I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they did that.

The region 4 special edition is awesome. Great transfer, dts, Lee Tamahori commentary, making of and more.

and its not 1.33; it is widescreen

Since Sony is being ass-holish about not releasing 'The Witchfinder General' maybe Criterion and the restoration production team should talk the negotiating talks.

Maybe they could do negative numbers. :)

:lol: Loving that idea. :up:

The director's cut of FROM BEYOND will premiere on the MOSTERS HD channel the first week of June 2006 before its dvd release from Sony/MGM.

yeah I already posted that news in the From Beyond thread.

the criteri-cult collection presents: "manos" - the hands of fate!
 

because hal warren's oft-misunderstood gem of feces deserves to be experienced by all who have an interest in filmmaking...
especially if you want to know what not to do!
not to mention its about time we get a complete print on dvd (you hear that, alpha? you payin' attention, quenty?).
furthermore, a little background info on the storied history of this film could perhaps be of service to those who've simply written it off as crap.

and while they're at it, maybe we can get a reissue of "salo" for r1, hopefully utilising the gaumont transfer (a revelation, to be true!).

yes. salo and manos. wanna come over for dinner at my place sometime?? hahahhahaha~!

Any news on this rumor?

there's an indication that one of the films in this collection might be Goke: Body Snatcher from Hell the print that TCM aired morning had the Janus logo before the feature.

Confirmation:

If I'm going to try out this new line, I hope that these 'cult' movies are reasonably priced (and this from the owner of a complete Criterion collection who shells out high prices every month). I was sorely disappointed in Equinox and discovered that B sci-fi horror movies did not warrant over a $15 price tag.

As always, I'm open to new movies and genres but within financial reason...

An interview in Cahiers du Cinema with Criterion's Fumiko Takagi indicates that the Eclipse line won't be cult titles as much as a replacement for HVE releases, i.e. no-frills, cheaper titles.

Yeah, it supposedly won't be just cult titles, but titles where they have no extras, or very little extras, that they want to release on DVD. From what I've heard, they will be at a cheaper rate then standard Criterion titles.

so basically they are picking up where HVE left off before the murge with Image.
