Criterion is going to bankrupt me in October with the release of their The Complete Kubrick box set. Do I have most of these films on Blu-ray or 4K already? Yes. Will I shell out $300 for this at the next B&N 50% Off or Criterion Flash Sale? HELL YES! I haven’t been peddling my ass on OnlyFans for nothing.
