Maybe 10 years from now everyone will look back at this time and wonder "Why did we decide that movies had to be green?" Maybe we'll just do it because at that point all movies will be coloured red.

I think A Safe Place is my new pick for worst film in the Criterion Collection. Not something I expected to say about film whose supporting cast includes Jack Nicholson and Orson Welles but christ.

I love A Safe Place and I've never heard anyone articulate why it's supposedly so terrible. I think if it was a French New Wave movie people would like it more, it's a quirky woman's exploration of her sexuality phantasmagoria. Tuesday Weld stares straight into the camera and Orson Welles does magic, what's not to like?

Has Criterion hinted at doing anything with the Godzilla collection other than putting them on Filmstruck? It would to have non bootleg, uncut blu-rays of the Showa era films.

He was pushing for Criterion to do The Fountain, which is within the realm of possibility since it's a Warner film. I'm actually surprised Pi isn't out yet since there's an excellent HD master on Netflix. Too bad that and Requiem for a Dream are with Lionsgate.

On the topic of Blue Is The Warmest Color, I'm guessing the plans for a special edition have been scrapped at this point? I heard the director might've washed his hands of the film.

Cloks posted:They did Armageddon as an agreement with Disney to get access to catalogue titles. Actually, the DVDs for Armageddon, The Rock, Rushmore, Chasing Amy, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic were basically produced by Criterion, but distributed by Disney. That's why none of the DVD editions are available from Criterion's website. For Blu-ray, they licensed the Wes Anderson titles like anything else. They did a few similar deals with other studios. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is distributed by Paramount, which is why it's in a regular blue case. The America Lost and Found set was almost in the can from Sony, but they decided to have Criterion release it - though, likely because Sony is Criterion's distributor.
