Outdated DVD packaging
 

I love those old checklists, it happens to me with old Blue Underground DVDs too. "Upcoming: Salon Kitty on DVD"

Way OT: The funniest outdated thing I ever found inside a DVD case was in a copy of Ang Lee's Hulk I acquired from a DVD swapping site. Bless the previous owner(s), for they left in a Visa credit card promotion where you could get a credit card with the Hulk on its face. Alas, the expiration date was nearly a decade old. I still wonder who would have taken up that offer. The film was not a success, so I can't imagine it having the same effect as, say, Dark Knight credit cards (like Joker, banks "don't care about money", right?).

Off topic, man, I wish this and Flesh For Frankenstein would come back into print and get a blu-ray.

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

Where are the rights w/ those two?

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

I'd like to know, as well. I talked to Paul Morrissey at a Blood for Dracula screening he presented maybe 15 years ago. It's stunning how good a movie he produced when you understand that, over the entire course of production, he was staying up all night, every night, writing the pages he would shoot the subsequent day. :eek:

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

The last time they were released on DVD Image put them out, so I would guess Image is the current rights holder.

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

There were reissued on DVD by Image Entertainment in 2005. They were pretty easy to find... okay, looks like those have gone out of print. I just checked Amazon though and they have Image's Flesh For Frankenstein for $9.11. And yes, Image's DVDs are anamorphic, not matted (and they ported over Criterion's audio commentary).

---Hmm, I just checked Image Entertainment's web site. They still list Flesh For Frankenstein, but Blood For Dracula doesn't turn up. So maybe they only currently have the rights for Frankenstein?

DVD....*sigh* C'mon CC. Stop losing your stuff. You want my money. Keep your stuff. RIP The Third Man...man, I love that BD.

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

Any idea why Amazon doesn't have the latest batch up for pre-orders yet? I feel it comes faster than this normally.

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

even though an import edition has been released - I really hope Criterion releases 'The River' here in the States soon - please oh please

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

Aren't you going to get them from B & N during the summer 50% sale?

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

I'll pre-order them *just* in case of an odd price-drop like Anatomy of a Murder, but I also want to budget them as part of June (I have an odd way of doing things sometimes) so that I can spend more on old releases in July.

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

I can't wait for the sale.

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

I plan on picking up 39 Steps, Lean/Coward, The Gold Rush, Harold and Maude, Summer Interlude, Summer with Monika, and whatever I'm interested in from the April titles.

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

I'll be getting Being John Malkovich, La Haine, Harold & Maude, The 39 Steps, Shallow Grave and Gold Rush for sure. Then I have to decide on what older titles I want to catch up on.

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

Watched THE WAR ROOM over the weekend and thought it was great. Probably one of my all-time favorite docs.

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

^
Naturally, Netflix doesn't carry the Blu-ray. I'm surprised they even offer the DVD, as they've ceased stocking new Criterion releases almost entirely.

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

Criterion put this up on their youtube channel. Are they putting this on BD anytime soon?

^ I'd kill for this and The Hit.

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

Eddie Coyle would be great. I have the DVD but would consider upgrading.

There is just too much desirable stuff coming out these days. Each Criterion sale, I mean to catch up with older releases (and I usually do buy a couple), but there are always a bunch of newer titles I really have to grab. So it goes...

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

I dearly hope so, but the DVD was released not very long ago, so they may just be catching up. I still don't know why they didn't release it on BD when the DVD came out.

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

Right. It came out when they were releasing Blu-rays. Seems odd.

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

There are a few titles like that, including Z and L'enfance nue, though the former was supposed to be receiving an HD upgrade at one point and the latter was (I believe) their last DVD-only mainline title other than Louie Bluie, which was inexplicably given its own release instead of being included as an extra on Crumb.

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

I wonder if the DVD that Netflix carries is even the Criterion disc. I have a DVD of The War Room that's more than 10 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the one Netflix has or another earlier release.

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

DVD Beaver on Late Spring - Criterion have repaired the scratches that were on their SD release and the BFI Blu-ray.

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

I just noticed this on Criterion's website:

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

If only that were true, I'd probably add another film to my Blu-ray library this film.

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

I wish it could be real. I'd get it.

on a serious note....Criterion does know they'd have a cash cow out of Good Burger right? Just release it, CC. Just make it true.

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

I would love to have a CC Blu-ray of Kindergarten Cop!

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

haha, commentary by Hillary Clinton

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

I would have purchased their fake C.H.U.D.

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

Okay, I laughed at this:

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

Why is it that April Fool's Day stuff like this ends up being cooler than any of the "real" stuff?

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

Turns out Kurosawa even visited the set:

Would have been much better than the Image "Midnight Madness" release...

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

Ooh, I have one of their Director's Signature Series as well...

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

Where's the director-approved Ivan Reitman signature?

Has anyone heard of anyone having problems with the new A Night to Remember Blu-ray? My father said it stopped playing right as the iceberg arrived. I directed him to Mulvaney's email to get a replacement disc. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if this is an isolated incident. No one on Amazon was complaining about any glitches.

Thanks.
