I only got the 1 disc criterion edition of Life Aquatic, worth getting the 2 disc version because I adore the film.
Yeah, genius film and so cheap, there are 3 documentaries and heaps of other stuff on the 2 disc edition. And a brilliant and hilarious interview with Wes and the screenwriter on some italian film tv show, not sure if its a parody or not, it has to be seen to be believed, on second thoughts it has to be a parody
Head up everyone!
Criterion will release a NEW SE 3 disc set for Seven Samurai and will be also re-lease Brazil in September. Rumors are flying that CC will be re-release certain editions previously out of stock. Keep an eye on certain titles. I'm crossing my fingers that John Woo's The Killers and Salo will be included. However, at this point these are only rumors.
btw-yes, CC has a new look.
Hhuh? Criterion lost the rights to that movie a looooong time ago, and I don't expect they'll ever revisit it. Their edition of that movie was horrible to begin with, picture wise. The only really decent aspect of it was the Demme/Foster/Hopkins commentary.
Older Criterion releases have a tendency to be a good bit overrated, just because of the name sake.

This Seven Samurai 3 disc is worth EVERY penny. Watch it again over the weekend. The quality is no different than the previous dvd. I love the intermission. The documentaries really make it worth it. Full interviews of Kurosawa and details of the film. Audio Commentary is good not perfect still very worth it to hear it. Once again Criterion delivers!
Why in the hell (pardon the pun) won't Warner Bros. release Ken Russell's "The Devils" on DVD??? The performances in that film are amazingly good and if Critereon can put out another version of Pasolini's "Salo," why couldn't they do the same for "The Devils?" This is very frustrating. Visually, the film is stunning with all of Derek Jarman's sets. As I mentioned, the acting is first rate, especially Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave. This story is twisted, but it remains one of the best films Russell has ever done. Somebody DO something!! Know anybody who works at Warner's?
It's probably R0, not that it really matters.
