It would have been better if they just blu-rayed Happiness since it has had crappy DVD versions.

a todd solondz eclipse... imagine.

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

plus eclipse sets are barebones and normally have sub-par transfers...

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

Ugh.

Happiness would be worth it... this one was just a waste of time.

criterion looks sharper based on screenshots than the SC, but SC seems to have the right color scheme.

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

It's due to their relationship with IFC that they're releasing it. Personally, I agree that I'd rather they release Happiness if they were to release a Solondz film (and Welcome To The Dollhouse, while their at it). It's especially weird since Wartime is it's sequel...

Interesting...and here I have a PS3, meaning I can only play the Criterion one for comparison...

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

Not one of Solondz films has a decent release, so this will be a revelation, I'm sure.

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

^Do you have a link to where you found that picture? I'd like to see a bigger pic, because I can't work out what that is near the dog's ass.

The Killing.

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

I got it straight from the email.

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

I agree with NoirFan.

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

Without question The Killing. :drool:

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

awesomeness, I will be all over this. It would make a great pairing with a re-release of The Killers set. Or Night in the City or Thieves Highway :)

Clifford?

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

I'm very happy about the Solondz release. Would I have preferred another title? Hell, I want a CC box set of ALL his films, but I'll take what they give me. Maybe this can start a relationship with him and lead to more of his titles getting the proper treatment.

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

haha i was gonna say slumdog millionaire

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

Damn, I'd kill for a Criterion Happiness.

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

I must have missed the White Material announcement, I'm a huge Claire Denis fan, so this is welcomed news, and soon too.

I'd kill for A Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie or some Fassbinder on blu-ray....or a Badlands announcement. I don't buy very many films anymore...but these things could get me excited for home media again.

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

Kiss Me Deadly, outstanding! I'm extremely underwhelmed though with the rest of June's titles, but that's OK cause May is killer (buying them all but Sweetie).

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

That would be amazing. :drool: One of my absolute favorite movies - top 10 material.

From Criterion's Facebook page:

A poster on the Criterion Forum is certain that this is Satyajit Ray's Jalsaghar: Nice to see that Criterion's first Ray film won't be one from one of the four AE sets.

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

criterion just posted a video on facebook regarding a new title...seems to be hinting a little towards BLUE VELVET.

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

Must be a video of some doughnuts, then.

Man... a Criterion Blue Velvet would certainly make my April Fools' Day!

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

That's what the posters are saying. I really have no idea.

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

They just posted on facebook about releasing C.H.U.D. I said, "You can release C.H.U.D., but no Good Burger? What the Monkey?!?!" LOL

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

awww shit....it's an april fools joke.

C.H.U.D. was the movie he was talking about.

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

I do appreciate the effort they put into it:

SYNOPSIS: A rash of bizarre murders in New York City seems to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living in the sewers. With its surprisingly gritty depiction of urban life, noirish cinematography by Peter Stein (Ernest Goes to Jail), and groundbreaking makeup effects, this Reagan-era chiller remains one of the truest depictions of Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers yet put on film.

That's awesome.

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

What a shame. CHUD would have made an awesome Criterion.

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

I hope this is a hint that they've acquired the rights to Talk Radio.

Good catch!

Looks good, but no mention of Murder a la Mod's transfer quality?
