How did this old guy get a copy three weeks early?

^^^^^^^^^^^
Who is that hack?

Not every Criterion director can be a genius like this guy :

I'm so glad Criterion didn't mess with that Eraserhead cover art. It's iconic to me.

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

that's not some random dude...it's the director, David Lynch, i believe. don't know how he got it before street date however. thought that was illegal...

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

Looks like the corners are a bit damaged, he's off to bluraydotcom to write a strongly worded post about the quality of shipping.

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

I can't tell if you missed the sarcasm, or are responding to his sarcasm with sarcasm.

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

My money is on the former.

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

exactly.

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

y'all make my head spin ... :lol:

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

No slipcover = No sale. :mad:

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

I'm surprised he didn't wait for Barnes & Noble's Criterion sale, he could have gotten it cheaper.

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

I wonder if he saves the "Director Approved" blue labels after he opens them.

From today's Criterion newsletter:

This is THE THIN BLUE LINE, right?

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

That's what I came up with.

While they're at it, it'd be great if they'd release a box set that includes LINE along with GATES OF HEAVEN and VERNON, FLORIDA.

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

They did the same clue with The Thin Red Line (except the lion was red). Where's the creativity, Criterion?

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

I'm just happy when I can guess them...usually, I'm WAY off. :)

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

That's what it looks like to me...

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

I know this is not a direct Criterion discussion but is the line of Cohen Film Collection trying to be like the Criterion line? If so, then they really have to do something about their over-sized C that takes up a nice percentage of their covers.

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

Never heard of Cohen Film Collection.

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

They release movies like Fahrgo and Mihller's Crohssing.

You should check them out, they have some good stuff that would be Criterion worthy by directors like Keaton, Lang, Godard, Buñuel, Chabrol, Resnais, Techine, etc.... and they also do film restoration.

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

Yah, Cohen's pretty great although the only disc from them I own is Melville's Two Men in Manhattan. I've been eyeing some of the Chabrol releases lately. I agree, the giant 'c' on their artwork is kind of ugly.

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

I could see them potentially being another Criterion like line if they would be a bit more particular on their transfers and disc content along with having a bit classier cover for their releases.

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

Does Criterion have the rights for Watership Down? I was browsing on the iTunes movie store and they have it there under the Criterion Collection.

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

Someone on reddit mentioned that they have the rights to Watership and also The Plague Dogs. I would love to see Watership Down on Criterion, but I don't think I could own The Plague Dogs unless they restore the book's ending to the movie.

Would that be the first animation Criterion have ever released?

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

I'd forgotten about Fantastic Mr. Fox, damn, I didn't know they'd ever released Akira, I assume that was back in their laserdisc days?

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

No announcement today?

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

have a lisp? ;)

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

Delayed until tomorrow.

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

Yes

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

Akira supplements on the laserdisc (for those interested in what those were)

Supplemental material also includes:

Pencil to Screen: The genesis and execution of Akira
The Akira Archive
Liner notes by David Chute

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

They've got a Criterion Collection cover up there for it, too.

Holy cow, I cannot wait for that.

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

Looks like we're getting Safe (1995), The Night Porter, and Time Bandits on Blu-ray this December.

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

I was just about to post that!

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

Also a new Eclipse set (on dvd of course) of Keisuke Kinoshita films.

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

Time Bandits, fo sho.

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

I'm glad to see that the Eclipse line is not dead.
