I wonder if the SBTB release will hase an up to date Dustin Diamond retrospective documentary & how to get the Screech look

mja345 · 07-03-2017, 07:16 PM

Speaking of Frankenheimer, a couple of his films I'd love to see released are "All Fall Down", featuring Angela Lansbury, Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint, and a young Warren Beatty and "The Fixer", featuring a brilliant performance by Alan Bates. They bookended his great 60s run that featured "Seconds", "The Manchurian Candidate", "Seven Days in May, "The Train", "Birdman of Alcatraz". That run was abruptly ended by the legendarily awful "The Extraordinary Seaman".

It's not Frankenheimer but I wish Criterion would release Advise & Consent from Otto Preminger. It's a film long overdue for a BluRay release which is also I believe in Criterion's niche

So Studio Canal thinks Belle de Jour needs a new remaster? I just popped in the Criterion disc and it looks absolutely beautiful to me. I'm more than happy with it.

Studio Canal themselves have a brilliant blu-ray of the film in region B territories. The new scan / restoration would mainly be for archival purposes as per the approved norm of 4K scans for digital storage of 35mm film, although of course they will release a blu-ray because lots of people see "4k restoration" and want to upgrade, and it would bring in some returns for the expense. But then people are willing get even the same transfer that was released earlier on other labels just because it was put together by Criterion, case in point the Wes Anderson films or Dr. Strangelove.

Yep, I am too. Love the release, love the film.

Then again, when it comes to technical questions I'm pretty much the last person anyone wants to ask. I just don't discern things all that precisely ... or well.

ShellOilJunior · 07-03-2017, 08:13 PM

Every time I think of Studio Canal I think of the films they're holding hostage. Bob le Flambeur, for instance. Not available on BR in any region. It'd be one thing if they chose to release an acceptable BR themselves but they have not.

I'm right there with you. I recently discovered that the U.K. release of Terminator 3 uses the AVC codec and TrueHD 5.1 audio, supposedly making for better PQ/AQ since the U.S. uses VC-1 and standard 5.1. So for $8 dollars I made a purchase. I couldnt tell a difference. Talk about pissing my money away. I could have bought a big mac meal. I love big macs. I also love Terminator 3. Yup.

Yeah, it's frustrating. It's a fantastic film.

A new 4K restoration is screening as part an upcoming Melville season at the BFI in August, so fingers crossed it makes it to disc soon after.

Whoa, that's great news. Too bad it'll take 5 years for Criterion to release it on disc...

So, how'd it look?

javy · 07-04-2017, 12:48 AM

Vivre Sa Vie or Band of Outsiders for my next Goddard film? I have Breathless and Hail Mary and love them both.

Oh, man. What a question. Ouch.

Two of my favorite films, not just Godard films, films in general. This is like a King Solomon situation.

You can't possibly go wrong with either one.

They're different tonally (up to a point).

Band of Outsiders is loaded with iconic scenes and images, that's for sure. But if you want pretty much all Anna all the time, then go with Vivre sa vie. But like I said, you really can't go wrong. You'll end up with both eventually, anyways.

You know, I started it this morning but was interrupted about five minutes in and shut it off and decided to watch it later.

It looked pretty clear. I have nothing to compare their print with, but their work on silents is usually pretty strong so I'd imagine it would look quite good on disc.

When it's never released.

When does the B&N Criterion sale begin? I called 2 B&N yesterday and none of them knew. Seriously, none of them could tell me.

moviflicilm · 07-04-2017, 05:19 AM

It should be coming in the next couple of weeks. The sales are always held during the mid-period of July, at least up in my local B&N.

Gacivory · 07-04-2017, 05:55 AM

I feel like when the start date of the Barnes & Noble sale is discovered, it should be added to the title of this page.
