I got my copy of 8 1/2 today (looks fantastic, by the way), only to find a security sticker on the top of the disc itself. Unfortunately I didn't notice until after I had put it in my PS3 and it started making horrible sounds. It seems to be working fine now, thankfully, but how does something like that even happen?

You know those plastic security tags stores put on DVDs and CDs? One of those was stuck on the face of the disc.

I was paying attention to something else when I opened up the case and popped it in the player.

No, it came stuck on the disc. I didn't notice it was on the disc because when I opened the wrapping and the case I wasn't paying much attention.

I think TheDuke is referring to the security stickers that come on the case to prevent people from opening the case (that also says the movie title). I think Suprmallet is referring to the stickers that are many 0.33" x 1", and that have a magnet or a little electronics in them. That sucks, Suprmallet. Glad everything seems to be working ok.

Oddly enough, my BD of Kagemusha had the same issue when I bought it back during the last Barnes and Noble Criterion sale. Thankfully, I caught the sticker before I put it into the player and was able to remove it without any damage. I wonder if they have some glitches at the pressing plant?

So true! I would think that Walkabout would be an eye popper; I kind of wish they had never mentioned it way back in the early announcement of upcoming Criterion blu disks, makes the waiting seem much longer. I think Walkabout is now the only one unreleased from that batch.

They did confirm that it's still coming on their Facebook page, but no concrete details were given. Interestingly, Walkabout is available as a Netflix Instant Streaming film right now. Haven't seen the quality -- or whether it's even anamorphic -- but it's there.

I bet Criterion lost the rights, like 'Ran'

I hope Criterion continues to pick up OOP Fox Lorber releases from director's like Godard and Truffaut. A lot of those films deserve the proper treatment, and on Blu-ray too. I'm especially hoping for more Truffaut though I am incredibly pleased by the news for Vivra sa vie.
