Shirts for Cineastes

2006_08_criterion.jpg2006_08_janus.jpg

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)!

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.

criterion collection dvds are around USD 40.00

why anyone would pay more to run around with their logo...

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

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