NovaMedia is coming out with their own Wong Kar Wai set but in 4K/UHD. Criterion is getting left behind in the dust yet again. This is like the 6th time this has happened lately

Melvin Van Peebles boxset coming, that's gonna be good.

I bought a lot of Criterion stuff during both B&N sales last year, still getting surprised by greatness. The Agnes Varda boxset has some amazing stuff. Some of those movies got such great restorations they look better than a lot of modern stuff (Techincolor was a great thing). Also, all the Mizoguchi stuff Criterion's put out is wonderful, especially The Story of Late Chrysanthemum.

Uncut Gems in November...really

Every recent film added isn't a sin because some of them (Irishman, Marriage Story, etc) don't have physical releases otherwise.

But films like Uncut Gems which are readily available in bluray already? Meh.

Fantastic movie but come on.

 

[Red Shield]

Thought Beasts of No Nation had a bluray release already

 

[Nero Christ]

definitely copping BONN...Netflix or whomever fukked up not giving us some sort of release before

Bumping this 'cause this thread should always be on the first page. I went light on the Barnes & Noble sale in July, only picked up Flowers of Shanghai (they are FINALLY putting out Hou Hsiao-Hsien films) and Mirror.

The extras for Mirror are great. If you like Tarkovsky, you need this release.

edit: And goddamn right I know who I quoted. See, we have common ground.

A, you took offense over my words in the other thread. I was just defending my ground. Our convo was peaceful until you took it beyond. I ain’t trying to go on a war of words when I was upfront about everything. There was no agenda in the first place.
