If Criterion cut off DVDs they would be done within a year or so. That's probably a good 75% of the market (for Criterion) They don't make enough off Blu-ray.

Why, though, is maintenance of DVD releases seemingly off of your "looming disaster" radar while cutting internet streaming deals (also done to generate additional revenue) is not?

Blu-ray, well, it's no wonder the major are afraid to release catalog titles and have to pack a DVD and Digital Copy/UV Copy in with nearly every new Blu-ray release.

Its still the "highest quality" for people to cheap to spend $50 on a Blu-ray player. Streaming, however, slap in the face of what they do best. But if they need money...why not!

I'm sorry, Gizmo. I don't make these rules. That's just the way things are. :) |

Pretty much.
A Criterion film is like sex, even if it's bad, it's still pretty good. |

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Same answer dino88 gave on the previous page: Nothing official, most likely July as usual.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I posted some amongst all the arguing a few pages back, but I'll go with:
La Promesse Rosetta Lonesome Wenders set 2x upgrades Something Eclipse All hipster nonsense, of course. Of course, I'm being optimistic and hoping that this month will make up for the blandness of the last two or three months. |

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Hoping for Kurosawa. I've been hoping for Madadayo for..oh around two years now? It's the only one not released separately from the AK100 set, I mean come on!

Meh, only RT for me. Not really familiar with the rest.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
RT and QUADROPHENIA for me...
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Royal Tenenbaums! Hell yes!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Meh..nothing too interesting to me. Might pick up The Royal Tenenbaums.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Now that's a great month! A bit skewed toward modern releases, but three of the five titles have never been released on DVD in R1 - and the Fejos set more than makes up all the new stuff.
I've been dying to see Lonesome since I read a Jonathan Rosenbaum rave about it several years ago, but it has never been released on home video anywhere in the world. La Promesse is my second or third favorite film, and it'll be great to have it and Rosetta in HD. I heard great things about Weekend when it ran in theaters last year, so I'll definitely give that and Quadrophenia a rental. Lonesome and the Dardennes alone make this their best announcement in at least a year, imo. And it's good to see some good cover art from them again. |
