Those captures look gorgeous.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I sold my sealed DVD of Night to Remember in anticipation of the blu-ray, but the half.com buyer is saying that the disc is blank, and is returning it. Now I will be stuck with an opened copy that is worth much less if the disc ends up being okay. I'll still pick up the blu-ray though, since I had rented the DVD and loved it.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Sounds fishy to me...no pun intended. Probably ripped a copy and is now sending it back - or worse, is sending you back a blank disc with a copied label, and he kept the original for himself.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'ved owned an unplayable a Night to Remember before. It work when I first got it and a few years afterwards; it was unplayable. Probably disc rot and I wound up returning to CC for a playable disc so I think the buyer claim is legit unless like Shannon Nutt said: he totally swapped it for a DVD-r and relabeled it.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Thanks for the info. I had already replied to the buyer with Jon Mulvaney's email address and told him to request a replacement directly from Criterion, but instead the buyer submitted a return with half.com instead. I should be getting the disc back this week.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Same here. I think it was a reported problem with this disc. It sucks, but not much you can do about it

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

One could only hope. I really wish they could get their hands on 14, Zatoichi's Pilgrimage. From what I read Miramax owned the rights for a while and then they reverted back to Katsu's estate.

*Noticed 14 was on their Hulu channel. Hopefully this means they got the DVD/BR rights as well.

DVD Beaver on Brief Encounter

Nice to see new extras, I can't wait to buy the box in July.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

they have the 1st 18, I believe.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I have the David Lean set on pre-order with Amazon. $70 is pretty steep considering it will be available for $50 (or less) in July, but I figured if I get it now its monetary impact will be long gone and I'll be able to get more stuff in July.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

got my replacement 'Carlos' disc in the mail this afternoon.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Didn't get the email that those were done yet. I guess I'll go ahead and send in my disc for that and for White later this week.

Gold Rush finally?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Seems likely.

June announcements next week...we may know soon!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Hmm how do you get Gold Rush from this?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Or a BD upgrade for Downhill Racer. That JPEG looks more snowy than gold-laden. Any other chilly-mountain possibilities? (I'm not betting on The Eiger Sanction or Cliffhanger.)

(EDIT: Or what about a BD upgrade of Night Train to Munich? Swiss Alps...)

Btw, where does Criterion post these images? Couldn't find it in their Current.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

On facebook.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

DOWNHILL RACER would be awesome but i'm pretty sure it's GOLD RUSH

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Correct me if I'm wrong but The Kid and City Lights should surely follow at some point as well?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

...although, man! How amazing would a Criterion release of The Eiger Sanction be? I would cheerfully pay Criterion-money for a Blu-ray release if it had commentary by Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

North Face?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Cliffhanger...by Criterion. Yeah..it's not that. Though..wouldn't it be so goddamn badass if Criterion did great BDs of those fucking awesome action films we haven't been given a proper release of on the BD or DVD format? Predator, T1, T2, True Lies, etc. Man...I'd go apeshit if they did T2 and Predator. Granted...I'm just bullshitting w/ an idea that won't ever happen...

Blu-ray.com on Last Temptation of Christ:

Video doesn't appear as bad as some feared.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I wonder if the blurred out frames are still present in the baptism scene... (there's a few spots of full frontal nudity that were smudged out, similar to what they did for luke's speeder in the original ANH)

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Got my copy of Godzilla yesterday. Great set - not sure if this was already pointed out - but major fail on Criterion's part for using a Godzilla design from the early '00s for the pop-up. I don't know why they didn't use the suit featured in the original film.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Kind of a fun thing Criterion is doing here at SXSW - they're hiding BD's and DVD's all over town. Only problem is the entire wifi network is drained due to the influx of people here, so it's almost impossible to get a signal to see what the clues are.

We hid a bunch of Blu-rays and DVDs around Austin for #SXSW. Keep up on @foursquare: http://ow.ly/9zW3v

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Wifi network? Unlimited data.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Wifi, 3G, 4G, CB, you name it - it's all hosed within the 5 square miles downtown.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Reminds me of when I lived near downtown LA during the Democratic convention in 2000. My cel phone didn't work for a week, but the phone company denied there was any problem.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

fyi:

Cronos, Knife in the Water, Mala Noche, 400 Blows, Shadows are up to view w/o Hulu plus.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Yes, I made a note of this in my review which was published on Sunday.

New Criterion newsletter hint! (sorry can't post from phone) but I really wish it were referring to The Artist.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Umberto D.

Is tomorrow announcement day? If so, here are my guesses:

39 Steps
Shallow Grave
The Gold Rush
Grey Gardens
Weekend
Lonesome

That's probably too many English-language releases though.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Home Theater Forum says that the release date for Harold and Maude has been bumped back to June 12. Apparently no explanation has been offered.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Question: Was that the way it was in theaters? I'm assuming this had to run past Scorsese, no?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

That's even better. My favorite De Sica.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

According to a few readers, it was not blurred in theaters. Either way, I've already e-mailed John Mulvaney over at Criterion to see if he could shed some light on the situation for me.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

wishlist for today:

BRUTE FORCE
THE BLOB
THE 39 STEPS
EQUINOX
SISTERS
TWO-LANE BLACKTOP
