typical --- and in regular fashion after having bought the import of 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls' Criterion announces it ... oh well, on the plus side I at least get the second bonus movie "The Seven Minutes"

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

..is blood simple going to be the "directors cut" or the original cut?..if it's the "directors cut" then I will not be buying it, too many great scenes were cut from the "directors cut"..

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

Holy fuck, Dekalog!

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

Yes! I know it's been rumored for a long time, but that's huge. :thumbsup: :banana:

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

Since it's not mentioned in the Specs and Criterion's track record of release the filmaker's preferred Cut, it's safe to say it will be the Director's Cut.

I already have the barebone release and it's pretty good, so I'll be skipping it. I do like Criterion's cover though.

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

There's also a Bluray only reissue of Zatoichi with a slightly lower price.

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

Dekalog and Blood Simple will be mine. Oh yes, oh yes.

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

More importantly, will it include the full original cut, with Fred Astaire and Rosemary Clooney playing M. Emmett Walsh's parents/rulers of Bulgaria? Movie...magic.

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

My reaction to the announcement, the best I've seen in a long, long time.

There are some great announcements in there. Most of them were a surprise to me. Dekalog is incredible news.

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

so wait, when is John Water's Multiple Maniacs coming out then??

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

Arrow Video's Beyond The Valley of the Dolls looked really great in Region B land:

I doubt Criterion betters the presentation. At best, they can match it.

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

I had no idea Criterion was working on a Decalogue set, or I would have sold my OOP dvd set while it still had some value.

I'm in for Decalogue, Blood Simple and Night Train To Munich.

I've seen Blood Simple probably 5 times since I originally saw it about 10 years ago. I watched it on dvd and blu ray and to be honest I don't know if I watched 2 different cuts. I can't recall. I guess the Coens really only want one cut seen because its not like Criterion has an aversion to releasing multiple cuts of a film. ( As evidenced by the upcoming The New World release with 3 seperate cuts).

Looks like the commentary from the blu release isn't being ported over, which is a shame I suppose. Even though I've never listened to it.

Criterion has been killing it lately. So many releases that have me excited. If they announce The Before Trilogy next month i'll shit myself.

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

The commentary is a "spoof" of commentaries, so I'm not that concerned (I'll just keep my DVD copy).
After months of nothing all that appealing to me, this month is terrific.

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

I've held off buying that old DVD set for years, as it was rumored to be released by Criterion. I've been waiting like 7 years. :lol: You might be able to still unload it.

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

If I'm not mistaken, I believe only the Director's Cut has ever been released on DVD or Blu-ray. The theatrical cut was released on VHS and Laserdisc.

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

it's an astounding hidef transfer with the colors having tremendous pop - I honestly don't think I have a reason to get the Criterion edition owning this already.

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

I own the laserdisc and I saw it in the theaters, but I honestly have not seen the 'director's cut' of this, I'm very excited that this is being released via Criterion - I want to see a deluxe edition of 'Raising Arizona' (I love that movie).

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

Not exactly, it's mainly the sections featuring Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2 with some supporting material from three other plays and Holinshed's Chronicles (which Shakespeare used for a number of plays). So not really any new material, but rearranging existing material to give us kind of a "Falstaff's greatest hits" collection.

Guillermo del Toro just tweeted this a few minutes ago.

"Criterion's Pan's Labyrinth 10th anniversary edition! And more news to come soon!"

That's a beautiful cover :thumbsup: Time to ditch my New Line Blu-ray.

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

As much as I like comic book art, I don't care for it as covers/posters for movies.

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

Awesome. So glad I held off buying any of the other blu-ray releases.

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

Good to hear that Del Toro's Spanish language trilogy will be complete on Criterion. Also, that Pan's Labyrinth cover is NOT drawn by Mike Mignola, the artist who drew Cronos and the Devil's Backbone ones. FYI

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

I hope Pacific Rim is next!!

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

If anything, Hellboy should be next.

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

that PL Criterion news is just fabulous!

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

Ooh. I'm going to have to get that. I only have the DVD.

Nice cover. It looks like Becky Cloonan's art. Wonder if it is.

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

Gonna have to be a pretty damn spectacular release, to get me to ditch my Mondo steelbook.

It is.

It's probably 3 to 4 years away, but what do you guys think Criterion spine #1,000 will be?

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

House of 1000 Corpses obviously. ;)

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

Something by Wes Anderson. :sarcasm:

Winner!

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

that is some gorgeous fucking art work!

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

I don't care for the art on that Pan's steelbook - that eyeball-hands character is in only one scene, and hardly does anything. It's not at all a good representation for the movie. It would be like having Greedo on the cover of Star Wars IV.

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

i think that creature, while brief, was very iconic...
