I wonder why they have a plastic replacement case for Marienbad, I always assumed that packaging was "on purpose" (like Sweet Smell or Amacord) rather than their flimsy first-print blu-rays.

Agreed. I've looked at them side-by-side, and much prefer the original package (as terrible as it was to actually open)

I had no idea they were selling the clear cases (without artwork) as well. I remember getting a box of them from their supplier.

Is that a euphemism?

Looks like Monsieur Verdoux ('Bluebeard') is the next Chaplin release.

Have all the titles released in the digipak type case been converted to the normal plastic case or do you have to purchase the replacement case/art for those titles to have them in that type of case?

they should be, but many locations still have the digipak versions.

Go here to upgrade if you'd like...

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they released newer pressings with the regular case and I'd prefer to not have to spend an additional $5 if I don't have to.

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

When did CC start doing playback on their BDs? With this sale going on I've gotten some of the newer BDs and they have playback. I think that's awesome of them. We really need Universal and Disney to start doing that, among others. Playback should have always been a natural for BD.

I agree that playback is very important in a Blu-ray disc, as I do value and prioritize the viewing of the movies contained thereupon. I know, I know- it's all about the gorgeous SteelbookTM packaging, yo!

... but movie playback capability is still a plus.

Do you think Criterion would ever release Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko on Blu? I could only imagine them being successful catalog Blu releases only through CC. Controversy aside, BfC and F911 are two of the most notable films from the 2000s.

What makes you say this? I think they're pretty popular catalog titles, or at least as popular as a political documentary can be. That being said they're not the kind of films I'd upgrade to blu ray.

I, for one, am not huge on Criterion releasing documentaries.

Just release Hoop Dreams, mastered from the original video elements instead of the up-converted film master, and I'll be happy. At least Hoop Dreams is a more legit documentary than the current crop of political agenda crap...

I can tenuously accept Michael Bay being in the collection, but not Moore. Never.
