[Human Snorenado]

People who buy Criterion DVDs are elitists.

People who in any way enjoy Michael Bay's cinematic abortions will all be rounded up and sent to Neu Auschwitz when the revolution comes.

[The Fake Shemp]

Michael Bay has two Criterion releases - OH YEAH.

OWNED

[TVC15]

Michael Bay's output is slightly >>>>> Kurosawa's

[Howard Alan Treesong]

michael bay knows how to sign his name?!

[TVC15]

To Criterion's credit, The Rock is the best example of a Bay-style film.  Well, at least the most successful one.

[CajoleJuice]

How do you explain



Only rationalization is that the people at Criterion, like myself, find themselves glued to the TV every time Armageddon is shown on Fox or FX.

[TVC15]

I think Criterion needed money!

[The Fake Shemp]

Typical artfag spin.

[CajoleJuice]

Face it, it's a triumph of American filmmaking.



Oil-drilling cowboys save the world!

Good thing Criterion isn't run by a bunch of America-hating liberals.

[TVC15]

Typical artfag spin.

Without knowing the details, Criterion got burned by going full speed into laserdisc, and for much of the late 90s, they were kinda floundering (until DVD took off in 1999+).  They needed money!  heck, they still need money frequently.  Why do you think there's a new batch of Kurosawa remasters every year? 

They're a business, which means that they can't adhere to strictly artsy standards.

This would explain them waiting on the high-def format this long, I guess.

[TVC15]

If a little Michael Bay will get me all the Ingmar Bergman I can desire, I say go for it!

[Ichirou]

FWIW, Bay came to Criterion when it came to releasing Armageddon on DVD.  He was the one interested in having it on the Criterion label (can't say I blame him) and Criterion's reps have rationalized it by saying it is a perfect example of a certain type of film that deserves to be represented on the label.

I enjoy The Rock and Armageddon.  They are stupid movies, but they do action pretty well.  They're not on the level of any of the classic '80s and '70s action pictures, tho.  I mean, if Criterion released something like First Blood, Die Hard, Death Wish, Predator, etc., on DVD, they wouldn't even have to justify it.  Those movies are seminal examples of a certain type of picture which is no longer really made.

Ooo, I didn't realize there was a Criterion release of The Last Emperor. Must purchase!

Videodrome Critertion craps all over the entire blu-ray catalog.

Pretty much.

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH

[Bloodwake]

If a little Michael Bay will get me all the Ingmar Bergman I can desire, I say go for it!

Another good point. Armageddon might have been released as a Criterion set, but so was Cries and Whispers, one of the best movies I've ever seen, so Criterion is forgiven.

[Tauntaun]

Pretty much.

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH

Isn't that part of a Strapping Young Lad song?  Or is it all hail the new flesh?  Either way,

[drozmight]

I will admit I like Armageddon, and still don't know why. I tear up everytime the one guy, who can't see his son, is shown on TV SAVING THE WORLD, and his mom's all, "that's your dad!" And he has redeemed himself!





Plus the Russian cosmo filled with liquid courage.

[TVC15]

Pretty much.

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH

Isn't that part of a Strapping Young Lad song?  Or is it all hail the new flesh?  Either way,

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH has been sampled by many many many many songs.  It is one of the most popular movie samples in music, actually.

Videodrome's cult film status has made it a popular source for sampling and homage in industrial and heavy metal music. It ranks tenth on the Top 1319 Sample Sources list [1] and has been sampled in at least 32 individual songs.

    * Apoptygma Berzerk used "It was only 26 hours ago in the building you see behind me..." from Videodrome on the track "Our Souls Will Remain" from their 1992 single "The 2nd Manifesto".
    * EMF used "Long live the new flesh..." in studio and live versions of Children from its debut LP, Schubert Dip.
    * Skinny Puppy used "You'll forgive me if I don't stay around to watch... I just can't cope with freaky stuff" as an ominous intro for Draining Faces, on 1987's Cleanse Fold and Manipulate.
    * Cyberaktif (a Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly side project) used "See you in Pittsburgh" at the end of the song "Face to Face" off the 1990 album Tenebrae Vision.
    * Techno band Messiah samples several lines from the film in their 1991 song "You're Going Insane."
    * The most prominently quoted line, "Long live the new flesh," was used as the chorus for the Wiseblood song "0-0 (Where Evils Dwells)", later covered by Fear Factory.
    * The metal group Strapping Young Lad has a song titled "All Hail The New Flesh" on their album "City", released in 1997.
    * The Belgian EBM band Front 242 used a number of samples from Videodrome in their album Official Version. For example, Barry Convex's line at the SpecOps trade show, "You know me, and I sure know you. Every one of you!", is sampled as the intro to Masterhit, and the word "television", off O'Blivion's first speech in the movie, can be heard at the end of Television Station.
    * The punk band Big Audio Dynamite used Barry Convex's line, "I hope you realize you're playing with dynamite", as an intro to their song C'Mon Every Beatbox, referring to the movie as well as their own band name.
    * The industrial music band Hardwire uses a piece from Professor O'Blivion's interview speech as the intro to their song "Reformat", from the Master-Control album. The lyrics of the song itself also reflect upon the film.
    * The song Sexual Orientation, along with at least three Emergency Broadcast Network productions, consists mostly of sound effects and quotes from the movie.
    * The industrial group My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult used a direct sample of "Death to the Videodrome" followed up by a sung "Long live the new flesh" in their song After the Flesh, which was featured in the movie, The Crow
    * The experimental electronic musician Jack Dangers has used numerous samples from the film, namely on the Meat Beat Manifesto album Satyricon.
    * The 1996 Acid Techno track entitled Reality by Andrei Morant samples the character Brian O'Blivion's philosophical riddle: "There is nothing real outside our perception of reality, is there?"
    * The Post-punk band Flesh For Lulu named one of their albums "Long Live The New Flesh."
    * On the debut album "Appetizer" (1994) from the Swedish hard rock band Freak Kitchen there are two songs inspired from this movie. Track 5 "See You In Pittsburgh" and track 12 "The New Part".
    * The metal band Videodrone takes its name from the film.
    * Baltimore-based noise rock band the New Flesh takes their name from the film.
    * The song "Niky Braun" by French power electronics project Propergol mostly consists of samples from Videodrome.
    * In Sundsvall, Sweden there is a film store named Videodrome: Cult Film Import. It specializes in alternative film and rare videotapes. Collectors can go there to find films no longer available elsewhere (including out of print x-rated features).
    * Videodrome is also the name of an independent video rental store in Atlanta, Georgia specializing in many hard to find foreign, cult, and anime features.
    * Japanese film director Hideo Nakata has said that the scene of the malicious ghost Sadako coming out of the television in the film Ringu was inspired by Videodrome.
    * Long Island post-hardcore band Disarming Arctica wrote their song Motives completely around the concept of the film Videodrome. References are made in the lyrics including 'Long live the new flesh' and 'First it controlled her mind, then it destroyed her body'.
    * The music to the first level of Tempest 2000 used the line 'Television is the retina of the mind's eye'
    * Industrial metal band Whorgasm, on their album Smothered, samples the lines "It's just torture and murder", "No plot, no characters; just very, very realistic", and "I think it's what's next"
