It says Second Printing on the back of the packaging and on the disc.

thanks.

I think I read reports on blu-ray.com of some people getting recycled first printing cases with second printing discs inside. The reality is that if there are first printing discs out in the wild, they are probably very rare. You should be able to order from just about anywhere and feel safe doing so.

December releases are up.

Jellyfish Eyes
Speedy

December's always weak.

Well, I'm glad I held off on the DVD for Downhill Racer...

Just Speedy for me.

I don't know if my tastes are getting pickier or what, but for the past several months, Criterion has released very little that has actually sparked my interest.

You are not alone.

I'm sure my local B&N will have the same first week, first printing copy sitting on the shelf gathering dust when November rolls around. I'll have to wait patiently for someone to buy it before it gets restocked.

The title yanked from the distributor before release. I could be wrong, but no bad copies should have made it to any shelves.

edit: Never mind. I'm wrong. The problem wasn't discovered until after release. Purchase at your own risk.

double edit: I take that back. I was right the first time. This was pulled by the distributor two weeks before its original street date. No bad copies should be out in the wild.

Jellyfish Eyes certainly looks interesting but I may have to force myself to start using Hulu for Criterion titles I'm not absolutely certain about anymore.

here's the trailer for "Jellyfish Eyes"

... is 'Good Burger' finally slated for next year ???

so i got Dressed to Kill from Amazon. It says "First Printing 2015". no way this is a corrected disc, huh? i haven't opened it yet...

Did you not read where I said above that Criterion seems to be reusing the first pressing cases and that the discs inside may still be "second printing?" It's of course very possible that you did get an actual first pressing, but you'll never know unless you open it.

Ok, thanks. Sorry. I'll check.

i can't tell either way on the disc. it doesn't say any printing so i assume i am screwed. oh well. live and learn OldBoy, live and learn...

If by screweed you mean you have to send an e-mail to Criterion so they can send you a new disc.

Really? Happen to have address? Thanks again.

...ok, and Criterion feels they need to release this, why? Not bashing the movie or Criterion, but the movie feels like a really odd choice for Criterion's wheelhouse. Of course this isn't the first thing Criterion released that I thought was out of place.

Just Google "criterion dressed to kill" and you will find the page with all of their instructions. Why that wasn't the first thing you did I will never know.

God dammit, OldBoy.

God dammit, Me!
