Dazed and Confused (Criterion) -- June 2006 [merged]
I pulled this directly from another site, And I about dropped a nut when reading it!
How about we boycott the new 11/2 release that Universal is dumping out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Just to let you know - there has been some trouble with Universal regarding their upcoming release of the DAZED AND CONFUSED DVD. I feel like I'm in an 11-year echo chamber with these idiots. There was a cool disk in the works with extended interviews, Kahane Corn's documentary MAKING DAZED, footage from the reunion, etc. but it turns out that these won't be on it any longer because, after all these years, they're rushing the title out to make some sort of deadline. Because of this I will not be doing a commentary or helping with anything else.
I wanted everybody to know the scoop and that I am pushing Universal to license the title to the Criterion Collection in a year or so and they would put out a fantastic disk.
I am withholding doing any press on the Universal disk and will not be affiliated with it in any way because of their continuing lameness toward this title....

This is what the Universal website says:
-1.85:1 16x9
-English Dolby 5.1
-English DTS 5.1
-French 2.0
-English, Spanish, French Subtitles
-9 Deleted Scenes
-"The Blunt Truth"
-Retro Public Service Announcements
-Production Notes
-DVD-Rom material
Not bad... but I'l wait for CC's!

On the plus side, Universal has been very willing to license their movies out to Criterion: Last Temptation of Christ, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Do the Right Thing, Brazil.
I could see it happening, but wouldn't expect any movement until after this next release has shipped.

I got a chance to talk with Richard Linklater tonight, and I asked him if he had anything in the works with Criterion. He said that he'd talked to them earlier today about a planned release of Dazed and Confused, and that it was definitely coming. I asked him if he would be recording a commentary, and he said yes. According to him, you can expect the Dazed and Confused Criterion in July of 2006. He also said that there is a documentary airing on AMC this Sunday that we can expect to see on the Criterion disc. So, there's some good news for anybody looking for a solid release of this film.
As a side note, I also chatted with Robert Rodriguez a little, and he said that the "theatre audio track" on the upcoming Sin City SE (the recording from the Austin premiere) came out beautifully. So, for anybody doubting that nifty special feature, don't expect crying babies and ringing phones.

I want! Even if I currently own two different editions (I'll eventually unload the barebones... maybe to a friend). This is one of my favorite movies of all-time, so I'm more than excited for a Criterion Release. July is so far away.K

Dazed & Confused Criterion??? hmmm, I've already double dipped on this movie, but if the "Blunt Truth" is included on the Criterion they I will surely buy it yet again.
Blunt Truth = best dvd extra ever!

Great news on both releases, NatrlBornThrllr. Thanks. Were you speaking with Linklater at a screening of one of his films?

This is a heads-up for any other Dazed fans: tomorrow night on AMC they are showing the film. Afterwards, they have a 1 hr special called Making Dazed, which I have never heard of before. It sounds very interesting and a long time coming.

Simply out of procrastination, I never picked up the most recent release .... guess my negligence is being rewarded!
A Dazed & Confused Criterion. Wow, I never expected to see that.

I've been holding out for a true SE as it was well known Linklater was disappointed with Universal's Flashback edition. Nice to hear that a CC version is most likely enroute.

i had the following thought earlier today.
how cool would it be if a dazed CC was just the beginning of a criterion/linklater partnership? i would absolutely go nuts if somehow down the road a "before sunrise" CC was announced.

(Criterion and Linklater have already done a release together: Slacker. That was already the beginning.
