CriterionForum.org is leaking into this thread Really, the one I'm most excited about is The Color of Pomegranates. I've only seen the Kino DVD from decades ago and it looked awful. I'd imagine the new World Cinema Project restoration looks great. Also, I hope Criterion matches or surpasses the UK edition from Second Sight, which looks packed: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Pom...of+pomegranates

Raxivace posted:Me too, but the evidence points to Part V. The way the "Friday" is doubled is a hint toward the killer of Part V being a Jason copycat, and Tommy Jarvis himself seeming to become Jason again at the end. The larger V is the roman numeral for the number 5 of course, and what's on the V? A cow, and as we all remember the finale of Friday the 13th: Part V takes place within a barn and barns are where cows live. I'm mad this isn't true now

The bullets set up like bowling pins are definitely Bowling for Columbine although there being ten of them made me think of 3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets.

Egbert Souse posted:Already see a few definite ones: My first thought was The Fountain, although The Tree of Life seems more likely. The woman on the moon puzzles me. She seems to be holding a Scandinavian flag, so maybe something related to Bergman. Unless the woman is meant to be a general representation of royalty. Princess from the Moon?

The dog is The Awful Truth and the vice is obviously The Scarlet Empress. I really, really doubt Criterion would touch anything from the Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street series. They're not going to outbid Shout! Factory, if the rights did come up for licensing.

I'd heard that on top of the MPAA, Paramount was a little embarrassed by the series and maybe was responsible for watering it down.

After watching the first volume of Shoah, I think I've come to terms that I'm never going to finish it. It manages to be so personal about the subject that I have a truly tough time getting through it.

Samuel Clemens posted:My first thought was The Fountain, although The Tree of Life seems more likely. When The Fountain came out Aronofsky practically begged Criterion to release it: http://www.slashfilm.com/darren-aronofsky-blames-warner-bros-for-fountain-dvd/ I REALLY wish that it WAS the Fountain, because the current release is lackluster (and the "Tree of Life" current release is perfectly fine as is), but I'm doubtful they'll ever release one of his films.

There's UK editions of Henry V and Hamlet, but I don't think they were recent transfers. Richard III obviously already has a 4K upgrade already out from Criterion. Seconding Othello and Barry Lyndon. I'm still going through Othello's extras, despite having seen both cuts, Filming Othello, and Hilton Edwards' short film, and the Simon Callow interview.

Also, I watched Jabberwocky last night and it was an absolutely wonderful film. It's not exactly the pinnacle of cinema, but I love how Terry Gilliam created a believable medieval world out of practically nothing. The cinematography was absolutely stunning. I'm convinced that a 70s Lord of the Rings should have been helmed by Gilliam since he could have pulled it off with a low budget. I mean, when you finally see the monster, it seems completely organic to the world the film has built up to rather than something silly.

If there are any goons in the DC area the National Gallery is showing a few titles in the upcoming months like Au Hasard Balthazar, Day for Night, a whole weekend of Stan Brakhage stuff plus The Sacrafice and Women in Love which will probably be released at some point. Anyways since its the Smithsonian its all free!

Sorry to be an obnoxious pedant, but even though NGA is on the National Mall, it's not affiliated with the Smithsonian. Still free though!

No wonder Kubrick thought it was the greatest film ever made.
