CRITERION CORNER 2011: A Banner Year
still settling into the new year, over here (still finding individual shoes from my new year’s party… not sure how that happens), and just felt like taking a super quick look back at the very formative year that was for the column / blog. it’s been an amazing experience channeling my private (and compulsively nerdy) passion for the criterion collection and the culture it represents into… well, whatever this is. it’s only been possible because film lives with some people in a way that most folks will never understand, and criterion & co. are always there to remind us that we’re the lucky ones. so in lieu of clogging up your feeds even more than i usually do, let me just say that it’s a huge relief to know you’re out there.
thanks for an amazing 2011, thanks so much for reading, and here’s hoping that 2012 will bring with it a ton of great reasons to start obsessing about this stuff all over again (and from what i’ve heard, there definitely will be…). - david (@CriterionCorner)
p.s. this post is my lame tribute to elisa, who only has to use an infinitesimal fraction of her design talents to quickly slap together these banner images, but whom i appreciate to no earthly end.
