Unless you plan on re-watching the shit out of it, why would anyone buy the movie-only edition of Blue is the Warmest Color?

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

No clue, mang.

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

Looks like the list price will be $24.95, so price might play into it.

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

To complete their CC collection.

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

Like Benjamin Button, it will be $5 eventually.

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

And I've never paid list price a day in my life for any movie. If it's list at $24.95 - it will be $14.95 - $19.95 via Amazon or CC's site.

There's an interesting link on Criterion's FB page.

Well frack me. John Huston was friends with the previous owner of my house and I'm told spent a lot of time in the basement room that is now my home theater.

I feel like I need that, but I don't even want to guess how much it will sell for. :)

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

The person who wins this is going to pay major $ and they couldn't throw in the blu-ray of the film instead of the DVD???!!!

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

Dude, it's way cheaper to buy it from here.

So when is this current B&N sale over?

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

December 2nd is the last day I believe.

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

Sweet. Plenty of time to nab Zatoichi for half off!

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

Based on today's newsletter clue, I'm guessing Midnight Cowboy is in the cards?

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

New clue:

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

I expected it to sell for a large amount but I was shocked by the result. You can see it on the link.

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

Secret of NIMH ?

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

Midnight Cowboy seems to be the consensus.

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

I'm a bit surprised by Midnight Cowboy. The blu-ray release is still fairly recent, even if the transfer could have been improved.

I WANT MULHOLLAND DR. DAMMIT! Maybe screaming it will make it happen? I'm just hoping that if it wasn't already in the works when they posted the instructions for projectionists from Lynch on their tumblr, that the overwhelming positive response it got will have geared them towards a release.

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

I'll stick with my more than good enought MGM version of Midnight Cowboy.

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

Would be hilarious if that clue wound up being something totally unexpected and unlikely, like Willard. :)

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

Well damnit. I WANT Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN NOW!

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

It will obviously be the a CC of Stuart Little 2.

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

Stop the suffering. Get the UK import with all the trimmings. You region free?

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

But i want it from cc now!

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

Sorry, but everyone guessed wrong, turns out the clue is for the Italian classic Quella villa in fondo al parco

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

With the right cover art, I bet they'd dupe more than a few Criterion completists into buying that and leaving it on their movie shelves unwatched, assuming that it's some Neo-Realist masterpiece they have no intention of actually watching. :)

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

:lol:

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

Just heads up. Amazon will have a few older Criterion blu's in their Black Friday deals on Saturday. Cheaper than B&N's 50% sale. Even better deal with Amazon Visa and/or Prime shipping.

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

Maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing, but I found the following while aimlessly browsing Amazon's instant video site yesterday:

Perhaps a harbinger of what's to be announced on Monday? Maybe a sneak preview of some really shitty coverart? Or (probably) just nothing?

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

dear god, I hope that isn't the art for scanners

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

I'm pretty sure those turned up ages ago on Criterion's Hulu+ channel. Given that Scanners also appeared in the New Years clue last year, it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that Criterion will be releasing some Cronenberg in the near future.

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

in terms of the Brood - the MGM DVD is an uncut version that technically shouldn't have a 'R-rating' since it features gore that was cut to get said rating.

I wonder if that was a mistake on MGM's part that just serendipitously wound up being in our favor for once or what.

Ah, Cronenberg, so deserving of being in the Criterion Collection. Though Scanners isn't one of his best films, wish someone would release Shivers again.

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

Oh yeah, I assume most people in the thread were aware those movies were forthcoming, but it's just that some were expecting them to be announced already, like several months ago. I posted the screenshots as possible proof they were going to be announced very soon, perhaps next week.

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

Criterion put Eraserhead on Hulu about a year ago. Still no Blu-ray announcement.

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

Has that film ever had any Blu-Ray release? I saw it was being show as part of a midnight movies thing nearby, but I didn't know if it was a genuine DCP or just a projected disc.

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

What, Eraserhead? Sure, it's part of the UK Lynch box set and is one of the few good things in that shitty package (I think you can also purchase it on its own).

It also had a separate release in Japan, not sure about the rest of the world.

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

The UK blu is region free too.

How's the transfer?
