Because I've been holding out on Kino releases until they got their act together and stopped being rude to their customers, but there are plenty of releases from them I want to get.

I’m guessing Night Gallery is one of them

And I was correct

Wow. Nice how they got commentaries for multiple episodes. Fingers crossed they get John Badham (who has recorded great ones for multiple films of his that KL has released) for Season 2.

I still hope they eventually license Universal's Amazing Stories, which curiously never even had its second season get a DVD release.

Both weekend announcements are upcoming 4KUHD releases. Saturday a 2000s Universal one and Sunday, a late 1950s MGM one.

Also, we've added the 4KUHD rights to one of our 1970s films from the second Universal deal, already released by us on Blu-ray and a yet to be announced 1990s film from the third Universal deal.

Coming to DVD and Blu-ray August 31st from Kino Classics and StudioCanal!

Love Rites (Cérémonie d'amour, 1987)
Directed by Walerian Borowczyk
Starring Marina Pierro and Mathieu Carrière

Love Rites (Cérémonie d’amour) is cult director Walerian Borowczyk’s (The Beast) subversively erotic final feature. He returns with a vengeance to a signature theme—emasculation. Vain clothing buyer Hugo (Mathieu Carrière) meets beautiful Myriam (Marina Pierro) on the subway and pursues her, discovering to his delight that she’s a prostitute. The crafty Myriam, of course, has more in mind for their encounter than smug Hugo bargained for. Love Rites turns the sexual tables with perverse exactitude.

Special Features:
*Shorter Director's Cut of the Feature (93 minutes, Blu-ray only)
*Brief von Paris (1976, short film by Walerian Borowczyk)
*Audio commentary by film historian Daniel Bird
*New interview with Mathieu Carrière
*Optional English subtitles
*Trailer

I wonder if MGM did the right thing and offered them the UHD rights first or, most likely, did they license it to Kino without letting Criterion have a chance to get them? (I have the same question about Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. Scream did the 4K, did MGM give them a chance to get the UHD rights first or not?)

The Criterion leaflet stated it was a collaboration between Criterion, MGM, and Park Circus. In regards to Body Snatchers Scream's was a 2K scan from the IP and Kino's is a 4K scan from the negative.

It wouldn't matter as UHD rights are separate licenses like how Blu and DVD rights are.
