Sadly the dual format didn't work for them, but would love to see them return the format occasionally for DVD,BD & Book packages. Even if they are limited edition releases.movielocke wrote:Roots of the Czech new wave eclipse

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
I feel like they could do isolated dual format releases when they have a book they can't print in two form factors, princess bride would be a good test case.

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
My paperback copy of the book is about 425 pages long and pretty much right at one inch thick (i.e. the same thickness of the dual format A Hard Day's Night in its totality). So while I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Criterion (re)released The Princess Bride--they are sitting on a commentary that remains exclusive to one of their three laserdisc releases of the film, which commentary hasn't surfaced since, despite copious physical media releases of that film--I don't anticipate them including either the full book nor making it dual format.movielocke wrote:I feel like they could do isolated dual format releases when they have a book they can't print in two form factors, princess bride would be a good test case.

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
Picnic at hanging rock is like two or three inches thick. Not sure why a commentary being available disproves anything. We know criterion has explicitly mentioned that if they do princess bride it has to be in a new way, as they consider the studio release definitive. Releasing it with the book would be one such approach.Raymond Marble wrote:My paperback copy of the book is about 425 pages long and pretty much right at one inch thick (i.e. the same thickness of the dual format A Hard Day's Night in its totality).

Re: Princess Bride paperback
Historically, Criterion has only included a book when the book is very obscure or long out of print. ("Short Cuts" may be an exception.)
"The Princess Bride" is currently easily available in five different versions, so there would be little incentive to do so except as a gimmick. It would add a lot of cost to the package but little value.

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
I'm not sure either, although I don't think Raymond argued anything of the sort. The availability of the commentary merely suggests Criterion have great, exclusive material. You're talking about two different things.movielocke wrote:Not sure why a commentary being available disproves anything.
I'd love to get Dekalog and some HHH, or any Welles, although it might be too early for any Orson. Perhaps an upgrade for the Teshigahara or Imamura box?
Ah, no wonder I never do these guessing games, I seem more insane by the minute as I think of any of that coming true. Wait, there's more! The Ball at the Anjo House! There. Anyone want tips for the lottery?

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
I hope they get to the Dreyer box before too long. So my guess is that.
(Tried twice with the BFI set but each copy arrived too damaged to keep. Two's my limit, especially when it's something Criterion should get around to at some point. And given how much it costs to return them (fortunately not out of my pocket, but still).)

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
Did Criterion literally just delay all of the killer releases from the back half of 2015 to the first of 2016? I'm pretty sure that these three months have more "must-have ASAP" releases than all of last year.
I wouldn't mind an upgrade or two, though.
