  • But didn't Criterion's last streaming service (the name escapes me) also feature a lot of films they have rights to but haven't released on disc? Janus/Criterion hold lots of great film rights hostage with, as it appears, no intent to do anything with them. Nakagawa's best films come to mind. I guess with Stalker, the fact that Kino owned it for US distro earlier bodes well for a future disc release, as it's obviously a new aquisition for Criterion. Fingers crossed.

    • Hulu. And yes, it had a lot of titles that they haven't released on Blu-ray or DVD, but I can't see them keeping a Tarkovsky film as a streaming exclusive.

          This should be glorious on blu. The sound design is incredible, and it should have won an Oscar.
          Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

            • I think I'll settle for the Eureka DVD box of LW&C that I already own. Punch-Drunk Love is a great film, and I don't own it on DVD, so I'll buy that. I really like The Squid and the Whale too.

                • Finally, One Eyed Jacks will get the release it deserves.

                    Yeah, I better get rid of the crappy BD I already bought.

                      Okay, pre-ordered. They won't honour this apparent mistake, right?

                        Hopefully there are some more extras to be announced; it seems a little skimpy. It's finally great to have it in great resolution, though.

                          I hope they do. Going to be a lot of disappointed people if they don't honor it.

                          It's the "#1 Best Seller in Movies & TV" right now!

                          • That was the price up there until recently, but it's back up to 99.99. Amazon is hit and miss with honouring pricing mistakes.

                            • Yeah, it's one thing when it's just a few bucks, but $60? And they probably got hundreds of orders considering it's a Criterion release and everything. It adds up to BIG money for them. I'll be very surprised if they do honour this fuck up.

                              • If they don't I'd wait for the next B&N sale.

                                I might pick up DREAMS for Christmas.
                                It was gorgeous in the theater.
