The Criterion Collection

So what are you guys opinions on when we are going to get some Wes Anderson on 4K. Tenenbaums, Zissou, Budapest Hotel & Asteroid City especially. I love Mr. Fox but Im not sure how that style of animation would transfer.

As such that style of animation would transfer beautifully - it's primarily stop motion, so everything is in-camera. However, the source is a 2K DI, so a 4K UHD release would primarily be an upscale. But it might still benefit from HDR.

I'd buy them all, but Zissou would be a day one!

The real question: will Barnes and Noble carry the Janus titles?

Why do you think they wouldn’t?

I figure it might be too much trouble for people to calculate the half off for a different price.

In this day and age people can barely take the half off of the regular Criterion’s! Is it too off or bottom off?

Center cut, medium rare.

Nope. But it should be obvious as to why.

I'm no expert, but apparently it's difficult to do a boxset with films from various studios.

Winchester 73 - Universal
Bend of the River - Universal
The Naked Spur - Warner Bros
The Far Country - Universal
The Man from Laramie - Sony

I'd be happy just to have Winchester 73 on BD.

That, The Big Sky, 7 Men from Now and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid are the remaining big holes to fill for American westerns on HD disc.

I decided to do a last-minute purchase before the sale ended and got The Ranown Westerns box set. A pretty expensive blind buy but as a fan of Westerns, I'm sure I'm going to like them.

I don't know enough about right's situations to know whether or not this is an impossibility or a "maybe."

100% deserving, but likely will never happen.

I finally got to a Barnes & Nobles and bought from the sale. It was slim pickings by the last day though and I had to order 3 titles from Amazon price matched to the sale.

I wish I could have bought more, but I picked up:

After Hours 4K
One False Move 4K
Targets
Thelma & Louise 4K
Time Bandits 4K

I bought 21 titles during the sale. Watched a few during my days off and enjoyed them.
