I just grabbed Red Desert. Was going to get more but I can't justify rebuying Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (have it on HD-DVD) and I still have to finish working my way through The BBS Story boxset and watch The Last Emperor (which has been sitting on my shelf forever)

Yay, my Red Desert showed up today.  Boo, my Red Desert has an indent that slightly ripped the art.  Barnes And Noble uses the shittiest shipping packaging possible. It was my movie in the equivalent of a cardboard sleeve.

MauveTrousers posted:Quick question: Does anyone have the Lady Eve Criterion? It's one of my favorite movies ever, and I never noticed that there was a Criterion of it, is it worth the $30 or should I wait for a half off sale? I realize it came out a while back, so there might not be too many people who grabbed it. The half off sale is already going on and it has been marked down to $20

Jack Does Jihad posted:I am super hype for Godzilla. It makes me wonder how different the picture quality will be from the previous release, especially given that both features are gunna be housed on one blu-ray. The current Godzilla Blu-Ray is pure poo poo (1080i) and The Killing proved that Criterion can fit two movies on one blu-ray when they want.

CPL593H posted:The problem is that I don't have a Blu-ray player and I want to take advantage of the sale going on right now. I'm trying to decide if I should just buy the DVD and worry about the rest later or get the Blu-ray and wait a while. It's not like I want to watch this on a 19 inch CRT television. For the most part I've stopped making any video purchases at all because I'm just going to wait on getting the Blu-ray. But I really want to see House again. Basic Blu-Ray players aren't that expensive anymore. If you have your computer hooked up to your TV, you can watch House on Hulu Plus with their free trial to hold you over.

leokitty posted:That is one of the movies that was bought by Lionsgate in 2010, I don't have much hope they'll be getting back any of the big chunk they lost in that sale. I'm pretty sure they're meant to be released as a part of the (so far rather disappointing) Studio Canal collection. Was it? I thought that Warner had the rights to it from the multi-year deal they signed with The Saul Zaentz Company (which included One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus)

Just got an email saying the FilmStruck beta is over but the service still seems to be working. So if you have anything you want to watch, do it soon (even though we're getting free FilmStruck at launch) It's launching in October.

I'm not really sure what long-rear end nips Diane is talking about. Alot of movies have supplements. There's no extras barrier between tiers. Just some movies have a bunch of extras. Some don't. The frontpage is collections and (in terms of Criterion Channel) highlighting a specific movie. I don't think getting highlighted means that they'll have more extras. The only difference between tiers is that Filmstruck is suppose to be a rotating catalog of movies from a variety of movie companies and The Criterion Channel is meant to be a more permanent collection. According to /r/Criterion, these are the movies that have commentary available. Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast, Silence Of The Lambs, City Lights, Testament of Dr. Mabuse, The Thief of Bagdad, Stagecoach, Lord of the Flies, Sanjuro, The Hidden Fortress, Mona Lisa, The Player, Shoot the Piano Player. Which is pretty cool since Silence Of The Lambs and Mona Lisa are both OOP on physical media.
