That clip just made me fall in love with Barry Jenkins a bit.

Cover design mock ups for Stalker, Straw Dogs & Lost in America

Has anyone with Filmstruck watched Stalker yet? I'm assuming it's the restored version and they just haven't announced the disc
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 20:48 (seven years ago) link
I watched it. Thought it looked great, but had never tried watching it pre-restoration on archive.org or whatever.

if it looks at all passable then it's a restoration, because... no other copy looks anywhere near decent
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:02 (seven years ago) link
I had the RUSCICO DVD from quite awhile ago and, yes, barely passable.

The Lodger (w/Downhill)
Does that make then the first of the "Hitchcock 9" silent restorations to come out on disc since the theatrical release? I was sure there'd be an all-inclusive box or something...
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 21:12 (seven years ago) link
Kudos to Criterion on announcing Ugetsu two weeks after I inquired ITT. I had no idea they could crank out a remaster that quickly or that they were so responsive to individual fans on obscure message boards!
― Milkwalker's World (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 23:21 (seven years ago) link
XP IIRC, there are different licensors on those silent Hitchcock's, which prevents a box containing all of them.
― to fly across the city and find Aerosmith's car (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 16 March 2017 04:18 (seven years ago) link
Hmmm. Filmstruck added The Lodger a couple of months ago and then pulled it within a couple of days.

I did, Morbz, I did. My thanks to Criterion for upgrading at my request was a joke but my thanks to you for the heads up are sincere.

OCTOBER: Personal Shopper; Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me; Barry Lyndon; The Lure; and Vampyr on Blu.
― to fly across the city and find Aerosmith's car (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 17 July 2017 22:21 (six years ago) link
Vampyr BR is exciting! There have been rumors floating about FWWM for a while, and I'm not sure I understand why it's happening. The version in the Twin Peaks set is about as definitive as it gets. But I'll take more definitive if Lynch has it to give.
― Dippin' Sauce on my Nice New Slacks (Old Lunch), Monday, 17 July 2017 23:11 (six years ago) link
Kubrick fandom is way overblown and sometimes gross but Barry Lyndon on criterion intrigues me
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 23:21 (six years ago) link
Sort of bummed the Night of the Living Dead rumors didn't come to fruition in October, but that's a monster slate.
― Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 12:18 (six years ago) link
both FWWM and Lyndon have ace transfers already (whice i've purchased) so i'm less than thrilled about this announcement. the BL blu-ray was light on special features iirc, so i guess there's that.
― circa1916, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 12:28 (six years ago) link
I didn't have the FWWM b/c I had the not-quite-complete Twin Peaks on DVD. And, yes, any bonus features at all on one of the greatest movies of all time would be nice.
― Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 12:34 (six years ago) link
was curious to see The Lure when it was out; that's a fast transition from theater to criterion!

Now that it's clear that Night of the Living Dead's going to be in the collection, I'm getting impatient.
― Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link
That said, October's going to be a three-title month for me, so I'm fine with a zero-title November.
You forgot to mention the 32-disc box set 100 Years of Olympic Films:https://s3.amazonaws.com/criterion-production/stills/132442-6056f9217f1687b51e28b2fbadb098af/Olympics_Product_Horizontal_logo_doublesize_original.jpg
Spanning fifty-three movies and forty-one editions of the Olympic Summer and Winter Games, this one-of-a-kind collection assembles, for the first time, a century’s worth of Olympic films—the culmination of a monumental, award-winning archival project encompassing dozens of new restorations by the International Olympic Committee. These documentaries cast a cinematic eye on some of the most iconic moments in the history of modern sports, spotlighting athletes who embody the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger”: Jesse Owens shattering sprinting world records on the track in 1936 Berlin, Jean Claude-Killy dominating the slopes of Grenoble in 1968, Joan Benoit breaking away to win the first-ever women’s marathon on the streets of Los Angeles in 1984. In addition to the work of Bud Greenspan, the man behind an impressive ten Olympic features, this stirring collective chronicle of triumph and defeat includes such landmarks of the documentary form as Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia and Kon Ichikawa’s Tokyo Olympiad, along with lesser-known but captivating contributions by major directors like Claude Lelouch, Carlos Saura, and Miloš Forman. It also serves as a fascinating window onto the formal development of cinema itself, as well as the technological progress that has enabled the viewer, over the years, to get ever closer to the action. Traversing continents and decades, and reflecting as well the social, cultural, and political changes that have shaped our recent history, this remarkable marathon of films offers nothing less than a panorama of a hundred years of human endeavor.
