The Criterions I want are starting to pile up. When's the next B&N sale, July?

..can't wait to pick up "straw dogs" bluray on the next b&n sale...

Every July and November.

Since B&N and coupons during Criterions sales don't mix like they used to, I'll just wait for the next Criterion website flash sale in the fall/winter time frame. Usually 3 will get you free shipping and I've already got Straw Dogs and Stalker on my list. Surely by then, another title will be released that I want. Patience, patience.

Also, there's far less risk of a new title going out of print than there used to be.

Yeah my Criterion "wants" list is pretty robust right now.

awwwwwwwwwwww sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit!

I'd be pissed if that is the case. I don't see the need since it is already part of the great bluray box set. I'd much rather one of this other films that need an upgrade... like The Elephant Man. Seems like a waste... if true.

or Lost Highway. grumble grumble...

But... I can see the desire to have a new FWWM. I haven't played the disc from the box set in awhile, but I seem to recall it having lip sync issues, at least on my Oppo. If that's fixed, I'd totally double-dip.

There's a pretty good EM blu in The UK, put out by Studio Canal, that's region-free.

Unless they do something amazing with it, I agree.

Now that would be awesome.

So many great films without a Blu-Ray, and once again Criterion feels the need to work on something that has a decent release already.

Also, has Criterion made any mention of supporting UHD-BD? Or are they going to just sit this one out?

The remastered 4K edition Studio Canal released isn't bad at all if you're interested.

I feel the same way about their Wes Anderson releases.
I know, they're money makers, blah ,blah, blah, etc, etc.....
Just my lousy opinion.

If Fire Walk With Me is true, I would maybe consider if it had some amazing extras, but more than likely, I'll pass.

I get why they're doing it, though. It's sure to be one of their biggest money makers. I would prefer another Lynch film to be up next, but the timing is better for Twin Peaks.

Hmm, I'm one who would actually buy FWWM if Criterion released it. I have the Gold Box DVD set of Twin Peaks and have never really cared to upgrade it to the Blu-ray set that included the movie.

I wonder if I'm in the majority or minority of Twin Peaks fans who never upgraded?

The Blu-rays are a huge upgrade in picture quality over the DVDs, and Fire Walk With Me includes the famous deleted scenes that fans had begged for over 20 years to see, all fully remastered to the same quality as the movie.

You are missing out.

^ shit. Don't tempt me, man. Especially with a possible FWWM criterion coming.

I'm the biggest Twin Peaks fan I know but FWWM shouldn't get a release over Lost Highway, Straight Story, Elephant Man, and Wild at Heart. Plus FWWM is too recent of a title for an upgrade and Criterion is not going to eclipse "The Missing Pieces" in the extras department.

And GoldenJCJ, pick up the Twin Peaks box set (make sure it's the 10 disc version). You won't regret it.

I'd love to get a BD release of The Straight Story. It doesn't even have to be a Criterion... it would be cheaper even if it was barebones (extras do nothing for me anyway). Such a great film.

I'm betting FWWM is going to be paired up with David Lynch: The Art Life.

The Straight Story was released on Blu-ray in Japan, Region A. Unfortunately, it's an ancient video transfer.

But is it really Fire wok with me? Why is there a steak in it?

Fire Wok with 'Meat'?
