Yes, I did. Personally, that's the only way I think it should be seen.

Yes definitely, but how many people can stay focused for 4 hours? Some would get impatient.

I saw the Leopard (1963) the other day theatrically with a friend who didn't know much about it... She pretty much sighed the whole way through its 3hr20 running time. Sucked for me, because I loved it. Her problem was she stopped concentrating on who the characters were, and she didn't happen to know the faces of Alain Delon, Cardinale and Lancaster, which it made it easy for me to follow it.

Lol one of the problems I have is, if I start a movie I'd like to see it end. I just feel weird just stopping it in between. I'll give this movie another shot, let's see how it holds up.

I just depends on the viewer I suppose. I found the film and it's subject matter to be interesting enough that I never got bored. The film never felt like it was 4 hours to me.

Just finished this. Custom cover for THE ROCK to make it fit in with your Criterion Collection. FYI: It's sized to fit the clear Criterion blu cases.

Thought I'd post it here for anyone else who might be interested.

But Criterion hasn't released "The Rock" on blu-ray, only on dvd...

captveg · 10-21-2009, 07:32 PM

The Buena Vista Blu-ray of The Rock is essentially the Criterion.

The Blu-ray that is out right now from Buena Vista has exactly the same content as the Criterion DVD. The case even says something to the effect of "all extras originally produced by Criterion."

Anyway.... cover's there if you want it.

I guess you won't be watching Fanny & Alexander, then, at 5 hours... or Berlin Alexanderplatz, which runs 14.

I might be forced toin my class, I guess if it's captivating for 4 hours then it's fine. Personally I could have done with 4 hours of Benjamin Button and Inglourious, though it won't happen

and I just realized Criterion has a Hendrix concert on Criterion? That's flipping crazy, anyone know how that is? I think I might get it.

Criterion should take another shot at concerts, maybe NIN or maybe that's too recent.

Nine Inch Nails has a concert BD already and it's excellent:

Of course I know that but have you seen their recent Lights in the Sky tour and the NY/LA/CH shows? They're just screaming for a bluray treatment and Trent really outdone himself with those concerts. I could care less about the Wave Goodbye tour, it was a good concert but too short and not enough theatrical stuff.

It's Hendrix at Monterey Pop!!! What else could you want? Plus, you also get Otis Redding's amazing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival on the same disc!!! If you haven't seen any of the Monterey Pop concert footage, then you're missing out. Criterion has had these amazing performances out on DVD since 2002, but it's only recently that Criterion has been able to bring them to the blu-ray format. If you're a fan of music, then there's no reason that you shouldn't watch this stuff and love it! "The Complete Monterey Pop Festival" 2-disc set is a great moment in music history.

As for Che, like I said before, but have finally decided once I get free time I'll watch this movie. Part 1 one day and part 2 the next day. Please tell me this is some of the score of the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fjn4...eature=related

I'm not so into the documentaries about old concerts and festivals but if it's Jimi Hendrix performing (huge fan here btw) I got to see this, I just hope it's a strong performance and I haven't listened to any Otis Redding but maybe this bluray could get me into him.

Omg, if Criterion gets rights to This is It, life over.

Me, I'll go with Harry Medved's Golden Turkeys listing on it:

Yes its funny, but it sounds like the joker turned it off after 15 minutes, like I did first time I saw it.
