I'm assuming La Jetee will be included again? Either way, it's an intriguing documentary/visual essay, but not one I feel the need to upgrade.

No need to upgrade and weren't we supposed to get Grin Without a Cat?

I greatly preferred La Jetee but I doubt I'll be upgrading it anytime soon.

That actually makes me more depressed that I can't get it during this sale.

*sigh*

I'm getting Fanny & Alexander and the Three Colors Trilogy, though, so I can't complain too much.

Rushmore from DVDBeaver

Interesting to see additional info on the right side.

I own probably about a dozen Criterion, but honestly...I am not seeing where the blu-ray is a huge improvement over the 50th anniversary dvd (which I own). It is certainly an improvement over the other dvd editions but not so much the 50th. Small improvement I'll go along with, but there isn't a real wow factor among the screenshots.

Plus, the blu-ray doesn't have the awesome commentary (but arguarbly makes up with a ton of other supplemental material) either which means I would have to keep the dvd (and I don't believe Criterion makes 2-disc blu cases ). I dunno, great movie, just not feeling this edition.

I thought that the grain was much more evident in the Criterion caps.

Why aren't any of the advanced reviews discussing the "directors cut"? I'm starting to think that was a mistake on Criterion's website and there have been no changes.

Looks sharpers that for sure. Skin texture is more evident as well. I'm loving it.

By no means as accurate as direct captures from the 50th Anniversary Edition scaled but the following are DVDBeaver's captures for it resized. Compare these full size to the full size BD captures and it should at least yield a more noticeable difference.

Any updates regarding Nolan's Following? I thought that was in the pipeline some time ago...

As was Y Tu Mama Tambien and a few other IFC titles.

Well, Y Tu Mama Tambien was hinted at in the big 2011 clue that Criterion sent out, although it seems it'll be sometime in 2012 (at the earliest).

Following hasn't been mentioned since that initial announcement. As much as I'd like to see it released, so that all of Nolan's films will be available on Blu-Ray, I don't imagine it's as high on Criterion's list as other releases...

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

So many sales have gone by where I've wanted to pick up Anatomy Of A Murder. But I've always held out hoping Sony would see the light and release this either on Bd or at least matted to the more traditional theatrical ratio (which has been the case with oversees DVD releases and where the framing looks to my eyes, much better).
The Criterion release will be very much appreciated.

I think it would made sense for Criterion to release Following around the summer release date for The Dark Knight Rises.
