cannot wait to get that!

Hot damn, nothing warms my heart more than Noir in HD. I may not be able to hold off until the November sale for Kiss.

DVD Beaver on People on Sunday

From the screencap comparisons he shows, I prefer the BFI.

I was surprised at how little apparent difference there was between the screencaps, but I'm sure the Criterion looks impressive in motion.

I'm sure it does...

if you look at the comparisons w/ the spoon it's obvious the BD is better...the other ones it's hard to tell. Wet brick looks sharper on the BFI...but again...if the bitrate is higher...it's got to look better when in motion. I meant bitrate is higher and better in terms of the BFI to the CC BD comparison specifically...

DVD Beaver on The Makioka Sisters

Edit: Yet another Criterion Blu-ray that Netflix doesn't carry. I've begun to despair of ever previewing a Criterion Blu-ray before buying.

From what I can tell, Blockbuster lists all of the Criterion titles, but there is some delay before the stock shows up on some of the recent titles, so I'm not sure if they will have it on the release date

Here is the link for Makioka Sisters:

I put my Blockbuster account on hold for the past month as the Dish Network deal works its way out, but in the past couple weeks, several recent Criterions have become available (previously listed as unavailable) including Yi Yi, Sweetie, Mikado, Kes, Topsy Turvy, Videodrome.

I'm planning on removing the hold in the next couple weeks to start renting some of these titles.

Thanks for the Blockbuster info, I may have to switch from Netflix!

Blu-ray.com review of Insignificance

Criterions will be announced this week! Anyone care to guess?

^
Barcelona
The Game

The Royal Tennenbaums
Rushmore

Not sure the point of guessing, but I can certainly dream.

City Lights please.

More Chaplin would be nice. Also..let's get more Wes Anderson BDs. I'd love to get Life Aquatic on BD.

BADLANDS
BRUTE FORCE
NOTORIOUS
BLUE VELVET
WILD AT HEART
LA HAINE
THE BLOB
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
THE LADY VANISHES
THE 29 STEPS
BRANDED TO KILL
THE HONEYMOON KILLERS
CARNIVAL OF SOULS
DO THE RIGHT THING
DEAD RINGERS
DOWN BY LAW
DOWNHILL RACER
...

you get the point

What are the chances of La Haine coming back considering the whole Studio Canal titles going OOP? Was there ever an official listing which were literally leaving?

I'm going to guess:

The Phantom Carriage
Badlands
Carlos
L'Avventura (upgrade)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (upgrade)
Picnic at Hanging Rock (upgrade)

La Haine never went out of print.

Ah..

and Life Aquatic!

I hope to god, but probably not.

I gave up on hoping for Weekend and Badlands announcements - if either of those are announced I will be insanely happy. I'd also love City Lights or any Chaplin for that matter.
