While I'm happy enough sticking to the 1/3000 Limited Blu, it's cool that more people get a shot at owning the older master.

Braktastic · 05-28-2025, 05:53 PM

I just watched the Criterion 4K literally two days ago, so...

Hoping the theatrical cut audio is fixed. It suffered from PAL slowdown pitch issues on the previous blu-ray.

Let's not just hope, but send them messages about it here, even if you know what their customer service is worth nowadays...

Actually the resale value is still high on eBay. I shifted mine (sealed) for £15 + buyer protection fee + postage in like 12 hours. I would’ve priced lower but saw a few recent sales for £20!

that James Caan , he was a real stand up guy. He had a mouth, he could take a trimming..

Am I right in thinking there is no need to keep the old 2 disc Arrow Blu Ray with bonus disc?

Booklet might be different?

I'm too busy staring at Playboy magazines to read. I'll sell the old blu. Thanks mate.

JackyJacquard · 06-01-2025, 03:33 PM

Quite a few of these releases have had identical booklets: Dark Water, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, and The Long Good Friday I’m pretty confident on as I compare the listing on Arrow’s website with the available pdf downloads.

Thief however appears to be getting a bigger booklet (unless those pdfs are only partial, but the presence of the contents pages suggests no):

"Collector's booklet featuring writing on the film by Brad Stevens, new essays by Barry Forshaw and Gillian Kelly, and a new comparison of the different cuts of the film by Stevens"

While the pdf copy of the blu-ray booklet only has Brad Stevens’ essay.

So for booklet heads this one will be an upgrade

StingingVelvet · 06-01-2025, 05:52 PM

Looks like they added and not changed though, making the old release irrelevant on that score.

Is there an Arrow UHD release that had a smaller booklet than the BD had and lost material? I assume Donnie Darko, since it went from a massive hardcover book to a more normal one. I only own the (CE version) BD though, and put the basic UHD inside it, so I can't tell.

Got the latest Criterion but will double-dip on this 4K Arrow Edition "tout de suite".

VIDEOgameDROME · 06-08-2025, 12:34 AM

I'm watching the Criterion right now and I'm hoping they fix the issue with the dialogue being too quiet (or just the whole 5.1 track) I had to turn it up an extra 3.5dB to hear some of the dialogue. I've got my eye on the limited edition once it goes on sale though.

LeSamourai. · 06-30-2025, 10:44 AM

I'd love to have this but may wait for the standard edition because I want to keep the previous release, which already has the second disc with the theatrical cut. This way, I'll also save space as I am happy without the booklet and the like.

iMusic is saying this will get released September 5th, but I assume that's their mistake? As Rarewaves still says August 25.
