I've seen Universum's blu-ray. Noise (grain? (

)) aficianodos may be disappointed, if Paramount releases something similar.

added: The blu-ray looks much better than the DVD, which seemed awful flat looking to me.

Hollywood Reporter's story is Paramount Wins 'La Dolce Vita' Lawsuit.

Great news! Almost imported the Japan Blu-ray.

For anyone interested in Shoah and doesn't feel like waiting until the B&N sale, ImportCDs has it for $58.xx with their 10% off sale and it's shipping right now. My copy, along with Gold Rush, shipped this morning.

i consider buying the bluray of "late spring".. now i wonder if the Criterion release or the BFI release is the better one.

it looks like the BFI release has a second movie (probably only DVD)

Picking up Revanche, White Material, Les cousins, and Au revoir les enfants this weekend, and probably four more titles in a couple weeks.

Where in Canada is this guy? I'm in Toronto.

EDIT:

I keep reading about people getting upset, and even returning various titles they received from Amazon/Best-Buy because they're missing the round blue sticker.

Done with the internet tonight....... goodnight.

If only people knew how many blue stickers I've thrown out...

That would make sense. It has been a long time since it was hinted at.

In my case, all of them.

Yeah, I don't see the need to keep them or complain about them either. Having said that, when I received a movie from Amazon that had clearly been resealed, I did send them an email. Not because the sticker was missing, but because it wasn't a new copy

I believe my copy of Ride with the Devil was resealed. I didn't complain because the disc was in perfect shape.

So is this happening a lot during this sale? I have heard a few accounts of it, but wondering if it is widespread.

PowellPressburger · 06-14-2013, 04:09 PM

I take it new releases will be announced today? I checked my twitter no mention but I don't facebook in case they posted anything there?

deepbreathsanddeath · 06-14-2013, 04:15 PM

I get sent reseated copies more often than not lol. With amazon, they're basically always perfect. Barnes and Noble... A nightmare. If you live in the states, go in to get them. I ordered a shit load of Criterions last year during a sale and half of them arrived with cracked cases and one disc was faulty. Can't wait to hear Criterions next announcement.

It didn't happen with the latest batch for me. It happened to me last summer.

Doubtful. I think what confuses some is that they are not all sealed the same way even fresh from their factories. There seems to be two types used, the ones that are sealed with shrinkwrap and have a tendency to melt the cases a little when the heat is applied to shrink the wrap is probably what some mistakenly think are re-sealed. Perhaps combined with how easily those blue stickers come off...

And what confuses the issue a bit more is that lately some of the blu-ray artwork inserts look like monkeys were being used to put them inside their cases, all crinkley wrinkley creased bent folded spindled mutilated. It makes some of them look like they've been to hell and back before being re-sealed, when in reality they too are coming out of the factories that way in the first place. (My biggest Criterion packaging pet peeve as of late.)

And then there are some that probably were re-sealed.

starman15317 · 06-14-2013, 04:47 PM

Are people really returning their Blu-Rays because there's no sticker on the wrapping? Wow. Just wow.

Mansinthe · 06-14-2013, 04:53 PM

steelbook junkies are even more crazy about stuff like that..

The Bronx Bull · 06-14-2013, 04:55 PM

I was just browsing Facebook, and I saw that Criterion reposted an article written by a user on their site; "The Exisential Hitman" it's called, and it refers to Jef Costello in Le Samourai.

Is it possible that Le Samourai is slated for an announcement just days away?
