I've already got Kes on DVD, so I won't upgrade. Blow Out for sure, and I'll Netflix White Material. Fear and Loathing I've overdosed on, and I'll have to wait and see on Le Cercle Rouge. Saw Sweetie a few years ago, might give it a rental. Nice to save a few $ for once.

Decent month. Excited for White Material, Kes and Blow Out.

Damn fine month. Glad White Material's getting the treatment, and I'm pretty stoked for Kes, Blow Out, and Le Cercle Rouge.

Nice to see that Kes includes Cathy Come Home, in all likelihood 1080i.

I own "Fear & Loathing" on both Blu-ray and Criterion DVD already, but I'll bite on the Criterion Blu-ray I think. I'll probably also buy "Blow Out."

NoirFan 01-14-11 04:36 PM

I assume they'll fix the color problems with Le Cercle Rouge for this release.

I like the Blow-Out cover, even if it only makes me dream of The Conversation.

I hope this is the start of more Denis and Loach from Criterion.

Great news on Blow Out and Le Cercle Rouge. I've bought FALILV more times than I care to think about. I'm good with my HD DVD and CC 2-disc set.

Fuckin' brilliant releases. Kes, Blow Out and Le Cercle Rouge BDs are must haves!

nitin77 01-14-11 10:34 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Will take all those, but might wait to see how Le Cercle Rouge compares with the SC release that I already have.

Glad I didnt pick up Sweetie on dvd in the last B&N sale.

JAYARE 01-14-11 10:34 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
will probably get blow out and maybe fear and loathing

When would the next Barnes and Noble sale be if it does happen? I'm guessing around April or May or am I off. Boatloads of titles to pick up.

Most likely July.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
^ Agree with the above estimate. Having the two sales in July & Nov. spoils us in the fall, but it makes for a long, hard winter.

dsa_shea 01-15-11 11:07 AM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Well, if the sale is in July then I will likely grab one or two titles upon release, Kes for sure, and then make my list for July.

Jfunk1 01-15-11 01:08 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Fear and Loathing, Le Cercle Rouge and Blow Out for sure. Maybe Kes after I rent it first.

Carnival of Souls
Equinox

Kwaidan
Man Bites Dog
Monsters and Madmen Collection
Beauty and the Beast
Insomnia
The Most Dangerous Game
Fiend Without A Face
The Honeymoon Killers
The Devil and Daniel Webster
Naked Lunch
The Testament of Dr Mabuse
Vampyr
White Dog

Does anyone have a cardboard case for The Third Man that they no longer need? I would be willing to pay a little for shipping and packing

I'm pretty sure the cardboard version is extra-rare. The disc itself is rare and OOP, and I thought the cardboard version was even rarer.

Just a heads-up, mccarver listed the Chungking Express BD in his OOP thread, & Amazon doesn't have it in stock.

JJE-187 01-17-11 07:02 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Looks like I will be picking up Chungking ASAP. Hopefully it stays in stock at dvdempire until I get paid.


Im not sure if anyone cares but there is a really cool guy over at blu-ray.com that is making some custom criterion covers for me for some of the Criterion DVDs that never made it to blu-ray via CC but did with other companies. I wanna have a complete Criterion Blu-Ray collection

IDK if it is or not but someone from blu-ray.com is sending me one for free because he had it laying around.

Cool cover. I reposted over in our Mondo/Alamo print thread.

^ I would have omitted that 'R' and put in 'unrated' since it's the latter that's only included on the Criterion DVD edition, Robocop seriousily needs a director's approved remastered hidef transfer.

For future reference, if you think an image might be too large, then just put spoiler tags around it.

Neither does Barnes & Noble or any other place on the internet.

Criterion still has it for $32.

That's disappointing, but I'm glad I upgraded my dvd to blu this last sale.

also on the robo cc cover they probably wouldnt put "023" on the spine it would probably just be "23".

i love how alot of people were saying that chungking wasnt going to go oop... and now it is

g 01-18-11 12:54 AM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Some on criterion forum think that with Chungking they are going to repress it with new upc code in a plastic case instead of digipack. They say the DVD is not listed as oop. They say the same thing is going on with leopard DVD and the Bd is still available. This is a gamble whether it is oop. And criterion shows at least 250 chungking BD in stock and they usually have real time inventory.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
They did redo Bottle Rocket in a plastic case, which bugs me because I'd much rather have that than the digipak.

Are the only ones that were released to stores in digipacks? I prefer the plastic case anyway and would love if they repressed it.
