Tom Waits: Big Time

Shouldn't this be in the HD Talk or at least DVD Talk section?

Lonestar

Too many to name

This title begs for a Criterion treatment. Hell, this begs for even a barebones blu ray release, but I'd prefer Criterion doing their magic on this one.

I agree, too, on a "Carnival of Souls" upgrade, and I'll be first in line to buy the BD of "Grand Budapest Hotel."

I also wouldn't mind "Idiocracy," given how poorly Fox has treated it.

And why not just bump a perfectly good thread just because it's seven months old?

Good question.

I also really don't think "Criterion worthy" really means what it used to. These days it seems to mean what they can get the rights to and which directors the decision makers have a hard on for.

Altman's Vincent and Theo. It would be nice to have Blu-ray versions of a restored theatrical cut and the longer Euro TV cut in widescreen.

And there's even a certain director who has had a Criterion edition of every one of his films.

Is there ANY version of One-Eyed Jacks that's anamorphic and/or doesn't look like crap?

Let me guess-forced French subtitles that I can't take off?

I'd love to see either Criterion or someone like Shout! do a comprehensive edition of Army of Darkness, with all three cuts in high definition.

You are correct.

Zut alors!

I don't suppose that there's a version which doesn't look like crap AND has removable subtitles? Why the hell do so many French discs do this?

OPPO Blu-ray players will let you move the position of subtitles up or down, so long as they're electronically-generated and not burned into the film print. If you move them down enough, you can push them off the screen. I believe there are specific models of other brands that have this feature as well, though I don't have a list.

I'll have to pull out my copy of Brook's The Professionals to try this. The subtitles (which shouldn't be there at all) have kept me from watching the film even once. And it's one of my favorite films.

sorry - merged the two threads into one ...

resume conversation.

You're a mod, it's what you do .

Once Were Warriors.

You're talking about the English subtitles that occur during Spanish dialogue? That's not supposed to be translated?

I want GHOST WORLD to come out finally

I'm sure its already been said, but Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy desperately needs a Criterion Blu Ray box set.
