Does anyone know if Amazon is selling "Bottle Rocket" with the plastic case, or do I need to plan on ordering the plastic case directly from Criterion? Both BestBuy's near me are still selling the original casing.

I've wondered myself if all the cardboard versions have finally been sold of all those titles.
I have left some of mine sealed so I can just exchange them, and I wish we could get some people who have received "plastic case" versions" from amazon to "check in"
maybe someone will see these posts who knows something.

Hopefully so.

why obviously? Spartacus is a universal film. obviously another universal release didn't make it to blu-ray criterion "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

Am I the only one who thinks Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Criterion Blu-Ray is a real possibility? You would think that there is something going on since they haven't even given it a date yet. I think with criterion's history with the monty python films that this would be the logical next step.

At this point Flying Circus (rumored) would be released first.

It's a good idea though, yes? I mean who wouldn't buy a MPATHG Criterion Blu-Ray?!

Quite possibly the worst film I ever paid to see... I can not for the life of me understand how anyone loves the film. Its intolerably pretentious.

Why obviously? First of all, you obviously didn't read the question correctly. So, here it is again.

jmcy2k is asking that because of Universal's upcoming release of "Spartacus" then we shouldn't expect a Criterion blu-ray release of "Spartacus."

So, I replied... "yes, obviously."

If I felt that my answer was going to be confusing I would've elaborated on it, and it would've gone a bit like this...

"Yes, jmcy2k... because of Universal's upcoming blu-ray release of "Spartacus" it is obvious that we should not expect a "Spartacus" blu-ray of Criterion.

So, in hindsight your reply is correct but calling me out as being incorrect is obviously incorrect.

Got all of that?

I know that Criterion is working on The Seven Samurai but has there been any word that it will oficially make it out this year or is it looking like next year?

They said they are going to drop everything to bring this one movie out this year. No later.

All we've heard is that it should be released later in the year, so hopefully Criterion's able to come through for us.

Oh, that's the silly side of CG talking.

I've read enough of your posts to appreciate your humor.

By the way, your past couple of avatars have been Velvet Underground-related, haven't they?

And yes, Velvet Underground related things you will see alot of from me. That pic is from Warhol's "13 Most Beautiful... Songs for Andy Warhol Screen Tests", Lou Reed with a coke bottle.

A Warhol/Criterion anything would make me happy.

Seven Samurai will be released in the fall. After all, it is their flagship title.

Their best seller and one of the few films people usually bring up when discussing Criterion. Plus, it's a damn good film.
