want for Christmas. Pre-sales are in effect for the ultimate Criterion Collection. 50 DVDs come packaged in a beautiful coffee table quality book called Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films. Janus is responsible for bringing foreign films to the art houses. Now is your chance to impress every person who thinks they really know what Godard films are all about. Or knock the socks off your Fellini loving friends when you show them Polanski's first feature. Scorsese writes the introduction. Order now through Criterion get a freebie t-shirt and save $200 (that's only $650 before the retail price!) Take note, Santa.
