Makes sense. Guy on the right could pass for either Coppola or Ginsberg.:lol:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
As reported by Filmmaker Magazine at the Hawaii International Film Festival where [Wong Kar-wai] appeared, he confirmed that his studio Jet Tone Films are completing 4K restorations of all of his films with a theatrical tour in 2020 in mind, timed with the 20th anniversary of his masterpiece In the Mood for Love. It also seems that those who have been clamoring for a re-issue of the out-of-print Chungking Express will get more than desired. Janus Films and The Criterion Collection hold U.S. rights to these restorations, so we can hope that means an exquisite Bergman-esque box set is around the corner–perhaps after an Abbas Kiarostami one, following his forthcoming touring restrospective. https://filmmakermagazine.com/107445.../#.XM8V05NKjOR |

An Angel at My Table The Inland Sea Magnificent Obsession The Koker Trilogy The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
A little underwhelmed by that slate. Magnificent Obsession might be a blind buy, I like what I've seen of Sirk.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Any word on the next B & N 50% of sale? Typically it happens in June, but haven't seen any evidence of that for this year.

The Barnes & Noble sales are every July and November.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Ah! Lol, No wonder I haven't heard anything yet about the sale! Guess Police Story will have to wait until then.

Awesome. Thanks.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Anyone crack into House of Games or Funny Games yet? Have HoG on dvd, somewhere, but c’mon. Think I bought digital too. Haven’t seen any reviews. Love the movie and especially Mamet. Would love Criterion to do more of his stuff. Spanish Prisoner please. And was always interested in Haneke original. I think I saw the insipid remake with Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. Ugh, but heard original is great. I have them coming tomorrow, but don’t know when I’ll get to them...
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Well, the remake is also by Haneke, so I wouldn't call it insipid. But either movie (actually, most of Hanke's movies, save for Cache), good or not, are movies I never want to see again, much less own.

In any case, I don't think Criterion's getting the rights to it anytime soon. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Ammo Content? Who are they and how the heck did they get the rights to it? I ordered it, but what will I be getting? Yeah, I’m guessing Criterion won’t get their hands on the rights for a very long time. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Ammo Content has some weird B-C level shit - and The Spanish Prisoner. I’m guessing this will be bare bones only. Ammo Content, LLC. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
The release date on that has gotten pushed back numerous times. No way in hell I'd pay $20 for that without some reviews on quality.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I love the movie, so I'll take my chances. As long as the picture quality isn't some kind of sub-par DVD/VHS quality, it'll be worth it to me.

I'd be very pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be a fresh film scan. |

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I can’t believe nobody has commented on the Kiarostami films. I’ve wanted these for almost twenty years. I’m so excited. |

So October should see spine 1,000 released. I wonder if Criterion has any special plans or do they consider such things trivial. |

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I would trade all of your souls for spine 1000 to be Criterion's first 4K being a box set of all three seasons of Twin Peaks.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm going to guess #1000 will be either Orson Welles related or one of the movies Netflix released (Roma, Buster Scruggs, etc.), preferable on UHD, but not likely.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
If spine 1000 is a 4K title it could be Good Burger and I'd be over the moon.

Betty Blue - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090563/

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I've got my fingers crossed that it's Betty Blue from Jean-Jacques Beineix.

This excited me, until I looked at the samples in the link. It's still quite different from the original Criterion DVD. Definitely better than the Universal release, though.
The new Criterion Blu-ray screenshots appear to follow the same color grading intentions, but with better clarity and more accurate saturation. |

The new Criterion Blu-ray screenshots appear to follow the same color grading intentions, but with better clarity and more accurate saturation. I don't get the same feeling of heat from the screenshots for the new Blu-ray. As an example, the shot of Ozzie Davis standing on the street. I'll probably buy it, anyway, especially for the extras. |
