It came out on laserdisc. It wouldn't have been a bad thing at all if it didn't.

Is it possible the image interpreted as Ringu/Macbeth could represent The Brood?

Regarding the jazz musicians... would anyone see Criterion treatment given to The Cotton Club? They did release Heavens Gate, another high-profile flop.

Regarding the angels... since they already released Wings of Desire, would they be releasing Wenders' sequel Faraway, So Close?

It's a good thing The Fury was already released on BD by Twilight Time, otherwise I'd start to wonder if the exploding head was for that instead of Scanners.

Thief BD review. Very nice.

Anyone know whether (or why not) Scorcese's World Cinema Project will be sold by Barnes and Noble. Never saw it in any of their stores and not listed by bn.com either.

Oh wow, that packaging shot makes that thing look like a monster.

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

It doesn't look that big from the shot taken by the reviewer here. It looks similar in size to the America Lost and Found set. It's tiny compared to the Zatoichi set. :)

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

And yet I paid less for my Zatoichi set of 26 movies than what this set of 6 movies is going for now. I have to say, I was interested in this due to Scorsese's involvement, but reading up on the films, whether they're good or not, they don't seem all too interesting to me.

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

Only question for me is if it has the scene of Cann on the dock with the older fisherman, that shot is amazing.

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

Presumably because Zatoichi was on sale and had a coupon. The World Cinema set is not on sale yet - but during the next sale, it will be as cheap even without a coupon... I'm waiting patiently!

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

I got the Scorsese set from Amazon about 2 weeks ago for $65.00. That's only $2.50 more than half off so I jumped on it and I'm glad I did.

The movies are very obscure but very rewarding, especially from a cultural viewpoint. I've watched 4 of them so far and my favorite is A River Called Titas.

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

Does anyone know why Breathless was released again when both the DVD and blu-ray versions were already released? Was anything new added as supplements?

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

It's one of their more popular titles, so I would assume they needed to do a repress and seeing as how their whole idea behind the combo packs is cost effectiveness, I would imagine once a pressing of a movie sells out from now on it will be repressed in a combo pack. Maybe not though, just an educated guess.

announcement day!

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

Scanners
any early Cronenberg, for that matter
Eraserhead
Mulholland Dr.

stoked on riot in cell block 11

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

Is there anything new with The 400 Blows aside from being a dual-format release?

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

meh.

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

Master of the House, holy shit!

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

How many people will complain about the video quality for Breaking The Waves?

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

Meh.

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

Can't wait for Breaking the Waves.

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

Cool month. I've been waiting to own a copy of Breaking the Waves, and more Dreyer and Siegel films are always welcome.

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

Too lazy to double check but it doesn't seem like it. I don't like this new trend of announcing re-releases as part of their monthly announcements.

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

I don't mind it because I'm only a casual collector and I like knowing about updates to catalog titles that I might not have noticed before. I can't be the only person like this and Criterion likely knows it and wants to make sure they reach as many people as possible.

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

Zzzzzzzz. Not an exciting month for me.

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

Agreed!

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

A month with Dreyer is a good month for me.

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

Yeah that's kind of lame. Now if they had announced the entire Doinel box set on Blu, then we'd be talking.

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

:up: Von Trier

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

I had read on another forum that this release would have Antoine and Colette on it, but looking at the Criterion website, it still looks to only be in the Antoine Doinel box.

If they upgraded that box set to Blu, I'd be all over it.

It's not exactly a new trend; they've been doing it ever since they started doing upgrading previous spine-numbers on Blu-Ray; if you already have the title, then you can skip it and move onto the other titles.

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

Damn. This looks like a bad ass release. I hope it goes down in price though ($30 at amazon). Then I can own my second ever criterion.

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

Jesus, 3 hours and 15 minutes is a fucking eternity for a comedy. Who directed this thing, Judd Apatow?!

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

Announcing blu-ray upgrades is one thing, announcing what are essentially repackagings is another. That said, I don't think anyone would have a problem with it if there were any actual upgrades this month, but there isn't so it sticks out.

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

I really dig the Mad World packaging.
