Is that a first for Criterion? I've never seen that before.

That would be.............awesome. They can be called The Contempts or The Band of Outsiders.

Great, I can forsee pages and pages of "What do you do with your disposable back?/I got a creased disposable back" posts

Well something as to generate conversation, the Criterion case replacement issue is pretty much under control now.

I believe my THE KILLERS 2 Disc DVD edition featured slip papers for front and back ? Or was it just the back? I can't remember I know I still have it/them inside my DVD case I am sure.

Hello Movie fans,

Now that Criterion has released The Thin Red Line for region A, will there ever be a region B coded release for the European market? Will Fox ever release a non-Criterion version for the rest of the world?

Unfortunately, as Americans we are ignorant to the rest of the world and its concerns.

Just kidding.

I'm sure you frequent the European threads, so I'm sure you'd find a better answer over there. Also, you could send a PM to pro-b since he's the one that handles all of the foreign blu-ray reviews. He might have some insight for you.

A sidenote, though... if you do get a region B release, it won't be nearly as cool as the region A Criterion release.

It's far too popular of a film to be ignored in other regions for long....... I'd expect another release being either Region B, or Region Free to come out about 6 months after Criterion's.

I found it at my local Best Buy on Northern Blvd in Woodside, Queens. Three copies on the shelf until I snagged one.

Wonder if it's enough to set off all the slipcover nuts into buying Criterion.

I think they (most) were saying that the original 9 Digipack Criterion's "Didn't Count" so I doubt they'd go gaga over a glued on piece of paper (that most of the Digibooks also have.....)

They certainly are a different breed though....... Discussions of ordering movies, but returning them because of a dinged corner on the slipcover, etc.... wow.....

This is from a poster over on the slipcover boards....

"Guess who got the original Gladiator slipcover with 2-disc set on the back.

<--- This guy.

Now I need to decide which slip to put on the BD on my shelf..."

I mean...aren't these 2 slipcovers IDENTICAL except for that tiny little label????? WTF?????

Honestly I throw most of my slipcovers in the trash unless they are unique looking. To me they are simply an unnecessary annoyance. One time I said as much on that slipcover thread and you'd think I'd killed a kitten.

There was only one stamped out as a test-run. For some reason, Criterion felt the need to give it to me. I said, "why in the he11 would I want this piece of crap?" And, then I just tossed it into a pile of other priceless one-offs that Criterion throws my way.

80% of the posters in the slipcover thread just fainted when reading your post
