Re: Criterion on Social Media
I won't get my hopes up, but I'll say that I would be very happy if this indicates a Criterion of Married to the Mob. The Kino release is out-of-print...

Modine is certainly one of the more charming guests they've had.

At first I was like "wait, wasn't it shot in standard-def digital." And then I realized "oh, domino is just being a smart ass."

Re: Criterion on Social Media
domino's obvious joke about what I'm about to bring up aside I cannot fathom what could possibly be done to make it look better unless I'm severely misinformed about what Inland Empire was shot with (DV?). All I remember is what was very clearly meant to be an intentional muddiness.

Re: Criterion on Social Media

This was actually put out on Blu-ray in the UK. I can't speak to what they managed to do with the source since I haven't watched my copy yet-- maybe one day!

Re: Criterion on Social Media
There is definitely work that can be done to clean up shot on video and give a better presentation, as well as just the basic impetus to put out a good release that will be in print forever as Janus will be able to... Bamboozled looks really good and was worth releasing for its improved presentation regardless of if it is actually native HD.

Re: Criterion on Social Media
As long as they add "More Things That Happened" to any Inland Empire release I will be more than happy. I think I like that even more than the main feature because being a collection of random scenes it dispenses with any sense of linear narrative entirely and just becomes a place to linger in.

The original Absurda DVD has several great extras like that, yet to be replicated elsewhere

Re: Criterion on Social Media
Three questions regarding "Three Reasons", Criterion's 2011-2015 YouTube series:
Firstly, why did it end? It was a novel idea and a nice alternative to the faux modern trailers created by many other labels for classic releases.
Secondly, what happened to number 54? Does anyone know what it was and why it was pulled?
Lastly, for a label usually so assiduous about correct presentation, especially regarding aspect ratios, why was the wrong-headed decision made to crop every film to 1.78:1 irrespective of OAR?
