DVD Beaver review of The Lady Vanishes - nice to see Crook's Tour is 1080p.

The Fassbinder BRD set is currently out of print pending an upgrade.

Hopefully we'll get this and Lili Marleen on BLU in the next year.

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

The State of Things is, um, an interesting film. It won the Golden Lion at Venice, but it has a minimal narrative and was shot on a very low budget. I haven't seen it in years (I don't even own a copy!) and am eager to re-evaluate it. Needless to say it's not currently among my list of favorites.

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

Director's cut could mean anything. He may not have cut a second, but perhaps placed scenes in a slightly different sequence or changed the music or who knows what.

I'm inclined to believe there is no change between DVD and Blu, but I've yet to see any 100% confirmation which just goes to show the shitty quality of DVD reviews these days.

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

I just received the last of the Blus I ordered during the Barnes & Noble sale--Secret Sunshine. Although it states on the back of the case that there's a booklet, one didn't come with my copy. Has anyone else bought this title and found that you're missing a booklet?

I dropped Jon M. an email letting him know. Hopefully it was an oversight and not endemic to the run.

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

^I had the same thing happen with Secret Sunshine. I sent John an email and he put one in the mail for me that day.

Has anyone here noticed anything about the audio on White? Apparently there's an issue with it and Criterion is going to be issuing replacement discs.

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

i think this was discussed here, but why is The Third Man OOP? and will it go back in print?

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

They lost the rights, and an inferior Blu-ray was released by Studio Canal. The likelihood of it going back in-print is pretty slim.

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

I just sat down to watch 12 Angry Men, and this being my first time, I was surprised to notice that on the cover art of my blu-ray copy, jurors 11 and 12 have been switched position. Researching online, all the promo shots I could find feature the correct order. Anyone has the same issue?

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

I still have a sealed The Third Man :thumbsup:

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

You care to part with it? :)

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

it is a great movie. never understood the need to keep anything bought sealed.

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

I haven't played it yet, but the issue apparently has to do with incorrect surround encoding. The audio on all three movies is 2.0 surround, but when you engage surround mode on White the sound field supposedly collapses to mono. This doesn't happen with the other two movies. Annoying if so; at least they're going to replace.

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

Any word if they got the rights to Red River and plan on releasing it on Blu?

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

Yeah, they've had Red River for a while. I expected to see it released this year- should definitely be on the scheduled in 2012 at some point.

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

is that confirmed is it? Good news.

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

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

I've never seen the movie, but what about that picture points at "Being John Malkovitch"?

Also, speaking of pictures, did anyone ever figure out that doughnut pic Criterion posted on Facebook a few months back?

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

speaking of rivers - how about

John Cusack's character is a puppeteer who specializes in marionettes. His wife, played by Cameron Diaz, has a pet monkey who wears a diaper.

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

Yes Yes YES!
I've been hesitating to break the seal on my copy for several years now, expecting any month they are going to announce this so I can sell off my copy.
I would love to see it happen in 2012.
This film is ripe for an upgrade and you're right- it would look glorious.

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

The River is one of my top 10 most wanted titles on Blu-ray. I'm sure Criterion will get around to it eventually.

This hint was posted on their facebook page. Any ideas?

BLITHE SPIRIT is what the general consensus seems to be

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

Perhaps we really will be getting a Lean/Coward set.

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

The general consensus on Facebook are a bunch of idiots that think it's Hook. But yeah it's Blithe Spirit.

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

Criterion usually includes a few films into their clues

I don't think the monkey in the diaper is supposed to be a single film


I'm thinking we have a criterion bluray of
1. Every which way but loose
2. Puppet master
3. Look who's talking

Coming our way

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

why does everyone think they're a comedian?

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

Oh so sorry. Let me be more serious then

1. king kOng
2. Some obscure unwatchable French film about puppets. Like. Le puppeteeri
3. Some equally unwatchable French film about a baby. Le diaperes Es dirtye

If you're not interested in Criterion releases, get out of the thread. Future threadcraps will be deleted.

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

Wow. I guess attempts at humor aren't appreciated around here.

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

good attempts are

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

i'm interested in upcoming titles, but i'm not interested in "criterion releases"
though i have a number of their blurays- crumb, gimme shelter, killing, paths of glory, and on and on.

but i'm not buying something cause it says "criterion"

and IMHO 80-90% of their releases are garbage, they have people convinced it's an important film cause they put their banner on it.

the wes anderson releases show they could care less about releasing an important film.

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

And the response to failed attempts is "Get out of the thread"?

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

Thread title is "Criterion Releases". Sub-forum is "HD Talk". Feel free to stick around the sub-forum, but it's pretty clear you're not interested in being here.

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

:thumbsup:

I can overlook failed attempts at humor, but it's the comment above yours that shows he's more interested in threadcrapping.
