    Criterion Press Release: Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) (Blu-ray)

    I watched the Criterion last night and thought it looked better than I’d seen the film look in a long time (probably since the theater). The different crop didn’t bother me at all, and although I hadn’t seen the film in a while, I’m certain I saw detail that I hadn’t before. This is really a...

    While I agree about the many other titles that Criterion could produce, I still find Fast Times to be very deserving of the Criterion treatment.

    Criterion Press Release: Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) (Blu-ray)

    Hot damn! I have been waiting to upgrade my DVD. This will be the perfect companion to Criterion's excellent Dazed and Confused blu-ray.
