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

https://youtu.be/ANxxsFUojco?si=xPR2jbG3_i35xdvH

Years ago, possibly before I even moved to Toronto (in 2006), I was browsing in a used record/movie store in a hipster part of town here called The...

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

Awesome to see I AM CUBA back in circulation. I’ve wanted to see it — and the 90-minute doc that appears to have been ported over (which is also on YouTube incidentally) — but the Milestone DVD...

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

I had a ticket to see the second showing of ALL THE BEAUTY at TIFF last year (both sold out extremely fast), and after the first screening played to great notices, the second was mysteriously yanked...

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

Kinda prefer the first one, I’m afraid, but by a small margin. I found the tonal shift between the movies and their characters too jarring, I suppose. I’ve always given To credit, though, for making...

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

I’m definitely disappointed in the extras for this set. I’m actually relieved, though, that there’s no commentary, as I don’t see Sam Deighan as an expert on Hong Kong cinema and culture so much as...

And another cult movie icon visits the closet, at 97 years old! :thumbsup: No stories he hasn’t told before, but glad he’s still around to tell them again.

Steelbooks, no less (https://laboutique.carlottafilms.com/en/products/heroic-trio-executioners). I'm sure it won't be too many more years now. :lol:

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

Noticed most of the other Criterion pre-orders are also that price on Amazon.ca, but I'm assuming they'll all drop. Unobstructed View has most of them at $54 list, and pre-order pricing around $41....

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

It's region B (and about $25 US shipped). But doesn't everyone have region-free players here? ;) (and yes, I already know the answer)

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

If anyone could break through the rights issues surrounding those two, it might be Criterion, but I won't hold my breath. If they did, though, that might signal an opening up of the Golden Princess...

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

As a label, Olive always seemed to fly under the radar. I was surprised recently when I saw how many titles they actually released over the years. Yet only a handful of 'Signature' editions.

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

Sometimes it feels like Blue Underground is only doing UHD to maintain some visibility in the marketplace. Seems like they've been coasting on their existing catalog for ages now, rather than...

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

The sequels don't, despite what the French may think of their worthiness on UHD, or how they package them to convince that crowd. That's where I think you're not way off in wondering if Criterion...

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

Like I said, there's undoubtedly some method behind decisions like this. Just because a 4K release exists somewhere, Criterion must be weighing other factors when considering whether to do the same....

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

Wow. I remember some of those conversations from here. Ages ago. How far they've come. Well, not really, and they're still doing Blu-only (or Blu/DVD) on the majority of new releases. Considering...

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

Which then leaves open the possibility that they're just going to get people to buy it twice. I know it doesn't seem possible for such an exalted label, and many people will probably hold off in hope...

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

Well, in this new batch DAISIES has no 4K option (not that anyone's complaining about it). Neither do recent announcements like EVE'S BAYOU, CURE, LA LLORONA, ARSENSIC AND OLD LACE, WORLD CINEMA 4,...

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

I'm in this camp, too. Don't have 4K and probably never will. I'll probably die of old age before all or even most my favourite Criterion titles get the 4K treatment anyway (hell, I've even taken...

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

From a marketing perspective, it's smart. They'll just get the 4K people to buy it all over again down the road. And they will.

The art for the IA trilogy reminds me of the cover of a book on East...

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

The UK had a release in 2018 from Masters of Cinema[/QUOTE]

Picked that up a few years back (fairly cheap on Amazon marketplace, too) to replace a VCD, of all things! It's a pretty good release....

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

And "Take off, eh!" would – for a time – become a common phrase heard across the land! And "hoser", of course.

And the song was pretty cool, too. If only it was used in the movie – just imagine...
