    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    There are two places that the audio does not match what should be there for the uncut/unrated video version presented. I am saying this based on the version comparison. You'll notice it if you watch that special feature right after the movie when your (my!) memory is fresh, especially since one...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    Thanks guys. I admit I would have been a bit surprised that I wouldn't have got the slip with a Criterion if there should be one, the vendor (OK, it's amazon) must know how "picky" Criterion buyers are. [I like slips on catalog titles because I stuff the old discs in the new package (usually)...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    Do Criterions usually come with slipcovers? I've never got one, even with pre-ordered titles. Don't recall seeing one in the (very few) stores that stock them here either. I ask because my "online provider" is notorious (to me) for not providing slips even when you never see the title in a B&M...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    What was the double dip, Arrow/MGM BD or did you mean an older DVD? (I have the Arrow BD and am pondering another dip myself.)

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    ^ FWIW, I agree with your perception. I don't feel I need to "defend" round objects looking round. But I understand RAH's position too, in that if it's what the director intended, then who are we to question it. I think something got misinterpreted along the way, now it's cleared up, and...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    I bet more people are aware of this release now than they would have been if it had been "perfect" from the get-go. Nothing like a bit of controversy to spur recognition and sales. Criterion looks the good guy for responding to customers, BDP and associates get a little current web push. It'll...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    Not in some of its subforums. A perceived unilateral praising of Criterion will get you the most ire. But I get your point. There's a lot of juvenile style of criticism that goes on there, you have to be selective. They also have the great (IMO) Michael Reuben, and "the Doctor" ain't too...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    I bet you just love aliasing then. "Line anomalies" is a good description of what bends by head. [I didn't mention all the things that do bug me, was just setting the stage that I'm fairly tolerant of common complaints from the discerning. Video issues have to get bad by their standards to...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    I can tolerate a lot of grain. DNL and EE have to be what many here would call outrageously egregious (recall!) before it starts to bother me *a bit*. (Don't ask me about sound anomalies that most others would never even notice though...) But when something that's supposed to be round doesn't...

    Criterion Press Release: Dressed To Kill (Blu-ray)

    He always says that. It is extremely rare he doesn't prefer a Criterion, regardless of or in spite of the lack of any facts. Even when two or more versions have significant differences, and which set of "flaws" you might prefer is up to you, he always prefers the Criterion. Going back to the DVD...
