It just feels kinda flimsy and cheap. Especially by Criterion standards. I’d rather it have just been one of their clear Blu-ray cases.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
All of their Lynch films seem to be in the non-plastic cases... not sure that's a directive from him or just coincidence.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
yeah, i don't know why they switch it up. Princess Bride (very odd, like old book style), Blue Velvet, Sex, Lies and Videotape all have weird packaging for no particular reason that i'm aware of...

In for Scorsese and Bunuel and possibly Minding the Gap.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm all over the Bunuel (maybe Scorsese/Dylan), and this will be the first blu-rays I will have bought in a very long time!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm something of a broken record in this regard, I realize, but can I expect to see Streetwise released within the decade?

Not that it answers your question, but it is currently streaming on The Criterion Channel. I recently watched it, along with the follow-up Tiny:The Life of Erin Blackwell. I was kind of disappointed with the follow-up, but I suppose it was true to its title. Just not nearly as interesting as Streetwise. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Big Dylan fan, but the extras looks slim to me. I would have purchased it if it had a complete extra Blu-ray of every available performance from this tour/ Renaldo & Clara. I've seen clips of songs like "Sara" that didn't even make it to the documentary.

I know one of the girls, the leather-clad butch, was stabbed to death in 1985 when she tried to intervene in a fight. Another girl became a victim of serial killer Gary Ridgway. I suspect the life paths of the others were scarcely less bleak. |

Thanks, andicus!:) I haven't seen it, but Tiny is the one who ended up with 10 kids or something, no? I would be more interested in a follow-up that revisited all of the kids, and maybe even some of their old haunts, which have probably long since become gentrified.

I suspect the life paths of the others were scarcely less bleak. I didn't realize one of the girls (it was Roberta) was a victim of Gary Ridgway. I don't recall them mentioning her in the follow-up. I could have missed it. There was an unfortunately long (9 person) "In Memory Of" section during the end titles. Anyway, while disappointing I think it is still worth watching if you like the original film. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Minding The Gap,is a pretty cool movie but not one I need a Criterion Blu Ray of. Most of the footage was shot with cheap video cameras. Well worth watching though. It streams on Hulu.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Has anyone actually seen Parasite in black and white? I’m sure he has, but what was Joon Ho’s reasoning for this version? Does it do anything to an already incredible movie? I mean I’m glad I have, but not sure if I’d ever watch it. Not sure what the point is when the color variations and aesthetic of the movie with the different classes works so beautifully.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Eh, I’m not going to watch his “vanity” vision thinking that b/w would be the classic version. The color is already on its way...
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Can you actually keep comments about the film itself in the proper movie thread? This thread should be about the actual disc presentation and content once its released.
|
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Nah. This is the content that is exclusive to the Criterion version and I think one other foreign release that included it, so I think it’s fine right here. It’s a couple posts anyway based on the new Blu-ray already released. Think it’s just fine right here. You’ll live and it’s pretty proper here.

^ Lorenzo, the Blu-ray was already released this past week. I'll give you that there are no reviews for it, but the B&W version is included along with a director's intro.

Oops. I guess I stand corrected. I do owe Scott an apology then.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
About damned time for THE PARALLAX VIEW but my gawd that artwork is beyond simplistic. Is that silhouette supposed to be anybody from the film? I realize the original theatrical poster was no classic, but I can imagine plenty of powerful artwork that could really 'sell' a movie like that one.
Bahrani's films are excellent. Too bad they couldn't have gotten GOODBYE SOLO and given him a three-fer. |

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Couldn’t believe I didn’t have or know about this old Criterion Blu. Such a fun movie and to know Wes’s first. Loved it when I first saw it and still loving it now. Can’t wait to get into extras. Looks good on blu. Very, intentionally colorful. Maybe faces a little too orange.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Director Wong Kar-Wai oversaw some major restorations to his films. Reception I've read so far has been negative.
What remains unknown if Criterion will be releasing just the new versions, or if both the new and original cuts will be on the discs. |
re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I was really looking forward to this set, but the more I see, the more it feels like a disaster waiting to happen. Glad I didn't sell off my standalone blus for In the Mood for Love and Chunking Express.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I sold my Kino Fallen Angels and Happy Together discs. I feel like I'm gonna end up regretting it. :fc:
