Criterion Blu-ray titles! (1 Viewer)

[albert_m2]

It's too bad that they don't separate announcements for new titles vs existing titles that will be released on 4K.

 

[Martin_Teller]

Why?

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

I WILL NOT buy The Seventh Seal on 4k. Uh uh. Won't do it.

I said early on I wouldn't upgrade my Blu titles to UHD. And yet I have on dozens of titles.

But I can't imagine TSS could be improved upon enough to warrant the upgrade.

But it IS one of my favorite films. And, I'll be sure to read the reviews of the 4k/UHD. And then there'll be the next flash sale or B&N sale.

Damn it!

Did you actually get the big Ingmar Bergman collection boxset from a few years ago? That actually already comes w/ a new 4K-sourced remaster that should be a decent upgrade over the old/original Criterion BD -- that certainly should be plenty enough for me anyway.

I just realized I’m still on my DVD copy - not even the remastered one but the original edition - I think it was one of the first DVDs I bought. If you buy the 4K and want to sell your BD let me know.

Criterion LD #10A [CLV]
Criterion DVD [first, 1999 release]
Criterion BD [first, 2009 release]
Criterion BD [in Ingmar Bergman's Cinema]

I couldn’t even wait. The BFI 4K was so highly regarded I bought that when it came out. I’m hoping Criterion won’t add any new extras.

We need twelve step meetings.

They're not adding anything new.

The Bluray from the CC box comes from a DNRd master. The CC UHD should be DNR-free, just like the BFI UHD.

Hi. My name is Mike.

 

[battlebeast]

Well, I guess I was wrong... now that Triangle of Sadness was nominated for BP, I'll be getting that one.

Criterion.com with a small Valentine's Sale -- 50 titles 30% off through Feb 16.
I guess that just about eliminated Feb 14 as the Flash Sale for this year

4th Tues (2/28 this year) is always the best guess since over half the sales happened then

3/7 with Mildred Pierce 4K seems the next best option

If they send of the $10 Promo Codes I think that may be the best clue given the last several sales

MAY:

Wings of Desire (UHD)
Branded to Kill (UHD)
Targets
Petite Maman
Thelma & Louise (UHD)

Spoiler

Thelma & Louise includes the original ending where they survive driving into the Grand Canyon.

Of course they're releasing Wings of Desire on UHD. I got a copy of the Curzon (UK) release a few weeks ago.

But Branded to Kill on UHD? Yessireee.....!

Criterion hit five for five this month. A really diverse and entertaining mix. I like that they are releasing more 4K UHDs too. Now Ridley Scott is neck and neck with Steven Spielberg for most films by a single director on 4K UHD!

 

[Patrick McCart]

Five for five here. Glad my waiting for Wings of Desire paid off!

 

[Doom]

Branded to Kill UHD was my favorite announcement that month.

I hope we get more Japanese UHD's like that. Maybe some Imamura or Kurosawa next?

They're releasing a bunch of Kurosawa in Japan on UHD, maybe Criterion can finally give us that Kurosawa collection so many of us dream of.

The special features for Petite maman have been updated and it will now include a bonus film, My Life as a Zucchini.

First reports filtering out about $10 Gift Codes being sent to the Streamer Channel Subs. In the last several sales, this has been an excellent sign that the Flash Sale is coming soon -- most likely next Tuesday March 21. It's the latest the Q1 sale has ever been, but it separates from the usual October Flash and Nov B&N instead on grouping the various sales so close together. All just expectations, but it has been a good sign and with Inland Empire release date next Tuesday that also lines up with past precedent

Once the date and sale are confirmed to be the usual 50% and 24 hr I can start a dedicated thread in the Deals section with the usual list of items released since last sale.

Possible conflicts if you're on a tight budget -- Powerhouse March Sale expected to start sometime soon and Warner Archives Sale has usually come around March 23 since that was the day the official WAC started in 2009 (?)
