I'm still waiting for that Picnic reissue

Posted: **Thu Jun 01, 2006 12:47 am**

I would love a kurosawa boxset with its own spine and every kurosawa release so far, with the new remasters, and the dvds each sealed inside, so that anything I have already, I can sell to you lot. or new uniform artwork, kagemusha and ran style, and I'd just sell wat I have already. would make a great christmas gift.

I dunno, I think every Kurosawa title would be a bit much for a single box set (imagine how expensive it would be). I think a Bunuel or Fellini box set is probably a reasonable thing to hope for, though.

Forget Fellini and Kurosawa, I would love a Melville box set.

Forget box sets, I just hope they release the titles. Among others, I'm still hoping that Criterion releases the final ten Bunuel films... I think they own them all save for Belle de jour.

Well. let's hope that some kind of Mexican Bunuel box is in the works.

Posted: **Thu Jun 01, 2006 8:48 pm**

Containing:

Nazarin
The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz
The Exterminating Angel
El
The Young One

Exactly. I can't get to excited about re-releases even if they are improved, but I will snatch up any Bunuel that they release. If we get Viridiana, a boxed set of NEW material and the Jodoroswky films all in '06 then it will be my personal best Criterion year ever.

I wish there were hopes for a revisit to The Seventh Seal

if anyone's getting a boxed set next, it's gotta be Godard. maybe even a set of his late 70s/80s period material.

Posted: **Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:41 pm**

Lets get Breathless and Pierrot le fou, Two or Three Things I Know About Her first.

I love Kino, too, based on their theatrical approach. I ran the Austin Film Society back in the 90s, and they were the ONLY distibutor who would freely and happily refer me to other distribution houses for options when I was curating a series. They were also the only ones to warn me off their own releases if the print quality was lacking. That's why I don't bad mouth them on their poor dvd releases because I can only assume it's due to a lack of resources (I dont know this for sure, as I haven't dealt with them since 1998).

New Yorker was the complete opposite. They would actually lie about the quality of their prints. There were a couple of occasions where I granted full refunds to my audience because a New Yorker print was so bad, and New Yorker would then refuse to discount the rental fee because of this. I remember Weekend in particular, when blood ran pink. The audience began catcalling "Godard is a fag!" whenever blood was shown. Great times.

If I remember correctly, the blood is pink in Weekend, though.

The blood is red in all the video versions I've seen, but it's still obviously fake. I saw a theatrical print once, but the color was so bad (the entire film had a pink tint) that it wouldn't prove anything.

Don't be naïve. They'll just find something new to bitch about now. My guess:
â€œWhy is Criterion wasting their time with all these stooopid re-issues when they should be doin' more fuckin' Ozu?!!?â€

Fuck Salo, I'd much rather get a deluxe treatment of Seven Samurai. Which I am.

How could you be so selfish? Criterion needs your money, too.

For shame, sir!
