Extended???!!??

Can we get a 90 minute cut please
There's supposedly a 5-hour ToL cut. My opinion is that this would violate the Geneva Convention, but then what do I know?

HCW (Lubitsch) hasn't been remade, I don't think. The Warren Beatty film was a remake of Here Comes Mr Jordan.

Yes indeed

Welles finished it in between takes of The Other Side of the Wind. :)

a lot of people seem pretty sure that After Hours is coming in September too.
― flappy bird, Friday, 15 June 2018 17:20 (six years ago) link
And now they're all gone. I suspect they're not all intended for September.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Friday, 15 June 2018 19:10 (six years ago) link
SEPTEMBER: A Raisin In The Sun; Cold Water; and upgrades of My Man Godfrey, Andrei Rublev; and Scenes From A Marriage.

Thanks for the reminder. Picked up Marketa Lazarova and Chimes at Midnight, the later evidently sourced from a pristine print discovered by Steven Morowitz recently.

An awful lot of mainstream '80s starting to creep into the CC this year.

Patience, young Flappy. At least you're not my buddy who's waiting years on The Tenant, or anyone else holding out for the Eisenstien Silent box (which the ducks are allegedly finally getting in a row for the CC to do).

I know I know actually what I wanted to ask was why SLIH and not The Apartment
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 22:30 (five years ago) link
The Welles alone, but then also the Mizoguchi on top of that? A no complaint month.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 22:30 (five years ago) link
XP Arrow did a loaded Blu of The Apartment a couple years ago. Not sure if it's still in print (there was limited 1st edition w/a coffee table book with a book less version to follow).
― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 16 August 2018 03:40 (five years ago) link
Landing SLIH is pretty big. Never thought MGM would let that go.
― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 16 August 2018 03:42 (five years ago) link
now that you mention it I've seen that edition, pretty sure it's still in print. and yeah it is amazing they got SLIH, afaik that was never rumored / intuited from the doodle.

Perhaps I should start a different thread for other boutique home video distribution companies, but I thought y'all might be interested to know that there's a big Kino sale going on atm, with tons of stuff marked under $10: https://www.kinolorber.com/list/view/code/aug18sale
― Bruise Harmsby and the Rage (Old Lunch), Monday, 20 August 2018 13:22 (five years ago) link
(Couldn't pull it together to take advantage of the last several Criterion sales, but you better believe I just shelled out some bucks for a haul of b-grade '50s sci-fi and '80s Cannon 'classics'.)

the 25 film Zatoichi set is due out in the uk in november, for £150. i am tempted.
― koogs, Monday, 17 September 2018 20:51 (five years ago) link
I love that Zatoichi set! I don't mind the repetitive narratives at all, though.
