Popping in for some Wes Anderson news...

Nothing.

Sigh. Carry on.

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

See you in 2014 Gizmo.

I think Devil's Backbone is at the top of my want list from Criterion this year.

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

The Decalogue? It revolved around an apartment complex, and there seem to be about 10 other clues. I'm not sure exactly how many.

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

There are 9 stories in the building and in Short Cuts.

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

I'm guessing Man on Wire will get a Criterion release... it sort of seems like a Chaplin in suggested by this too. Otherwise, I can't think of anything.

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

Yes, but I think it's set up to be both films. The food works for both obviously, and being naked is for Naked Lunch and it's a female that has hair like Babette.

Dekalog would be nice, but there are only 9 "stories" in the building and it doesn't look like the same type of apartment building.

Anything in this drawing to hint at Shivers?

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

I read that, according to Alex Cox, Criterion has licensed all the same extras from the MOC release, including the TV cut. I'm speculating that it'll more or less be the same as the MOC release.

Now I have the MOC release (in steelbook, no less), but I might be tempted to grab the Criterion release, even if it ends up being the same, just so I have better freedom to play it (MOC's release is region locked; while I have a region free player, none of my friends do, so if I wanted to bring it over to watch, I'd need a Region A release).

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

Good to know. I'd get just because I'm a CC collector anyway. Thanks for the info.

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

I believe it's refering to Pierre Etaix's Yoyo.

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

Really, Gizmo? There's like one Wes Anderson movie not already on Criterion Blu-ray and that's not "progress" enough for you?

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

Don't feed him after midnight.

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

I think he's waiting for the Life Aquatic blu. I hope he's not holding his breath for a Mr. Fox release.

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

Is the clown on a high wire La Strada?

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

Possibly. I think it's probably Yoyo.

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

I wonder if it might refer to multiple movies, possibly including Chaplin's The Circus.

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

Eraserhead Criterion Blu-ray?

:bdance:

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

Criterion tweeted yesterday about liking the cover art of a new edition of the 1984 book. I'd love to see it released!

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

The '84 film was recently taken off Netflix streaming. Maybe they're planning a dual release with the '56 version.

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

Does Criterion release their upcoming titles on the 3rd Monday of each month or are they just running behind a bit this month?

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

It's usually on the 15th of each month unless it's a weekend.

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

whisperings of a blu-ray upgrade for Band of Outsiders and the release of Devil's Backbone being announced today.

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

Are you two talking about the movie of Orwell's 1984 or something else?

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

I was talking about Orwell's book, and referring to the 1984 adaptation. I think the subsequent poster suggested they could have a dual release of the '56 and the '84 adaptations.

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

There has been a lot of talk about the new 1984 cover. I don't think that necessarily means Criterion will be releasing it. I'd love it if they did though.

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

Wow, I would love either or both of those.

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

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

Repo-man for sure!

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

REPO-MAN and NAKED LUNCH for me!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

that REPO-MAN cover is awesome!

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

Meh.

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

I'm excited to rent the Etaix set. His films are apparently pretty great, but up until now they've been completely unavailable outside of theatrical screenings.

This kind of set - which apparently contains his entire filmography - is exactly the kind of thing I love seeing from Criterion.

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

Repo Man will also have the "cleaned up TV version", what is that?

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

The broadcast television version.

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

Masters of Cinema also included it on their release. Here's their description of it:

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

This is for April, right?

edit: Thanks

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

Yes, these are their April releases.

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

Same!

Actually, I was hoping for the generic type cover; the white with the blue band.

Hopefully it'll be a double-sided, reversible cover with that on the other side.

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

Holy hell, what a fantastic month! The Repo Man is a bit ... green but I like it.

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

May blind buy Repo Man.

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

I need to see Repo Man.
