re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
You know those plastic security tags stores put on DVDs and CDs? One of those was stuck on the face of the disc.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
wow. That sucks. How'd you miss it when you opened it up?
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I was paying attention to something else when I opened up the case and popped it in the player.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
You mean when you were peeling the ones off the case something happened and it got caught on the disc?
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
No, it came stuck on the disc. I didn't notice it was on the disc because when I opened the wrapping and the case I wasn't paying much attention.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I think TheDuke is referring to the security stickers that come on the case to prevent people from opening the case (that also says the movie title). I think Suprmallet is referring to the stickers that are many 0.33" x 1", and that have a magnet or a little electronics in them. That sucks, Suprmallet. Glad everything seems to be working ok.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yes, that's what I meant.

That is really weird, and REALLY annoying.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
wish we were getting THE FUGITIVE KIND on blu :(
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I say this a lot but...damn, it was good to get The Third Man when it was going OOP for Blu. One of the best damn Blus I have.

So true! I would think that Walkabout would be an eye popper; I kind of wish they had never mentioned it way back in the early announcement of upcoming Criterion blu disks, makes the waiting seem much longer. I think Walkabout is now the only one unreleased from that batch.
I bet Criterion lost the rights, like 'Ran' ;) |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Vivra sa vie!!!
One of my favorite movies ever, on Blu-ray too. Thank you Criterion. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I hope Criterion continues to pick up OOP Fox Lorber releases from director's like Godard and Truffaut. A lot of those films deserve the proper treatment, and on Blu-ray too. I'm especially hoping for more Truffaut though I am incredibly pleased by the news for Vivra sa vie.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yeah, we need more Truffaut. With directors like him Criterion would totally give the films the respect they warrant. Still can't believe CC lost the rights to Ran though...wtf, CC?
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
What I really want is for them to release Two English Girls.

StudioCanal also controls The Third Man and Contempt, and maybe it's not a coincidence that the former went out of print not too terribly long after we learned that Criterion no longer held the rights to release Ran and the latter never materialized. Maybe StudioCanal is getting better terms from Lionsgate, or some of these more prestigous titles were a condition of the deal with Lionsgate...? |

Also....uhm...considering how CC lost Ran, Third Man, and whatnot...I worry when Amazon no longer has a certain CC release. So....8 1/2 Blu-Ray is not available from Amazon atm. Are they just out or did something happen that we should know about? WAIT: Amazon has this on that page... Item Under Review While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!) We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
That is strange. I watched is this weekend and had no problems with it.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
No one knows what the problem with 8 1/2 BD is?
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
the bluray.com review for 'Ran' is not very flattering - one wonders what the image and audio would have been if Criterion had releaed their version and not Studio Canals via Lionsgate.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Since the Criterion's Ran dvd (upscaled) looks better than Lionsgate's blu-ray, it's a safe bet Criterion's blu-ray would look world's better.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
GAHHHHH!!!!!!! I really wish Criterion had the Blu. Let's hope they don't lose anymore Kurosawa.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yeah...since it's his centennial, we're sure to get a bunch of cool stuff this year. Yojimbo/Sanjuro and Seven Samurai are guaranteed...here's to more in 2010!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
That's why I said it was guaranteed. :) I pre-ordered that a month ago...looking forward to getting it on the actual 100th anniversary! :banana:
