What A Disgrace wrote: Sun Oct 15, 2023 2:42 am I don't envy whoever they chose for the commentary. Imagine having to contend with David Kalat.
Imogen Sara Smith, Alan K. Rode, or Tim Lucas? it has to be one of the three, they're such Kino go-tos. but Kalat is king...I really can't see any circumstance where he wouldn't cover every aspect of a particular movie. will be tuning in soon

Yeah, the existing (excellent) FX Feeney and Rosenbaum/Naremore commentaries didn't stop ISS and Lucas from doing new ones on Touch of Evil (albeit on different versions of the film).

Of course, ISS already covered the "twin movie" Woman in the Window.

Kalat is often too digressive for my taste, but as I recall, the Scarlet Street commentary was one that kept my attention.

That is a non-starter for hard-of-hearing people.
I teach a class of over-50 students. I cannot show films that do not have HOH subtitles.
Hopefully the restored version will correct that.

Based on the subtitles KLSC has been commissioning for a lot of their recent titles, look forward to lots of typos and simple mistakes that would be avoided if the person transcribing bothered to even sort of follow along with the film

It’s kinda impressive that we live a world where this and Killer’s Kiss get a 4K before Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut do.

Posted: **Sun Oct 15, 2023 3:35 pm**

I guess, in the same way it’s impressive that kids can figure out how to push adults’ buttons, but the overwhelming feeling is still irritation

Well a Kubrick 4K is still a Kubrick 4K at the very least so there’s that, and it makes more sense than a Boogens 4K at least.

Yeah, that's clearly the logic of the company picking up cheaper Kubricks to put out with guaranteed capital from acolytes picking them up. But you were specifically drawing a conscious contrast of priorities between Kubrick's early output and his later celebrated works, so that drove the response. Now that you're comparing outside of his oeuvre as a reason for being impressed, I'm unsure what your initial point was

Excuse me, my point was simply that I was a bit disappointed that they chose those films to put on 4K but at the same time I get why and that it does make more sense than other films they’ve released. That second post was just me trying to look on the positive side of my initial disappointment of the announcement.

Looking forward to 4K UHDs of Paramount films from the '70s from Kino.

I would triple dip on The Parallax View for sure.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 1:01 am**

More like here come all the movies Imprint released for 3X less the cost

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 1:38 am**

I dont think Paramount does what MGM does with Blu-ray and UHD rights, so not much of a chance that gets a UHD from Kino.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 3:45 pm**

The previously announced forthcoming BD release of Paint Your Wagon will now also be getting a UHD release.

Can't wait to see Lee Marvin be drunk and violent in 4K.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 5:26 pm**

But The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance has been out on UHD for a while now.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 8:07 pm**

Not to mention his home movies. Fact: Lee Marvin was my ex-sister-in-law's babysitter. Or so she claimed. Let your imagination run with that!

It's gonna be super clear in 4K when he points out that missed unpainted spot.

Imagine your babysitter writing an editorial with this title:

So far this is what is revealed from The Insider on the Paramount deal..

- Over 100 titles. Not ready to discuss anymore than that
- Did say Chinatown will probably be released by the studio for it's 50th anniversary
- Hud and Alfie seem likely from a question asked by a member at bluray.com forum

Very disappointing that Criterion has passed on Hud.

Yep. Huge title with a new restoration from Paramount, and they’ve already released work by Martin Ritt

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 3:20 am**

truly what is Criterion even offering us anymore? a fold out leaflet and exclusively archival extras? Kino may not have any written material, but they do add new extras for almost every release at this point. I was at first annoyed Lost in Translation went to Kino but honestly at this point its barely a loss

if anything it's Arrow you should root for to get any Paramount titles in the US. they gave Wyler's The Desperate Hours an incredible release, one of the biggest surprises of the year

They’ve been losing the war to Eureka, Arrow, Indicator, Imprint, and Kino for some time now, which saddens me

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 4:59 am**

It even gets to the point for me of hoping that Criterion do NOT have the remaining Lewtons because WAC have a great in house team that do impeccable encodes all the time in sharp contrast to Pixellogic and, now, the NexSpec guys. As dire as the film is, Arsenic and Old Lace would have been better served by WAC themselves.
