I've had separate Prime orders with the same release date shipped together...but I've never had an "upgrade" on one order (Supersaver) ship with a Prime released on the same date.

I saw a Janus Films print of Godard's Week End last night in a local theater. Parts of it were outstanding, and I spent probably the first hour convinced I loved the film. Unfortunately there are some (lengthy) segments in the back 45 minutes or so that seem to just go on and on (and the main characters themselves look bored to tears as well, haha). However that does seem par for the course with Godard films (I've seen quite a few now, slowly working my way through his catalogue - new wave at least, though I've seen some from the 80's and some of his most recent output), and I liked Week End more than I was ever bored by it. Parts of it are very disturbing: the constant specter of car crash infernos, and the motionless, blood-stained bodies lying about everywhere, obviously. But also the way that rape is portrayed, almost as a casual inconvenience. And what Roland does with his lighter at one point.... Yet also a hilarious film - clever dialogue, breaking of the 4th wall, etc.

I figure a Criterion release is assured at this point. Definitely one I'd like to revisit.

Was there ever an English dubbed version of 'My Life as a Dog' ?

It may well be, it,s been sometime since a release of one of his movies

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Robert Altman's "The Long Goodbye" deserves to be on Criterion:

I am sure I am late to the party but amazon.uk as this set from Artificial Eye The Mizoguchi Collection. It came out last week.

Not Criterion, but several people, including myself, wished this might have been a Criterion release (a loooooong shot, but we could dream). Yellow Submarine: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0079J28NW

The US site doesn't have the pre-order up yet for some odd reason. I'm still waiting for them to add the June pre-orders for Criterion too. They're also having a mini-sale of sorts, as a bunch of titles are down in the 20-24 dollar range. :)

I really want to get that Mizoguchi Collection Pat! I'm waiting to see if it drops in price a bit first...

Should be an excellent release. I've been close to biting on the Canadian AHDN release but have read the transfer leaves much to be desired. Although, the audio seems to be quite good.

I suppose Criterion landing any Beatles property would be incredibly difficult but it would sell like hot cakes with the "C" on it.

I sure will Spidey...probably won't get to it until this weekend. I did crack it open and I have my first official gripe for Kino-Lorber. They used "green" packaging for this (2) BD set and there are those hideous holes behind each disc...I'm already looking for a similar case to swap it out with. Not a happy camper :(

Yellow Submarine on blu has been showing up and disappearing on the US Amazon site. Same price as the Canadian...is there a separate US release on the same date and what's with this disappearing and reappearing act? :confused:

Hopefully, this makes it official:

THANKS Shell! I know that I can always count on you! :)

EDIT: Looks official here as well: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8413

I haven't jumped on AHDN either, even though it's like 9 bucks at Wally World, and they have tons of stock. I remember paying close to 30 for the 2-disc DVD edition Miramax put out, in the horrible cardboard packaging that's crushed and beat up from all the moving I did.

Yellow Submarine's actually my favourite out of all of the films. I also own the "ghetto" copy of MMT, because it looks like someone made a bootleg out of their basement, the cover and such are really bad quality, yet I bought it from amazon.ca and not a marketplace seller.

I've notice that the US site is having issues getting the film up, because I was going to order it and grab one of my Criterion wishlist titles, as they're much cheaper than on the Canadian site. I ended up grabbing 3 book pre-orders for May instead. :) I just wish the bloody June pre-orders would show up already. I love being able to pre-order Criterions.

Price is not so bad 35 pounds for four movies, it's about 9 pounds per movie.

forget this I quoted the wrong post

Is that the Keaton set?

I know Pat...it's really not that bad a price...it's always harder for me to justify UK purchases, unless they are "gimmees", like BFI Ozus and MoC films. I just got Letter Never Sent and the new Kino Keaton set already this week.

I'll weaken at some point... ;)

EDIT: I'm also trying to save for the next wave of MoC BDs...at least one of the two Mizos that they are releasing...

Mea Culpa. P@t_Mtl, BohemianGraham, rkish, ShellOilJunior, Spiderbaby, & CCfixx are all my sockpuppets. Doc says I have to separate them all out before I can truly integrate.

WTS? I think you'd be the most likely culprit, as half the time I have no idea what the hell you're saying.
