Re: Criterion Newsletter - June 2009
I'd really like to see Criterion bring "The Motorcycle Diaries" to me in a fantastic edition! I feel like Gael García Bernal gives an amazing performance in that film.

Is el Che.
I know many of you don't know Spanish, but yes, it confirms that El Che is coming from Criterion.

“Che” va a ser distribuida en devedé bajo el exclusivo sello del Criterion Collection. ¿Qué tipo de sorpresas o bonos especiales podemos esperar en esa edición?
–Tenemos un montón de escenas que no terminaron en la película que nos gustaría incluir. También una montaña de material investigativo que recopilamos: entrevistas en vídeo, documentos secretos que han sido revelados, material documental, en fin. Va a ser un enorme trabajo para alguien en Criterion, pero va a ser un disco fantástico. Me alegró mucho saber que se llegó a un acuerdo con Criterion porque son los mejores.

Commence drooling.
Just wanted to share this interview I did to Soderbergh regarding "Che". It's in spanish (sorry!) but the video after the third paragraph has him talking in English (please, excuse MY English). Hope you enjoy it.
One tidbit that didn't make the video, the DVD release of "Che" is going to be handled by the Criterion Collection and he told me they have TONS of extra material for it.
He told me they would first release it in a rental movie-only version at Blockbuster, and then at the end of the year the Criterion Edition would come out. He said they had a bunch of research material, interviews, documentary footage, declassified documents and a "mountain" of scenes that didn't make the final cut.

Re: Criterion Newsletter - June 2009
I assume Blu-ray is a given, which is nice since IFC didn't apparently plan of doing it themselves, although to me, this is kind of an unnecesary release. Hopefully they're brining some unavailable Soderbergh (Gray's Anatomy? Kafka?!) along at the same time to make it worthwhile.

Re: Criterion Newsletter - June 2009
I would assume it is selling quite well given how cheap they lowered the price. Cheap price + Popular film (and very recent) + Awards + Brad Pitt = $$$ for Criterion. I own it.

Guess I'll be the downer. I wish Criterion would stop wasting their time with movies that will get fine dvd releases elsewhere and start releasing stuff that is unavailable or at an extremely low quality level.

Re: Criterion Newsletter - June 2009
Do you think anyone else could the job that they did on the dvd any better? I don't think Paramount/WB would be that kind to the film. Yeah, there'd be some stuff but nothing like what Criterion does for it.
