Is this worse than when that Lena Dunham movie got a Criterion release?
https://www.criterion.com/films/28820-boyhood
>>72028600
>almost universally acclaimed as one of the best movies of the decade, if not the century
yeah OP, what a travesty
it's always nice when Criterion recognizes the greatness in certain contemporary films that enables them to join the label within a couple years of their release
>>72028600
Maybe it will make them some money so they can release unpopular stuff I'm interested in.
>>72028600
wow that chick really had ugly duckling syndrome
>>72028600
it's almost as if (making retard noises)
>>72029178
Too bad Boyhood really isn't great contemporary film!
When is the before trilogy (haha yeah right he wont stop making them) coming out?
>>72028600

Absolute piss
>>72029227
I think its decent. i get why people dont like it though
>>72028600
TWELVE
>>72029266
>>has no Refn
>>no Shane Carruth
Pleb shit
Please do not name them with actual artists like Korine and Gibson
Has any director ever refused a Criterion release?
>>72029255
The DC was just as shit as Miami Vice's DC.
Mann has the worst ideas post-release on how2improve hisbadfilms
>>72028600
Is this movie worth watching? Just watched Everybody Wants Some last night and loved it, and have loved every other Linklater film I've seen, but this one seems to be the most controversial.
If I really really like the Before Trilogy, will I like this?
>>72029266
>>72029284
You forgot to list Sam Peckinpah, Sergio Leone, and Walter Hill
>>72029307
If you like director
why are you here asking if its worth watching?
It is worth watching just to complete his filmography and see how he evolves - or not
Watching film based on if it is good or bad is pretty boring way to go about it!
>>72029307
It's much better than something like Fast Food Nation or Bernie. It has a concept and it executes it well. People who want it to be more spectacular are missing the point.
>>72029290
Ozu threw a fit one time, wanted more money
>>72029307
You should realize that your question doesn't make the most minimal sense.
Don't pander to the retards on this sewer. It's not a controversial film, either.
>already out on blu ray
>criterion release it for 3x the price
>criterion dickriders suck it up
Why?
>>72029266
Refn is absolute dogshit
Korine is okay
Gibson, why?
Upstream Colour is deserving of the treatment
Boyhood is better than anything released by any of those directors
>>72029307
wtf dude
it's very similar to the Before trilogy
it and that trilogy are his two masterpieces, I'd probably say Boyhood is his opus though.
why would you not watch a major film from a director you love?
fuck you
holy shit I haven't checked in on criterion in a while but my god they killed it this year. Del toro trilogy, Short cuts, New World, Mullholland, cat people, strangelove, fucking blood simple. Wish I was rich, because these blu rays are the only luxury item that I would buy, fuck cars, mansions, and jewelry.
>>72029432
expert restorations and tailor made extras. that's why.
>>72028600
lel
>>72029432
a) that blu-ray release was rushed, the quality is decent but the Criterion remaster will surely be better
b) due to the rush that initial release was almost completely barebones, the Criterion has a commentary, many interesting sounding features that will add hours of time to the disc, and what will likely be an amazing essay from one of the best American authors of the last 20 years
any other stupid questions?
>>72029469
/tv/, right here
>>72029434
>Boyhood is better than anything released by any of those directors
>Gibson, why?
>>>/reddit/
>>72029336
Sergio Leone does not have criterion release(s)?
But you are right.
>>72029284
You are wrong, Refn is 2/2 in releasing fantastic kino and mark my words, Shane Carruth will prove himself to be enduring
>>72029457
I'm not even close to being rich but I still ordered short cuts, new world, mulholland, and the whit stillman trilogy they just rereleased.
just use your money wisely bro
>>72029266
Releasing a movie is a bit more complicated than just choosing movies you like
>>72029506
name Gibson's best movies. I can't tell if you're serious or not.
again though, Refn is laughable garbage that will never, ever make it to Criterion
>>72029461
>"""restoring""" a 2 year old movie
lol
Drive is a good film, OGF is ambtitious film. Don't understand the Refn hate.
Everything is either GODITER KINO or SHIT SHIT SHIT S H I T.
>>72028600
lol why do people take criterion seriously? what a bunch of fucking trash. they don't care about cinema except insofar as getting money from reddit losers.
>>72029266
Spring Breakers legitimately needs a Criterion release.
>>72029307
It's great. It's light hearted. It's life.
>>72029518
I'm glad dumbshit goys like you buy your $60 movies or I would have no remuxes to download and watch for free.
>>72029607
>needs a Criterion release
But it's bluray release is perfectly fine???
the most overrated film of at least a decade. Awful acting, pretentious dialog and long as fuck. Fuck this film and anyone that likes it.
Pretty sure it's only being added because of the concept, rather than the film itself.
The film's decent, nothing special, but the concept is what makes it worth a watch.
>>72029547
The Passion of the Christ
Apocalypto
You also misunderstand Refn, OGF and Neon Demon are both a fresh new take on kino in a world where even hyperrealists have become video essayists
Pusher trilogy alone should qualify him for Criterion, and they really desperately need a new release.
>>72029663
I already know the concept, so I feel justified in skipping it.
>>72029631
But the bluray doesn't have a criterion logo on it and epic minimalist cover. Also I don't buy movies unless they cost at least $40.
>>72029714
I've never actually got around to Apocalypto. I've heard some encouraging things though.
Maybe I'll check it out soon. I am pretty discouraged by your affection for Refn though, it sounds as though we have entirely different aesthetic interests.
Gibson is a nice cratsman, but the dickriding on certain boards of 4chan for ideological reasons is just pathetic
Are they doing a fucking 1080p release of it? Whats the fucking point, it's deprecated resolution.
4K OR BUST.
>>72029596
Excellent posts, they show the eloquence and intelligence of who 'hates' the awful Boyhood and that terrible shitty company Criterion
How many years did it take to make again?
>>72029548
lmao they actually did restore it:
>New 2K digital transfer, supervised by director Richard Linklater, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
>New audio commentary featuring Linklater and nine members of the cast and crew
>New documentary chronicling the film’s production, featuring footage shot over the course of its twelve years
>New discussion featuring Linklater and actors Patricia Arquette and Ellar Coltrane, moderated by producer John Pierson
>New conversation between Coltrane and actor Ethan Hawke
>New video essay by critic Michael Koresky about time in Linklater’s films, narrated by Coltrane
>Collection of portraits of cast and crew by photographer Matt Lankes, narrated with personal thoughts from Linklater, Arquette, Hawke, Coltrane and producer Cathleen Sutherland
>PLUS: An essay by novelist Jonathan Lethem
>>72029878
Transferring=/=restoring
>>72029663
The concept- or what many shitposters call the gimmick, 'le meme years'- is vital part of the film, and of course an enormous part of what makes it special and so full of qualities.
>>72029878
>2k digital transfer.
I sure hope they are referring to '4k' (but just by vertical resolution, 2160p)
>>72029908
why don't you restore my dick, bitch.
>>72028600
>average kid grows up to be your typical edgy prose-spouting college liberal and nothing ever really happens in this film because it has really draggy pacing
I had beer, I had chips, and this movie made me want to sleep
>>72029767
>I am pretty discouraged by your affection
>it sounds as though we have entirely different aesthetic interests
You sound like you're full of shit. I bet you like Malick.
>>72029850
did i trigger the redditors
>>72029909
it's so hilarious to me that the people on this board refer to the 12 year process as a gimmick. it immediately reveals that they're completely oblivious to who Linklater even is or what his interests have been for 20 years. his entire career has been about time, Boyhood was just the perfect realization of that preoccupation.
it's a pretty hilariously obvious way of marking themselves as the ignorant of this board
>>72029930
it's probably too long and cost intensive for 4K. The Out 1 restoration was 2K (though granted it was super 16).
>lmao boyhood sucks! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 12 years to make rlm for life
>>72029967
>liking Malick apparently is a sign of bad things to the shitposter
And who the fuck with minimal cinema interest wouldn't at least like Malick? Jesus, /tv/
>>72029767
You're crazy, Refn is probably the number one kinographer working, certainly the only one consciously doing so.
>>72029967
>I bet you like Malick.
This would explain a lot, a mawkish romantic to Refn's hard classicism
>>72029990
Oh go on about how time is relevant for EWS, Slacker, Before trilogy or Dazed and confused.
>>72030027
>probably the number one kinographer working, certainly the only one consciously doing so.
got some bad news for you anon
>>72030025
>And who the fuck with minimal cinema interest wouldn't at least like Malick?
if we're talking about his films after 2000 then most film critics
>>72030027
>such a memelord that he actually uses 'kinographer' seriously
cringe
>>72030033
is this a serious post?
>>72030033
... they're literally all about the passage of time.
like, how retarded are you.
>>72030089
>The film is about passage of time.
Congratz then every film is about time you fucking moron as the film has a start and end.
>>72030059
AND he's humble, reflective and self-conscious? Is there anything he can't do?

I have news for you, then
>>72030075

uh huh
>>72030027
>number one kinographer
you're joking right?
>>72028600
boyhood is not a movie I particularly enjoyed but I can definitely see it as a criterion movie and it's not bad at all that they are releasing it.
The lena dunham movie is a shame though. That shit sucked dickballs
God, that boy has an obnoxious fucking faggot face
>>72030109
if this isn't bait then this may be the most pathetically ignorant string of posts I've ever seen

>>72030113
Living? Yes of course he is, he's really the only one.
>>72030081
It has an actual meaning you know.
>>72030158
why do you think Linklater deliberately sets the movies you listed in very clear, specific timeframes?
why do you think his characters are constantly talking about the passage of time, the moments that construct reality, the need to tune in?
why do you think the Before trilogy is explicitly about two characters meeting together and weaving in and out of each other's lives as decades pass by? why do you think all 3 movies are almost constantly featuring discussions about time? why do you think that the camera lingers on the physical appearances of the two leads as the movies progress to demonstrate the effects of time on even the physical self, let alone the moral or spiritual self?
the answer to all of these questions I hope you've guessed by now is that Linklater's movies are exploring what time means and how, or if, it can be captured with a camera.
>>72030295
>It's about time because it takes place in time.
So every film is about time and space
>>72030295
Stop reddit spacing for fucks sake. You're exposing yourself.

I guess it's great thing that every thread is given at least one designated shitposter
>>72030247
>chooses two movies after making a comment about all of Malick's post-2000 movies
also, Knight of Cups is going to be on a huge number of year end top 10 lists, by many notable critics
To the Wonder is his most poorly received movie of the 00s but was still well-regarded by many prominent critics
I actually don't like Knight of Cups or To the Wonder that much but to think Malick's post-2000 output has been critically maligned by anyone other than the absolute mainstream press is to be pretty retarded/willfully ignorant

You're desperate already, huh? What's the solution in these cases? Well, one can- and should- leave, but the most used strategy here is to shitpost harder
>>72030398
it has an underwater shot of a dog so it must be a good movie
>>72030398
that guy is a dummy
I'm not a huge fan of Knight of Cups but it has been extremely well-received by most serious critics, it'll be prominent in a lot of year-end lists
I like TTW a lot too. Underrated as fuck.
>>72028600
Reminder that Armageddon has a Criterion release.

>>72030441
It's appropriately rated.
>>72030448
And it should, even though when it entered it was for commercial reasons.
>>72030456
>PDL still isn't out on bluray
>>72030441

no
>>72030441
Marina/Olga was so wonderful in To the Wonder, and I love how natural everything feels in his latest three films.
>>72030456
I'd say at most PTA only has 2 movies even worthy of consideration for a Criterion release. The Master is his best movie and I'd say it stands a good chance of getting a release. Blood will likely get a release eventually too.
>>72030469
Refn is a better visual artist than Malick.
>>72030529
>>I'd say at most PTA only has 2 movies even worthy of consideration for a Criterion release
Stop pretending that Criterion is sign of quality. Plenty of mediocre and couple even outright shit films have gotten Criterion releases.

son, it's time to grow up

You're missing Punch Drunk Love. The rest are great but not significant enough to be Criterion material

>only films i like deserve to be released on muh hipster label because i'm an autistic chucklefuck and the arbiter of good taste
Only true masterpieces like Tiny Furniture are worthy of criterion releases.
>>72030550
you realize they've released hundreds of movies right?
oh gee whiz, they've released a few duds! that must mean they're shit! I mean only labels that release 100% quality films as determined by you are worth anything!
>>72030618
They have released plenty of mediocre and even shit films, stop pretending they're mark of quality.
>>72030590
it features The New Yorker, NYTimes, Slant, Reverse Shot, The Guardian... Who is it missing?

Well-received by most serious critics
It is the best quality meter around..
>>72030757
well no shit. Criterion is a committee not one person. of course it represents a breadth of taste, but none of them are bad, which is what you were saying.
Films that deserve a Criterion release:
Gummo
Upstream Color
Grand Budapest Hotel
Drive
Goodbye Lenin!

I'd fucking understand if it was P&G and Bad Boys II.
But they decided to release two bad Bay films.
Criterion is overrated. Especially nowadays they don't release anything good.

>Reddit invented paragraphs
The Criterion collection needs to release more Lynch.
>>72030892
No they used to be a speciality label. Not specfically arthouse. They used to buy any titles they could afford.
>Originally, the Criterion company released art, genre, and mainstream movies on laserdisc. For example Halloween (1978), Ghostbusters (1984), Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Armageddon (1998), and The Rock (1996). Increasingly, the Criterion Collection has focused on releasing World cinema, mainstream cinema classics, and critically successful obscure movies.
>>72030331
holy kek is this pasta

FUCK.
STOP BEING ANGERED BY BLUE RAY RELASE WITH NICE FEATURES
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU
This is literally one of the worst films I've ever seen. Nothing happens and every single character is completley unlikable. I knew I was in for a bad ride when they showed that the boy's mother was a single mother.
armageddon has a criterion release, why are you surprised?
One of the greatest pieces of writing in film history: "Life doesn't give you bumpers."
