the same deal is going with RTs of a similar Criterion Corner Tweet, so RT that if you want to double your already not too-shabby odds of winning.
fun? fun. totally shameless… sure, but everybody wins, and - most of all - it helps to ensure that a bunch of people are aggressively spreading the word about how one of the best films of 2010 is due for an imminent Criterion release and that everyone should be getting jaaazzzzzzeeed! so get… doing whatever it is that you feel like you want do in this situation. awesome? awesome.

Guess how many movies I watched in December!!
I am amazed I watched so many feature length films. 202 brand new movies. I actually only watched this in 30 days, the last day I was out of town. And truthfully I didn’t watch any movies on my birthday or the day after. I managed to finish off Jarmusch, Kurosawa, and Kubrick this month, as well as probably some others. I don’t plan on watching this many anytime soon again. I’ll probably just watch 100 a month from now on…
