Yeah, I would have expected noon by today. 3 is my next guess for a release time.

I hate that I'm this interested. I remember the days when I'd find out announcements had happened at some point in the last week and that was good enough.

I'm more interested than usual as it's been a pretty quiet two weeks across most of the labels. We didn't get Shout announcements, WAC is going straight to Amazon, etc.

Deep Cover: for those of you wondering, this movie is even less relevant than Armageddon and The Rock. It’s a very mediocre crime film that doesn’t really have any substance. It’s less than King of New York, Leon the Professional, Red Rock West, The Last Seduction, One False Move, and Romeo Is Bleeding. You can skip it.

As for the “woke/PC/SJW” talk, there was a great American named John Brown the abolitionist (whom Tarantino worships) who would be called all those names in the 19th century, so they’re meaningless buzzwords. I think people are just scared that in about 20 years, everybody in gonna look like Steph Curry and Denise Huxtable lol.

I get it! I wish I could quit the anticipation!

I watched Deep Cover a couple of years ago at the recommendation of, of all people, Armond White. He's a major fan of it, and so I just decided to see what he was talking about.

It was...kind of dull? I was mostly just bored.

RE: Out of print titles (BD)

Am I missing any from this list?

Le Cercle Rouge (rumored to be returning)
The Confession
Days of Heaven
La Dolce Vita (still available via Essential Fellini)
Don't Look Now
Harold and Maude
Howards End
The Last Metro
Last Year at Marienbad
The Man Who Fell to Earth
Nashville
Rosemary's Baby
The Third Man

Would you even consider LDV to be OOP given its availability? Same with Chungking Express, as it's listed on Criterion's site as being OOP.

I don't know if you threw out another one because you sensed I didn't catch your drift w/ the first one. if you did, you'd be right. I'm painfully slow catching a joke sometimes.

I honestly don’t know how this would even be considered for Criterion. People complained about Police Story, but those movies are artistically good. Deep Cover is directed by the guy who made Sister Act 2. You can watch it on Tubi and Amazon Prime and places like that, or on cable. I can’t emphasize how mediocre this movie is, compared to One False Move, etc.

Cremildo · 05-17-2021, 04:56 PM

Very happy with the Wajda.

dvining · 05-17-2021, 04:56 PM

Annoucements.

Beast of No Nation
Ashes and Diamonds
Original Cast Album "Company"
After Life

I'll take Ashes and Diamonds, please.

tama · 05-17-2021, 04:58 PM

Only Ashes and Diamonds for me. No interest in the rest.

I swear it was OOP at some point.

The Last Metro is still in print but you're missing Leon Morin, Priest.
Chungking is an odd case because the transfer on the OOP disc is different (and there are some differences in the audio and credits) with some people preferring the old disc as it's more in line with how they remember the movie.
I don't think there are differences with LDV in the Fellini set so that's less of an issue.
You can filter the collection on the criterion site by OOP status if you ever need to check what's currently OOP, and you can filter it down to just BD releases.

Bummer month for me (only four titles and no upgrades) but at least that showtune documentary is out of the way.

Ashes and Diamonds is an upgrade, I believe. Its spine is #285.

Gacivory · 05-17-2021, 05:03 PM

I’m really happy about Beasts of No Nation, Original Cast Album: “Company”, & and might buy a second copy of After Life!

Surprised Ashes & Diamonds is a solo upgrade and not part of Wajda’s War Trilogy set.

I stand corrected. The new cover art threw me off! In that case, that's down to three new titles. We were spoiled the last few months.
