I'm fairly certain that it wasn't a 4K restoration for the 30th anniversary, and that it was a DCP from the existing digital print (ie - the blu ray). I don't think it's out of the question that they would release it if it ever came about, though. I certainly wouldn't balk at a signed blu-sticker Criterion edition.

Has it been restored? I hadn't heard that. But the current Blu Ray looks great, probably as good as it ever will look, and has the found footage as extras.

I'm not paying for a sticker.

I miss this theme song.

I miss it too. And this made my day.

Shucks. I'll try to act more surprised next time.

I'm sure Criterion *would* release it, but I can't imagine they'd ever get the license. Since David Lynch doesn't like extras, and the movie already has a bunch of extras, I don't think there would be anything new to add either, so it doesn't seem like something that needs Criterion, or that Criterion needs.

and to be honest that material girl box set, probably would have been a day one purchase for me if it was really coming out :P

No, it's not the worst James Bond film in the whole franchise, but that's not from lack of trying. As bad as it is, it's more watchable than (in descending order) View to a Kill, Octopussy, and The Man with the Golden Gun, if for no other reason than Rosamund Pike. And I don't mean that because of her looks.

I had to dig up my review from when I watched it about a year ago:

"It's as though the term hoity-toity found auditory and visual form. This jumbled mess of slapdash montage sequences is a chore to watch. All the eyerolls ever given to the "art film" over the years are unquestionably justified by this self-indulgent time waster. 2/10"

Diamonds Are Forever and Octopussy say hi.

I would love to see Robocop get an upgrade from Criterion. I got on ebay the original CC releases of that, Silence of the Lambs and The Rock.

It's just dawned on me that our thread has the most posts out of any thread on the website.

Feeling pretty proud, to be quite honest.

It only took nearly 900 releases.

Then again, there's the whole issue of quantity vs quality

This thread would be twice as long if not for all the deleted posts over the years. We've had lots of long time posters leave and take their posts with them.

To be fair half the posts are just GIFs by me and Ray....

I'm sure the cats at the Movie Title Game thread feel just as proud to be number 2.
