Yes, I've had it since the 2nd. The new 4K master looks incredible, one of my favorite CC blu-rays so far this year.

I'm not sure what it says about me as a movie fan that I'm having trouble deciding between my Blu-rays of Flash Gordon, Dune, or The Seventh Seal.

Any words of advice before delving into Marienbad for the first time?

RandyK · 04-10-2013, 07:27 PM

Anybody ever have a problem with a Criterion case being too small? My copy of Naked Lunch arrived and it looks like the plastic covering on the case was sealed too far inward so when the artwork is inserted, the art is bowed and wavy all over. Is it skinless to get a new case from Criterion?

brandon_260 · 04-10-2013, 07:29 PM

With the film coming out May 17th, when do you think we'll see Criterion's release of Frances Ha? I'd love to have it before the end of the year, if that's possible. It would be great if Criterion announced their release the 15th of May, just before it hits limited release.

I wouldn't mind seeing an upgrade of Kicking and Screaming to coincide with Frances Ha.

Don't try to understand it, let it wash over you.

Go in with an open, active mind. If you're willing to play the game Marienbad is infinitely rewarding.

Yesterday I received Gate Of Hell, can't wait to see it this weekend.

Watched it recently, what a great film.

I ordered mine a few days before you, and I've still not received a confirmation.

Thanks!

Now I've got to pop these in.

Just roll with it the first time around, and do not try to figure out the plot.

This advice also applies to every subsequent viewing!

Am I the only one who hates the Gate Of Hell cover and spine and everything?

I watched it a few weeks ago and found it to be a fun little film.

Our opinions could not be any more different, Matti. But I don't want to ask you to explain in detail what is so mediocre about it. As far as Mleville's film is concerned, it is one of his most vulnerable and inconsistent, and Lino Ventura is definitely not at his best in it.

Is it available in the US or just the UK?

You could pick up the UK release, iScottie. Click on the cover I posted there.

I was wondering why pictures of Monica Bellucci always showed up whenever I looked up Le Deuxième Souffle on Google. This explains it.

This would be the reason

And you are welcome.

You might be. Art is subjective also.

octagon · 04-10-2013, 09:21 PM

I love 3 Days of the Condor. To me Sydney Pollack is one of those guys who's always knocking on the door of being great without quite getting there and Condor is probably my favorite Pollack film.

It looks great (if like me you think gritty, grimy, grainy 70s New York looks great), it's a competently written story very competently told and the cast is fantastic.

And you can buy it cheap now that WB is distributing older Paramount releases.

The trial pitting Paramount against International Media Films over which party owns the copyright of La Dolce Vita has been pushed back to September 2013. If that's ever settled, I would expect to see a blu-ray soon -- why try to assert ownership if you're not going to profit from it?

Looks like B&N fulfilled some orders today on the recently OOP Studio Canal titles.

I figured I better take a shot on the ones I don't have now before it's too late - Last Year at Marienbad, Army of Shadows, and Leon Morin.

Now should I cancel my still-pending Amazon order or just see if it goes through?
