morestuff posted:Still not a perfect solution, but this should ease the suffering a little: That is still the worse program ever. After paying the shipping to mail the disc and $25 dollars to them, you only get a Blu-Ray disc in return. On Amazon, you can get any of the Criterion Blu-Rays for $30 or under.

ClydeUmney posted:Of any Fincher movies to get Criterion, it's sad that they picked his weakest effort. The 2-discs of Fight Club and Se7en are pretty flawless, so they don't need much more - is the two-disc Zodiac as good as that film dseserves? Yeah, the release of Zodiac (I have the HD-DVD) was pretty good. Great transfer, awesome cover, Director's Cut with 2 commentaries, hour long behind the scenes, feature length documentary on the Zodiac, and a 40 minute documentary on Arthur Leigh Allen. Almost all of the extras were in HD too.

I've been contemplating getting it and if this is the case I'll hold on getting it until it's rereleased.

Spartacus was already released on HD-DVD, same with Fear & Loathing (which is coming later this year on Blu via Universal) It will get a Blu-Ray release but Criterion won't be behind it...which sucks because Spartacus desperately needs to be cleaned up.

Maybe they are using stolen credit cards to buy the stuff from Wal-Mart in the hopes that Paypal will be lazy, see the tracking number, go "durf they got the product wat the problem" and tell you to go screw instead of pulling the money out of their account? It would be risky but it would also be 100% profit if eBay/the credit card companies don't catch on.

What an awesome company Criterion is. I placed an order for 2 replacement Blu-Ray cases back in January but never received them. Emailed them yesterday, got a response today saying that not only are they resending them via USPS Priority but that they are throwing in a $10 gift certificate. Can't think of any other company that would do that for an order that was only $10.61.

I don't know if you can use a gift certificate on rentals but  could get 2 movies from there.Or like Jay Dub suggested, it could be used to get a normal release down to a reasonable price.

Cacator posted:But the Criterion is out of print, that one just came out two weeks ago. Yeah, Criterion lost the rights to it making their release OOP and Studio Canal released it when the rights reverted back to them. For a Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas Criterion Blu-Ray to happen, Universal would have to give them permission. I'm not saying it would never happen but it wouldn't make much sense since the Criterion release would blow Universal's out of the water.

doctor thodt posted:The Fountain is on Blu-Ray as well, albeit with lossy audio and no commentary. I'd love to see a film like that get the full Criterion treatment, but WB doesn't license their titles out. Yeah, The Fountain isn't that crazy of a choice since Darren Aronofsky was asking people to email Jon Mulvaney for a Criterion edition after Warner wiped their hands of it and refused put any money up for extras (including a director's commentary track) Darren Aronofsky in 2007 posted:so the dvd came out.

Criterion has teamed up with Hulu Plusquote:Starting today, there are more than 150 of our most important films online on the Hulu Plus subscription service. Over the coming months, that number will swell to more than 800 films. For the true cinephile, this should be a dream come true. On Hulu Plus, you’ll find everything in our library, from Academy Award winners to many of the most famous films by art-house superstars like Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and Federico Fellini to films so rare that they have never been seen in the U.S. in any medium. Some of these lost gems have been so hard to see that even most of the Criterion staff will see them for the first time only when they go live on Hulu Plus! Each month, we’ll be highlighting a mix of programs, centered on themes, directors, actors, and other creative artists, as well as celebrity picks, and mixing them with deep cuts from the catalog that will be unknown to all but the most prominent cinephiles in the world. http://www.criterion.com/current/po...ampaign+Monitor http://www.hulu.com/criterion I don't have Hulu Plus but hopefully they didn't put ads in the middle of the movies (at the beginning would be fine) Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Feb 15, 2011 |

Macrame_God posted:Is I Am Curious any good? Forgive me if this sounds creepy, but for some strange reason I've been interested in films dealing with the subject of sexuality as of late and I've heard that "I Am Curious" is a famous picture that deals with the subject. However, I've also heard that it's one of the less-deserving of the Criterion titles so I just wanted to gauge where everyone else stood on the picture before I took the plunge. If you haven't yet, check out The Unbearable Lightness Of Being. I wish Warner would give them the rights back to it.
