How do you guys know that the RAN blu is so bad? It isn't even out yet. Whats wrong with it, is the transfer bad?

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
I can vouch for the awfulness of the Optimum release (RAN) picked it up based on good reviews and was sorely disappointed. I'm not that guy who's measuring pixels and sat numbers but I do know a good transfer when I see one and RAN looks like something a vampire wiped its ass with...twice.(thanks whistler)

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
DVDAf has list prices of $39.95 for these. Is Lionsgate serious?

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
Wherehouse.com has Ran for $35.18 and Contempt for $29.58. I saw these listed (I've got some credit with them) recently and did a "What the Hell" order, and they shipped to me Monday, got them today.
I'm going to open them up later/tomorrow (going downtown in a couple hours), but just looking at the backs of these I can say that "A.K." isn't listed on Ran. |

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
Yeah, I was surprised too. When I got the shipping notice, I figured I'd be returning the wrong discs. Nope, in hand and everything (A.K. is listed in the small print credits, after some more reading).

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
Strange. Amazon has the pre-order for Ran as a Feb 10 release date ($26.99 pre-order price).

Yeah they did, damn it. I may just spring for that UK disc when the price drops a little, it is really pricey right now.

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
From Blu-ray.com --
According to the French media publication Ecran total, Studio Canal will release its third wave of Blu-ray titles in early 2010, which includes some acclaimed movies by major filmmakers: 'Mulholland Drive' (David Lynch, 2001), 'Peeping Tom' (Michael Powell, 1960), 'That Obscure Object of Desire' (Luis Buñuel, 1977), and 'Grand Illusion' (Jean Renoir, 1937). Going from recent history with previous Studio Canal titles, most of these will be released in the UK by Optimum Home Entertainment around the same time, and possibly even in the US by Lionsgate a few months later. |

Interesting. Are they in the same packaging as the UK Blu-rays, or are they in standard cases?

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
I'm excited about Mulholland Drive
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't have the Studio Canal HD-DVD have pitch issues? |
Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
Does anyone have any info on whether Criterion still has any rights to La Grande Illusion, as well?

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
Since The Third Man is also among the announced Blu-rays from Studio Canal, I assume we'll see a stateside release sooner or later as well.

Yes, it did. This is very obvious from Ann Miller's first line of dialogue near the beginning of the movie.
Hopefully it won't be an issue this time around. |

Re: Lionsgate releasing RAN & other StudioCanal titles
Here's a list of all of the Studio Canal titles licensed to Criterion, all potential future releases from Lionsgate. (And all potential OOP Criterions).
