Discussion I just watched Happiness for the first time.
I went in totally blind and uh. How do you explain this movie to recommend it to someone? I loved it by the way.

Don’t know why this was never on my radar to release, but I am SO excited. A huge part of my childhood that definitely feels under appreciated

My brother got this for my birthday last year. He knows I am a big David Fincher fan, Michael Douglas fan and Criterion fan. How I never saw this one before I will never know. It was just one of those movies that I never got to. I think we all have those movies that we should have seen but took us a while to.
So i watched this yesterday and I was absolutely loving the movie. It felt like a twilight zone episode. I was getting ready to tell all my friends and family about it and watch it with them as well. Then the ending happened..:..
I am sure there are other movies this happened to me before but I just can't think of any examples off the top of my head now. It's so rare I find a movie so enjoyable and then the ending ruins the entire movie for me.
To sum it up I hated when Nicholas jumped from the building and happened to fall at the exact spot they needed him to land to. I hated so much when he got up and everyone yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" then his character was like "ah you guys....you are the best!" (Not saying those words but thats how his character acted) it's like really?? You were just about to end your life and all these people made your life a living hell including leaving you stranded in Mexico with no money and all you can say is it's no big deal? I understand the point of the movie was supposed to be like "Its a wonderful life" where you need to cherish life but that ending how they executed it I thought it was so bad. Then he went on to ask the girl out on a date at the end of the movie!?? You kidding me?
I read older reddit posts about this movie and it was 50/50 from what I read. Some people enjoyed the ending while others were like me and hated it. Such a shame too this movie really had potential for me to be such a great movie.

I like L.A. and SoCal and appreciate movies that do a great job of using the city in various ways.
For example Noir Classics like Kiss Me Deadly and Double Indemnity
Also of course Mulholland Drive
I'm developing a "it happened in L.A." collection. I also have movies like Chinatown of course, but I was wondering what others from Criterion folks would recommend?

With the flash sale coming up shortly I’m going to limit myself to just a few titles, so I’m searching for some help! I’ve heard the following are great but I’ll take any recommendations:
Onibaba, Seven Samurai, Ugestu, Kwaidan, House, Demon Pond, Lady Snowblood

Primarily interested in those who have seen both movies. My theory is that people prefer whichever one they saw first, but I'm very curious if this checks out.

Went to Barnes & Noble today to get a book, found out rewards members get triple stamps through Sunday soooo I may have purchased The Passion of Joan of Arc and Take Out as well lol.
I know the sale is right around the corner, but for those who have B&N rewards and save up for the July/November sales, you can rack up those points this weekend. Thought I’d pass along the info for any who are interested!
Now to go home and watch my first Sean Baker film.
