REPO-MAN!

Latest clue from the newsletter:

https://i5.createsend1.com/ei/r/84/E...acky_movie.jpg

The file name is "wacky movie". If I had to venture a very abstract guess (and it's probably me grasping at straws), I'd go with Mulholland Dr. It features a movie-within-a-movie, and also has a blue box as a very important plot device. However, I'm sure someone will have a much better/less abstract guess than mine.

(Looks like I was beaten to the punch!)

Hmmmm......should I keep my MOC import in a very cool SteelBook or go for the Criterion? -confused-

Interesting. I'm guessing that the other MoC Universal releases will probably find their way into the Criterion Collection at some point.

Lifeboat, The Lost Weekend, Touch of Evil and Double Indemnity would be great! :thumbsup:

What? What the hell is the intention of that now?

I've never seen the film or had heard of it till Criterion first talked about it, so the actual scene itself is unknown to me. But...what does that mean now? To the film?

Yes, a Criterion ToE would be fantastic.

I've still got my old AB tin for Repo Man. I'll have to rewatch it to determine if it's worth upgrading. Haven't watched it in years.

Wonder if they'll upgrade WALKER to Blu or get SID AND NANCY back into the collection...

And do an ECLIPSE of his other pictures...

I'm amazed at how good people are at recognizing little things like that from movies. I've seen Repo Man but would have never guessed.

That was one of the little gags that I always caught every time I watched it.

I've got the MoC steelbook for the movie already, but I might double dip, depending on how the Criterion extras and transfer are. I'm interested to see if any of the other Universal MoC titles get Criterion releases (Two-Lane Blacktop was obvious; I would suspect Universal wouldn't let go of releases like Touch Of Evil or Double Indemnity, but what about Rumble Fish or Silent Running?)...

It's too bad they haven't exactly jumped at the chance to release them either.

Wasn't Double Indemnity rumored to have been released this year at some point? I'm disappointed Universal didn't release more Golden Age classics for their 100th anniversary.

LPMA 12-21-12 02:17 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I'm pretty sure it was rumored.

Here is Criterion's New Year's drawing hinting at upcoming releases for 2013:

Seeing a guy off a clock makes me wish they'd release Keaton's stuff.

Sondheim 01-01-13 11:31 AM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
The guy on the clock is the other silent comedian, Harold Lloyd (in Safety Last.)

So now they seem to have rights to the Chaplin and Lloyd films, while Kino has Keaton.

Solid Snake 01-01-13 11:55 AM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Yeah. Wish they'd get Keaton's stuff. I'm not really impressed w/ Kino's work on some things.

I am happy w/ CC getting uh....CC and now HL.

Can't have enough of those classics.

LPMA 01-01-13 12:07 PM

Do we think the apartment complex refers to something? Kinda like the traffic jam last year was for Weekend?

Solid Snake 01-01-13 12:11 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
It's the CC version of Dredd or The Raid.

PopcornTreeCt 01-01-13 12:34 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Or better The Apartment with Jack Lemmon.

Why So Blu? 01-01-13 12:44 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Repo Man is in there, too.

There's also a suggestion that it could be Polanski's The Tenant.

That would have been my guess too.

I'd love to see the building be a hint towards The Tenant. :up:

MGM's Blu-ray is largely fantastic, so I personally doubt that.

The cover art leaves a lot to be desired.

The leaves falling with music notes is Autumn Sonata, and Babette's Feast is the answer to another clue apparently.

I'm in for both of those!

LPMA 01-01-13 05:05 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Babette's Feast is for the same clue that could also be Naked Lunch. I don't know anything about either film, but it sure looks like a 'naked lunch' to me.

Neil M. 01-01-13 05:28 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I'm guessing the bottom right window is La Cage aux Folles, Le Samourai, and Chaplin's The Kid. MoC is releasing Gate of Hell so that one seems pretty obvious.

Why So Blu? 01-01-13 05:37 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I own the Repo Man MOC Blu-ray and am anxious to see how CC will improve on that edition. Repo Man MOC Blu-ray went on my top Blu-ray list.

I'm totally up for a blu of 'Safety Last'
