Criterion Blu-ray titles! (2 Viewers)

[battlebeast]

I'm disappointed by the lack of bonus features on the Shampoo Blu Ray... :/

 

[skylark68]

Wow, I’m all in for the Naked Prey. I have the DVD and it’s an excellent film.

 

[TravisR]

Sisters for me.

 

[JoshuaB.]

Unless Scream Factory’s upcoming October announcements underwhelm me, October is going to be expensive for me! However, I’m totally in for a 4K scan of Sisters and Shampoo (I love Hal Ashby films)!

I think there's a better chance of a Godzilla & Friends box set in 2019 when Warner releases Godzilla: King of the Monsters and the character is in the public eye again.

I mentioned this on another forum, but I think that license was too recent to expect any of them this year. Especially with having to deal with Toho and their approval process.

I'd rather they try to get King Kong vs. Godzilla out of rights hell before putting this out but that's probably too unsalvagable at this point.

 

[Derrick King]

You are probably right about KKvsG, but if anyone could do it, it would be Criterion with their ages old relationship with both Toho and Universal.

2019 isn't this year. :p

 

[Derrick King]

No, but I was agreeing with you assessment that 2019 is more likely than 2018 (Which is, of course, obvious now that they only have November and December to announce and we already know what box set is coming in November and December is usually on 3 or 4 titles.)

The Confession is OOP on Criterion's site and Criterion confirmed that they have lost the rights. State of Siege, the other title licensed from the same company as The Confession, is still in-print, but who knows for how long. If interested in them, I'd suggest picking them both up asap.

Criterion's UK releases for October:
A Raisin In The Sun on the 1st
Andrei Rublev on the 8th
The Uninvited on the 15th

 

[battlebeast]

A knight in the sun? Sunny nights?

 

[Matt Hough]

I might have guessed Day for Night if we didn't already have it on Blu-ray.

 

[Mark VH]

It's In the Heat of the Night. Criterion continuing to release from the MGM catalog. Hopefully this one isn't plagued by teal-ing.

Ugh!... Seems lately every time I purchase a film, then Criterion "announces" their own edition

 

[battlebeast]

More titles we already have... It's a great film, and totally worthy of Criterion, and i'm anxious to see what bonus materials they incude (hopefully more than Shampoo)...

but i'd still like to see some upgrades from DVD.

We expected AMBERSONS and SOME LIKE IT HOT. But no SUPERMAN...at least not yet. Next month (Sept. 15) we will know whether or not SUPERMAN will be a Criterion release or in-house from Warner. At this point all signs are towards WB as Criterion has yet to do a 4K Ultra HD release.

The Magnificent Ambersons - I am surprised the extras don't seem to spend time talking about what was cut from the film as well as its original ending. I assume there were notes or something that outlined Welles' vision of what the film was supposed to be. Unless I am mistaken about this, I think that would be of most interest as an extra.
