They posted a bit about the process of making the cover. Interesting stuff and this definitely sold me on it.

good read. thought about picking up fantastic planet as well.

never could find a download with the subtitles

Not excited in the least about this cash grab, to be honest.

Criterion and Eureka put out a lot of the same stuff and they both make great products. Why is one for babbys and the other for adults?

>>71532977
I agree, but a lot of their blus haven't been on the format before. No need to get worked up over this. Just buy the ones you want and don't worry about the ones you don't.
>>
>>71532986
I hate Pretentious Brand so much. I only buy from Even More Pretentious Brand. Aren't I great? Isn't everyone else stupid?
>>
>>71533054
They have to release popular movies once in a while because people won't buy the obscure ones they haven't heard of. And Fear & Loathing hasn't been popular since the 90's, teenagers today hate it.
>>
>>71533024
The collection is huge and has such a wide variety of films. I disagree that they put out lots of bad movies. I find it hard to believe that they don't put out any movies you like. Which is why I think it's dumb to write off the whole company and all their releases.
>>
>>71533202
Criterion released it on DVD in 2003 and on BD in 2011.
>>
I'm hyped for the dekalog set
>>
>>71533249
I wasn't the person you were originally replying to. They have put out movies I like but many more I have no interest in, just like any other label. It is the cult around a home video company and this notion that they only release top-tier films that sickens me and is worthy of ridicule.
>>
criterion merc'd shit this year, unbelievable releases
and fuck I just saw they got blood simple
>>
>>71533054
Teens aren't even buying phsyical media and that movie was released when today's teens were babies or not born. Also, why does it matter who buys them? How does it effect you at all? What's the problem?
>>
>>71533347
I'm not the anon who said the people who buy their releases are teenagers, but Fear and Loathing being their top seller, along with Wes Anderson films, would seem to support that. And everyone knows teenagers have no taste.
>>
I'm excited and so are my dubs
>>
>>71533341
"Sickens you"? Calm down. They just put out movies. I don't think this "cult" hurts you in any way.

Why worry about who is buying them? Why does it matter?
>>
>>71533607
They are just on the shrink wrap, not on the actual artwork.
>>
>>71533440
I am calm. I know they just put out movies, and that's what they should be treated as: another home video company. Why is there a whole forum devoted to them and there are people who buy everything they release, sight unseen? Do we see such devotion for Warner Home Video or Olive?


Also, I'm pretty sure the cult put something in my dog's food to make it stop loving me.
>>
>>71533684
It matters because they make decisions about which movies to release based on whether they know there will be a market for them or not and act accordingly.
>>
>>71530093
I dare you to show this bullshit to /gd/
>>
>>71533887
I get that they have some devoted fans. I still don't understand why you take offence to this. No we don't see the same level of fandom for those companies, but they aren't quite on the same level as Criterion, Arrow etc.
>>
>>71533974
I don't agree with your assumtion that teens are their main market, because I don't think many teens are buying phsyical media. I also don't see how the titles they release support your theory at all.
>>
they should release Come and See already

Why would you actually pay money for Salo? I'd pay to make me forget that shit exists.

I have Fantastic Planet. The movie itself is great and it's nice to finally have profeesionally done subtitles, but the booklet is pretty barebones and I can't speak for the other supplements because I haven't checked them out yet. Overall, I'd say of you are a fan of the film it's worth it, but maybe not as much if it's a blind buy.

How does the film look? I remember hearing about how blue tinged it is.

Honestly without shots from the pre-restoration to compare to it actually wasn't too bad. Some of the night time outdoors shots are noticbly blue, but it didn't bother me much. I could post a screenshot if you wanted?

This film already has widely available blu-ray editions, without the inflated price. Why the fuck would I buy this?
>>
>>71533887
>Why is there a whole forum devoted to them and there are people who buy everything they release, sight unseen?
The forum talks about Olive, Warner, and lots of other boutique labels as well. Criterion is just the dominant label and it's a good one to rally around as a community if you don't want a forum filled with idiots posting about their new capeshit steelbook.

You mean the "sale" they have every couple weeks to make people think that they're getting a good deal by buying blu-rays at the normal rate instead of double like they usually charge? I love those sales.
>>
>>71533511
Or The Apu Trilogy, or A Touch of Zen, or McCabe and Mrs Miller, or Chimes at Midnight, or the Wim Wenders trilogy, or all 3 cuts of The New World, or Barcelona's first real home video release, or etc

Criterion has had a banner year so far in 2016, after 2015 was largely shit
