http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=2356
Thanks to the guys over at DVDManiacs for the heads-up! Sweeeeeet! |
awesome!
|
Wow! -eek-
|
Wow, chalk this one up for the last thing I expected to hear today. :up:
|
Article also mentions that Criterion is preparing a "DVD of George Franju’s LES YEUX SANS VISAGE (EYES WITHOUT A FACE)." :)
No release date for that one yet. |
Yum Yum
|
:up: certainly looking forward to this!

"Fear on Film, a half-hour roundtable discussion from 1982 between Cronenberg, John Carpenter and John Landis (all of whom were working on Universal horror films at the time), hosted by director-to-be Mick Garris"
"Samurai Dreams—the fake Japanese soft-porn film seen in the movie, presented in its entirety" Holy crap... sold! :thumbsup: |
Sweet!
|

Holy.. thanks for this news.. I am so surprised by it I am stunned!
Criterion :thumbsup: |
Good news, thanks. More Cronenberg for Criterion, cool!
It figures though , I bought the current version only a few months ago. :( |
Cronenberg = $ from my pocket, SOLD!
|
Nice news - thanks for the heads up!
|
excellent news! more money gone for me...
|
Wooohooo!!!
So glad I never picked up the current dvd,despite being so tempting. This is completey unexpected news to me,a total surprise. Wow,now I have something to really look forward to later this year. This will be mine on release day...+ with the other great genre titles being released. It will be quite a squeeze on my wallet,but oh well. Now the only thing that could possible make this fall more expensive,is if Paramount actually comes through on the Friday the 13th box set with 'some' uncut versions. Yet that is highly unlikely,so that set will be put on hold for no specified amount of time. I know where my $$$ will be going this fall...and its not Paramount,that is for sure;) |
I can't even count the number of times I've had the current version of this DVD in my cart, only to remove it just before checkout...I guess it was fate.
This is a MUST own. • Audio commentary by stars James Woods and Deborah Harry is reason enough for me to drool over this release. |
Sweet. I just bought Naked Lunch last saturday, and now we got this coming. The special features on this set sound great.
|
Wow. Absolutely great news, a favorite of mine. For some unknown reason I kept putting of the current release and I am damn glad I did. :drool: :drool:
Long live the new flesh! |
Yeah, this is because I got the current version a few months ago. :)
|
This is great news!!!!
|
Awesome...this is <u>so</u> going on my screener wish list!
|
Videodrome is a love/hate for me. There's a lot of amazing stuff in it but it's also a confusing and unpleasent film.
Though, I could see getting the Criterion. |

Videodrome Criterion
Excellent. I am stoked to hear this. Glad I waited. Somehow I just had a feeling about this one eventually coming.
|
I'll gladly double dip on this one! One of my favorite Cronenberg flicks. Great news...
|
I've had the original release of this ever since I've had a DVD player. It was the film that introduced me to Cronenberg, and I still think it's his best (well, tied with Dead Ringers).
One of my most cherished memories is seeing a double feature of this and Dead Ringers at the Egyptian in Hollywood, then seeing Cronenberg do a very stimulating and intelligent Q&A, and then talking to him for 15 minutes one-on-one afterwards. I am so happy about this. Thank you, Criterion, thank you! |

Great news! And what a set of extras. :up: Tim Lucas from Video Watchdog helped out with putting this together, here's what he said about it at the Mobius forum: "I've been working with Criterion on this VIDEODROME set and I have every confidence it's going to be outstanding. In addition to SAMURAI DREAMS (and possibly Masha's program APOLLO & DYONISUS, though they feel the quality of this may not warrant its complete use), the set is going to contain about five or six VIDEODROME segments, including much material not seen in the final film, such as the SAMURAI DREAMS actress turning up on the VIDEODROME set as a victim. I'm told that David Cronenberg got to see the rough cut of Michael Lennick's new production short last night and loved it. I covered the making of the film for CFQ and made a couple of visits to the set with two different photographers (one of them my wife, Donna) back in 1981. When they invited me to contribute, I shipped a large box to Criterion, containing thousands of previously unpublished slides (Barry Convex stuff like you wouldn't believe!), all my original on-set interview tapes, and the complete typescript of my unpublished book-length manuscript THE IMAGE BECOMES VIRUS: THE MAKING OF VIDEODROME. Criterion are still trying to assess how much of these materials they can use, though it's doubtful the book will appear in its entirety, as they don't do CD-ROM extras. But they have asked me to provide the text for the accompanying booklet, which will be partly derived from the manuscript and partly new." http://www.mhvf.net/forum/scifihorro...124259104.html I can't wait to get this. |
Happy and pissed at the same time because I bought this less than a month ago.

Videodrome was the very first DVD I ever purchased. This will be the sweetest double-dip of all time.
|
unfriggin' believable! who knew wow, I'll buy it.
|
Well, there was no question we'd see a Special Edition of this because I gave in and bought the current one back in January after waiting a year for a price drop which of course came 2 months later. -ohbfrank-
I know there are people just itching for to me to pick up the current Baron Munchausen. |
