They look as good as ever, though my Polyester copy didn't come with an Odorama card. I can't wait to watch Malcom X after hearing how good the release is. SilentChaz posted:Roger Corman visits the Criterion Closet: Of course he'd pick Targets immediately  I hope this is a prelude to getting some Corman releases from them. The Poe cycle, Little Shop of Horrors, maybe Death Race 2000.

Do you think criterion will ever release a blu ray or 4k of the rock? Just remembered my friend had the dvd and it had a nice cover.

Really doubt it unless something changes with Disney's licensing. Maybe they'll eventually pull a Paramount and expand licensing to all the main boutique players.

I'd like to thank this thread for pointing me in the right direction and leading me to what is honestly one of the coolest things I now own.   I can't believe I'm holding a real copy. It's so homemade and earnest. Can't wait to actually watch it.

Had to drive halfway across town to find one, but I picked up that Best Buy Wicker Man 4K steelbook and man is it pretty. It’s a bummer BB is tossing their media sections next year, their exclusive stuff almost always looks great.

It's included as an extra on the American Movie DVD release, but not the Blu-Ray. I highly, highly recommend watching American Movie first if you haven't. It's incredible.

I always wished they had followed Mark’s family around for a while too because there’s interesting interpersonal stuff in the doc like how Mark resents his brother. I know it’s not really about that, but I’ve seen American Movie so many times I want more context.

Watched four films this weekend, starting Friday night with Dreams Don't Die, a made for tv movie that aired on ABC on May 21 1982, about a juvenile in queens or brooklyn (i forget) who is a popular "writer", a kid who tags subway cars with graffiti, and the saviour black cop in the film sets him on the right path. Very safe and "crime doesn't pay" but I appreciate the view into that world, however sanitized, and am glad the movie's preserved. That led me next pull Moments Like This Never Last off the shelf, a documentary about a NY street artist named Dash Snow, whose work was in the late 90s and 2000s. He died in 2009; the film was created by Cheryl Dunn, who shot much of the footage back in the day. Touching and largely bereft of the usual tropes seen in the documentary mill, her years of labour in shooting and editing are evident. Saturday I moved on to Radio On, from 1979, a British film that i have to watch again because i don't even know. Great vibes. Such succulent vibes. Sit in that world for 104 minutes if ever you get the chance. Currently chewing through the generous supplementary material. Finally ended on a rousing note. Times Square, from 1980, starring the girl from Dreams Don't Die, Trini Alvarado, who, with Robin Johnson, play a pair of young girls in new york who run away and generally own hard as burgeoning punk stars. Also Tim Curry turns in a stellar part as a late night FM DJ who delights in the girls' rebellion. Despite being cut down from director Allen Moyle's original vision, it is such a great female-centered story. No goddamned boys!! Easily passes the Bechdel test. My favourite of the bunch, it's an actual hidden gem (a lot of stuff released by these labels is forgotten for a reason... this being neglected is a tragedy).  I love owning movies. Having a bunch of new stuff to watch when the mood strikes owns. It loving owns. gently caress your streaming, and buffering, and compression and logins and subscriptions and gatekeepers, i watch on disc like g*d intended Edit: typos pwn fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Oct 23, 2023 |

Just out of curiosity, looked up at what films have notable anniversaries and new restorations to get an idea of what could be coming in 2024: CRITERION: Good chance we're getting UHD upgrades of Godzilla and Seven Samurai for their 70th anniversary, as UHD are already out in Japan. Very likely getting Blu upgrades of these DVD-only titles thanks to new restorations: I Know Where I'm Going!, Peeping Tom (likely UHD as UK is getting it), The Devil and Daniel Webster, Also likely to get UHDs of Brazil, The Last Emperor, Naked Lunch, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as most have UK releases already. We're probably getting more Scorsese - most likely would be Who's That Knocking at My Door and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (which turns 50), but I can see them also doing 4K upgrades to The Age of Innocence and The Last Temptation of Christ. There's also a 4K master of The Color of Money, but that's Disney. WARNER: First, it's worth mentioning that Warner Bros. not only owns their own films, but the pre- May 1986 catalog of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer catalog (actual MGM films like The Wizard of Oz and Ben-Hur). It's been speculated they're partnering with the current MGM on a 100th anniversary celebration for 2024. It's also the 100th anniversary of Erich von Stroheim's Greed (which could be either a Criterion or Warner Archive release). They just released a bunch of remaining Best Picture winners they own like The Broadway Melody, Cimarron (1931), and The Life of Emile Zola. They only have The Great Ziegfeld and Around the World in 80 Days remaining, both of which have been hinted as in the works. The 1954 A Star is Born has a 60th anniversary and it's been stated by their catalog division head wanting to do a new release with both the theatrical cut and the partial reconstruction. 50th anniversary for Blazing Saddles, seems like an obvious UHD upgrade. 40th anniversary for A Nightmare on Elm Street, so I'd say it's a toss up between them releasing their own set or licensing out to Scream Factory. 40th anniversary for Amadeus, already confirmed as in the works for 2024 by the Saul Zaentz estate. 25th anniversary of Eyes Wide Shut, which is one of only three Warner-owned films yet to get a UHD upgrade (others are Lolita and Barry Lyndon). I'd expect if Warner's doing this, then Criterion will do Lolita and an upgrade of Barry Lyndon. SONY: Columbia Pictures will also be celebrating 100 years in 2024, so I'd expect some special stuff. No Columbia Classics UHD Vol. 4 announcement so far, so perhaps they're doing something next year. One of the biggest omissions from Blu-ray have been the Three Stooges shorts... and it'll be the 90th anniversary of their first films for Columbia. Wouldn't be surprised if they do a box set or something as the HD masters look quite beautiful from the few that have made it to other releases as extras. On the Waterfront will be 70 years old, so very likely to get a UHD either from Columbia or Sony directly, as well as It Happened One Night turning 90. LIONSGATE: They're distributors for Zoetrope, Francis Ford Coppola's company. It's already confirmed that The Conversation and One from the Heart have been in the works, with the former being 50 years old next year. DISNEY: Very likely we'll get UHDs of The Black Cauldron and The Sword in the Stone, as they were given proper restorations like the recent UHDs of Snow White and Cinderella, but have been exclusive to Disney+ It's also the 70th anniversary of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 60th for Mary Poppins. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything, though. There's also plenty of Fox titles worth putting out and have anniversaries, but I'm not going to hold my breath. PARAMOUNT: Chinatown will be 50 and given they just put out Rosemary's Baby, it being a Polanski film won't harm it coming out to UHD finally. With Paramount now licensing to Criterion, Kino, Arrow, Shout, and now Vinegar Syndrome - lots of possible titles. SHOUT FACTORY: 50th anniversary of John Carpenter's first film Dark Star, which has already been rumored as being underway. There's also a new restoration by Deaf Crocodile for Assault at Precinct 34 that they've already hinted at Shout releasing. UNIVERSAL: Likely 50th anniversary release of Spielberg's The Sugarland Express Good chance of more Universal Monsters UHD sets KINO: Hard to speculate, but they have confirmed the following are likely coming in 2024... Blu-ray: Fletch/Fletch Lives (remastered), Scarlet Street (remastered), He Walked by Night (remastered) UHD: Cry-Baby, Kindergarten Cop, Twisted, Paint Your Wagon, Play Misty for Me, Charley Varrick, Ilsa series, The Eiger Sanction, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Uncle Buck, Sea of Love, Brokeback Mountain, Prime Cut, Invasion of the Body Snatchers '56, High Noon '52, Cowboys and Aliens, A Fistful of Dynamite, Bad Lieutenant (Ferrara), Sneakers, Brick, Fear and Desire (including all three early Kubrick shorts in 4K Dolby Vision, as well as two cuts of the film) MILESTONE: Both I Am Cuba and Killer of Sheep are supposed to finally be upgraded to Blu-ray.

I am drowning in boxsets Working my way through the Umbrella release of the Winding Refn Pusher trilogy, they're enjoyable enough. I finally picked up more Godard with the StudioCanal Essential boxset and will go through them next - after that I've got the Curzon Von Trier set and I honestly don't know why. Gives me an excuse to offload my Criterion Breaking the Waves and standalone Nymphomaniacs and House That Jack Built, I guess. Also kinda upset that I forgot/didn't see the set didn't have Dancer in the Dark.

Second Sight have announced their UK release of Mean Streets on 4K including booklet and art cards, for 50 whole British pounds, which seems excessive. The set looks nice and the booklet has some essays by writers I like but does anybody actually do anything with those art cards? Of all the releases I've bought with them included (MUBI likes to include them a lot) they just stay in the case.

I just saw Eight Eyes, the first movie Vinegar Syndrome co-produced, at a horror movie festival. The photo doesn’t really look like it but there’s enough similar imagery in the movie that I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what it is. Eight Eyes itself wasn’t really good but I’m sure it’ll have its fans
