This post makes me very happy in my bathing suit area. Darjeeling Ltd wasn't my favorite Wes Anderson but I haven't seen it since the theater so I need to give it another shot.
I'll take any Wes Anderson on blu there is, so I'm happy. Only I'm curious that Criterion is releasing the Blu-Ray when the DVD wasn't released by them.

It hasn't been ruled out, but I doubt it's on the docket either. The Wire was shot on 35mm so it's entirely doable, but it'd be a lot of work, and HBO's catalogue releases are sparse enough as it is (so far we've only gotten Rome, Band of Brothers, and The Sopranos season 1).
The prospect of Deadwood potentially coming keeps me from buying the DVDs.

Would be nice if the Wire came too.

Wait, you mean the various discs are being split up? Link?

Actually I think that'd be pretty cool if they only released Sledge's arc, seeing that that's the good part.
Part One is being sold with Band of Brothers, that's all I've seen about it. So, again, I think it's just a promotional tie-in unless they blatantly came out and said they're doing it.

As everyone feared, Storaro got his greasy mitts on Apocalypse Now for the new HD remaster, loving with the aspect ratio because clearly "The Last Supper" should be the guideline for all movies or something.
I know it's going to be a loving disaster, but I'm still irrationally holding out hope since it's one of my favorite movies.

How's Wong Kar-wai's Fallen Angels? It's on sale on the Best Buy website for $9.99, which is perfect impulse buy territory for me, and everything I've read about it sounds interesting, but I was never very thrilled with Chungking Express. Granted, it's been years since I've seen it, but I thought I'd ask people's opinion anyway.

Today I purchased Taken for $10 (hello sale). Unfortunately I can't watch it anytime soon because my 80 gig PS3 isn't reading blu-ray discs or PS3 games properly anymore (games and movies sieze up after a while; is it the bd drive or the lens, perhaps?). So until I get it cleaned/fixed/replaced I'll have to wait but I didn't want to turn down what is supposed to be a decent movie at that price.

It's a blind purchase so I have to ask, is it any good? :ohdear:
The movie was a surprise at how decent of an action/thriller it was. It isn't going to knock your socks off, but it's an enjoyable watch and looks fairly good on blu ray too.

Looks like the old one had more detail (and film grain/noise)
It's also cropped, too? Looking at the size/positioning of the images back and forth.

I haven't seen this posted in the last couple of days, but yay for Paths of Glory:

Criterion has announced Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 psychedelic ghost tale 'House' for a Blu-ray on October 26.

Criterion will also be bringing Stanley Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory' starring Kirk Douglas on the same date.

There is a version without the quotes floating around, from some press release I believe. And you know whatever Criterion decides for the actual cover, there won't be a quote anywhere on it.
Oh yeah, I know their track record and everything, it's just an odd concept art for them (unless someone else gawked it up). I saw the other version too.

I'm excited.

So help me out here, since I don't really follow the importing scene. Do we pretty much have to wait for this to be released before we know if it's region-free? And, if it IS region free, are the non-HD extras likely to be in PAL anyway? Because I NEEEEEED this.

This is what they tell you after you give them the serial number since apparently they're all the same. I just decided posting the info would be easier, rather than having people call individually and get told the same thing.

I finally made the switch. I'm mostly looking for horror but nearly everything on my wish list that I don't already own on DVD isn't out on Blu-Ray yet. I'll probably replace my Cabin Fever, Planet Terror, Hellraiser and The Thing DVDs with the Blu-Ray. Any other horror suggestions?
Dawn of the Dead (both versions), and the original Day of the Dead are all upgrades over their DVDs. I've heard good things about the original Nightmare on Elm Street and the Fly too.
