I don't have a lot of physical media; although it has been accumulating lately. This was my first Criterion purchase:

Miracle on the Mississippi: All 129 passengers aboard the New Orleans riverboat that capsized after it was struck by a tanker are safe and accounted for. Solidarity to every single one of the rescue workers who made this miracle happen. 🙏

What the fuck. A tanker just hit a river cruise boat with 129 passengers on board and the boat can be seen capsizing into the Mississippi river. Rescue operations are now underway. 🙏

This is everything wrong with cinema, in my view. Cinema, to me, should reveal truth.

Replying to @DanielGorman20
Yeah, I think his films are amazing. I just disagree with his perspective, and who knows if he even believes it. A lot of political filmmakers claim to make non-politcal films. Margarethe von Trotta, for example. It's a whole thing.
