Detective No. 27 posted:The Lone Wolf and Cub set is great so far. I've read a decent amount of the manga, but I didn't expect it to be so close to it. The first movie was probably the most brutal samurai movie I've ever seen. (Mostly seen Kurosawa's stuff and Zatoichi films) I'm less than two minutes into the second movie and he's already killed two dudes. This movie doesn't gently caress around. Yeah, this is definitely my favorite Criterion in a long time. I love that surprise moment near the end of the first movie where he pulls all the staff-sword pieces off of the baby cart, and then immediately lops a guy's legs off. Speaking of samurai sets, I've now emailed two separate Criterion folks about the issues with my Zatoichi set and gotten zero replies. Emailed mulvaney back in august, and orders@criterion three weeks ago. Who am I supposed to contact now? I just want a functional set.

Egbert Souse posted:Just for kicks, here's a comprehensive list of films Criterion has not upgraded to Blu-Ray yet. Obviously, I'm omitting video-based stuff like Beastie Boys and Tanner '88. I'll note stuff as needed. What about The Last Wave (2001 dvd release)? Did I miss it?

Round 2: Ikiru 8.5 Boyhood A Brighter Summer Day The Kid I've saw Boyhood when it was first released and I'm looking forward to watching it again. Although the technical story of it is definitely worth noting, I'm more impressed by the way Linklater conveys the way life changes and how people are formed in unexpected ways. Haven't seen any of the others but I'm familiar with the directors except for A Brighter Summer Day which is apparently four hours long? Wow.

The miracle of Boyhood is that it transcends its gimmick to be an all around great movie. The gimmick is icing on the cake.

They wouldn't take an in store coupon last spring, so I figured the gravy train was over. There's even an exception listed in the fine print. But I'm gonna try it at a different location today. We'll see how it goes.

The Apu Trilogy got delivered today, but some corners and edges were ruined during transport. I've looked at B&Ns Return policy, but it isn't very clear about replacement. Anybody got experience with this? It looks like you can only contact them by phone, but I don't really want to call from Europe. http://i.imgur.com/uS6ycfo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bZKfsPS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/PWkyhHy.jpg http://i.imgur.com/j3Ids0U.jpg GoldenGun fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Nov 10, 2016 |

I bought Brazil from them a few years ago and it looked like a dog chewed the case up and a disc was missing. They just refund you the money or you can roll the dice for another set since they will not accept international returns.

I usually strike up a conversation about the movies I'm getting, so the cashiers might just be nice to me. By the way, Alton Brown has equally great taste in movies: https://www.criterion.com/explore/302-alton-brown-s-top-10

It looks and sounds great on Hulu, I'd imagine the Blu-Ray looks even better. bobkatt013 posted:It was a dual format, now releasing it as either blu ray or DVD It was released as a DVD in 2007, Blu-Ray in 2010, re-issued as dual format in 2014, then back to separate editions this month. Must be one of their biggest sellers since this means it's the fourth printing.

Wow, McCabe & Mrs. Miller is one of the most unique looking films I've ever seen. Altman really did achieve that "old timey photograph, but in color" look that he was going for.
