The Criterion Collection

[ccfixx]

I received the Classic Bergman set today, so if you need me I'll be in front of the TV in my easy chair sans clothing. Just me... and Bergman.

EDIT: I misread what you said. He studied at Harvard and Oxford, but he did indeed teach at MIT.

Congrats Chris...ENJOY!

I'll likely do the same with Chaplin over the weekend.

My equivalent of your Bergman set should be coming to me in the next week or so from the UK. Ozu's Melodrama Collection.

As you will be clothes-less...I'll restrain from calling you or stopping by unexpectedly.

But Spidey is the director's cut. It's how the filmmaker (me) intended a username to be. The other was a "Hurry up, sign up so I can start posting, I won't be on here long anyways, I'm bad at coming up with names" username.

I got distracted by Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory coming on HBO2. I've been following the West Memphis 3 since the first Paradise Lost first came on HBO in 1996. However, I haven't seen the third one so it has my attention right now.

Also, my clothes are still on.

Be careful, some of your fans could turn against you because of that, ask George Lucas

Well...you can see how much time I spent on my username. If I wasn't a network guy, it might have taken at least another minute to come up with an appropriate name.

Don't worry, I don't think in a year I will change it again ("No, but this is what I really wanted! 3D was my vision all along!").

You speak too quickly, Rich. I didn't say what my clothes were on, did I?

The CC edition of Shallow Grave has some interesting information in the "about the transfer" section of the booklet.

"This new digital transfer was created on a Arriscan film scanner in 6K>2K resolution workflow from the original 35mm camera negative."

What does 6K>2K resolution mean? (assuming this stands for something besides 6K is greater than 2K) I know previous CC releases have been scanned in one resolution, and color corrected/restored in another. (Bigger than Life was scanned in 4K, and color graded and restored in 2K)

Wouldn't this be the first 6K scan used for a Criterion release?

It's awfully technical but I think the answer may be found here:

Very nice!

Just did a buy 2, get 1 BN.com order for:

Shallow Grave
The Gold Rush
The 39 Steps

Wish they were still $26 each, but $20 each after tax wasn't too bad.

I know it's been going on for a few weeks but, how long is the B2G1 sale going to be for? Anyone know?

I have been kicking and kicking and kicking myself since the (first) price increase. oh well, I'll probably buy it before the end of the decade. Hope the smart people enjoy it.
