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.

And now they're all gone. I suspect they're not all intended for September.

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.

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

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.

(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'.)

I love that Zatoichi set! I don't mind the repetitive narratives at all, though.

A shame that their not replicating the Notorious cover art from their original DVD release, as I've always loved that one:

I do love that cover (I have the original), but the new cover is p cool imo. Hope that 24 Frames is a sign of more Kiarostami releases & upgrades.
