You guys think Bergman's Trilogy will eventually get the blu ray treatment?
There's a great price on the box set nearby, but I'd hate to buy and then find out about a future blu release.

FYI, anything encoded at 1080i on a Criterion disc is upconverted from standard-def.

Is that the same guy who did the Robocop cover? Where can I find/buy all this personalized covers?

As long as the thread doesn't become cluttered with them, and people start using spoiler tags, I don't think it's a major problem.

I was getting confused if that was an announced Criterion Blu-ray as it doesn't look like a custom cover at all..they simply used the art from the movie poster.

:up::up:

The only thing that bothers me is the comparison to the UK disc almost reads like we all already own it and in other reviews he totally disregards comparisons to a movies' HD DVD counterpart.

hmm, looks slightly more detailed with the extra grain but not that much better to upgrade over the UK disc

I'm disappointed Criterion couldn't get John Travolta for an interview on this. I've never heard his opinion on the film so it would of been nice to hear his side of things. Plus, and it was a long-shot, but I was hoping for a film appreciation commentary track by Quentin Tarantino, or in the very least an interview. Last time I heard, "Blow-Out" was still in his top 3 favorite films of all time (The other two being "Taxi Driver" and "Rio Bravo"). He is always animated when taking about DePalma films so it would of been awesome to have him participate in this Criterion edition. I still plan to get this though as soon as I get a Blu-ray player since I still own the MGM DVD.

I've read that "More!" could entail quite a bit.

I would love a Tarantino Appreciation on Blow Out like they did with Ti West on House. I am still awaiting the blu-ray of The Hidden Fortress with a George Lucas Appreciation, I believe the DVD has that.


I was wondering if anyone thinks that Criterion might release A Serbian Film? With all the controversy and everything surrounding it you would think it would be a good fit. They did release AntiChrist afterall.
In fact I would love a Criterion of Irreversible too just to have a sick-o quadruple feature with Salo already being available

From what I've read about the film, I'd rather have A Serbian Film never be distributed by a major label -- especially Criterion -- and just get an indie release instead. Why, oh why, did I read Harry Knowles comments on the film and then look at those AICN talkbacks. The thing sounds disgusting.

Salo and Antichrist were actual films, with actual plots, that happened to feature some depraved/unsettling sequences.

A Serbian Film is by all accounts and description artless garbage wrapped in a flimsy package of political allegory. Read the absolutely sickening descriptions of what was cut from the UK/R2 DVD and explain to me how any of that stuff is justified?

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on the original standard release of Blow out, but Thank you for releasing it on bluray. Now I won't have to but the standard and then buy the bluray later on. But $28 is a hefty price. i'll have to save up for that.

It'll be around $18 from B & N during their Criterion sale in June or July.

I usually wait for the BN sale, but with Blow Out I can't wait, probably my most anticipated release of the year, placed my pre-order for $26 at Amazon. I'd also wished they would have got QT involved, he seems easy enough to track down and eager to talk about anything involving film.

The "more" for The Mikado:

Short silent film promoting the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company’s 1926 stage performance of The Mikado
Deleted scene with Ko-Ko’s “I’ve Got a Little List” song
Excerpts from 1939 radio broadcasts of the stage productions_The Swing Mikado_ and The Hot Mikado

Here's the "More!" on Blow Out:


- Interview with star John Travolta from a 1982 French television news broadcast
- Murder à la Mod, De Palma’s 1967 feature film
So we get a full-length film as a supplementary feature, presumably also in HD. Very nice. That's several Criterion Blu-rays now with feature films as extras. Has anyone seen Murder a la Mod? De Palma's early works are at least interesting experiments, though I'm not familiar with this one.

Guy Gadbois 01-30-11 05:57 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Apparently, Something Weird Video held the rights to Murder a la Mod at one point. There is a trailer of it on youtube if anybody is curious. Pretty cool extra even if it ends up being a turd.

It's the film Dennis Franz's character is watching on television in Blow Out.

Maybe someone here could help me out. I remember a while back I thought I saw there was going to be a new Criterion release that seemed like some kind of exploitation film that was in black and white, had nazi imagery, and the main images I saw were of a woman-- maybe in a position of power-- who was maybe topless or maybe had some real skimmpy thing on up top and with nazi imagery.

I know that's a real stream of consciousness sentence up there, but that's really all I can remember from it. Am I hallucinating?

These extras are no longer listed on Criterion's website, hopefully they haven't been dropped.
