We already got 8K TVs. Once they become a little more affordable within the decade, we will probably see the move to 8K video.

I look forward to owning a 150" TV and sitting 5 feet away from it.

Uncut Gems 4K coming

Still can't understand why they didn't stick with the updated poster art. That represented the film a hell of a lot better than this new cover.

I think we’re in for big news Monday

They sure keep you guessing with their (yearly) "surprise" announcements. I'll admit I didn't have Disney-friendly release on my Bingo card.

Flash sale today. Bought Le Cercle Roughe and For All Mankind
RA-MEN ROPPAI
For the flash sale, I ended up picking up everything that has been released so far during October, including Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project No. 4 from the last week of September. I already have Cure, La Llorona, and Eve's Bayou on preorder.
November will be another busy month, but that is also half-off time at Barnes & Noble.

The lost highway 4k is beautiful! It's like watching the film for the first time. All of lynch's films on criterion are just special..I highly recommend getting all of them if you can.
I'm also looking forward to cure very much, it comes out soon.

Bit annoyed as I bought the 1984 adaptation because I specifically wanted the Eurythmics and orchestral score choice but it won't play in the UK! I'd read somewhere that 4K blurays are never region specific and Amazon didn't specify that it wouldn't play in UK on the bluray, but it did on the DVD. harumph, its not really an issue as I'm sending it back but why is the whole Criterion Collection just US based, it's very annoying and you cant get this particular score choice on any other edition
RA-MEN ROPPAI
1984 is not available on 4K Blu-ray.

*frantically rushes to pre order* fuck yes!!! Can't wait!!!
Active Member
its my fault for not checking further, Amazon are great for refunds anyway. I’m just pissed off that there is no way to get this particular edition in the UK
RA-MEN ROPPAI
Obviously a must-order, but they didn't keep the Quinoa short from the DVD.

50% off Flash Sale on Criterion's official store today. Last time there was one I found out about it on this thread and scored lots of gems (Monterey Pop, Eyes Without A Face, The Brood, Eraserhead, Crash, The Wages of Fear, Stalker, Cure) so I figured I should pay it forward!

I have the three-pack Blu-ray box set for Guillermo del Toro and I'm almost tempted to buy them individually as well because it's a pain to get the discs in and out from that thing.
Hairy Member
I bought it however I haven't looked at it yet. Has anyone looked at it yet? I will say it's not in a digi pack like the other lynch films on criterion. Plastic case...boo...
tempus est umbra in mente
I just got the Godzilla criterion box set and wow is that thing beautiful. Just, the box is so big it won't fit on any shelf
Throbbing Member
I do not own it yet. I'll pick it up soon though. Too bad about the case. I don't really care, at the end of the day the film itself is what I'm buying. But the digipacks look nicer and all my other Lynch stuff is digi
Hairy Member
Yeah at the end of the day it does not matter but as a collector of omnibus comics it does bother me when the spines are different. Sometimes it does feel like companies are fucking with me on purpose even though it's just human negligence.. Haha.
RA-MEN ROPPAI
Yep, I have to put that, the Bergman box set, the Fellini box set, the Varda box set, and Zatoichi in a separate place from the rest of my collection.

Starting this fall, Criterion will proudly join Janus Films in presenting Janus Contemporaries, a new line of home-video editions of first-run releases, fresh from theaters, following their streaming premieres on the Criterion Channel.
Kicking off with Jerzy Skolimowski’s Cannes Jury Prize winner and Academy Award nominee EO, the 2023 slate of the Janus Contemporaries line will feature Jafar Panahi’s No Bears, Louis Garrel’s The Innocent, Hlynur Pálmason’s Godland, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s Tori and Lokita, and Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s The Eight Mountains.
The Blu-ray and DVD editions will include new interviews with the filmmakers produced by Criterion as part of the Criterion Channel series Meet the Filmmakers, and will retail for $29.95 (Blu-ray) and $24.95 (DVD).
Known for more than sixty-five years as the premier U.S. distributor of international art-house cinema, Janus is home to many of the greatest movies ever made, from such vaunted masters as Chantal Akerman, Michelangelo Antonioni, Ingmar Bergman, Jean Cocteau, the Coen brothers, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard, Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch, Yasujiro Ozu, Satyajit Ray, Ousmane Sembène, François Truffaut, Melvin Van Peebles, Agnès Varda, Wim Wenders, and Wong Kar Wai. Last year, when Sight and Sound revealed the results of its once-a-decade poll, the critics’ and directors’ lists of the top hundred films of all time each included more than fifty entries from the Janus library.
After premiering many key works by Antonioni, Bergman, and Fellini in the 1960s, Janus largely stepped away from first-run theatrical distribution. Following the release of Kurosawa’s Dodes’ka-den (1970), the company focused on theatrical runs of restored classics from its library until 2009, when it distributed Götz Spielmann’s Revanche.
Over the past decade, Janus has released a steady stream of celebrated art-house hits, including Academy Award winners like Paolo Sorrentino’s The Great Beauty and Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car, which marked the start of Janus’s landmark partnership with bespoke theatrical specialist Sideshow.
With a more robust first-run lineup than it has had since the 1960s and powerful partnerships with theatrical specialists Sideshow and the Criterion Channel streaming service, Janus is uniquely well positioned to bring the best films from around the world to theaters and homes across North America. The launch of Janus Contemporaries completes that picture.
