the criterion collection online cinematheque
love good films? this is the site for you. criterion has redesigned their site & now offers a limited number of films for online viewing — $5 per film for a week. a little pricey for a rental, but the best part is that your $5 will go towards the dvd price if you decide to buy it to keep. this is the rental/buy model i’ve been waiting for all along… the only question is whether it’s already too late for dvds. is the idea of “owning” that encoded hunk of plastic already past its sell-by date?
