I like the new cover a lot more.

crey014 · 10-07-2009, 10:47 PM

I prefer the older one for some reason. :P

Then again, this cover reminds me of Fanny and Alexander. Heh.

Has anyone seen this movie? I am curious... How is it?

I've seen it, and I enjoyed it quite much. It came on IFC not too long ago, and I recorded it onto my DVR. It's a good film about the typical dysfunctional French family. Plus, it has a great performance from Mathieu Amalric, who I enjoy more and more with each film I see. I look forward to the blu-ray release.

In regards to the UK BD release of Belle de jour by Studio Canal, are we sure that Lionsgate has the US rights? Last I knew the US DVD was from Buena Vista (via Miramax). Perhaps the US BD will also be through Buena Vista?

I've had The Third Man on order from Amazon since August 31st. Currently, Amazon does not even list the item as temporarily out of stock but as NLA. I know this has been mentioned before, but have we heard anything from Criterion on this? It's still listed as available on their website but Amazon does not have it. They have, however, not canceled my preorder.

No we're not sure. Most likely Lionsgate does not have the US rights, as the UK BD apparently is region B only. Myself, I'm hoping that Criterion is able to put it out on blu-ray.

General consensus theory is that it's out of print in its cardboard incarnation, about to rise from the ashes in a plastic case.

Almost took a full month but I received my copy of The Seventh Seal

You can pretty much guess what I will be doing now

Belloche · 10-08-2009, 09:28 PM

I just got the Criterion newsletter. The Hint at the bottom looks like an 8 1/2 Blu-ray

crey014 · 10-08-2009, 09:51 PM

^Perfect timing for the cinema release of "9".

And holy crap I cannot wait for some Fellini!!!

PowellPressburger · 10-08-2009, 10:19 PM

I thought 8 1/2 too but I wonder why they would use a dog to illustrate it ? But that could mean Jan / FEB / March ,,,, hahah

I just read they pushed the film release for NINE to mid Dec select cities and Dec 25th Nationwide. I thought it was gonna be DEC for the release anyhow I guess originally it was coming in Nov.

crey014 · 10-08-2009, 10:20 PM

8 1/2 B****es? Hehe...

OH. The Third Man is back in stock on amazon. Any news if this will still be the slipcover release or plastic?

I think it's still slipcover, no?

Abacab · 10-09-2009, 03:22 AM

Third Man is back in stock at Amazon. My order has shipped.

Much preferred. Liked the simple old one, but thought it was a little too simple.

Good one! I'm never good at figuring these out.

Do you guys think that there will be Director's cut of Benjamin Button? I do know there was more footage filmed and they missed the 7th lightning story so is it possible or because Criterion released it, that means no double dip for this title?

Highly doubt we'll see another release of Benjamin Button.
