I hope we get more outtakes; I'd love to hear Lynch laughing during the "ritual" filming.

Whoa, completely forgot it was the 15th today. I've only seen House of Games from those announced, and I really didn't like it, and don't get what's great about it. I think I'd like Blue Velvet, but I may get the non-CC release first since it's pretty cheap.

I wonder what other Wyler films might be released.

Now that’s a month. Funny Games and Blue Velvet have been on my list for years.

Now do the right thing, Criterion. Give me Come and See in June.

[Cremildo]

I hadn't seen a line-up this strong since forever. I thought Criterion wouldn't be able to top Kino's announcements, but they gave them a run for their money.

The Heiress and House of Games are definite buys for me; the Lynch is a maybe (I own the "old" BD), and I'll buy the Denis and the Varda if they're significantly superior to their much cheaper UK counterparts. Love Haneke to death, but Funny Games is not my cup of tea.

Hopefully, they will be Roman Holiday, Wuthering Heights, and the 1940 version of The Letter

[format916]

it would be so cool if they put both funny games in one package.

The specs don’t mention the remake being included.

[DaBargainHunta]

House of Games and The Heiress are both very exciting additions for me.

[CQD84]

Blue Velvet, Funny Games, The Heiress, and One Sings, The Other Doesn't for me.

I want Blue Velvet so bad but it's a single disc yet again; will Criterion's compression nonsense bungle it up? I hope not! That said, we're finally getting the original audio. Revisited being included is absolutely incredible but it really could have used its own disc for Criterion's sake.

Who's got the rights to Dodsworth? I regret letting the American DVD go OOP.

For what it’s worth, despite being a holdover master from the DVD era, the MGM disc still looks good.

I saw BLUE VELVET REVISITED at the London Film Festival and it's great with a distinctive style all its own; and feature length too. Makes it a definite upgrade for me even without the 4k transfer.

Yeah. A 2 hour movie, a 90 minute documentary, 50 minutes of deleted scenes, and another documentary at 70 minutes? Damn. Only David M could pull off a miracle like that. Guess we’ll get a bitstarved disc. Love the extras, but I agree it should’ve been 2 discs.

Disc 1 would’ve had the movie and deleted scenes (plus trailers). And disc 2 would have the documenataries. That way it would be good.

I won't be surprised if Arrow picked it up for the UK. If they have that's probably how their release would be laid out and not to mention David M magic.

The original doc and deleted scenes should be in standard def so that shouldn’t matter too much. And if they do add more extras like the specs suggest they might opt for 2 discs.

The deleted scenes were in HD on the original Blu.
