I'll get Che, but that is some god awful artwork. They shouldn't have made it look like the t-shirt design.

All over Paris, Texas and especially 8 1/2, great news!

Haven't decided on Che though, I've been buying all the Criterion Blu's day-and-date so far, though Monsoon Wedding & Howard's End may stop the streak, and like any other Soderbergh, this may have to be rented first.

that Paris, Texas cover is tops. Will pick that up and probably 8 1/2 at some point too, though I only watched my DVD of that 2-3 times over the years...need to just rent more. :helpme:

This is definitely one of the best batches of Criterion blus so far!
I just wish they had included Rosellini's War Trilogy on blu also...

They tried to make it look like Benicio Del Toro but instead it looks like Javier Bardem. IMO, of course.

I think it looks just like Benicio.

He kinda looks like Chris Cornell to me.

I ordered up a replacement Third Man case. Curious to see what they send along.

What's the deal with the replacement cases? I looked through this thread and there was mention of them but no reason.

Got my Third Man today if anyone wants to know specifics about what's shipping now. What up?

This is definitely a good batch of Criterion on Blu. Haven't seen Che, yet, so I'll probably give it a Netflix test run first. 8 1/2 is one of my favorite films, so it's a day one purchase.

Good turnaround on replacement cases, got this today:

I think I'm going to wait until they have more titles available so I can order all at once.

I haven't even seen it, but this review made me want to buy it right away. I've seen "Paris, Texas," and I really like that one...I'll definitely be checking this one out.

After e-mailing Jon Mulvaney last night about not receiving my plastic case for "The Third Man," yet, this is his reply...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for writing in!

The program has been so popular that we are currently out of the
plastic cases! We're expecting more to come in a the end of the week.
I have a record of all the payments so rest assured that as soon as we
receive more I'll be shipping one out to you!

Thanks for supporting Criterion and please accept my apologies for any
worries caused!

Best,

Jon

Awesome. It's kind of soft, but I presume that's the photography. Interesting that the previous editions had a sepia tone look to the colorless portions, whereas this is purely black and white.

Too bad Solveig Dommartin passed a couple of years ago.

Criterion lists "The Third Man" (BD and DVD) as 'Out of Print' on its website (check their official page for the movie). Folks online have asked Criterion's people to confirm that they've lost the rights to the movie and so far no answer. If you wait you may not have a chance to own "The Third Man" on Blu once the already-made Criterion copies run out. :(

Color me skeptical. That would've been an awfully short release window if the rights are gone now. Then again, stranger things...

Yes, heart attack at age 45. Apparently she lived a very colorful bohemian lifestyle (read: She was probably alcholic).

Perhaps only the cardboard packaging version is now OOP? That wouldn't explain the DVD though.

I'm hoping there might be some sort of bulk discount once all of them become available. I've got 5 to replace (I actually like the cardboard Marienbad) so I'll wait to see if this is the case.

Maybe the rumor of a remake of "The Third Man" starring Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire has something to do with this. Can't post links yet, go to chud.com for details. :sad:

where is the link to the replacement cases? I can't find it on Criterion's site.

According to Criterion's Facebook page, they have indeed lost the rights to The Third Man. Anyone who considers themselves a fan of movies, period, should order it right now, if they don't already own it. Also, they will be releasingM on Blu-ray, though there is no definite date as of yet. I'm assuming that the upcoming MoC edition will then be Region B, like their Blu-ray release of For All Mankind.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the Blu-ray version on Amazon.

Ditto, shame this is going out of print. Hopefully I will get the new case? Doubtful though. Oh well, I don't especially care.

There isn't a link, yet. Criterion hasn't officially announced them through their site because the only one available currently is "The Third Man." The other 8 cases are supposed to be available mid-November, according to Jon Mulvaney's reply to my e-mail and others' e-mails. So, I imagine it will be announced on their site when all cases are available.

If you read a few posts above, you'll see Jon's reply to me about them already running out of their first-run of replacement cases for "The Third Man," but another shipment was on its way.

late to the discussion here...what is the story on the Third Man case? Is Criterion switching to plastic over paper cases for a future releases? I also have The Man Who Fell to Earth.
also, I picked the Third Man up over the summer. still haven't watched it. I'm surprised that Criterion has already lost the rights to it.

If you ordered from Amazon then you will get the new case. I just received my copy from them last week after waiting like 2 months for them to get it back in stock and it was the new case.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Yea, I ordered a copy as well last night. They sold it at $13-$14 a month or so ago and probably sold through the older stock. (cardboard case)

Anyone seen an increase of sales on 'The Third Man' because of the OOP title? I'm at the point where I dont care as much as I did in the past about titles going Out of Print -- Just means something nicer is on the way.

But it is a quick buck.

Well, the Blu-ray is up to #25 on Amazon. I ordered a second copy to resell later.

Is anyone else waiting for Seven Samurai to be announced?

It seems like it would be an obvious choice for Blu-ray. It's one of the great films of world cinema, it was Criterion's very first DVD, and it's been one of their most popular titles.

I'm pretty sure it was #2, #1 was Grand Illusion.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
actually, Grand Illisiun is spine #1, but it wasn't released for about a year after they started releasing DVDs. so SS was probably first.
