Also, I see through your bullshit, Barnes and Noble. 50% off Criterion and there's not one copy of Chungking Express, Kagemusha, Last Emperor, or any other movie I wanted.

The sale ended yesterday and those movies were pretty much spilling out all over the shelves.

Jerks. :mad:

it really must depend on where you live, I went there last week and the blu-ray section still had titles that had been out-of-print for months just sitting there

I'm going to crowd source this one and do whatever you guys tell me: do I buy this now, or wait for the inevitable Criterion release?

Buy it now, the extras are lovely, but it's worth it for how goddamn amazing it looks in HD


also, it's the best Wes Anderson film (from a moron who has yet to see Rushmore).

And for the specific case of Fantastic Mr. Fox... I see people everywhere jumping to the conclusion that it will eventually go Criterion, but I see no reason for it. It has a fantastically well-done Blu-ray already, with a full supplement package. It was also a mainstream success, so the odds of Fox parting with it are small

uh, wasn't it a pretty substantial loser at the box office?

I love that The Ladd Company logo that appears on Once Upon A Time In America, it's all 80s as poo poo

Well, regarding animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox would seem to be a sure bet within the next few years given their relationship with Wes Anderson.

They updated it with the cover! It looks like something my mom would buy, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate Malick. edit: nevermind looks like it's just a horrible poster/placeholder.

I'd personally like to see them get Fantastic Mr. Fox, since the BD of that is next to barebones.

yeah. You probably won't like all of them (Anderson is one of those directors where even people who love him usually dislike one of his films, though which one that is varies a ton), but they're all worth seeing.

So is it really normal for Blu-Ray software companies to stop providing compatibility updates just a few years after your version comes out

Because jesus christ, I do not want to have to pay $100 every two years if I want to keep being able to play Blu-Rays on my computer

That is such a dumb release plan, though I guess I only really need to hit up Best Buy, since those three are the best by a decent margin. (maybe The Living Daylights as well)
