As much as I'm looking forward to seeing The Last Picture Show in 1080p not to mention Five Easy Pieces I think Marvin Gardens is going to be the first disc I spin.

I don't know why I bothered starting this thread, since it's unlikely to get much traffic on this board before the street date; just excited to see a genuinely underrated film get the Criterion treatment. -

DVD Savant also has a pretty good review:

It's a bit problematic if you already have a few of the films but, damn, the early 70s, eh? Before I was even born. I remember seeing most of the films on TV when I was a kid and thinking that they were boring and pointless, but I can appreciate them now.
Would make a good quintuple-bill with Dennis Hopper's Tracks, and Two-Lane Blacktop, and McCabe and Mrs Miller, although of course they weren't produced by the same company. -

Before anyone gets too romantic about early-70's film, take a look at Jamie Weinman's alternative hypothesis:
