Criterion will be the only company releasing physical media at some point in the future.

I don't just sincerely believe that Freddy Got Fingered belongs in the Criterion Collection, but with John Waters movies now being released by them I don't even think it would be that out of place anymore.

On a random note, I finally got my gravity Falls Blu rays. Pretty good commentaries so far. And the lithograph is quite big, which was nice. A little bent though but oh well. I hope the one they lost in the mail wasn’t signed...

The Walt Disney Company now also owns: Zardoz Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Myra Breckinridge Zorro, the Gay Blade (Criterion should make Freddie Got Fingered spine #1000 just to gently caress with everyone who is expecting it to be some big title like Citizen Kane or The Godfather)

Same for us, one side of the tube was dented. My wife and I spent a few days watching each episode with commentary. (Make sure you press down on the Double Dipper commentary to get that second commentary). It's great to have a bluray with easter eggs again. Just disappointed that the pilot apartently isn't on the disk.

Same. What else released around the same time even comes close to what it was doing? I think Waters would also agree.

CPL593H posted:I thought the 20th Century Fox thing fell through. What's up with this? - Disney made a stock + cash offer for $52 billion and change - Comcast lined up a bunch of financing and came in with an all-cash offer of $65 billion - After hemming and hawing a bit, Disney increased its offer to $71 billion It now appears that Comcast will not attempt to top the Disney offer, so now it resides in the purview of regulators. The deal still won't close until 12 - 18 months from now, though.

Verhoeven definitely belongs in the Criterion collection, his stuff has never been fully appreciated, even when he had big hits, and the material seems to only become more and more relevant as time goes on.

As an attorney in DC, I'm kind of hoping to work on this merger. They're probably going to have to hire a couple hundred attorneys to get through the government approval.

CPL593H posted:Who owns the Technicolor dye print of the original movie? Where is it physically? Lucasfilm's Probably at Iron Mountain's salt mine. I think another is in the BFI archive. A premiere quality restoration could be created by using the 1985 interpositive as an editing guide besides the opening crawl/shot (which was changed for the 1979 re-issue), then dropping the bulk of the altered 35mm camera negative. Damaged or missing footage replaced by scans of the B&W color separations, which were created prior to the negative being used for printing and subsequent edits. It might even be possible to drop in the effects shots from the VistaVision elements unless the final composite only exists in the 35mm camera negative. I know the 4K restoration of Blade Runner went back to the 65mm elements for effects shots instead of the 35mm dupes. It would be funny if the backlash on The Last Jedi and Solo ends up being what gets the original trilogy released.

Would not disagree. A local theater has been doing a Verhoeven month for July. Total Recall, Showgirls, RoboCop, Basic Instinct, and Starship Troopers. Never saw Showgirls or Basic Instinct before. Showgirls was insane, and Basic Instinct is next week. It’s been a good month.

Basic Instinct is above average neonoir with terrible sexual politics (even for the early 90s). Also a reminder that besides being a great film-maker, Verhoeven's a great addition to any commentary track, especially paired with Arnie.

It's a good drinking game.

Arnie commentaries are great because they always seem like the first time he's ever seen the movie, and it's very clear that he's a guy who fast forwards to fight scenes.

The best is Arnie's commentary for Total Recall... when his character grabs an innocent guy to use for a human shield, Arnie laughs and exclaims, "total disregard for human life!"
