Who's Blogging Now?
The empty space at the left below has been bothering us, and we've decided it's the perfect place to put our new blog. The first entry is already posted here, but our web designers had some sort of connectivity catastrophe, so it looks like it won't appear on our front page until tomorrow. Watch the empty space for more...

Twice-weekly criterion news for us!? I am so happy =P~CC Blog wrote:It's not that I want to go back. But I do want to make sure that we don't lose track of the fact that we're a small company doing something we believe in, and that we're lucky enough to have an audience of people who care. That's who this blog is for.
I'm a modest man but I would love an official nod of approval for the dungeon (we really need a *waits with antici--------pation* emoticon).

Wouldn't it be nice if they were to include Criterionforum.org as one of the Links on that blog?
I suspect Becker would lose not only his audience but perhaps also his enthusiasm to post!
P.S. OK, so I'm flattering with my last statement but it'd be nice to see an official nod for this mighty forum someday...

Maybe it's too subtle, but Becker seems to be hinting that Mulvaney will be unmasked eventually.Ishmael wrote:the fact that they're still trying to palm off Jon Mulvaney as a real person
Anyway, I, for one, support the new era of Criterion Glasnost. Mr. Becker, open this gate! Mr. Becker, tear down this wall!In the past, we've mostly communicated with our customers through Jon Mulvaney, the company's legendary second-oldest employee. Maybe I'll write more about him another time, but I know that Mulvaney has been a hit-or-miss correspondent over the years.

Ah, quite a clever interpretation. You may be right. However, this raises the question of why they would abandon such an invaluable customer service creation--he was indeed a legend, as well as a role model for millions of young Americans. Then again, maybe he represents the old Criterion, the one with the pipe, the glasses, and the book tucked under its arm. The new Mulvaney will be Matt Lipson, who will arrive on a skateboard looking curiously like Bart Simpson and talking like one of the guys from Kicking and Screaming.Matt wrote:Maybe it's too subtle, but Becker seems to be hinting that Mulvaney will be unmasked eventually.

I agree that Criterion is wanting to ditch the stuffy old Robert Osborn-esque interpetation or Mulvaney for a more hip myspaceish type image. In fact I have it on good authority that the new Mulvaney will taste a little something like this...Ishmael wrote:Ah, quite a clever interpretation. You may be right.

Costumer - a person who makes, sells, or rents costumes, as for theatrical productions.Theodore R. Stockton wrote:The only thing worse than being made fun of is asking why you are being made fun of. Matt, I don't get it?I bet Criterion's costumer service was really busy this past week.
Customer - a person who purchases goods or services from another.
A simple mistake.

It seems as if the Blogger (née Blogspot) edition is just a stopgap until the web wizards at Criterion figure out how to host the blog on their own page. I wouldn't bother trying to set up an RSS feed (and Blogger doesn't automatically create them; you'd have to do it yourself through something like FeedBurner).tasog37 wrote:So, has anybody figured out how to get an RSS feed out of this yet?
Poking around for a url, I found this but haven't had any luck beyond that.

I've chosen to believe that the blog is an answer to my previous call for a little Kriterion Kumbaya (you know Poochie would spell it with a 'K').Matt wrote:Anyway, I, for one, support the new era of Criterion Glasnost. Mr. Becker, open this gate! Mr. Becker, tear down this wall!
