I think I'll wait for the eventual slimmed-down keepcase release. I like BotRK, but not enough to devote that much shelf space to it.

I believe there will be a plain digibook release as well. Sony hasn't re-released any of their digibooks in keepcases that I know of.

My copy of Picnic Of Hanging Rock, which I ordered because of this thread, arrived today and I can't wait to watch it once I've gotten my days' work done. I'm looking to watch more of Peter Weir's work because I'm a huge fan of The Truman Show and Dead Poets Society. Just wanted to leave a note of thanks for pointing me to it

Any news on My Neighbor Totoro for blu-ray? My girlfriend has been yammering about this for some time now and I really want to see Nausicaa as well but Ghibli/Disney seem to be dragging their asses on this, probably recruiting Miley Cyrus to voice Nausicaa or some crap  In other news, just got Robocop on BD, can't wait to pop this in and Verhoeven out! EDIT: Wikipedia posted:A remastered Blu-ray sourced from a 6K filmscan was released on July 14, 2010 in Japan. It includes a uncompressed Japanese LPCM stereo track, a English dub and English subtitles. There is no date set for Nausicaa Blu-ray in North America. Awwww, what the hell, this is even worse!

Disney will use the same transfer, but there's probably a lag due to the Japanese trying to stem the 'reverse importation' of it back into Japan from America. The American BluRay will be substantially cheaper than the eighty dollar import.

The UK and Australia have got a release dates of 18th October and November respectively, so I imagine USA should be getting it around that time.

C'mon Criterion I'm expecting (hoping?) that will be announced for December, or at least early next year. Has there ever been any word on a Vertigo blu-ray? I ask because I bought the poster yesterday and realized I hadn't seen it in way too long.

Vertigo probably needs a lot of work. It's one thing for Psycho, a B&W film, to be cleaned up for Blu-Ray, but the restoration is already 14 years old. Perhaps they can use the mono-to-5.1 process on Vertigo to get a better remix this time. The mono track on the Masterpiece Collection DVD really isn't that bad. Rear Window had to have its audio restored from a 35mm print and it sounds great.

Apparently at least portions of Lionsgate's October 5th wave is already on shelves at Best Buy, possibly as another set of 'Best Buy exclusives.' People at Blu-ray.com have reported seeing Blair Witch Project, Bad Lieutenant, Wonderland, and High Tension. The posts are far from definitive, so others may be out there as well.

That's all? Imagine if Criterion had this film. Multiple cuts (the '27 Paramount cut licensed from MoMA, plus the restoration), multiple scores (Huppertz, Alloy Orchestra, and even the lovely Moroder one), Von Harbou's novel, multiple commentaries, perhaps the Berlin premiere footage as an alternate angle, and even the previous DVD's extras like the documentary and a revised restoration comparison. I was OK with giving a pass on their other silents in terms of supplements, but Kino has no excuse to be this no-effort with such a major film and charging a premium for it.

They didn't even bother to port over their old commentary. Granted, they'd have to re-cut it for the new version, but that wouldn't be so tough.

qbert posted:I've never seen Metropolis. I take it the film is probably worth risking a blind buy? I know I'll probably get poo poo for this but I don't think so. Metropolis is considered a classic, but I think it excites film nerds because of lot of things other than the actual movie. There's some good stuff to be sure (the visuals are pretty incredible), but remember we're talking about a silent film from 1927 that's been hacked to death in the editing room and people have been trying to restore back to it's "original" version since its release. It's a film that typical moviegoers are probably not going to find interesting.

qbert posted:I've never seen Metropolis. I take it the film is probably worth risking a blind buy? Yes. Not only is it an entertaining and easily accessible silent, the technical aspects hold up extremely well. The story isn't the most complex in theme, but no worse than Avatar. The new footage helps a lot - the subplots with Josaphat, Georgy, and Der Schmaler add a lot of depth. The music score is one of the best ever composed for a film, too.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:As I don't really understand Regions and such, if I were to buy this, would I be able to play it on my PS3, or is that locked or something? Most players sold in the US (including the PS3) are Region A players, which means they can only play region A and region free BD's. Region free players (capable of playing any region locked BD) tend to be expensive and a sort of specialty item; not to mention many of them need to be modified in order to be region free - so if you own one, chances are you would know it.

Not to say that The General is a bad movie or that it doesn't look fantastic but every time I try to watch it, I fall asleep and I don't get all of the praise it was given during release. I'm probably going to Netflix Metropolis first.

I heard that there would be an alternate score by Alloy Orchestra (a junk orchestra touring right now performing their score to the new version of Metropolis), but I don't see it listed in these special features. bummer.
