The Complete Kubrick

So the newer standalone releases will contain material not in the box set?

I expect the newer material will booklets (new essays, reprinted articles), while the actual discs remain identical.

Lolita is going to get one at a minimum, but is every single film going to be reissued as a standalone? Hopefully they'll clarify that sooner than later. I'm not in a rush for the box set but now I'm left wondering whether I should have bothered selling off my MoC Paths of Glory and the earlier CC Barry Lyndon.

Lolita, as well as 4K upgrades of The Killing/Killer's Kiss and Paths of Glory are certainties (I would expect Lolita and POG to be sometime in 2027). Good chance with 2001 and The Shining. Doubtful they do the rest, even Dr Strangelove, unless the Sony 4K goes out of print (it has the same on disc extras as the Criterion Blu, so it's an upgrade only for packaging and swag). Zero chance with Fear and Desire, obviously.

All the Kubrick titles on the channel now all use the box set style artwork, so perhaps there will also be a change to the artwork once existing titles sell out.

Just got this email from Criterion:

Few filmmakers have had as great an impact on how we see cinema as Stanley Kubrick. On October 29, Criterion and TCM are celebrating his legacy with a night of conversation and costume at Nine Orchard in New York City. Tickets are on sale now.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for the full evening, with a drink waiting for you along with passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by a conversation you won’t hear anywhere else. End the night with entry to the FIDELIO rooftop party. The panel features

Matthew Modine (star of Full Metal Jacket)
Vincent D’Onofrio (star of Full Metal Jacket)
Katharina Kubrick (artist and Stanley’s daughter)
Lisa Leone (second-unit director on Eyes Wide Shut)
Josh Safdie (director of Marty Supreme and Uncut Gems

If you can’t make the panel, join us on the roof at 9 p.m. for FIDELIO, a come-as-your-favorite-Kubrick-character costume party.

Anyone here going? And if so, send details. Honestly, if I was going, I would have dressed up as Dr. Strangelove.

I wish I could, but I’ve got other commitments. But I would go as the monolith.
