Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch is starting up a film company, Oscilloscope Lab's Oscilloscope Pictures. Go fig.
Get a feel for what's real by checking out his Top 10 list & comments from the Criterion Collection (hey, they're even selling his band's video anthology):
1. Seven Samurai -- C’mon, I gotta tell why this movie is good? You tell me!
2. Walkabout -- Saw this one when I was in junior high school and it stayed with me. Glad to see it in the collection.
3. Nights of Cabiria -- I don’t know what to write. I just love this movie.
4. Yojimbo -- I guess you have figured out by now that I am really not going to review any of the films that I picked.
5. Sanjuro -- But I do like the folks up at the Criterion Collection. Those are my people up in there.
6. Rushmore -- They are a really great team that’s into some bugged-out, esoteric shit.
7. And God Created Woman -- Peter is like the bigwig. He’s the head honcho.
8. The Harder They Come -- Susan has her ear to the street. She always looks for some interesting stuff to put out.
9. Rashomon -- When I was hanging out up there Heather was working on the audio. But now she switched over to some other department.
10. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou -- Sometimes I get free DVDs from Criterion, but not always. I wanted to get one of each, you know, like the whole collection, but they said, "No, Adam, we don't do that."
