Has anyone been in contact with Jon Mulvaney recently? After getting a same-day reply (On Thanksgiving evening, no less) saying he would look over something for me in the next week, I haven't heard back. Two follow-up emails have also gone unanswered.

I sent an email about the faulty Blu-ray in the Three Colors Trilogy and never got a reply, but then this week I received an email saying that the corrected version was available. So, I'm not sure what the issue is.

^ Criterion also acknowledged a problem with Carlos, and promised a replacement program.

Yep, I included that in my email as well. I was a bit worried about the lack of response until I got the email about the Three Colors replacement program. I especially like that I'm getting a $10 credit at the Criterion website for my troubles.

Is there any way to check Three Colors rapidly to see if mine also has the same issue?

The problem is only on the movie White. Here's a description of the issue; credit to poster "vauba" at highdefdigest.com:

"...the audio is 2.0 surround, not stereo. Meaning it is meant to be played with pro-logic turned on to create the surround mix from two channels. (It says to turn on pro-logic in the liner notes). Blue and Red definitely sound like proper surround mixes, but on White I am only hearing one channel. I put my ear right up against my other speakers and couldn't hear a peep. That would happen if the two audio channels are identical, which would be an error with the disc."

So put your receiver in pro-logic mode and start White. If you only hear mono sound, you have the problem. Personally, I'd bet all the sets have the problem now, because this didn't come out all that long ago and they may not have done another pressing yet.

If you don't have surround sound and just listen through your TV speakers, the issue may not be obvious.

Thanks for the info! It actually made me realize I had set-up issues because I was getting 2-channel sound from all 3 movies and I couldn't turn Pro Logic on. I figured the issue out and White is only going through the center channel now. I'll be sending them an email.

Guess I need to send an email about Carlos as well. What's the issue there? I haven't gotten around to watching mine yet.

DVD Beaver on Moment of Truth

That's very cute.

ha. holy shit that's kind of cool actually.

That is f'n awesome!

Need to email Mulvaney re: Carlos & White

oh shit. not a fan of those in my cases...but fuck..that's badass.

Have they confirmed that they have the Carlos replacement discs available?

Question: If they're using the most current G form for the G BD....do they have access to more than just Gojira? Cuz...if they got more showa....that'd be badass. It'd personally be be very cool if the Heisei was w/ CC. But...that might not be up their line in terms of their personal taste. Just seemed weird for them to use the most current G w/ this being the 1st G.

So I sent an email regarding the THREE COLORS TRILOGY issues, but never got a response with information about a replacement program or credit. Is there a page with details on this replacement program, or is this a situation where I need to wait for a direct response? Never had any trouble with any of my Criterion discs before this, so its uncharted waters in my case...

I'm not aware of a page about this. I received a direct email about it.

Can anyone translate?

That Godzilla case is f'in sweet.

New titles announcement on Friday. Seems pretty quick.

Do they have access to more Godzilla films?

Not likely. Toho is an absolute bitch about licensing their films. Godzilla vs. Megalon has been almost ready to release for over a month, but is being held up because Toho thinks Media Blasters may have included too many stills in the extras section.
