December's always weak.

Well, I'm glad I held off on the DVD for Downhill Racer...

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

Just Speedy for me.

I don't know if my tastes are getting pickier or what, but for the past several months, Criterion has released very little that has actually sparked my interest.

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

You are not alone.

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

I'm sure my local B&N will have the same first week, first printing copy sitting on the shelf gathering dust when November rolls around. I'll have to wait patiently for someone to buy it before it gets restocked.

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

The title yanked from the distributor before release. I could be wrong, but no bad copies should have made it to any shelves.

edit: Never mind. I'm wrong. The problem wasn't discovered until after release. Purchase at your own risk.

double edit: I take that back. I was right the first time. This was pulled by the distributor two weeks before its original street date. No bad copies should be out in the wild.

Jellyfish Eyes certainly looks interesting but I may have to force myself to start using Hulu for Criterion titles I'm not absolutely certain about anymore.

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

here's the trailer for "Jellyfish Eyes"

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

so i got Dressed to Kill from Amazon. It says "First Printing 2015". no way this is a corrected disc, huh? i haven't opened it yet...

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

Did you not read where I said above that Criterion seems to be reusing the first pressing cases and that the discs inside may still be "second printing?" It's of course very possible that you did get an actual first pressing, but you'll never know unless you open it.

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

Ok, thanks. Sorry. I'll check.

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

i can't tell either way on the disc. it doesn't say any printing so i assume i am screwed. oh well. live and learn OldBoy, live and learn...

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

If by screweed you mean you have to send an e-mail to Criterion so they can send you a new disc.

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

Really? Happen to have address? Thanks again.

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

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

...ok, and Criterion feels they need to release this, why? Not bashing the movie or Criterion, but the movie feels like a really odd choice for Criterion's wheelhouse. Of course this isn't the first thing Criterion released that I thought was out of place.

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

Just Google "criterion dressed to kill" and you will find the page with all of their instructions. Why that wasn't the first thing you did I will never know.

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

God dammit, OldBoy. -ohbfrank-

God dammit, Me!

Well, we've been hounding them to release more anime...this is what we get.

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

So whatever happened with the 2015 tease for what looked to be a Criterion version of Inside Llewyn Davis? Did we figure out that it was referring to another movie with a guy carrying a guitar case and a cat?

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

Yea, I'm not sure what other movie it could be referring to.
I still think Inside Llewyn Davis would be a total waste for Criterion to license. It's a 2013 movie that looks and sounds great... all Criterion will likely add to it are more supplements. So many other films not out on BD they could be spending their time on instead - some of which are also Coen Brothers films.

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

It's probably still coming. It was rumored well before the drawing so that seemed like a good indication that they are releasing it.

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

Takashi Murakami is big in the art world. Even those who don't know the art world well know him thanks to Kanye West (he did the album art for Graduation). He's enjoyed all kinds of crossover appeal ever since. This is his first film. Still, I agree, it's a strange choice for Criterion. I don't even recall it playing US theaters.

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

It was recently revealed that Criterion will be releasing the five hour version of Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World.

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

That is great news. I own the German DVD set, but would gladly upgrade.

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

This would make my year. I also have the German DVD set and have been waiting for a BD release!

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

I wonder what other films Criterion owns through the Janus retrospective of Wender's films that are getting shown the next few months.

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

I'd imagine it'd be all of them, wouldn't it?

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

Maybe someone at Criterion felt the same way F. Murray Abraham's character did, “I don’t see a lot of money here.”

he sucks at google. leave him alone, sir.

Here's the blu-ray.com thread discussing UTEOTW and other Wenders releases from Criterion: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?p=11310399

(Hope it's okay to post here; but I figured some may want confirmation and what other films to expect from Criterion)

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

This is great news. I've been holding out on watching this film since the theatrical version first came out to bad reviews and word that there was a much better director's cut. It only took about 20 years.

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

I watched the Director's Cut about 10 years ago. It wasn't bad and was definitely interesting... but I really can't see myself needing/wanting to watch it again - especially with it being over 4.5 hours long.

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

The Director's Cut should be viewed as a miniseries rather than a single movie. It aired on European television in three parts. Trying to sit through the entire thing in one go can be a bit of a slog, but it plays better when spread out to smaller pieces.

It's still a very flawed work, but the long version is significantly better than the shorter theatrical cut.

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

Yes, and that's how I watched it. It's just the replay value is very low IMO regardless of how I watch it. Fanny & Alexander (TV version) is longer and even though it was originally aired in 4 parts, I've sat through the whole thing in one sitting a few times. When it's really good, I have the patience.
