The Coen Brothers Movie Collection --> 11/06/07
Looks like Universal has lost the rights to Blood Simple...curious.
Here's to hoping that Fox decided to remaster Raising Arizona into anamorphic...but I doubt it.
Clearly out to score a buck or two off the release of the spectacular-looking No Country For Old Men which comes out on the 9th.

I'll buy it cause I'll buy anything a) that is Coen and b) that shrinks the size of my collection in any way. Certainly this will be either thinkpaks or a digipak thing...

I saw No Country last weekend at the NYFF.... if you liked the 3rd act of Blood Simple, you are going to love this.

Any idea if Blood Simple will be rereleased as a single disc? I already own Fargo and Miller's Crossing, and Barton Fink and Raising Arizona do nothing for me.

I only own Fargo from this set and I'm a huge fan of Joel & Ethan Coen movies. I hope that these are remastered, but suspect that none will be. I will plan to buy the set anyway....

I went in the back and found the set at my Best Buy today on my break. It's thinpaks, it does appear to be the existing releases, and like every Fox release I can't be 100% positive because it doesn't tell you whether the releases are anamorphic. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
The new Blood Simple cover is weird. It's aqua blue and it's a set of lips horizontally at the bottom with smoke coming out up through the title, which also notes it as the Director's Cut.

Discs are identical except for Blood Simple which has no features (and no intro).
Ironically in the worst way, as everyone knows Fox fails to identify their releases as anamorphic or non anamorphic, just listing the ratio on the back. Well, the first release in some time with a notation for such enhancement is Raising Arizona, which INCORRECTLY notes the film as being 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. The worst part about all this is that Arizona, like all the films in the set, have a brand new cover, because these are thinpaks -- the artwork is the same but it has still been newly modified, and Arizona is THE ONLY title in the set to note anamorphic enhancement, which is terrible because of course it ISN'T anamorphic and all the other films ARE.
In conclusion, fuck you Fox.
