I missed the new print (theatrical release) but from what I've seen from the trailer - the 4K restoration looked stunning.

Really? What I saw in person did not :(

uhm...what could be considered a david lynch related photo was just posted on their facebook page:

Sometimes a breakfast photo is just a breakfast photo.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Could it be FWWM?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Could that be considered a David Lynch-related photo in any way it couldn't be considered, say, a Barbet Schroeder-related photo?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I've seen most of David Lynch's movies, but that doesn't strike me as anything familiar. Is it a reference to Twin Peaks (which I have not seen)? They wouldn't put out a TV series on Criterion...

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I guess you've never seen Twin Peaks - coffee and donuts figured quite prominently on the show and in the film.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I see a Wacky C doughnut. It seems more of a hint than a breakfast photo, but I don't know what for.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I've indeed seen Twin Peaks and I recall coffee and pie. A damn fine piece of pie, at that.

I'd dig a Criterion release of the Twin Peaks pilot. After that, the series slowly went downhill and the movie was terrible, IMO.

Maybe those are Stan Mikita doughnuts and we're looking at a Criterion Wayne's World boxset?

Maybe they were just enjoying their breakfast this morning and wanted to share?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I think the idea is that coffee and donuts also figure into people's average, non-Lynchian lives. If I take a photo of coffee and donuts, I guess it could be about "Twin Peaks". If I take a photo of a bicycle, with a flower, a Speak 'N Spell and a bag of Reese's Pieces in the basket, I'm probably making a reference to E.T., because we don't all ride around in bikes carrying those things on a daily basis. (At least I don't.)

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Why are people so excited for the possibility of "Fire Walk With Me"? It's not a good movie, and almost single handedly destroyed everything that was good about Twin Peaks.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Having recently watched the series and the film for the first time, I thought the series was consistently great up until the 17th or 18th episode, and then I only liked bits and pieces after that. And while I find David Lynch a bit hit and miss, I thought the movie was rather fantastic - one of the most genuinely horrifying films I've ever seen - and a fitting finale to the series.

And, more generally, the film seems to have a gained a pretty large following in the past twenty years, with many considering it among Lynch's best work. So it's not too much of a surprise that people would be excited for the possibility of it receiving a Criterion release.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Another FWWM lover here. So it's not like it doesn't have its supporters. And it is at least better than the James Hurley leaves Twin Peaks plot line. Season 2 had a lot of bad going on, but the finale was excellent.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Don't be silly. They wouldn't post an image that inherently mundane unless it had some sort of significance.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I wouldn't even call it a possibility. Someone made a totally irrelevant guess and everyone started treating it as fact.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Fire Walk with Me or possibly Blue Velvet aren't irrelevant guesses, they are the only possible guesses. Either the image refers to a David Lynch film or it refers to absolutely nothing at all.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Blue Velvet is one of my personal top 20 movies, and I'd be thrilled to no end to see a Criterion Blu-ray released. However, what it has to do with a picture of doughnuts, I (despite a couple dozen viewings of the film) will probably never know. I'm having a hard enough time making a tenuous connection between that picture and Twin Peaks. If that picture can mean Blue Velvet, it just as well could mean The Elephant Man.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

:lol: A Complete Twin Peaks set would be unreal, but I'm skeptical over whether Criterion a) would just release FWWM, or b) could get their hands on the property anyway. Fun fantasy, that's for sure.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Yeah, were there even any donuts in Twin Peaks? I thought it was just pie...

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

It's a question of rights issues. Blue Velvet, being an MGM property, is more likely to receive a Criterion release than The Elephant Man, which if anything would be a Lionsgate port of the Studio Canal release.

Good call!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Despite the screenshot, I don't think the donuts were a prominent recurring motif, at least not as much as a number of other things from Twin Peaks. I find all this speculation to be a pretty significant stretch.

Nevertheless, I'll be more than happy to eat crow as I dig Lynch quite a bit and would love to see some of his material released by Criterion.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I can't believe no one has figured it out yet...such a simple clue.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I just got my MK2 FWWM blu-ray from France this week, so pretty much a guarantee that Criterion announces it today.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

No. A picture of doughnuts having anything to do with the movie Blue Velvet is not a "rights issue".

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

If Criterion is planning on releasing any David Lynch film, it would be either Blue Velvet (MGM), Wild at Heart (ditto), or Fire Walk With Me (based upon the image). So, we can surmise that the photo refers to, as I noted earlier, either one of these three films or nothing at all. I was responding to this comment, and providing an explanation as to how the latter would not be a possibility:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

everybody just calm down.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I wonder if there's a significance to some of the donuts being square, and some being round.

I would also love FWWM on Blu-ray. I think it's a truly inspired film, probably the creepiest Lynch has ever made. It's certainly a cut above the Palme D'Or winning Wild At Heart.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Or, we could surmise that it refers to something that actually has a lick to do with a table full of doughnuts. :shrug:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Hey guys I hear Criterion is about to reveal their March titles isn't everyone EXCITED?!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Free doughnuts or NO SALE!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The Times of Harvey Milk
Topsy-Turvy
The Mikado

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

This isn't going anywhere, so I'll drop it.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Too many cups of coffee.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Oh, I'll definitely get The Life and Times of Harvey Milk, but the other two don't seem very interesting. Seems like a pretty sparse month...

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

David Lynch in the house!! :banana:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'll say this, though, Criterion makes a damn fine pie. Heck, this must be where pies die and go to heaven.

And though it's not a Blu-ray release, they'll also be releasing an Eclipse set of five silent Naruse films.
