(And among the reasons why I'm assuming this will be a Zatoichi-esque box set, because I cannot imagine an individual Criterion release of Son of Godzilla.)

Extended???!!??

Can we get a 90 minute cut please
There's supposedly a 5-hour ToL cut. My opinion is that this would violate the Geneva Convention, but then what do I know?
― Polly of the Pre-Codes (j.lu), Friday, 11 May 2018 22:38 (eight years ago)
AUGUST: The Tree of Life; Memories of Underdevelopment; Smithereens; The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez; Heaven Can Wait (original) on Blu.

HCW (Lubitsch) hasn't been remade, I don't think. The Warren Beatty film was a remake of Here Comes Mr Jordan.

Yes indeed
― Bring Me The Binaural Heads Of Butch Firbanks (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 00:39 (eight years ago)

Looks like Andrei Rublev and Scenes from a Marriage are getting upgraded in September.

Welles finished it in between takes of The Other Side of the Wind. :)

also My Man Godfrey: https://www.criterion.com/shop/browse?popular=coming-soon
a lot of people seem pretty sure that After Hours is coming in September too.
― flappy bird, Friday, 15 June 2018 17:20 (seven years ago)
And now they're all gone. I suspect they're not all intended for September.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Friday, 15 June 2018 19:10 (seven years ago)
SEPTEMBER: A Raisin In The Sun; Cold Water; and upgrades of My Man Godfrey, Andrei Rublev; and Scenes From A Marriage.

Just in time for next week’s Dietrich-Von Sternberg set!
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Friday, 29 June 2018 15:20 (seven years ago)
Thanks for the reminder. Picked up Marketa Lazarova and Chimes at Midnight, the later evidently sourced from a pristine print discovered by Steven Morowitz recently.

An awful lot of mainstream '80s starting to creep into the CC this year.

another month, another After Hours no show

Patience, young Flappy. At least you're not my buddy who's waiting years on The Tenant, or anyone else holding out for the Eisenstien Silent box (which the ducks are allegedly finally getting in a row for the CC to do).
― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 22:00 (seven years ago)
I know I know actually what I wanted to ask was why SLIH and not The Apartment
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 22:30 (seven years ago)
The Welles alone, but then also the Mizoguchi on top of that? A no complaint month.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 22:30 (seven years ago)
XP Arrow did a loaded Blu of The Apartment a couple years ago. Not sure if it's still in print (there was limited 1st edition w/a coffee table book with a book less version to follow).
― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 16 August 2018 03:40 (seven years ago)
Landing SLIH is pretty big. Never thought MGM would let that go.
― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 16 August 2018 03:42 (seven years ago)
now that you mention it I've seen that edition, pretty sure it's still in print. and yeah it is amazing they got SLIH, afaik that was never rumored / intuited from the doodle.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 16 August 2018 05:17 (seven years ago)
Perhaps I should start a different thread for other boutique home video distribution companies, but I thought y'all might be interested to know that there's a big Kino sale going on atm, with tons of stuff marked under $10: https://www.kinolorber.com/list/view/code/aug18sale
― Bruise Harmsby and the Rage (Old Lunch), Monday, 20 August 2018 13:22 (seven years ago)
(Couldn't pull it together to take advantage of the last several Criterion sales, but you better believe I just shelled out some bucks for a haul of b-grade '50s sci-fi and '80s Cannon 'classics'.)

I love that Zatoichi set! I don't mind the repetitive narratives at all, though.
― Evan, Monday, 17 September 2018 20:54 (seven years ago)
