RE: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Janus has the US rights, so it isn't like Criterion licensed it from New Line. I suspect that they also have Lost Highway, but have no real proof.

Actually "Fire Walk With Me" is with CBS--they released it as part of their big TWIN PEAKS blu ray set..but original distributor New Line is the copyright holder.

Maybe the Rebecca upgrade, but that's probably it for me.

Festival for me.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Damn they DID get Rebecca back. Hopefully Spellbound and Notorious were in the same deal.

A couple weeks ago Fire Walk With Me showed up on Filmstruck with Criterion branding.

Will buy Othello for sure and I hope Criterion will release The Magnificent Ambersons if Warner Bros won't do it.

I'll pick up Rebecca and the Lynch documentary.

I already have Rebecca on Blu; I'll hold off until I see or hear some reviews as to if it's better quality or not.

The Piano Teacher gives new meaning to the word "pedagogy" (if you've seen it, you know what I mean)!

Same, but i have a feeling the new 4k restoration will put the MGM BD to shame

 

[Derrick King]

Criterion is going to be re-releasing Monterey Pop (using a new 4K master) later this year

Could the "Fire Wok With Meat" clue have been an indication they are getting Twin Peaks:The Return for release to Blu Ray? Because that would just be amazing.

It's Criterion; so how could it NOT be better than the BD we both now own?

 

[battlebeast]

True...

 

[battlebeast]

Has Criterion stopped releasing CHAPLIN? It's annoying that they haven't released one is months, stopping just before releasing THE CIRCUS, the one I'm Waiting for!

Yes, indeed, battlebeast; you can bank on it now with atfree's Post that Criterion's "Rebecca" will be from a "New 4K Restoration". Zoweee !!!
This is just one of those announcements that simply do not require the safety of a review.

...and waiting, and waiting; just like me.
Yes, it does seem odd that Criterion had broken from their yearly releases of the Chaplin features. I, myself, had become dependent on it. But since the pattern has been broken, then I hope that Criterion rewards us with this long-awaited title that won "The Circus" and Chaplin an Honorary Oscar for Actor, Director, Writer and the wearing of all hats; and not just the derby, alone.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

Like to see more Chaplin....and Harold Lloyd too.

Very unlikely that Showtime wouldn't want that sales profit for themselves after financing the show.
