Member razorclam Posted January 4, 2012 Member Share Posted January 4, 2012 In Criterion's New Years Eve clue drawing; They have a hint that many are saying represents a Blu Ray upgrade for The Samurai Trilogy.

Member Takuma Posted January 4, 2012 Member Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'll be very happy. Unless it turns out to be "Baseball Trilogy" Edit: is that 3-Iron in the bottom right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the original Criterion release is basically on par with a not-so-good laserdisc release (I believe it is the same, one of Criterion's worst looking DVD releases). Well it is probably Y Tu Mama Tambien. Though Criterion certainly needs more South Korean films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted January 4, 2012 Member Share Posted January 4, 2012 OK what are they releasing on BR? Which month or do you mean what clues can we glean from the image above? Coming soon: Most likely upcoming this year: Gold Rush, Harold and Maude, Rosemary's Baby, Breaking the Waves, Being John Malkovich, A Night to Remember (BR) and City Lights.

Member daisho2004 Posted January 7, 2012 Member Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sorry I meant what Samurai trilogy are they releasing on BR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted January 7, 2012 Member Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sorry I meant what Samurai trilogy are they releasing on BR? I HIGHLY doubt they will release the Samurai Trilogy on Blu. The transfer on the DVD's is horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Samurai Trilogy I HIGHLY doubt they will release the Samurai Trilogy on Blu. The transfer on the DVD's is horrid. That's exactly why we expect them to release them on BD. We've been waiting for new transfers forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member razorclam Posted January 7, 2012 Author Member Share Posted January 7, 2012 Since Criterion started releasing films on blu ray, every movie they've upgraded that was a previous release has gotten the blu ray treatment. It doesn't seem like a stretch to think the pattern will continue. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted January 8, 2012 Member Share Posted January 8, 2012 I hope it gets a decent blu ray release. Only thing is, that print looks like as good as its going to get. It seemed worse than even older Kurosawa prints. Here's hoping I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way they would release something as bad (in source quality) as the LD port for the original DVD releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
