Oh my God, Criterion's releasing it!

I've already pre-ordered mine at Amazon.com.

If you'll recall, criterion actually put out the original laserdisc for secret honor -- and the short cuts special edition in 1994.
As for brewster, there's always the possibility that mgm might do a special edition for it, since they have the video rights.
HEALTH is another interesting choice, actually. I rented a bootleg copy over a week ago (probably taped from the movie channel or something) and it was interesting -- if not entirely successful (in my opinion). I know that, like 3 women, HEALTH has never been on home video legitimately. And since it's a cinemascope film, it could sure use a nice anamorphic widescreen transfer. An Altman commentary wouldn't hurt either.

I saw 3 Women on Criterion weeks ago and I still can't get it out of my head. Each and every Altman film is it's own unique experience. They're so real to life. I recently saw "The Company" with Neve Campbell and Malcolm McDowell, his latest, about a ballet troupe and was stunned, mind you I'm not a fan of the ballet. Anyone who has the patience to enjoy a craftmaker this subtle he makes you forget you're watching a moviedeserves to give themselves a treat with any Altman film. Also, I think I saw that Criterion did just release Short Cuts, hopefully more on the way. What about "Popeye"? Way underrated and that Nillson soundtrack deserves to be issued. I loved the way P.T. Anderson reworked one of the songs for "Punch-Drunk Love"- also a favorite.

Well , if you're the one who gave Criterion the idea to release 3 Women on DVD ,please accept this expression of gratitude ( or would you prefer cash ?). I got my copy last week and I will stand here right now and say that in my opinion ( no doubt that others will contradict me ) this movie is the best thing that Robert Altman ever did ( not to denigrate his other works )and those were the best performances that Spacek & Duvall ever did . So there .
" We call him Pea-brain , 'cause he's got the mental age of a pea ."

One of my favorite Altman films (saw it in the theatre in New York in '77). My #2 of that year (after Annie Hall). Duvall & Spacek both should have been nominated. After Nashville & McCabe & Mrs. Miller, probably #3 is 3 Women. Love Altman! Totally underappreciated by too many folk who would rather worship Spielberg & Lucas & Joel Schumacher I guess.
