Has anyone seen the Criterion Fantastic Planet and compared it to the Masters of Cinema? I have the Region B release and think it looks great. Word is that the Criterion may be a botched job, but it could just be the nerds whining again. I'd upgrade if Criterion is better.Comment

None that I can find.Originally posted by Dark Horse 77 View Post
According to the review at the Criterionforum.org it has better detail than the MoC but it is cooler and gets bluer as it goes along. So the question is is that how it is supposed to be or not. Apparently the archivel docs offer conflicting evidence, where in one the art looks like it is closer to how the criterion looks and in another the art looks warmer than the criterion.Originally posted by IanIcon View PostComment

Criterion UK's September releases will be:
THE SAMURAI TRILOGY - September 5th
CAT PEOPLE - September 26th
Didn't expect CAT PEOPLE as I thought someone other than Warner had the UK rights to the RKO catalog. And with the SAMURAI TRILOGY, Toho titles are now on the table. (Toho being Toho, that's bigger news than the WB titles getting UK releases)Comment

Why is Cat People £27.99 on Amazon when most other Criterion UK releases are £17.99?Originally posted by Derrick King View PostLast edited by fatboyslim142; 06-28-2016, 07:32 PM.Comment

£27.99 is the MSRP/RRP, I don't know why Amazon UK hasn't discounted it*, but I'd guess that it'll eventually be marked down to £17.99.
*Amazon.com, of late, has been listing pre-orders of indie labels titles at full MSRP and any discounts seem to occur after they've been up for awhile, maybe the UK version is going to start doing this as well.Comment

I wish Criterion would do TOKYO FIST.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?Comment

latest newsletter clue
The Criterion Forum has come to the conclusion that it is for HIS GIRL FRIDAY.
If you are region free, there is a UK Blu-ray of TOKYO FIST from Third Window Films. But, yeah it'd be nice if someone in the US released some special editions of Shinya Tsukamoto's films.Originally posted by Matt H. View PostComment

Derrick, do you know if Criterion takes requests? I'm wondering if I were to ask about TOKYO FIST if they would be able to give me a definitive answer.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?Comment

They have a suggestion email: suggestions@criterion.com or you could try Mulvaney: mulvaney@criterion.com but they tend to not email back about suggestions/questions about possible releases (and when they do email back it tends to be a bit of a form letter). Apparently they do listen, as they claim that they licensed SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS from MGM because of the number of requests.
A few years ago, they used to have someone answering emails that was really talkative about suggestions/future releases but now, I think, she works in their restoration department.Comment

It's understandable. I'm sure they would get hundreds of requests a week. Thanks for the links, it wouldn't hurt to suggest some titles, even if they don't respond (at the very least, somebody there might look into it).Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome?

Yeah . When they joined Facebook, they interacted with people a lot. Answered a lot of questions about what they did or did not have in the works, but eventually, Facebook being Facebook, I think it got to be too much and they stopped (hats off to the Scream Factory guys for putting up with people on Facebook, I don't know how they do it.)Comment

A new 4K restoration Tampopo (credited to Janus Films) is playing at the NY Film Forum October 21 to November 3. I'd expect a Criterion Blu-ray sometime between December and the second quarter of 2017Comment
