Member dwk Posted June 5 Member Share Posted June 5 No, they have no deal with Toei. Tony Stella confirmed on twitter that it is just wishful thinking because he wants someone to release it on Blu-ray, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nahnahnah Posted June 6 Member Share Posted June 6 Janus is touring the 4K restoration of Seven Samurai, which is starting next month in LA and NYC. Hopefully a 4K disc is on its way later this year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nahnahnah Posted June 17 Member Share Posted June 17 Supposedly Criterion is acknowledged in the opening credits of the new 4K restoration of Raise the Red Lantern. If this means they have the rights, then hopefully it mewns they got the rights to Johnnie To's The Mission since they both are owned by the same producer.

Point taken. I've never paid for shipping since the minimum order amount to qualify for free shipping is $40 but it's definitely not two days. Pretty quick though, usually less than a week.

Member nahnahnah Posted August 9 Member Share Posted August 9 (edited) Why is Radiance included in that? A lot of their releases don't even have that many new (or even old) extras and I doubt they have many releases where they add an extra film in there. Not to mention that none of those labels aren't even paying the people who do special features proper wages (though obviously no one is going to mention that). And this is coming from someone who is buying releases from those labels. Edited August 9 by nahnahnah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is coming from someone who is buying releases from those labels. If any one is interested in this topic, there is a short thread at the Criterion Forum about it, The Economics of Extras. Truthfully, it is pretty dire situation, and one reason that I try not to bitch about either the quality or amount of special features from any label (can't say I always am successful.) It helps to be mindful of the actual costs that go into these releases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member nahnahnah Posted September 14 Member Share Posted September 14 A user on the Bluray Forum predicted that a Miracles release would be announced for December and @OldPangYau replied with a picture of a baseball field. I'm going to say that the picture means that they are "in the ballpark", and that it will be announced soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
