I think your opinion of Zodiac is more ...Mattson~~<br /><br />I think your opinion of Zodiac is more common than you'd believe. It lacks the flashy style of <I>Seven</I> or <I>Fight Club</I> (not to mention <I>Panic Room</I>, which is pretty much all style), but I definitely think it's more fully-realized than <I>Button</I> is. <br /><br />That said, it's entirely possible that the <I>Button</I> release could be a contractual thing with Paramount that Criterion has agreed to in exchange for rights to some archive titles. They've put out some other Par titles over the last year or so, and I'm guessing they've got a deal going on with Criterion the way Universal has done in the past. <br /><br />Besides, maybe if <I>Button</I> does really well, they'll double back for some other Fincher titles. Since <I>Zodiac</I> is also Paramount, I bet that would be their next stop on Fincher's filmography, especially since there have to be a bunch of extra stuff that hasn't made its way onto DVD yet. Also, I know <I>The Game</I> could really use the upgrade. The old NLC DVDs of <I>Se7en</I> are pretty damn good already, plus with NLC getting bought out by Warner who knows what'll happen in the future.<br /><br />Adam~~~<br /><br />I can't believe I didn't think to supply links. I'll start on next month's Criterion Watch.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, everyone.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-49648801092150753622009-04-11T16:50:00.000-04:002009-04-11T16:50:00.000-04:00Oh, just to be helpful:http://www.criterion.com/bo...Oh, just to be helpful:<BR/>http://www.criterion.com/boxsets/613<BR/><BR/>It's got Pigs and Battleships, The Insect Woman, and Intentions of Murder.Adam Villanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694072629634740634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-83055051631262501822009-04-11T16:49:00.000-04:002009-04-11T16:49:00.000-04:00Any chance you could supply some links?

Would have loved to see Se7en Criterion, or (especially) Zodiac, which I think I'm alone in thinking is his most mature work as a filmmaker.MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203400260160541629noreply@blogger.com
