re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm very much looking forward to Lonesome - beautiful cover, and nice to see a commentary included, as Criterion seems to be skimping in that department lately. I'll rent the rest.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
On closer examination, the Lonesome disc is stacked, and includes two additional full-length films:
- New digital restoration, featuring uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition - Audio commentary featuring film historian Richard Koszarski - The Last Performance, director Paul Fejos’s 1929 silent starring Conrad Veidt, with a new score by Donald Sosin - Reconstructed sound version of Broadway, Fejos’s 1929 musical - Fejos Memorial, a 1963 visual essay produced by Paul Falkenberg in collaboration with Fejos’s wife, Lita Binns Fejos, featuring Paul Fejos narrating the story of his life and career - Audio excerpts about Broadway from an interview with cinematographer Hal Mohr - PLUS: A booklet featuring essays by critic Phillip Lopate and film historian Graham Petrie and an excerpt about Lonesome from Fejos’s autobiography |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Rosetta and La Promesse are both light on features and both at $39.95 MSRP. Kinda disappointing considering the AI disc comes with both movies and can be had for far less. I know it's DVD and not Blu-ray but still. Both these titles should be $29.95 MSRPs unless they add more features.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
In for La Promesse for sure. I'll probably get The Royal Tenenbaums but it's my least favorite Wes Anderson film that doesn't have Zissou in the title.

Any month that includes Rosetta is a great month indeed!

So glad Criterion is releasing a recognizable movie. That's two sales from me this year. |

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
will pick up Tenenbaums, Lonesome, Rosetta (hell yes) and La Promesse. Need to look up Weekend and Quadrophenia.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm very excited for The Royal Tenenbaums. I can watch that film over and over.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
....I like Royal Tenenbaums...but goddamnit if I'm not desperate as fuck for The Life Aquatic with Steve Fuckin' Zissou. Love that movie so much.

Gizmo, shouldn't somebody be releasing the less mainstream movies? Or should movies with less than $100 million advertising budgets just be buried in the desert as far as you're concerned? We get that you don't think Criterion should release them- so, who should?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I imagine we would have been waiting a long time for a Mill Creek Blu-ray of Lonesome (including a commentary and two of the director's other films.)

And the name "Mill Creek" does not exactly instill thoughts of said films getting decent transfers either.
Now, Shark Tale... that's a movie I've heard of! |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
With a theme song by Christina Aguilera too. Isn't she that blonde judge on that show with the spinning red chairs?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Tenenbaums for me cause I'm a hipster! :banana:

HAS THE DAY FINALLY COME THAT WE CAN STOP HEARING MOANS ABOUT WHEN THIS OR THAT WES ANDERSON MOVIE WILL BE RELEASED?! Can it be true? |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Royal Tenenbaums on blu is the best news I've heard on here in a while. Been very anxiously awaiting that one.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
It's been far too long since the last Kurosawa announcement. Boo.

looks like On the Waterfront is coming to Criterion in the future!! |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
oh fuck yes!!!!!!
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
oh shit...
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'd give my left nut for a Kazan blu-ray box-set from Criterion.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod
On the Waterfront is one of my all time favorite movies. I will pre order this at once. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Damn....what a major coup for Criterion. This is arguably the greatest American film they have acquired.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I dunno. 12 Angry Men is pretty damn epic.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
It definitely will be one of their most important films, even if there are a number of American films in the collection that I enjoy quite a bit more (Night of the Hunter, Rebecca, Sweet Smell of Success, several movies by Chaplin, Sturges, Cassavetes, Sternberg, etc.)
On the Waterfront has never quite connected with me as much as several of Kazan's other films like Wild River and America, America, but it is undeniably a very important film, and it certainly has an amazing script and great acting. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I can't wait to see the features that will accompany it.
