Totally in for Some Like It Hot. The blu-ray I currently have is atrocious.

Criterion Some Like It Hot vs. personal commitment to only re-buy at 4K

The Bergman set will be an amazing value at the next BN sale.

Flash sale for me. I have like $100 worth of credit lol.

I'm really excited for True Stories, especially considering it was only ever released on DVD in P&S!

soon on CRITERION
FORTY GUNS with BARBARA STANWYCK

In for Ambersons (can't believe the only dvd release of that was a shoddy bonus disc with Citizen Kane), and maybe Some Like it Hot, depending on extras...

Ambersons had a separate release. I just sold my copy.

Yeah, this is a very welcome upgrade. Looking forward to picking it up during the next Barnes & Noble sale.

The Magnificent Ambersons is a movie that I really like, but one that gets me so bogged down when viewing it, knowing how far away it is from Welles vision of the movie. I can watch it, but its like going for a nice Sunday hike but with a big pebble in your shoe the whole time, that you can't take out.

I've lamented this before, but what a cinematic tragedy it is that perhaps the best to ever do it, had just about every film he made after CK gutted and recut by a studio. It's like someone painting over the Mona Lisa and making it definitive as to whether she is smiling or not.

Andrei Rublev DVD Beaver comparisons

My copy of The Tree of Life, which I ordered way back on July 11th... is now delayed. Expected delivery is two weeks from today. Ugh.

Criterion announced the release date had been changed to Sept 11th over a month ago.

Oh. Well that makes sense then.

A bit of a bummer for me that extended Andrei Rublev has burned in subtitles, but oh well. I'm surprised we're even seeing this version in HD to begin with.

I looked into buying a digital copy of True Stories a few months ago but decided against it when I found it was only SD. Lucky for me apparently.

Charles Burnett's To Sleep With Anger will be released, according to their new clue.

Oh my goodness, please, please, PLEASE let this be true.

It's true. One of the more obvious clues they have put out there:



Probably the first and last time they will ever use a Pixar character.

One of Criterion's previous cartoons seemed to hint at a release for In The Heat of the Night but that hasn't been announced. So now I am cautious about getting excited over their clues. On the other hand, this clue seems really obvious (plus To Sleep with Anger does not have DVD or blu release in the States.

I'm pretty sure every one of criterion's clues has come to fruition at some point or another. In the heat of the night (if that was truly the correct answer) was just last month's clue. Give it some more time. It will come. Probably sooner rather than later.
