The Filmstruck thread got locked so is it okay if we post about that in here? Because as amazing a service that it is, about half the time I try to log into it on my computer it has trouble logging in. Leaving me staring at the processing sign instead of good movies. I emailed them about this, but I'm wondering if this has happened to anybody else?

Here's the Amazon listing for the world cinema box. They've put the box sets up at stupid cheap prices the last few releases, looks like they might have stopped that.

It's a 2-disc Blu-Ray, so they'll include it if they can. It seems to have some rights issues. Escobarbarian posted:I've never heard of 3K before.

Kind of infuriating that a movie made in 2000 lost its negative. The rest all seem to be 2K or 4K. Seems to be 2K when only lesser elements survive, while anything from camera negatives is 4K.

Vesi posted:Jeanne Dielman sounds exactly like my stuff, can't believe I haven't run into it before I bought and watched it for the first time after it came out on DVD. Easily one of the most memorable films Criterion has introduced me to but I'm not exactly itching to go see it again. Isn't it something like 3 hours in length? Will likely pick up Ghost World too because I haven't seen it in ages and I love Zwigoff.

Ghost World and Jeanne Dielman have both been among my most-wanted films for years, so I'm pretty hype. And Othello is excellent. My only regret is that Taipei Story won't be stand-alone. Mysterious Object at Noon is a pretty cool film, though.

It's about $11 per film if you were to get either WCP set during a flash or B&N sale. Also, it's worth noting that A Brighter Summer Day and Black Girl were also part of WCP, so they're probably choosing based on what they can pull off for supplements. I'd expect The Color of Pomegranates to be another standalone release.

I don't know if I'd want to own Dersu Uzala, but drat, I look forward to seeing it in a copy that doesn't look like it has layer of Vaseline spread across the film transfer.

Yea Satyajit Ray's filmography is mostly untapped by Criterion to this point, he's a perfect director for them to dive into a little more fully. Aside from the Apu Trilogy(a must own as far as I'm concerned), what have they put out so far? Music Room is the only one I can think of.
