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

Has Criterion released nearly every John Waters movie?. The only movie I have ever seen of his is A Dirty Shame and hope one day Criterion might get a hold of the rights for a high definition physical media release since it's only on dvd.

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

With Desperate Living, they've have released everything John Waters did from 1970-1988, which were all films distributed by New Line. Pecker and A Dirty Shame were both distributed by Fine Line, which was a sub-division of New Line, so I would think it's possible for Criterion to release them. That would leave Cecil B. Demented as the only film to not have a Blu-ray release. It was distributed by Artisan, which I believe means Lionsgate would have the rights?

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

Cecil B. Demented was distributed by Artisan back in the day, but the film is owned by Studio Canal. I'd expect those old distribution deals to have expired by now, so it would depend on who Studio Canal chooses to license it out to now. Criterion has licensed other Studio Canal titles (Mulholland Drive, for one), so it's possible they could get it if they want it.

Anyone getting the John Singleton collection next week?

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

Not with the next 50% sale only 2 months away.

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

Eh, I used credit so looking forward to it. Never saw PJ. The other 2 I loved. Even Baby Boy, though I think it’s forgotten in his body of work. So hard to believe he’s no longer with us.

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

Some day OldBoy's Amazon credit is going to run out and I just hope I'm there to see it.

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

why?

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

Besides the fact that your seemingly endless supply of credit is a point of fascination for many of us here (thanks in no small part to threads on the topic that you yourself have started), if I live to see the end, it probably means I have lived a long and (hopefully) happy life.

Also, it was a joke.

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

fair enough. but, just to be clear, i talked about it but never boasted about it.

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

No one said you did.

Eiza Gonzalez

She’s in the new Guy Ritchie movie out this week called “In the Grey”

Some good knowledge and she isn’t greedy, only took 6 titles.

And yes she’s stunning 😍

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

Is there a date for K-Pop Demon Hunters? Amazon keeps saying 12/31/26.

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

She also has a part in this weeks I Love Boosters. Two movies in theaters at the same time but honestly no one is going to make a trip to see them.

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

No, because Criterion hasn't formally announced it yet.

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

August titles, from their email announcement:

Little Odessa rules. And on 4K. Hell yes!

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

0/6 for me.





Although The Emperor's Naked Army sounds...intriguing

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

25 year gap between the original Coup de torchon Criterion DVD and the upcoming re-release.
Definitely one of their longest gaps.

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

That’s a phenomenal documentary! I’ve only seen two of the five in this set, but that one in particular made me want to see a lot more of his work, which hasn’t always been easy to find so I might look into this set in a sale some day. I recall randomly spotting an old Facets Video DVD of it at the library here several years back and thought it simply looked interesting, but man, I was not prepared for just how batshit relentless the main subject is, and how twisty and often wrenching the film itself is. The guy was basically right about what he was trying to do, but his methods were insanely confrontational, probably illegal in some cases, and at times verifiably nuts. But in a country that – at the time, and probably still – had a serious aversion to ‘remembering’ what it did both before and during the war, you can’t stop thinking about the brutality that led him to be this way. And then his own, uhh, complicated past adds a whole other layer! I’ve rarely seen such a powerful yet troubling depiction of atonement in documentary form like this. There are all sorts of long-form reviews of it online and on YouTube, pretty much all based off the Facets disc, so I suspect there will be a whole new round once this set comes out.

Personally, I think the film is worthy of its own release in the regular Criterion line, especially as there’s a lot of known behind-the-scenes anecdotes and material available that could be presented by a historian or whomever in more than just a sleeve essay or booklet can whatever these Eclipse sets come with now. Second Run put out a standalone Blu-ray in the UK several years ago that included an interview with Hara himself, and he’s still around today.

I’ll pick up Safe. Todd Haynes best.

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

One and only thing I share with Eiza Gonzalez we both own Midnight Cowboy on Blu-ray.

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

I'll get Coup De Torchon, being the Jim Thompson completist that I am. As far as Safe is concerned, that's one of those movies that I'm more than happy with the Blu-ray.

Bobby D's Criterion closet. Less than 2 minutes. :lol:

He's not who I picture that sits down and actually watches physical media.. probably just gave those movies to his assistant or agent.
