The issue will also include much, much more!

70's Dimension


Time Warp!

Here's a media-archaeological treasure trove of 16mm commercials, PSA�s, and TV ephemera from that delirious decade of polyester and smiley faces. From the classic iconography of the Marlboro Man to the absurd pitches for Jack LaLanne's "Glamour Stretchers", this outrageously retro review of funky, clunky clips offers more than campy fun. In fact, it allows us precious insight into a lost, impossibly innocent world of fondly remembered looks,
styles, and attitudes, from way back in the good ol' 20th Century.

70s Remix
Curated by Craig Baldwin and Noel Lawrence

The B-side of our disc is an amazing display of "recombinant" editing and audio design. Six of today's savviest celluloid scavengers take disposable industrial and educational films, and recycle them into uncanny collages, from the ridiculous to the sublime.



Street Trash



In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways -- Fred (MIKE LACKEY) and his young brother, Kevin (MARK SFERRAZZA), live in a tire hut in the back of a vast auto wrecking yard.
Life is hard for these two, but by far the most lethal threat to the boys is the case of Tenafly Viper in Ed's liquor store widow. Ed found the cheapo wine behind a wall in his basement. The stuff's forty years old, and its gone bad... real bad! Anyone who drinks it melts within seconds! And it's only a dollar a bottle!! The bums are lining up for their deaths like moths at a flame, and Fred is standing right there among them.

STREET TRASH is the subversive cult classic horror-comedy that rode the last wave of super-gore in the late '80s before the curtain fell on such outrageous material and we entered an era of safe, 'R' rated horror flicks and endless, unoriginal remakes.


Dark Backward


A man pursues stand-up comedy encouraged by his fellow garbage man. Though his friend, who accompanies him on accordion, continues to tell him how great he is, he actually stinks. When the "comedian" grows a third arm out of his back, the friend uses this twist to get him signed up with a sleazy talent agent, and it begins to look like his career is on the move, even though his girlfriend has left him.

VICE GUIDE TO TRAVEL


Oldie but goodie
The VICE GUIDE TO TRAVEL is the first installment in VICE magazine’s new DVD series. The series will feature short documentaries arranged around a different theme.

For this edition we went to the kinds of places that nobody else wants to visit. We traveled to the corners of the world where news is happening, the forgotten locales where strange people and stories lie and where history is being made every day. This is the VICE idea of a vacation.

THE CRITERION COLLECTION: This Is Spinal Tap


Rob Reiner’s directorial debut has developed into a cult phenomenon. The film that invented the “rockumentary” has now outlasted most of the bands it mocked. Following the ill-fated American comeback tour of an aging heavy-metal group, this film has joined the ranks of the greatest comedies ever made.

THE CRITERION COLLECTION: Royal Tenenbaums


Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston) had three children—Chas, Margot, and Richie—and then they separated. Chas (Ben Stiller) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the ninth grade. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior champion tennis player and won the U.S. Nationals three years in a row. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Wes Anderson’s hilarious, touching, and brilliantly stylized study of melancholy and redemption.

THE CRITERION COLLECTION: Bottle Rocket


Wes Anderson first illustrated his lovingly detailed, slightly surreal cinematic vision (with cowriter Owen Wilson) in this visually witty and warm portrait of three young misfits. Best friends Anthony (Luke Wilson), Dignan (Owen Wilson), and Bob (Robert Musgrave) stage a wildly complex, mildly successful robbery of a small bookstore, then go “on the lam.” During their adventures, Anthony falls in love with a South American housekeeper, Inez (Lumi Cavazos), and they befriend local thief extraordinaire Mr. Henry (James Caan). Bottle Rocket is a charming, hilarious, affectionate look at the folly of dreamers, shot against radiant southwestern backdrops, and the film that put Anderson and the Wilson brothers on the map.

Forgotten Silver (Peter Jackson)



In 1995, director Peter Jackson paid a visit to his mother's next-door neighbor and made a shocking discovery that would change the course of film history forever. Here, Jackson would begin to unravel the astonishing legacy of Colin McKenzie, the greatest unknown cinema genius of all time.

Through archive photos, rare film footage and interviews with such experts as critic Leonard Maltin, producer Harvey Weinstein and actor Sam Neill, Jackson and co-director Costa Botes uncover the trials, triumphs and tragedies behind this pioneer's brilliant life and career. These startling achievements include McKenzie's invention of the steam-powered projector, movie sound, color film and pornography, as well as the monumental discovery and restoration of the massive biblical epic that would ultimately destroy him. Nearly 70 years later, his talent can finally be told: This is the truly remarkable-though not entirely true-story of Forgotten Silver.
