Okay, that’s an exaggeration, there’s a lot more going on over there, but Criterion Channel will be streaming 7 Elvis movies on their channel in July. This is a big deal. Elvis gets no love from film people, as I have said a bazillion obnoxious times, so it’s exciting this is happening! I’m glad they’re streaming Wild in the Country, not enough people know it. More to come along those lines, but in the meantime, here’s the trailer Criterion launched for their series. I love the song they chose to accompany (from Jailhouse Rock, a song Elvis sings I think three times in that film, and different each time). It’s an unexpected choice but perfect. Listen to the lyrics.
