The Criterion Collection

[brainofj72]

lol Crash on standard BD - they’re just trolling at this point.

Happy to see Mouchette is getting upgraded, though. I’ll definitely grab that one.

[HipsterTrash]

Yes y'all, I know Chasing Amy was on the line label on DVD. I still don't think his work should be in the collection.
And hell yes, I'm in for Crash. Day. One.

[bonehica]

Mouchette and Amores Perros are slam dunks! Would grab Crash as well, but already have the German 4K and am double dipping on the Arrow 4K. If the extras are worth it, may grab one during a sale.

[MifuneFan]

Besides Mouchette, the covers for December are out there

[Dew95]

They’ve got to be trolling with these 1080p discs

[tylerdurden10]

They apparently didn't get the memo that Crash is already coming in 4K...

I feel like the delay in the theatrical run means the box will be pushed. I was hoping they would ignore that, but oh well.

I think Clerks would be perfect for the criterion collection - it’s one of those tiny budget indie flicks that’s gone on to become an influential classic.

[HipsterTrash]

So then WKW set next year with maybe a Kurosawa set and a Truffaut set?

If Criterion are trying for more representation, maybe they should focus on indie titles from bipoc individuals. Medicine for Melancholy is a cheap indie film that should instead be on the label.

Well I knew when I bought the DVD of Mouchette it would only be a matter of time...I'll pick up the blu at some point though

YAYHOO!!! WE DID IT! It's PAGE 10,000! What a historical day in the era of the Criterion Collection thread!

Here's a screenshot of page 9,999 just seconds ago.

Crash wasn't that surprising since the Region B just got announced a few months before but god, can we talk about how grotesque and crazy good/disturbing that cover art is?

Amores Perros, as we all know, is going to be popping in everyone's mind for the month. Very glad it came out and very glad I didn't blind buy the DVD at Barnes and Noble. The title that everyone wanted and knew was going to be released alongside After Hours.

Mouchette reminds me that I need to watch more Bresson (Only seen A Man Escaped and Pickpocket). Also worth noting that I think it's the only Rialto Pictures/StudioCanal title that DIDN'T go OOP on 2010 and 2013's OOP list. Now that Army of Shadows is back, this is getting the Blu-ray release it deserves. Guess I'll start watching Au Hasard Balthazar then (About damn time lmao).

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm is the one that I didn't expect because I thought it already had a Blu-ray release because I see it all the time on Criterion Channel. At least there's an obscure title that's being sold. Very interested in watching this one on the Channel soon.

Happy 10,000th Page!!!

I hope Criterion keeps ignoring 4K. Their discs are expensive enough already.

30,000 more and Criterion will make the jump?

[HipsterTrash]

Hello page 10,000.

[Helikaon]

Calling it now: Criterion will make the move to 4k on page 14,287. I'm OK with that.

[RojD]

Yay! I got on #10,000!

Most excited by the Symbiopsychotaxiplasmas, but I'm gonna love seeing Mouchette in 1080p blu. It's the best we're gonna get.

Wondering why such a light month. Because of the two recent giant sets? COVID? or maybe a WKW box announcement later? It's been an impressive year so far.

[chocolat]

Mouchette is a strong upgrade to end the year with. Crash and Perros are great covers

This just seems like OTT snobbery...

Why not both? I think Clerks has more than earned its place to be part of the collection.
