God, I'm so ready for a 4k Criterion Hoffman blu-ray, I saw the new transfer at the Cinerama here and it was jawdropping.

FYI, Breathless is also getting a repackaging for November. The dual format edition is going OOP in favor of separate DVD and Blu editions.Magic Hate Ball posted:God, I'm so ready for a 4k Criterion Hoffman blu-ray, I saw the new transfer at the Cinerama here and it was jawdropping. I want to give it another chance and P&P restored Technicolor is easy to convince me to rewatch. It's just idiotic how Lionsgate is practically holding the StudioCanal library hostage in the US.

One Eyed Jacks looks really interesting. It has the guy from Paths Of Glory who Kubrick fired (he was the crying, slow witted one) and Marlon Brando. How could you go wrong? They're both sneezing actors.

Well I also don't want to make one of my favorite companies lose money because someone hosed up. I don't think it's right. If indeed it's a mistake

Yeah I have been re watching a lot of Noah Baumbach movies lately and he is kind of underrated as a director. He is a perfect blend of astute observations and really mean that makes him an interesting director.

If indeed it's a mistake Criterion wouldn't take the hit at all. They have a price that they'll sell their movies to Amazon for, and Amazon pays that regardless of what they charge. Here's how pricing tends to work (relatively simplified): Criterion sells it to a store for a set price (which can vary based on contracts and poo poo). The store then sells it to the customer for hopefully a higher price so they can make money. Now, let's say your brick and mortar store accidentally sells a movie for 5 bucks. Criterion loses nothing. Sales get weird, since sometimes the company will pay the difference and all that jazz. I don't know enough about Criterion's business dealings to really give you a good explanation on how sales are handled (for example, is Amazon given a cheaper price BECAUSE it helps Criterion determine how many sets to press up initially?) Clearance is something else completely.

You've heard of msrp right? Manufacturers suggested retail price. This is just a price given that you will make a good profit on carrying their items. Criterion would be the manufacturer. Criterion would sell to Barnes and nobles and Amazon at a whole sale price and Barnes and Noble normally sells at msrp. Amazon could sell lower and make less of a profit per unit but sell more units. That's always been Amazon's MO. Criterion makes the same money either way even if people pay more at Barnes and Noble. Criterion probably makes more money if you buy directly from them and not during their flash sale.

Hard Eight is clearly where they're going next. It's the only one that hasn't been released by anyone else and Criterion has a major hard-on for releasing directorial debuts.

They're both sneezing actors. Ever watch a cheap science fiction film from like the '50s or '60s and you can see that there's this really solid idea in there but it's getting buried under the bad effects and just the general lack of a visual/narrative/whatever grammar in which to express what the film is try to say? It's kinda like that. Like it feels like it would've been a wildly different, and much stronger, film if it had the next decade's worth of changes in the Western genre to draw upon (in terms of film grammar). It's not a bad film by any stretch, and it's definitely worth watching. And it'll be great to have it available again. But it definitely feels like a swing and a miss, a film that's really good for a footnote of a film, but it's still just a footnote. If that makes sense.

From people who saw the restoration, the film will probably be worth a re-evaluation based on seeing it properly. It's been stuck in public domain hell for decades other than a Paramount laserdisc. One Eyed Jacks was one of the last features shot in VistaVision, so it should look fantastic.

Hey, Boogie Nights got a Crtierion Laserdisc! So, PTA is already part of the club. He just never made it onto a digital media, yet.

I'm fifteen minutes into My Darling Clementine, my first John Ford movie. I can already see why Kurosawa idolized him.

It's weird, My Darling Clementine is like the one John Ford movie I've seen that I wasn't that into. It seems like it's everyone's favorite (that or the Searchers. I think my favorite's Stagecoach).

For the FilmStruck beta people, they added a good amount of new stuff. For the people that have to wait for launch, this is going to blow your pants off. I'm so hyped for the full release.
