Of important note, this is finally the extended cut of the movie, which Criterion had not included in the previous release.

Also, am I wrong, or is it still only going to be DVD and not BR? That's a bummer if so. That movie would be even better in BR - it's a knockout, visually.

Mulholland Dr - at long last! no-brainer purchase for me, one of my top 100 films. Kwaidan - I'll probably buy this, psyched to see the longer cut My Own Private Idaho - haven't seen this in a long time, but no desire to revisit it. pass. A Special Day - looks intriguing, and I adored the one Scola I've seen (We All Loved Each Other So Much). definite rental The Brood - never seen it, Cronenberg is hit or miss with me... possible rental

That'd be a really good month even without Mulholland Drive, which is a day-one, must-own, top-ten film for me. So loving excited.

I didn't see this anywhere, but the Criterion restoration of The Black Stallion was released yesterday. That's a gorgeous film for which I've been waiting forever. In fact , I'm positive I submitted it to Criterion in the past as a "most wanted" but I never dared hope it would get the Criterion treatment. Now if they can get their hand on Diva, which is also on my list....

I own the anchor bay release of Diva, but I would upgrade in a heartbeat. Also, Tampopo needs a Criterion release.

Also, the MoC version has a wider aspect ratio.

FitFortDanga posted:The Brood - never seen it, Cronenberg is hit or miss with me... possible rental The Brood is a Cronenberg film for Cronenberg fans. Shivers, Rabid, and The Brood were his horror films in the 70s and of that trilogy I'd argue that The Brood is actually the least essential. For fans: it's great, because it's early Cronenberg. If you already find him hit or miss: The Brood isn't the film that's going to sway you one way or the other.

Aw yess, just saw that The Brood is slated for an October release. It's my personal favorite from Cronenberg because of how raw, sincere, and angry it is. It's going to be hard to wait for a sale rather than just buying immediately on release.

Speaking of Cronenberg, blind bought Naked Lunch (and Tokyo Drifter) today. I feel like I heard a lot about Naked Lunch while I was in college, but not much since (even from fans), so not sure what to expect there.

Gate of Flesh is his best film imo. It has a combination of garish cartoony lighting and disturbing violence that's grounded in dark political commentary that's really interesting. Desperately needs a Blu-ray update.

This is always a dangerous month for me. I was at a store nearby to drop off a poster frame order and I walked into the nearby Barnes and nobles. Walked put with rashomon, investigation of a citizen about suspicion, for all mankind and when horror came to shochiku. Mostly blind buys but I do know most of rashomon, just never actually watched it.

Rashomon is pretty amazing so I'd say you chose wisely at least there. Haven't really seen any of the others, though I do have a copy of Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion sitting on my shelf...

I think the only Kurosawa bluray I'm missing is Kagemusha. But I have a copy of high and low I've never seen. Wait,yojimbo and sanjuro is Kurosawa right? Missing that too. Gonna sit down and try to watch a criterion this weekend for sure. I tend to save them for a nice, quiet day.

I'm glad some of you are ecstatic about Mulholland Drive but, eh, kind of a let down compared to thinking it was Apu. I could never get into Lynch. Anyway, it's probably a bad time with the sale on, but I'm looking to sell my bluray of The Third Man if anyone wants it. It's in an amaray, not a slipcase. Send me a PM if you want so I don't have to deal with eBay.

The B&N 50% off sale is being extended until Aug 3rd. So far I've just impulse bought Kuroneko, knowing nothing about it other than it was from the director of Onibaba. Probably going to pick up Sword of Doom too, another mostly blind buy.
