"textContent": "About time for another Criterion Channel lineup. I’ll admit it, it’s been kind of a middling few months on the Channel, usually with at least one really exciting collection. I’m not sure May even has that one standout. Obviously the long-awaited Boston Crime collection is the answer here; until that day comes, it’s hard to complain too much. Still a cinephile’s delight.\n\nOK, let’s run it down. The first collection is **‘80s Remakes (and Their Originals)** which is at the least a clever idea. Everything from _The Thing_ and _The Thing from Another World_ to _Breathless_ and _Breathless_. I can’t say I’d go out of my way for most of these remakes, though — Carpenter being the clear exception. This feels more interesting as an exploration of how remakes can go wrong than anything else.",
