According to this post, Mo' Better Blues is coming to Blu-ray, but no idea if Criterion is handling it.

I know that Kino has several Spike Lee films coming, and they're struggling to get him to provide commentaries.

I’m really bad at the picture clues, mostly because I’m stupid. It would be cool if it was

Never heard of that one. That’s probably it.

Are you just blue skying, or is that an educated guess?

Not sure what else Criterion could add, unless they could do a high def transfer of the extended cut with *all* the deleted footage restored.

total blue skying.
I would imagine that if Criterion managed to work out a deal and have Lynch involved, he'd demand that the extended cut and most/all deleted footage be kept OFF the release. He had no fondness for all that, as I recall.

He has no fondness for the movie period. Even if Criterion wanted to do it, Lynch would not participate, and I think that would be enough to dissuade them.

I think a bare-bones 4k release through Universal is more likely.

That may be, and I do appreciate the extraordinary effort Criterion makes for its releases, but if I'm not interested in a film based on its genre, premise, and reviews, I won't watch it. As it stands, there's already more than a lifetime's worth of films that do pique my interest to seek out and watch, most of them not officially available to view.

FYI: Spike is selling signed copies of DTRT off his store for retail + tax and shipping. Link is on his Instagram.

That would be cool, but DHL shipping at $42 isn't going to cut it.

I picked up Fox's "All About Eve" Blu-ray for next-to-nothing a few years back, and it has all the features this one has (it's packed!). Much like "Blue Velvet", it'll depend if they produce those legacy features in HD rather than Fox's SD, and if there's some significant improvement in the PQ.

Recently watched Cold War on Amazon. It was in 4K and looked fantastic. I thought the movie was great, but knowing I can watch it in 4K means I'll probably skip the Criterion BD.

Me too. I think from Costco It's a digibook and very nice.

Don't think I need anything else from this batch

Sometimes I see this riddle drawings, and then somebody posts the answer, and I think the events in the drawings would be more fun to watch.
A duck in a temple? It almost writes itself.

Happy to see that Greg Mottola's The Daytrippers is getting the Criterion treatment!
