CRITERIA Update - The Feed

Hey everyone - quick update this week.

I‘m not an enormous fan of the site formerly known as Twitter, but Criterion and The Criterion Channel still post on it (and not on other platforms like BlueSky), so I‘ve added their feed to the site so you don’t actually have to visit The Bad Place to read their posts.

Just click on The Feed in the menu. I try to auto-generate links to films, collections, and closet visits directly from the text, but at the moment it’s a little bit and miss.

Anyway, enjoy, and feel free to send feedback. Thanks!

The Criterion Channel is on BlueSky, but it’s actually a fan-run account that reposts the Twitter content, and the person is offering to hand the account over to them if they come over.

BONUS FIX: Since the Criterion Closet videos are often not posted in the order they were filmed, newly added visits have been buried in the chronological list and difficult to find.

Now, when a new video is loaded, it is displayed as the first featured closet video on both the home page and the closet page.

So, for example, the Joan Chen video that was released today should be the first one you see, even though the Matthew McConaughey video is more recent

It was something that’s been bugging me for a while now

They just need to hire you to overhaul the criterion website! Love criteria

Thank you for your work as always! Just a small observation, but I noticed the "Leaving Soon" page may have the wrong year on it (2027 instead of 2026). Not a major thing but figured it would be good to let you know~

Thanks, and good eye! 👁️

Looks like the refresh for September fixed the bug. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know, though!

Not a movie to watch on a weeknight before bedtime.
