Come On Criterion! This One's A Gem!


Personally, I like the Dustin Hoffman narration. Ringo's is good too. But why Criterion can't compile a nice DVD/BD disc with a good print and both (or more?) narrations to choose from. Added commentaries by Hoffman, Starr, et al (Before either of them pass away...) Compiled footage of Harry Nilsson interviews about the album and film. And any additional fodder that can enlighten and give insight to the zeitgeist of this movie. Watership Down...? Nice movie, not much to be explained. For a company like Criterion that likes to attach essays and pontificate on 'points' so often missed by the general audiences. This is one they SHOULD be definitely be pointing out to the masses, and making a point to include as much points in the packaging. (A nice triangular case containing two round discs perhaps...?)

Let us both head to Criterion (uh, the site) and let them know. Ok, I already have. Oh, and the triangular case idea is brilliant.
