Criterion Collection Store

I just got an exciting email from the Criterion Collection about the revival of their online store. Starting tomorrow they will be reopening a fresh online store, but that's not what I'm going crazy over. This time around, instead of just selling gift items like t-shirts and coffee cups, their DVD's will be for sale too!

This is a big deal for the people that enjoy their great work and are grateful for their amazing collection of classic films, because the official Criterion version of those films can be hard to find.

Last I checked there are hundreds of DVD's in their collection. I own 3, (The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic, and Mon Oncle), but I plan to buy many more very soon! Maybe as soon as the store opens tomorrow...

New Yankee Stadium Construction

I took these pictures on my way to my little brother's baseball game in the Bronx. I'm not a Yankees fan, but it's exciting to see how the new stadium is coming together.






One of these days I'm gonna go check out the progress on the Met's new park, Citi Field.
