Fantastic.
Wait, what?
No, it's around until their license expires in whatever future year that is. Best time to buy it will be Barnes and Nobles' November Criterion half price sale.Will this be a limited thing? Like are there only going to be so many made of this edition? Might consider it if its still available come Christmas time.
Good call, thanks!No, it's around until their license expires in whatever future year that is. Best time to buy it will be Barnes and Nobles' November Criterion half price sale.
I think the rights holders are listed here. I think the Heisei and Millenium films are more reasonably priced than some of the older out of print ShĹŤwa stuff is now, but I bought my copies years ago. Might've changed.Good call, thanks!
Does anyone have the rights to do some of the later movies?
I can understand the original (and in fact have that release) but I have to say I'm surprised by this. These don't really seem like Criterion worthy movies. I rarely ever by a Critierion movie so am not upset or anything silly like that, just a bit surprised. My understanding is that getting a bunch of these movies in modern formats has been rather tricky so I'm glad you fans will have a great collection of some of them finally.
Criterion has a longstanding practice of balancing more carefully curated "art film" releases with more mainstream releases that will actually shift copies and keep the company alive.
Ah, okay. I remember they did that for The Rock and Armageddon back on DVD but didn't know it was something they do every now and then.

That movie's hilarious. Godzilla's horrible child, who looks like an animated, discolored rotisserie chicken.It's Beautiful!
They even managed to make Son of Godzilla's art great. I wouldn't complain if they left the actual movie out though....
They released The Princess Bride and Breakfast Club in the past few years, lol.Ah, okay. I remember they did that for The Rock and Armageddon back on DVD but didn't know it was something they do every now and then.
That's already out.
Wow, holy smokes. Imagine if they did the Heisei era series...
Criterion tends to have 50% off sales through their site and Barnes and Noble, but it's typically comparable to an amazon price.Not super familiar with Criterion. I was about to hit buy on this...but are there ways for me to really get this for a lot cheaper if I wait a bit?
