My hope for that is lessening, so it better be, or my heart my hardened and I give up any hope of it happening!

I feel like if they eventually go this route and do filmography box sets in 4k, volumes might be the way to go to curb the cost of a huge 4k box set. Like 3-4 volumes of Kurosawa films in 4K sounds good to me

Y'all think Toho would allow Criterion to release Kurosawa in 4K before they did

Y'all think Toho even did 4K restorations for all of Kurosawa's films, even the lesser ones?

I’m legit loling at the idea of ALL Kurosawa getting a 4K release

Walker is a long anticipated one. I never got the BD for For All Mankind,so I'll be getting that one.

I’ll list my Walker DVD—if I’m quick I can maybe find the blu.

In for Milan. And I’m a jazz fan, so I’m curious about Round Midnight.

The Mansfield is a toss up. It’s probably something I’d want to see once, but not really more.

Pass on the new title, and I don’t have UHD.

Really like the cover for Eyimofe
