blu-ray.com BIGGER THAN LIFE review: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Bigger...y-Review/8851/

I think it will be EXTREMELY disappointing if they do not work with him to create an ultimate director's cut of this film, no matter how long it ends up being. It absolutely needs to happen. That's really the only reason for Criterion to even bother releasing it, honestly: so they can do it the right way.

That's the way I see it too. I heavily doubt that CC would think fans would really want theatrical from them. Fans TRL would want the director's cut.

Yes, although it would be nice to get some extra features, if they don't release a director's cut, it will be a very disappointing missed opportunity.

I imagine that with their shorter release date windows these days (from date of a teaser/announcement), most of what they intend to do with Malick is already done. I, too, hope that we get a director's cut.

June releases:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MYSTERY TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Leopard on BD = wow.

Red Desert! Awesome!

Mystery Train is my favorite Jarmusch, so I'm definitely in for that, though the extras look a bit thin. Still, I wasn't even expecting a HD release. Big thumbs-up on The Leopard and Red Desert. Hopefully The Red Shoes will be coming in July.

I don't know what Mystery Train is, but I just read the name "Joe Strummer" and I'm in.

Holy.

Criterion's been hitting 'em out of the park more often than not with their Blu-Ray announcements. Too bad they're almost $40 CAD each. Brutal pricing in Canada.

Very nice Criterion. 2010 is shaping up nicely.

Also, for those that don't read the DVD Talk forum anymore (like me), Kiarostami's Close Up was announced along with Everlasting Moments and Night Train to Munich.

Criterion just added "Close-Up" and "Everlasting Moments" to the blu-ray list now. That's FIVE blu-rays for June!

We're gonna need that 50% off sale....BADLY.

6 hours long cut or bust

and yes I'm serious

Hear, hear! That's great news on Close-up, particularly as it includes an entire second film. Criterion's Blu-ray line-up is bar-none the finest in the industry, with WB a distant second.

yes yes yes yes. I'm way behind as is.

Criterion Blu-Ray BADLANDS would be right up there with Criterion Blu-Ray À BOUT DE SOUFFLE in awesomeness.

Not sure if this is the right place to mention it, but apparently Milos Foreman has been contacted by Criterion to be part of an upcoming TAKING OFF release. Amazing of them to be the ones to untangle the music rights for a first-ever home video release after 40 years.

I always preferred TRL over SPR too.

can't it come any quicker....

so was that a giant tease then for 'The Thin Red Lion...er... Line' or is that a rumoured July bluray release??

I'm pretty sure the clue is for "The Thin Red Line," but you have to remember that the clue for del Toro's "Chronos" came in the October 2009 newsletter and there still hasn't been a release date set for it. Maybe by the end of the year, we'll have "The Thin Red Line."

Red Desert is my most anticipated release of the year!
