What are people's opinions on Fail-Safe here? I know the basic idea behind it (and the ending unfortunately) but it just seems like a more terrifying and depressing version of Dr. Strangelove, even if DS has very similar ideas under the surface and behind every snarky punchline.

Fail-Safe is incredible. Extremely unfortunate that it would always be overshadowed by Strangelove. But doomsday movies don't get better than this.

Parasite and Memories of Murder to join Criterion
https://www.thewrap.com/parasite-and-me ... ollection/

Of course they do this a few weeks after I buy the Blu-Ray of Parasite.
I've had Memories of Murder on Blu-Ray for a while but I'll get it on Criterion due to the menu on the original Blu-Ray is hard to navigate thru for obvious reasons and also because I love the movie.

Where did you see this? It would be fucking fantastic because the blu-ray is dogshit.

Edit: Nevermind just saw the announcement on Criterion site :twothumbsup:
