re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Or is that because the Fox shows so much more of the frame, so any area in the Fox image will have less less pixel space to present it compared to the equivalent area on the Criterion?
Plus it looks like there is more ringing along edges (edge enhancement?) on the Criterion so it gives the impression of more 'stuff' but much of it is video compression artifacts.
At least thats what it looks like to me from the screen dumps.

yeah no idea to be honest. My copy of The Leopard hasnt arrived yet from the B&N sale so cant say what my impression of the PQ is of the CC disc.
Also, I wouldnt buy the Fox without knowing more about the 'correct' colour scheme and aspect ratio. And it will take some convincing regardless, I'm used to the colour scheme on the CC dvd (which is obviously similar to the blu ray).

I always found it amusing that the Civic Television offices are filled with posters for Roger Corman films. At first I thought that perhaps those sequences were shot at New World, but they didn't have a Canadian office, did they? I don't recall Cronenberg mentioning the posters at all on the commentary track.

Has any of you had this happen to your Blu-ray Criterion titles?
I purchased the two movie set of Yojimbo and Sanjuro on the B&N sale and when I tried to play Yojimbo last night, it wouldn't load and "The disc cannot play" message popped up. My Sony player wasn't able to recognize the disc itself. I put Sanjuro next, and it load up with no problem. I also inserted Modern Times and Seven Samurai Blu-rays and they load up with no issues.
To test it one more time, I inserted the Yojimbo disc on my PS3 and it also wouldn't read it. So I can definitely say that is not a firmware issue of my player.
I e-mailed B&N to see if they can exchange the disc for me and if not, I guess I have to contact Criterion directly.

They will. Some folks had problems with both Yojimbo and Walkabout on several machines, where specific players have issues either booting the disc or maintaining stability with the audio and video.

My apologies if this has already been mentioned, I didn't see it if it was:
Posted 4 hours ago on the Criterion Facebook page:
"We're announcing new titles on Wednesday, what are you hoping for?"
I hope some of these will be BDs.

Ghost World?
The Social Network?
The Blob?
Carnival of Souls?
Fat Girl?
Those are a few I would enjoy

Does anyone know if Criterion sells or sends replacement cases?
I bought Cronos (BD) today at a shop maybe 40+ minutes from where I live. Came home to find the spine is split open possibly from a boxcutter/unboxing.

As far as I know, they do. I had a copy of Stagecoach arrive from Amazon that was similarly damaged. I emailed Jon Mulvaney and he hit me back with a quick response asking for my mailing address. A week or two later, a new case arrived in the mail free of charge.

Is $69.99 a good price for the BBS set? I know Amazon is running Criterion's cheaper this week and I wanted to grab that.
