We watched Bringing out the Dead and I feel like I need a rewatch to fully understand a lot of the parallels. It’s a very funny movie that manages just the right amount of bite to keep everything grounded.

I watched that last night too and I….didnt love it like I was expecting too. I love weird Scorsese - After Hours is one of my faves - but BOTD just felt slightly mis-calibrated. The tone was never right for what he was trying to do. There’s great moments and performances of course, I especially loved Ving Rhames, but I’m not exactly sure what he’s going for with it. Patricia Arquette is also very bad.

I also quite enjoyed Bringing out the Dead. If you work in medicine or have family in the job, then the feeling of powerless in saving people with overwhelmed hospitals or people's poor choices feels real. Plus Cage.

Is there any chance of a Yojimbo/Sanjuro 4K upgrade in the near future? My Sanjuro disc’s been dead for years now but I’m hesitant to replace it because those feel like inevitable upgrades.

Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and Stray Dogs all have 4K releases in Japan (region-free but no English subs). I think it's just a matter of time and licensing before they come to America but who knows when.

Great to see The Last Emperor get an upgrade. The Arrow edition seems to have nice extras, but Criterion's original 4-disc DVD set was way more comprehensive. I'm going to guess the television cut will be the remastered 2.35:1 version used for Arrow's release since it was exclusive to Criterion's 4-disc DVD released way back in 2007. Kind of surprised they opted not to do a refresh of the Blu-ray since besides the 2.00:1 aspect ratio, all the extras are crammed onto the same disc. Even for the 4K UHD, they really should have made it a 4-disc release with the theatrical cut on 4K and Blu, one Blu just for the TV cut, and a third Blu for extras. Not sure why they're penny pinching on Best Picture winners.Big Mean Jerk posted:Is there any chance of a Yojimbo/Sanjuro 4K upgrade in the near future?

The white whale seems to be a comprehensive Kurosawa box set, despite licensing being realistic. I wonder if the holdup has become Dersu Uzala because it's a Mosfilm property.

1) Mother 2) Mother 3) Mother 4) It's tough, but I think a tie between Mother and Mother.

Why doesn’t Criterion have any films by: -Harmony Korine (Trash Humpers is on the Criterion Channel but does that mean anything? I would also love to see the entire Southbound series by his father Sol Korine on Eclipse but do they even do Eclipse stuff anymore?) -Gaspar Noe (despite doing a closet picks vid - nada) -Werner Herzog (they have Burden of Dreams by Les Blank but not Fitzcarraldo?!) -Vincent Gallo -Frances Ford Coppola (OK so they have Rumblefish which is terrific but still) -Leos Carax -Alan Clarke -Quentin Tarantino Just to name a few, off the top of my head

Probably a mixture of rights and there being a lot of worthy movies and only so much time. I would love to see Gummo or Holy Motors get the Criterion treatment, though.
