Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Going by the recent hint, we might see a title announced today that begins with a 'B'.

The most anticipated upgrade hint?

I suppose Spartacus or Do the Right Thing are also candidates for much requested upgrades--and Spartacus was on the list they posted in the summer of 2011

I see it being between Brazil, Spartacus and Le Samourai.

My money's on Le Samourai, or at least my heart is.

A lovely port of the French Blu.

Isn't the holy grail of blu upgrades Andrei Rublev....

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
The amount of work going into prepping that release would result in a lot of fanfare and a theatrical tour for a year before any blu, I would think. So once they announce a 4k Rublev theatrical premiere add a year to that to find the bluray date.jwd5275 wrote:Isn't the holy grail of blu upgrades Andrei Rublev....

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
My late predictions hold that this year Criterion will buck their historic minimal December output by releasing:
On the Waterfront
Y tu Mama Tambien
The Following
Things to Come
Brazil blu
Grey Gardens blu
No Eclipse

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
The Brazil Criterion page says it has "A new, high definition transfer", does this necessarily mean that a bluray is iminent, or do they say high definition transfers for DVDs as well?

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Almost all the pages for Criterion's back catalogue already say that.

"High definition" has been appearing on the back of Criterion DVDs as far back as 2005, if not farther.

Hmm. It was a 1999 release though, and if I remember correctly, a non-anamorphic one...med wrote:"High definition" has been appearing on the back of Criterion DVDs as far back as 2005, if not farther.

The original release was non-anamorphic. They updated the transfer and re-released the box and issued a new single-disc edition in 2006.bamwc2 wrote:Hmm.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
That's right. I forgot. It's one of my least favorite films in the collection (just not a Gilliam fan, I'm afraid), so I completely blanked on that after not picking it up.Matt wrote:The original release was non-anamorphic.

Twitter sez "We’ll be announcing our new release for December shortly. Sit tight!" Release? Singular? Betta be a typo.

I can't imagine a one-release month unless they have a big surprise box set in the works.

Could be like last December, multiple Blu-ray upgrades and one new title.
Scratch that, no reason to worry, Critetion just tweeted "We’ll be announcing our new releases for December shortly. Sit tight!"

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was Brazil only. If they did new high-def transfers of both versions and the doc, that's like doing three normal films.Matt wrote:Twitter sez "We’ll be announcing our new release for December shortly. Sit tight!" Release? Singular? Betta be a typo.

Stop dicking around on Twitter and post 'em already. I want to go home, eat a cookie, and have a nap.

And here I thought I was the only one who was finding things to do to keep busy at work so that I could see the announcements before I left.Matt wrote:Stop dicking around on Twitter and post 'em already. I want to go home, eat a cookie, and have a nap.
