Hmm, is there any reason why the RoboCop criterion is OOP?

Because they no longer have the rights.

The new 4K remastered Robocop Blu-Ray is amazing, anyway. And much cheaper than a Criterion release would be.

I'll still hang onto my DVD, it's a nice collectible. Easily my favorite Criterion.

A bunch of movies are around 40% off over at Best Buy (21.99)

Link

Time Bandits is 21.99 price matched at Amazon for example. In case anyone wanted that.

 

[Ridley327]

Looks like the announcements are getting ready to come out, starting with a new edition of Cries and Whispers.

 

[Ridley327]

And it looks like it's going to be a great month for documentary fans!

 

[omgkitty]

Great month. Might have to pick up every March release.

 

[Femmeworth]

Oh shit, Hoop Dreams.

 

[overcast]

I've never seen any of those. I love basketball, hoop dreams is great?

 

[BaronLundi]

Hoop dreams is amazing. And although there is a lot of basketball in it it's not really about basketball.

 

[Fjordson]

I've never seen any of those. I love basketball, hoop dreams is great?

Eh, it's not a hardcore basketball film to be honest.

That being said, it's great and worth seeing.

 

[overcast]

Ah I read a little bit. Sounds great. I might check that out.

Any of those other movies absolute musts? Or hell, which December release? Is Time Bandits?

Oh, Barnes and Noble now has a 40% off all Blu Ray's deal. There is an online coupon available right now. Supposedly an in store one is coming later this week (I heard Thursday).

Might just grab Persona.

 

[overcast]

Yeah, 40% off + a 30% coupon to use in store.

Double post.

 

[codhand]

True, just don't like seeing that I take two spots in a row.

i know what you mean

i really do

 

[omgkitty]

Sam Smith

and Brandon Schaefer

have started a podcast! You should all check it out! The first episode is about Saul Bass.

 

[overcast]

Lmao.

I got Persona for 15 dollars. Keeping it sealed in case I want to swap it out. Just a few dents on the corner I would rather not have. It's okay though.

 

[Zombine]

Definitely going to pick up Repo Man for myself as a gift. I've never seen it before but the trailer makes me laugh.

if you like off-kilter, or black comedy it's highly entertaining.

Some samples from Synapse's 4K restoration for Susperia:

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.953460761348596.1073741830.193094600718553&type=1

Here are some sample test images created for sizing, basic color, etc. Certainly not final color, or final restored images (we still need to do restoration,and boy does this film need it). Just posting them here, so you can see some samples of the preliminary work.

 

[Steamlord]

That's gonna be a day one purchase for me.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Suspria is going on the Hall of Fame shelf when that comes out. Immediately.

 

[Ridley327]

This is a reminder that Twilight Time's January releases are going to be going up for pre-order in about 20 minutes. Fright Night is assuredly going to be the one that you won't want to sleep on (even with it being 5000 copies versus the usual 3000), but their entire early 2015 slate has been very well received at this point.

 

[killertofu]

Anyone get the Criterion Collection book?

My SO got it for me for Christmas, what a beaut.

site seems dead now.

hopefully truffaut's bride wore black will be available after the fright night stuff dies down

 

[Ridley327]

I managed to get my order in for Fright Night, but I only know I did because I got the email confirmation long before the ordering page eventually crapped out. It's pretty safe to say there's going to be one title selling out by the end of the week!

 

[canoli2006]

Fright Night ordered confirmed!

 

[Charrettizard]

Criterion's New Year photo is up!

Some obvious ones:

Inside Llewyn Davis
Before Trilogy (or just Sunrise and Sunset)
The Fischer King
Barry Lyndon (maybe, it is a Warner Bros. picture)

I'll try to edit as I figure them out.

 

[omgkitty]

From the CriterionCast:

A. Edward Yang’s A Brighter Summer Day / also, there are Two Days, One Night

B. Moonrise Kingdom? Moon Over Parador? Moon Over The Alley?

C.

D. Terrence Malick’s The New World

E.

F. Speedy

G.

H. Barry Lyndon?

I. Inside Llewyn Davis? That seems strange since it just got a Blu-ray release.

J.

K.

L. Fisher King

M.

N. Maybe N and R are The Passion of Joan of Arc?

O.

P. The Rose? La Vie En Rose?

 

[Fjordson]

Barry Lyndon would be great.

 

[omgkitty]

Barry Lyndon would be great.

It really would. The Warner blu-ray already looks pretty amazing, but the disc has no supplements at all. Absolutely love the film, but could see Warner considering this to be lesser Kubrick and having no problem letting Criterion have a go at it. They should let them do the same with Spartacus because the original blu-ray is trash.

 

[Son of Cervantes]

G and H could be Ridley Scott's The Duellists.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Could J be The Vanishing?

lol, twilight time posted on their facebook that fewer than 500 copies remain. I'm a little shocked how fast this sold, I skipped it because I imported the region free german bluray for half the price around halloween.

 

[Ridley327]

G and H could be Ridley Scott's The Duellists.

The Duelists is already out on Blu in region A, courtesy of Shout! Factory. Granted, Criterion putting out Inside Llewyn Davis is one hell of an unexpected surprise, but I feel pretty safe in saying that it's not going to be that film for those clues.

Also, Fright Night is officially sold out again from Twilight Time.

 

[bumbillbee]

So Eureka's having a 25% off sale until tomorrow, applies automatically at checkout. Picked up Gospel According to Matthew and Pont du Nord, super excited for both.

Never seen this, is it any good?

Oh this is exciting. I don't see Before. The two people in the car? Edit: Oh the two suns.

That's definitely Llewyn Davis which is strange. Love that movie, but it's so soon.

 

[killertofu]

Inside Llewyn Davis and the Before Trilogy? Yes pls

 

[FoneBone]

Q is probably Man Push Cart

 

[Charrettizard]

That's definitely Llewyn Davis which is strange. Love that movie, but it's so soon.

It might not be the Before Trilogy. I only figured this because there's a sun in the east and a sun in the west, and a moon in the middle; however, it's most likely Two Days, One Night.

I still think the Before Trilogy is on its way though.

 

[Akahige]

If it is Before Trilogy I will be crying tears of joy.

But The New World will be nice nevertheless, I wonder which cut it would be? I don't think the theatrical is on blu-ray.

Since it's Criterion, it would most likely be every cut.

I have both cuts on blu-ray. The theatrical cut disc is from Belgium if I remember correctly.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

N looks like a woman with guns taped to her, she's not burning on the stake.

Wonder what that could be? Maybe an Almodovar? That seems like something that would happen in one of his movies.

EDIT: Criterion Forum is on the case. Dressed to Kill. Duh.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Nothing duh about the armed lady, as there have been other suggestions. For example, fisher and the eye...is that One-Eyed Jacks or a version of The King and I?
