People are reporting that they still can find The Third Man Blu-Ray at Border's brick and mortar stores. So if you feel you've missed your chance, you might want to shop around.

It's true, I just bought a copy at my local Border's about a month ago, it was listed at $34.99 but Border's coupons are easy enough to find to make it even cheaper.

From cf.org:quote:I can't disclose too much information, but a source has told me that Criterion is in the middle of restoring The Thin Red Line under supervision of Terrance Malick and they hope to get it out by the end of the year. This source is extremely reliable so I would believe what they say. This is awesome if true. I've been holding out on buying TTRL just in case something like this was in the works.

 That's like 5 titles I can scratch off my top 10 list now.

Maybe I'll be able to understand The Thin Red Line now. Good call for Criterion if its true.

Criterion email posted:Dear Criterion collectors, I actually don't own any of those. I might pick up Diary of a Country Priest, even though it's one of the few Bressons I don't like very much. Tempting to grab as many as I can for future eBay purposes.

I may grab The Tales of Hoffmann, I've been wanting to see that for a while. Trafic? Hasn't that only been out like a year?

Criminal Minded posted:I may grab The Tales of Hoffmann, I've been wanting to see that for a while. Trafic? Hasn't that only been out like a year? Year and a half, but I'm guessing they knew this was coming, considering all the Essential Art House films going OOP. They probably put them out just to get something out there since they knew they wouldn't have time to make full editions. If I had confidence that Lionsgate would put out better editions of some of these I wouldn't mind so much.

Jeez that sucks. I guess I will pick up Peeping Tom, Tales of Hoffmann, and Trafic sometime soon so I don't have to pay out the nose for them later. The others I don't really care about, or own already, although Small Back Room and The Fallen Idol were both pretty good. I would pick up Grand Illusion but there are no doubt a ton of copies sitting in stores across the country already so waiting on it might not hurt.

Anyone know of any big sales looming for blu-ray criterions? I have a lot of movies I want to pick up, including Pierrot Le Fou, but I wouldn't mind getting it a bit cheaper. I missed out on the Third Man because I was avoiding this thread like the plague while I was unemployed, however now that I have a decent job I'm just waiting for a good sale to come around.

I don't know much about rights issues and licensing with regard to particular transfers, but I can't imagine Lionsgate would put any of these movies out without using the Criterion restorations.

Primarily yes, a bunch of those films could use better, or any, special features. With Lionsgate one can never be sure about anything, though I guess if the actual transfers were licensed from Studio Canal then they'll be reused.

I called this a few months ago! Thankfully, I already got Grand Illusion (EAH edition) and Peeping Tom... but Optimum (UK) has Blus planned for this year with new remasters. I think their SC ports last year were region free, so these might as well. Don't splurge unless you have money to burn or can't live without the extras. I guess I'll go ahead and get Pierrot Le Fou since I've wanted to see it again.

Blah. Watching how it appears that Lionsgate is going to handle their release of Ran, I don't trust them do justice to any of these titles. Luckily there's only a few from this list that I really need to have. I was holding out for a Trafic blu-ray (I know it's not his best, but I still enjoy it) but I guess now I'll finally break down and pick it up. Definitely on the fence for a few of these, like Le corbeau, for instance.

The Pierrot Blu-Ray is only 24 on Amazon so I went ahead and picked it up. I liked it enough to consider watching it again but since I don't trust Lionsgate to do basically anything correctly I might as well buy it.

Man, I own seven of those on that list, but I still have a way to go. I don't want to miss out on some of those releases.  Never got my Nights of Cabiria either.

FYI, buying two premium releases might be cheaper off Criterion's site than even Amazon. Pierrot Blu + Trafic = $54. On Amazon, it's $60 plus S&H (if not super saver). This will be the first time I buy directly from Criterion (besides a Janus shirt a few months ago).

I just got back from seeing the new Janus 35mm restoration of M. Hulot's Holiday... beautiful! It does have a lot of printed-in scratches in opticals, but it's very nicely detailed. This is going to look great on BluRay.

Eric Skillman released this image today for one of his upcoming Criterion covers, but removed the title treatment as the film hasn't been announced yet: Click here for the full 511x720 image.

Come to think of it I can't think of a "criterion worthy" film that takes place on a ski slope or chairlift/gondola. EDIT: Beaten by FFD, making my speculation useless. Also is The Spy Who Came in from the Cold worth buying, I'm not expecting The Third Man quality but I'm really in the mood for a good spy flick.

TheManWithNoName posted:Got my Pierrot Le Fou bluray today, just in time I guess since Amazon has it at shipping in 10-14 days now. My copy came freakishly fast. I ordered it on thursday afternoon, used free shipping, and it was at my house on Saturday. Now if only Criterion would hurry up with my Trafic/Diary of a Country Priest I'd be in business.

Apparently a Hollis Frampton set is in the works. I've been meaning to check out his work. All I know about him is: * experimental filmmaker * "Zorn's Lemma" is on the TSPDT 1000 list * someone here didn't like him (PeacefulAnarchy, I think?)

If anyone is concerned with Amazon running out, I just got a copy at Borders. Their price is $39.99 but Borders Rewards members get a 33% off coupon this week that brings it to almost the same price as Amazon.

All I know about him is: I'd rather see a collection of Len Lye, if any experimental filmmakers are to be considered. A few of his GPO films were issued by BFI in England, but none of his films are available in the US legally.
