Shirts for Cineastes

If you're a foreign film fan or DVD fiend, if you've ever had a heated discussion about auteur theory, or insisted that seeing all of Fanny and Alexander was the right way to spend an evening, this might be the most perfect t-shirt for you: The Criterion Collection, which puts out stunning and comprehensive DVDs of films from around the world and from the past and present (two recent favorites of Gothamist: Their editions of The 400 Blows and Metropolitan), now has an online store where you can buy not just Criterion but also Janus Films gear. There are baseball caps and t-shirts, perfect for letting your film snob freak flag fly!

For the record, we're getting the Janus Films t-shirt - we have fond memories of when we tried to watch all the "world classics" the summer before college (hello, Ingmar and Francois)!

Love it. A girl broke up w/ me over Saraband. Too bad; I consider it the litmus test of a relationship.,

the smallest they stock is adult L...what does that say about the criterion demographic?

i think that is nice looking merch, thanks for the tip.

hopefully if it works out as i am now scheming, if i wear the tee and snap at my s.o. i get to say,"well i am like the two heads of janus, so it's not like you were not warned" and maybe i'll get a pass.
