Index > I stopped buying expensive Criterion releases when they made their own streaming channel

I guess it’s not as annoying as Ridley Scott’s “Director’s Cut” of Blade Runner not actually being a “director’s cut,” but I don’t even know which of these six versions of the film I actually watched–BTW, when I actually saw the film all those years ago, it was on VHS tape. And it was a fucking OLD VHS tape. You could tell from the packaging that it was from like 1985 or something.
Whatever–as long as it has the “beens....lima beens” Dylan scene, it’s official enough for me.
I suppose this would be a good time to rewatch the film, I bought Wild Bunch and rewatched Straw Dogs at least, but never redid PG&BTK.
I’m a little suprised that La Bamba has been added to the collection (I guess historical accuracy isn’t something they give a shit about at Criterion!), I’m debating whether or not to re-buy Trainspotting, but the Criterion would be a good excuse to get Risky Business. I’ve never seen RB. (I also have never heard of the guy who directed it.)
