After seeing Chungking Express last week and it was the new cut, I think I might grab Memories of Murder. I know it’s similarly controversial with its color retouching, but I’ve never seen it and I’ve heard it’s a hell of a movie. Thoughts?

Franchescanado posted:Do it. I did it. RE: Chungking, I think the use of Dreams is supposed to be one of the controversial changes. Like in a previously silent scene. But I kinda liked it. I thought it was a juxtaposition of California Dreamin’. A romantic dream, vs a dream of somewhere else. I had no idea what the movie was going in to the theater, so the shift from part 1 to part 2 threw me off a bit. But overall, great!

Gripweed posted:I wonder what the standard MSRP for a 4k Criterion is gonna be. I’m guessing $40-45. The BDs retail at $27.99 out the gate, right? Maybe… $37.99? Fake edit: actually, with it being a combo, I’d say $40+ is more likely if they’re charging $28 for a standalone BD.

caught it at a local theater that shows lots of classics and indies, etc. but Night Moves is worth checking. Of its time, but definitely a great detective story.

I need to rewatch Blow-Out, but I really liked Blow Up compared to it. The apartment and park, the house party/concert... just very memorable.

Apparently Le Cercle Rouge also has a new color grading that is not well received. What is going on? I haven’t followed physical releases until the last few years, but it seems like Criterion is piling up issues left and right in a way that they haven’t before. Both technical and w/ regards to changes in content.

Memories of Murder was great. High recommendation. Being aware of the change in color made it hard to ignore. Definitely very… green. At the same time, I felt like it accommodated the film well.

Looking forward to the twist w Raging Bull UHD is that it’s colorized.

Gripweed posted:I mentioned earlier that my local Barnes and Noble had reduced their Criterion selection to a single book case. I was so angry at the fools at Barnes and Noble, that it didn't occur to me that that reduction in selection would have another ramification come sale time. We're in day 2 of the sale, and around 25% of the Criterions that were there three days ago are now gone. I was there just the other day for the Arrow sale, and I looked at the Criterions to think about what I would want when that sale started. But since they now only have room for one or two copies of each title, most of the movies I was planning to get were sold out by the time I arrived. If you were gonna buy a couple, what’s the issue of using shipping for free via B&N?
