Yup that $300 Bergman Cinema set I've had my eye on for a while now? Conveniently out of stock. I could shit in a melon

Nothing for me this time, gotta tighten my belt here lately. I want the Godzilla vs Biollante eventually but I was one of the lucky few to grab the Blu-ray release a few years ago when it was cheap.

Damn, this is disappointing. Over at DVD Beaver, Gary Tooze has provided a bunch of comparison frames showing the new Criterion transfer of Night Moves, and it appears to suffer from some serious teal sickness.
"The new Criterion image is uncomfortably green and blue-ish and will court controversy. It is also much darker than the previous digital editions."

Just checked out the other screencaps there. Pretty significant, and I’m happy to stick with the Warner Archive Blu-ray on this one.

I was tempted by Yojimbo/Sanjuro but thought I might wait for more reviews of the BFI set.
My all-UHD order is:
I normally wouldn’t order nearly so much, but I had $85 in stockpiled gift cards and figured “why not?”

- Godzilla vs. Biollante

DVDBeaver took too long to respond.Frustrating, as it's a very handy site.

Did something change at DVDBeaver? I don't seem to be able to access it, any longer. I tried, yesterday, as well as clicking on your link, today.

It's been like that for years.

Weird... Isitdownrightnow.com even tells me that it's down for everyone. I still can't access it, even with www included.
Okay, even more strange... I tried to access it on my phone, with the same issue. I switched to LTE and it worked fine. So it seems to either be getting blocked by my router, or my ISP.

1970s films should not look like that.

Criterion claim to have used a vintage IB Tech print as a color reference for whatever that's worth.

Damn, Night Moves is one of the few Criterions I was interested in. Oh well, looks like I’ll just find the older version somewhere.

While the first image looks dated, but it's dated to its date.
The second image looks terribly modern and modernly terrible.

July:
Our July Titles
Coming in July: a hard-boiled tale of vice and retribution, an unnervingly frank look at American masculinity in the postwar era, and a soulful study of the complexities of a sibling relationship. Plus: a sumptuously crafted vision of a pitiless aristocracy and the celebrated saga that chronicled one of the most indelible characters of the French New Wave—now on 4K UHD.

Re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
None of those titles interest me to own. I heard You Can Count on Me is good, but I haven't seen it and I don't think that's a title that has lots of replay value. I do like Laura Linney. I would like to see it though. Hopefully Criterion Channel gets it at some point.

First month in a loooooong time that I’m getting every release! Fantastic slate. I was giving up hope on the Truffaut set.
