The Bava bevy! Criterion can't counter that.
I just want to see their Oshima line-up.

Ironweed? That's a distinctive release.
I'm interested in Ruthless and China Gate, and they're both on Netflix Instant for convenience's sake. How would you recommend them, Swoon?

ruthless is an easier recommendation because it's a solid noir. china gate is a lot of fun in a dirty dozen sort of way - just don't expect anything realistic or not absurdly pro-america.
Maaaaaaaybe this news is more of a fit for the horror OT, but I know there's plenty of Argento fans in here, so this feels like a good place to put it: Synapse Films nabs the rights for Demons 1/2, Tenebrae, and Phenomena, and are planning on releasing all four in 2013.

Yeah, it's definitely Lord of the Flies. It could be hinting at a Straw Dogs upgrade, though.
Nolan mentioning Greed in a Criterion Top 10 might have significance.

That happens fairly early on in the book, before anything of consequences happens to him and Ralph. I wouldn't call it a spoiler, lol.

The Driver will be mine.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It's really depressing that some of those are coming from a boutique video company.
I'm about ready to start evaluating which movies I think will never hit Blu-ray and start buying them on Vudu, especially if I can get my hands on the DVDs and do the $5 upgrade.

I made sure to grab Play Time once I heard they were dwindling. It's a decision I don't regret.
Those Twilight Time releases sure are something.

Thanks for the heads up, I ordered Playtime.
So does that bring the current OOP blu-rays to:
The Third Man
The Man Who Fell to Earth
Pierrot Le Fou
Chungking Express
Playtime
?
Am I missing any?
Dragoon En Regalia

These are the two I snagged around Christmas. I ordered Playtime much earlier and found CE at my local B&E.
Where did you hear that Playtime quantities were dwindling? I hate being caught off-guard like this :lol
ThanksVision

man out of this list the only one that I don't have that I would want is pierrot le fou. Shame I probably won't find it for a reasonable price.
Dragoon En Regalia

Someone mentioned it on the Criterion Forums and, quick as I sometimes am, I made sure to pick it up ASAP. I wish I could say the same for The Man Who Fell to Earth, though...

When do you estimate the next 50% off sale will be? I am asking because I have made some money to spend and I believe it was around March last year. I don't own any Criterion BRs; how many BRs should I start with?
Barnes and Noble sales are in July and November and then sometimes Criterion will have a sale once or twice a year that usually only lasts a day or two, and it's almost always completely random.
Kilgore Trout

Hopefully Amazon continues to price match like they did when Barnes and Noble had their sale in November because their prices were the same or better and postage was cheaper, and they even kept the sale prices for most of the discs well into December.
something...awesome?
just saying in criterion was releasing an extended cut of a peckinpah film, it'd be news.
Dragoon En Regalia
Member
Something awesome, yeah.
All Criterion's got for Peckinpah is Straw Dogs, so the Major Dundee from TT seems like a great deal.
Oh: new Tati discs sound just as nifty.
Never replaced by Playtime DVD after I sold it in preparation of the BD, so I just rushed to Amazon to grab it before I saw this post. Oh well. Better safe than sorry.
I wish they'd actually take five minutes to make announcements of this stuff. It used to be a massive deal when anything went OOP. I never even saw a comment about Chungking Express.

Assuring... I just signed up for Hulu Plus to get some starter movies. The app is horribly broken on my Nexus 7 but at least it's good on my Roku.

I'm sure their address information's nothing new, but Gabin might as well be some kind of clue.

Saw this on their Facebook earlier, chuckled hard.
I'd cry tears of joy if they release La Bete Humaine on bluray.

I hope this doesn't come off as too spam-like, but a few years back when I saw Pierrot Le Fou was going out of print I panicked and bought a copy, even though I hadn't seen the film and didn't have a Blu Ray player. Now I do, but it's still shrinkwrapped and all that and I've been hesitant to open it since I'm not particularly fond of the movie. I'm running low on cash these days and figure I might as well try fund some stuff I do like with it since it seems to sell for a decent price. I don't have any experience selling/trading online, especially when it comes to OOP stuff, is ebay my best option? Or should I seek out something more specialized? I'd be more than willing to trade for other blus, too.
These Olive and Twilight Time releases are way too tantalizing, ugh.

I can smell Art Theatre Guild releases a mile away now. They'll probably just start with Ohshima, of course. Teruyama's a ways off.

So much Ozu goodness. Time to resubscribe.
Kilgore Trout

Terayama only did two feature length films with the Art Theatre Guild not counting Emperor Tomato Ketchup which is probably way too offensive to be released.
edit: Nvm, three, but yeah, he's not an obvious pick.
It's great to see more Ozu added. What Did the Lady Forget is a great comedy that I heartily recommend. I'm also glad they added Carmen Comes Home since they already had the sequel.
