The Criterion Collection Thread

Three cuts:
50th Anniversary cut restored in 4K on UHD (117 minutes)
Theatrical cut restored in 4K on UHD (106 minutes)
2nd Preview cut scanned in 2K on Blu-ray (122 minutes)

It's great to see 'Pat Garrett..' finally getting (what I assume will be) the comprehensive release it deserves.

I may have to wipe away bitter tears and pay the fortune it will no doubt cost to import a copy.

Also makes me hope that a suitably awe-inspiring restoration / re-issue of 'The wild Bunch' might be on the way... fingers crossed.

Rumor is that Criterion does have The Wild Bunch, but, if true, who knows how long till that happens.

In other news, here is the UK releases for July
Le Samourai UHD
Blow Out UHD
Risky Business UHD and Blu-ray editions

Amazon.ca pre-order prices for PAT GARRETT are insane: $111.61 for the 4K and $82.73 for the Blu.

*EDIT* These are more reasonably priced now.

Yeah that made me wince as I love the film and really want it but...

How much is shipping from Amazon.com? Amazon price matching the Barnes and Noble sale in July might be the best deal for those outside the US.

Unobstructed View, the Canadian distributor, has more reasonable pricing, but shipping is no deal, and they can be a little leisurely. $49.49 and $69.74.

All we need now is MODERN ROMANCE and we'll have all of the essential Brooks on Criterion disc. I couldn't care less if they do THE MUSE or not.

Sounds like it's at least in good hands.

Also, I preordered Blue Velvet on 4K. I will pay full stupid price for that because I am not waiting for a sale on that one. I must own it immediately.
