I enjoy misreading that as an endorsement for Michael Winner to get the coveted spine #.

Grand Illusion. They'll start their second thousand titles with upgraded Blu-ray and DVD editions of the title that started their first thousand.

I was being sarcastic because of Criterions giant boner (yeah I know they're money makers, whatever).
I would 1,000,000 times prefer if it were :

Indeed and the artist, Jock, is getting his very own "Art of" book released in September. Should be a nice sized coffee table book for the price. I pre-ordered it on Amazon.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

I mean, that would be the release I would want most, though I hope it happens a lot sooner than #1000.

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

I assume that's fan art. I had to stare at it for a good 40 seconds to decipher the title through that font, and that's mostly because I finally noticed where it says "Ken Russell's" above it.

I was completely puzzled trying to figure out what "The OFVHS" is.

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

Obviously a long dead format that Alan Smittee has a near complete collection of in his kitchen pantry.

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

The guy who designed it is probably into black metal.

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

Nah, if it was, it would look more like this:

Goddamn you, I saw the cover and read THE DEVILS clearly. Now all I see is OF VHS. rotfl

This.

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

I agree. The Pale Man and the entire scene involving him are ridiculously memorable.

So does the B&N sale start of the 9th?

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

I read it was the 5th.

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

Even better. But why can't I find any online info on it?

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

I found this on the other site, so credit goes to them

"Lone Wolf & Cub" box set :rock2:

I wonder if they are going to include the "Shogun Assassin" versions.

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

Wow, always wanted to see that, a set with both versions would be perfect.

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

What would make a perfect Lone Wolf & cub set would be if they could sync the japanese audio for the Shogun Assassn edit

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

I was so pissed that the PQ was messed up for the Animeigo set for LWaC. I'm hoping that the Criterion version will correct it but then again, the Criterion Ladysnowblood suffers from the colour variation so who knows...

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

Does anyone know if Criterion did additional work on Dr Strangelove or essentially the same transfer

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

It's the same transfer from the 2009 blu-ray, which was from a 4K restoration Sony sunk a lot of money into. It's not going to look any better.

Great fucking month!

The Executioner :up:

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

So, is the book the one difference in buying the GDT Trilogy set? I have "Backbone" (no pun intended), but I lack "Cronos" and (of course) "Pan". Also looking at "Boyhood" and "Short Cuts" (though I have it on DVD). Great couple of months (for me) from Criterion.

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

I was just coming here to post about Short Cuts! So excited that was finally announced. Keep the Altman coming.

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

I can finally retire my really old expensive laserdisc of Short Cuts. Glad that's finally hitting blu.

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

I think the book may be a partial reprint of the hardcover coffee edition of Pan's Labyrinth coming out that same month.

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

I wonder how they'll package that Del Toro box. I'm guessing just the regular blus inside a slip-box. If they made it snazzy, I might get the whole box, even though I already have two of them (three if you include WB's Pan's).

Anyhoo, I'm in for Shortcuts! And I'll just stick it in the DVD package that comes with the book.

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

I'm in for Pan's of course. Maybe Boyhood. What was Short Cuts about again?

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

Yeah, I think I'll have to get that GDT box. Ought to be had for cheap and B&N this holiday season. I have Backbone and Pans Labyrinth on DVD, but they should be worth the upgrade.

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

in for SC too.

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

I think this is the DVD cover art for the GDT trilogy:
