re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I didn't hate the cardboard cases like a lot of people, but I absolutely love the clear cases they're using now. :) If I could buy them in bulk (preferably in thinner versions), I'd replace ALL of the ugly blue cases I have. I haven't bothered to see if anyone sells them, though.

edit: looks like the cases come from Scanavo (model number CBR 101), but they're not listed on the Scanavo.com website, which makes me assume that they are custom made solely for Criterion. I'm tempted to contact Scanavo and see if they'd produce a "normal thickness" version... but I wouldn't be able to afford a large enough order to make it cost-effective. I can dream, though...

Well shit...I've only been putting off buying Grand Illusion since, well, the beginning. ;)

I was really hoping for an updated Alphaville also, good to know that R2 version is out there though.

I guess I don't understand how Criterion can lose the rights to these films.

I mean, is there really that much revenue/profit left in some of these titles for the rights holder to terminate Criterion's license??

Giles 02-03-10 10:21 AM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
^ it has something to do Studio Canal who owns the rights thinking that Lionsgate will do better than Criterion - HAH, fools!

Got my Third Man replacement case today. It was run over by a car from the tire print and the case and insert are completely destroyed. Ordered another replacement so I'm up to $10 so far on just a case for the movie. Sigh.

At least Pierott and Seventh Seal arrived from Amazon with no damage so some good news at least. I still want to pick up Bottlerocket, but I am waiting till I find it in the plastic case.

Criterion wouldn't send you another one for free??

Not really their fault. Thing was in a padded mailer and wrapped inside that with bubble wrap. It took complete incompetence by the post office to destroy it. I didn't even ask for a free replacement. I just sent them another $5.

I agree Criterion doesn't owe you anything, but you ought to try to get $5 from the post office, even if only to make a point.

D'oh! ...and I just ordered the MoC disc too...

Awesome to finally have Walkabout on the way, and I'm extremely excited about Stagecoach as well.

kefrank 02-12-10 11:39 AM

I guess I'll be the first to post who is excited about Brakhage! Love the cover art.

Not really feeling it on the Walkabout cover art, but nor do I really care. Can't wait to see it!

I'm glad we're getting M so soon after the MoC release. I was bummed that it was Region B.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I'm in for M and for Walkabout. If Brakhage drops to $20 I might consider that, too.

You're not kidding. There isn't a single title this month I'm not interested in...

darkside 02-12-10 03:38 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I'm already selling my DVDs of M and Walkabout in preparation, but Stagecoach is a must have as well. Can't wait.

Just wondering how Criterion got the rights to even release Stagecoach. Have they released a Warner property since the laserdisc days?

naitram 02-12-10 03:39 PM

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

I bet M is going to be sweet too.

TheDuke 02-12-10 04:27 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I'll definitely get Brakhage, maybe Walkabout.

PopcornTreeCt 02-12-10 04:39 PM

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

This is also the first announcement where all the titles announced are also on Blu-ray.

DonTHX1378 02-12-10 04:47 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Glad Stagecoach is coming at last and on blu to boot. May hang onto the two disc Warner edition just for the American Masters doc that's on disc two since I didn't think it would be ported over to the Criterion disc.

Also much like a previous poster mentioned: How did CC get this from WB?! Does WB not see a valuable release to cinephiles? I'm fucking ecstatic more so that CC has this!!!
