I guess back then, when all we had were non-letterbox VHS, it WAS special. Now it seems we sort of take for granted that until VHS, and really to a degree the DVD market, many films weren't even available to us, especially with top-quality video and sound. Criterion has always been my favorite of all the companies and I just wanted to applaud their work yet again.

DVD made it a lot easier to be a movie geek. I have a nostalgia for the old days too but it can't hold up against owning The 400 Blows and The Wages of Fear on Blu-ray.

A classic Fellini Blu-ray is on its way - should be announced in the next month or so...

Did you mean "8 1/2," horseflesh?

Well spotted

When I was typing, for some reason I had the decimal "8.5" in my head

Looks like no announcements today...

Beta Man · 09-15-2009, 09:47 PM

anyone else get a delay notification from Amazon for "Howard's End" ??? I am still assuming this is the Criterion version on Blu-ray (no details in the product description though)

I may have read it incorrectly, but I threw my Mac-Book on the ground and set it on fire a-la' Jimi...... so I should go back and try to digest the info I guess

Yeah, I got the same notification, too, Beta Man. I've read of others getting the same one, as well. It hasn't changed on Criterion's site, yet, though, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

Thanks. I got the idea after seeing the Criterion "C" in another user's avatar. So, then the lightbulb in my head went on and I realized I could use the "C" to make my username. It came out all right, I suppose.

Yeah, I received the same email. I guess Criterion wanted 2 releases for November

Man, oh, man... you went for the jugular on that one, Beta.

Just for that, when Criterion does announce their December releases, I'm not gonna let you see 'em. Ha!

And remember, I am slightly older in you (I believe), so I think you should respect your elders.

Just received an email from Amazon that Monsoon Wedding and Wings of Desire are pushed back to Nov 5 also

is Nights of Cabiria

I'm guessing Amarcord, since I believe it's the latest Fellini they have released (in 2006) and was possibly mastered in 1080p. My preference, however, would be 8 1/2.

PowellPressburger · 09-16-2009, 04:38 AM

I would NOT discount Juliet of the Spirits his technicolor masterpiece on BD in HD!

captveg · 09-16-2009, 04:47 AM

It'll be 8 1/2. Too easy to get extra press/sales due to the release of Nine.
