I've seen half of the Monsters and Madmen, so I may go ahead and pick that up. The new Yojimbo and Sanjuro look great too. I haven't yet picked up the new Seven Samurai, so does anyone know if Hidden Fortress is going to be getting a new edition? If so, I may just wait and see if they release all four movies in a box set like they did before.

Looks like The Lady Vanishes will be re-issued
Argh, another double dip for me. I'm sure the extras will make it worth while though (I hope).

I've actually wanted to get into that as a career but don't really know where to turn or where to begin. I've tried emailing the George Eastman House with no reply, and the folks at Criterion said just to send in a resume - but with no experiencr I don't know how much good that'll do.
Interesting that you didn't hear back from GEH -- I used to work/volunteer there in the motion picture department. It's a great program, and one I was interested in until my life took a different direction. But like what others have said in this thread, archiving is a pretty tough market to get into, and with a bunch of programs (UCLA, NYU, GEH + others) feeding into it, it's crowded. But if you're interested, you should absolutely look into it! One of the things I loved about the program at GEH was that it was very hands on, although as mentioned, more focused on archiving/preservation than restoration.
I should have PMs turned on, so feel free to ask more.

I'm sure this is old news to everyone, but this weekend I got to see the DCP of The Passion of Joan of Arc on the big screen, and oh my god was it amazing. You could see every pore, and I can't wait to add the blu-ray to my collection during the next sale.
