The Complete Kubrick

[Finch]

Their communication on this set and the individual releases is pissing me off. If I recall correctly, when the set was announced, there was a one off mention that Lolita would get a standalone release but nothing about the rest. A week ago, with the set hitting soon, they said there'll be standalones of some of the other films but no mention of which ones and when. I was on board with the set because they seemed to imply initially that it was just Lolita for a separate standalone release and the set was getting restored original audio tracks. And now it turns out the only ones that got a new grade were Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut. The encode is appreciably better on A Clockwork Orange but I don't care about that film. If they weren't allowed regrades on the other films, that's on Warner but still doesn't make this development less disappointing. As it stands, I'm not splurging on this thing even at half price and wait for confirmation what gets released individually next year. Hoping for The Killing, The Shining, 2001 and Full Metal Jacket. Paths of Glory if I can't rebuy the MoC UHD.

The million dollar question is which future standalone release, if any, will include A Life in Pictures?

It would have made sense to include it on the Eyes Wide Shut release, but oh well…

It appears to only be included on the bonus disc in the set so I wouldn't put too much hope on it appearing outside of the boxset. Standalones will more than likely repeat the film specific discs from the box.
