Ugh, I have an unopened box of that.

FrauBlucher · #1027 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 8:48 pm

Rebecca is up (new cover) as well.

It wasn't a direct quote from him, but here is the passage I mentioned (it is from The Raygun Newsletter):

...
He also expanded on the increasing selection, noting that deals with the likes of MGM and Warner would see titles coming to the UK. A notable example will come later in the year with the release of the Monterey Pop Festival concert across both territories.

One of the worst Criterion months in history for my tastes, saved thankfully by Rebecca!

Surely A Man and a Woman for LeLouch

mteller · #1032 Post by **mteller** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 6:55 pm

Looks like an Olympics package. Reissue of Tokyo Olympiad including Visions of Eight and others?

Lelouch is one of the directors on Visions of Eight

It would be a smart move right before the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

There were more listed but I had to leave the computer and on Iphone now which is not ideal to post the phantom pages.

Dylan · #1036 Post by **Dylan** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 7:05 pm

It would be wonderful if the listing for Arthur Penn was for The Miracle Worker. I think that film is a masterpiece and its needed an upgrade for a very long time.

Which is in print from Olive.

This has to be for a FilmStruck series on Olympic-related films; although it's heartening that Tokyo Olympiad is covered by some of these names. Maybe that is coming back into print like so many other titles.

Was wondering why Leni Riefenstahl wasn't included with these names; but then I remembered she got a phantom page ages ago.

Definitely a misspelling...they'll need to drop the third "s".

Unless it's for Midniight Cowboy.

knives · #1042 Post by **knives** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 8:53 pm

He's already in the collection.

Ribs · #1043 Post by **Ribs** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 9:05 pm

I just felt obligated to comment, it's pretty obviously just for the Olympics link. Remains to be seen if this is just some super-theme on Filmstruck or a sizable release for the holidays.

The Winter Olympics begins February 8th 2018 in South Korea. Could be timed for that.

One more: Jules Perel

Presumably this guy?

dwk · #1047 Post by **dwk** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:14 pm

George A. Romero

FrauBlucher · #1048 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:17 pm

Well, I guess Night of the Living Dead has been answered. Chaching!!!!

Oh how I wish this was for a box set of the dead trilogy. Anchor Bay's fantastic Dawn of the Dead ULTIMATE EDITION never got an HD upgrade. And Arrow's blu is OOP and pricey as hell. Sadly, the rightsholder apparently commissioned a pricey 3D conversion, and thus is charging insane amounts to license the film. So it looks like we'll be stuck with just Night of the Living Dead, arguably the weakest of the three. But still good, and an important film.

FrauBlucher · #1050 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:33 pm

It will be a huge release for Criterion. There will be hordes of people buying this that never heard of the Criterion Collection.
