We don’t know the bigger picture on this though. I doubt George was even texted on this one.
And I seriously doubt Criterion would touch the SE unless they could include the original version as well. If any company respects film fans, it’s them.
Oh, I know George wasn’t involved in this latest decision (he is out of the picture fortunately), but it is his legacy that lead to it.
So, I repeat…
“F*** you, George!”
