Man The Princess Bride has hella grain and it looks fantastic. Also the first time I've owned it on disc (only had a worn VHS copy before) and god, they did the Clergyman's subtitles properly. I, Butthole fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Nov 18, 2018 |

If they added a good full length audio commentary and priced it as a normal release, I'd buy Empire.

What's amusing about films like Empire, Sleep, and Chelsea Girls is that they're perfect to play on a screen while you're doing something else. It's sort of like when you see video/film installations at museums. You're not meant to just sit there for hours. For that matter, I hope we get more avant-garde stuff from them. Sets devoted to Norman McLaren, Len Lye, Maya Deren, Stan Vanderbeek, and Bruce Conner would be neat.

I put on records and dip in and out as I’m grabbed. It’s probably my most played Blu-ray because of that. Also the music that’s on vastly changes how each film feels, so even when I’m 100% focused in its a different experience every time.

Long shot guess, but perhaps Wim Wender's Until The End Of The World. As far as I can tell, in North America the 5 hour director's cut still hasn't been seen outside of theatres. And Wim is lowkey one of the most Criterion-iest filmmakers out there, and being able to put the stamp on 'We made the definitive version of his most ambitious project widely available' would be a major point of pride. If they do ever get around to releasing it, I really hope they include a CD version of the soundtrack purely as a 90's relic/feelie.

Amazon Australia cancelled my Bergman order so now I guess I'll try my luck with B+N shipping internationally. e: oh, it turns out Amazon Australia's price is now another $140AU more so I guess that explains why it's been cancelled because it's a piece of poo poo company! Also B+N aren't expecting stock until February for online purchases so gently caress it I guess. Decided to go B+N for Andrei Rublev, Rebecca, Mishima, and Vol 2 of the Looney Tunes Platinum collection. That'll tide me over until the next time the Bergman set is cheap.

Received my copy of Ingmar Bergman's Cinema today. This is the finest box set produced in the history of home video. Also worth noting that B&N has already sold out online. I went to a store today to pick up Some Like It Hot and they only had one copy in-store. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Nov 22, 2018 |

Detective No. 27 posted:Wait, they were gonna make you pay a higher price after you ordered it at a lower price? No, the order just cancelled. I've sent an email to support asking WTF, but Amazon have just announced that the US site is going to start shipping out to Australia again in the near futureish. Because it's an Amazon US product, I wonder if they're gonna make me try and order it through the US store front and ship it direct rather than from their US warehouse to AU warehouse and then to me. Amazon Australia is pretty terrible with overseas items, and a lot of the storefront is just AliExpress style cables and stuff through third party sellers. It hasn't been a good launch here, and now they're backpedalling further by allowing us to use the international stores again.

I started out with Hour of the Wolf to wallow in some of Nykvist's finest work (also, I hadn't watched it since 2005). The scene where Sydow times a minute is horrifying. Speaking of Bergman, some guy in a classic film Facebook group posted this and I had to go lie down for an hour...

I pre-ordered the Bergman set, and it shipped yesterday. Living in Canada, I haven't ordered from B&N since our dollar was close to par, so my memory is that their shipping takes a few months. However, they are shipping with UPS, and it claims that I will receive it on Monday. I am HIGHLY doubtful this will happen, but it would be a nice surprise.

Samuel Clemens posted:Well, you should, because that's an amazing deal. While it uses the 2006 remasters of 2001, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut (which is also the uncensored version)... Barry Lyndon was never upgraded after the 2001 DVD that's 1.66:1 letterboxed instead of 16x9 enhanced. Also, the Criterion of Barry Lyndon is an absolute must-have, along with the new 4K remaster of 2001. Criterion's DVD is the only version that's 16x9-enhanced, though you're going to want the Blu-ray. And Warner's 4K UHD (and remastered Blu) is outstanding.

I had the only copy on hold for a couple of days at my BN and I bought it yesterday. The person working there said its a good thing I did, because she had been getting calls and people coming in wanting it and they were getting pissed when she wouldn't sell it to them. And yes, it's a beautiful release.

This reminds me of one of the very first DVDs I ever bought, sometime in the late 90s. It was some samurai movie from the 60s that I'd been dying to get hold of, which had never gotten a VHS release in Europe. Get it home, pop it in the player... and it's painfully obvious that it's a 3rd generation VHS that has been transferred to DVD. This was unfortunately not too uncommon in the early days of the medium. I got my money back.
