I know Criterion just released a Mike Leigh film, but its about damn time someone in the States released Secrets & Lies. Mike Leigh's second best film.

Nice, but I sure wish someone would release Ghost Dog in the US.

That works even better. Thinking it was NOTLD was me coupling the drawing with the night it was sent out. Plus the multiple sings that they are indeed releasing their own version of NOTLD. There was something about the theatrical release in the same newsletter email.

I've never seen Dead Man, but I would jump at the chance to replace my Ghost Dog dvd.

As it depicts Jerry Garcia, it would've been somewhat contradictory for the to be related to the 'living' Dead. ;)

As I posted earlier, Dead Man makes more sense. But I had never heard of that movie prior to this thread.

I haven't kept up, does STARZ have an agreement with Janus/Criterion?

I'd sell a kidney for a boxset like this.

I can't see any picture there milo, (I'm at work) but I'm guessing it's Godzilla? Motoyoshi Oda's name was put up on Criterion.com around the same time as Romero. I figured we would get Godzilla Raids Again soon. Anything else is gravy.

It's a screenshot from STARZ, shows several G films with the C logo on them.

It's hosted on Imgur, anybody else having trouble seeing it?

Dead Man is totally worth checking out if you're a Jarmusch fan. It's a one of JJ's best. There's an existing blu-ray that's available for under $9, that is a very good transfer. I will upgrade if there's significant extras, which I'm guessing there will be from Criterion.

I looked at his IMDB profile, and Ghost Dog is the only movie of his I have seen. So I can't say if I'm a fan of his work or not based on one movie. But I'll likely check out Dead Man now, thanks.

It also features a Johnny Depp performance before he became "Johnny Depp". And you really can't go wrong with any Jarmusch film.

The name is milo, and the image is real but we don’t know if it’s streaming only or if they’ll actually get physical releases.

A work print version of NOTLD?! Love it!

Only downside is that Criterion's version doesn't come with the "One For The Fire" documentary. Maybe I need the Japanese Blu Ray too, but I'm stoked :rock2:

Whoa, love the new cover for Silence. Glad I never picked up the blu for it.

TheBang 11-15-17 03:08 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I compared Silence to all the previous releases on DVD and Blu-ray, and it looks like it contains substantially most of the previous bonus material.

It includes the commentary, and some deleted scenes that were exclusive to the previous Criterion DVD release.

It looks like it might be missing the material from the "Breaking the Silence" picture-in-picture supplement, which had new interview material in 2009. It might also be missing outtakes and the Hopkins phone call, though those might be included in the "Deleted scenes" section.

Same here. Looks like I can find a new home for the previous DVD's as well since the vast majority of material is being included on the new release.

NOTLD and Lambs in the same month, I'm down for both.

Never heard of the Anubis version before, has that ever been mentioned?

Kedrix 11-15-17 04:13 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Silence of the Lambs, no brainer. That cover is fantastic. However, I probably will keep my Criterion dvd (missing supplements) and MGM Blu-Ray (it's part of a box set w/Hannibal and Red Dragon). The next Criterion flash sale can't get here soon enough.

Very cool, now we just need a decent version of Dawn of the Dead on Blu.

That Arrow import isn't bad. I wish the extended cut was on blu in that set though.

Would love for Criterion to get the rights to the original Dawn. Or even Scream! Factory.

Richard P. Rubenstein owns the rights and the word on the street is he wants a huge amount to license it now. No one is going to touch it until the price comes down.

amazon has NOTLD for $18.31 price matching Walmart https://www.amazon.com/Night-Living-...g+dead+blu+ray

Walmart's site also has the Silence of the Lambs for the same price https://www.walmart.com/ip/Criterion...-ray/445908644

I'm not 100% sure about NOTLD, but SOTL is a 2 disc set which makes it more than 50 % off since it would be 25 bucks during a half off sale.

Im not a big fan of Walmart but I had to preorder. These deals were too good.

Update: NOTLD is a 2 disc set too, so pick them up while you can!

Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man will be getting the CC treatment in 2018.

According to the Criterion website, both releases have MSRP of 39.99, so they will both be 20 at the next half off sale.
