      I used to think this was just a library-type arrangement and they were renting all they wanted. Now I'm not sure if they're buying them or Criterion is generous enough to give them these titles for free.

      The translation is not exactly accurate, though.
      He says 頂いていきますmany times in this video, which was subtitled several times as “thank you very much”. But the Japanese phrase actually means “I’m gonna take this one” in somewhat polite manner.

    I love it when someone takes a bunch of stuff. I just feel like they are so into film and that they just cant help themselves when presented with the opportunity to be a kid in a candy store so to speak. It really speaks to the love of film that need and that want to just grab a bunch of amazing films.
