Thanks for the info/correction. This is the first time I've seen this, obviously, and first year I've really gotten this excited about Criterion. Before the last year or so, I only had Chasing Amy and [/b]Life Aquatic[/b] Criterions.

ooo Maybe I should hold off on hunting the DVD version of Nights of Cabiria....

I love the mention of Coen Bros. and Zeitgeist and how Criterion can't get a hold of their films.

What do you mean, did they mention anything?

Just that they would like to get it back, but it is up to licensing possibilities.

They're working on Lynch's short films.

And more Cronenberg.

[Snicket]

I'm mad at the people in the audience, this is the ONE TIME Criterion is candidly asking questions, ask them about more titles dammit!

Man, I should be at this event. Columbus is only 3 hours from me. I can represent the blu-ray.com Criterion thread. Ha ha.

Oops, went off the air...I guess its over.

I checked my disc on a PS3 and my Dynex player, both showed the same issues. Going to have to e-mail Mulvaney about this. Just thought I'd warn everyone!

p.s. tomorrow is Criterion Q+A at the Wexler Center where they will be answering questions about upcoming releases and what not. If yr in the Columbus area, tickets are real cheap. Should be an interesting day.

Same problem here. Very disappointing. I was really into the film so I had to find alternate means to finish it that night.

Sadly i don't remember any case where Criterion ever regained the rights of one of their OOP titles so if this was asked by the audience it really doesn't give much hope.

[Oblivion138]

So that was pretty great. Lots of info and teases up upcoming titles, as well as titles that they hope or plan to release when they're able.

in two versions, which I'm guessing refers to Red River.

Does Wexner archive? missed part of this and would like to watch the whole thing.

Specifically, two versions of a Howard Hawks film...Big Sleep?

No, it's obviously Red River.

The stream went dark. Is it over?

Salo was regained.
