Daisuke's reaction to the CRITERION COLLECTION Nov. 2024 Releases

[@YungKofta]

My favorite time of the month is when Daisuke shares in the same astonishment with Criterion's new releases

[@Tim_Raths]

Paper Moon is the title I’m most excited for. So glad it’s finally getting a release.

[@archiecinema]

Criterion is getting all my money this month. I just saw Paper Moon last year at my local theatre. Just a charming movie.

[@Sude1089]

This is epic! All my life I've heard my mother use the phrase "I gotta go winky-tink!" while highly praising the film "Paper Moon". She has periodically encouraged me to seek this film out and I kept putting it off until I recently watched "Barry Lyndon" for the first time. I added the DVD to my Amazon wishlist and then put off purchasing it again, but NOW I am given this amazing opportunity to add it to my physical media library courtesy of the Criterion collection and potentially at 50% off! This is another one of those fated movie moments for me to have made all the more special because of my newly restored love for Ryan O'Neal and my mother's comments. Not only that, and I may have mentioned to you before, but I have never seen Howard Hawk's "Scarface"! I have recollections of seeing snippets of it on my cherished Brian De Palma special edition "Scarface" DVD special features but have yet to see it in it's entirety. This is going to be the most amazing moment when I can get my hands on this film and watch it for the first time. I might even risk eating a fresh pineapple while viewing it! I am a Guillermo Del Toro fan as I love "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Blade II" but I have not seen many of his other works and I recall feeling around the time of it's release that "The Shape of Water" might not be for me. The fish man reminded me too much of a character in the film "Hellboy" also by Del Toro and honestly I think the fishman in a personal favorite "Creature From the Black Lagoon" is a much cooler horny fish man, but some other people's comments and the academy recognizing this film does sway my opinion to want to check it out! Saying that last part does make me want a Criterion release of "Creature From the Black Lagoon" now... I'm definitely a fan of "Godzilla" since childhood and was introduced to "Seven Samurai" a few years back when I finally purchased the Criterion blu-ray. I actually don't mind when Criterion re-releases an older film already in the collection on a new format because sometimes I reflect on how I, in a way, don't want Criterion releasing too many new films each month for artistic quality or integrities sake, if that makes sense. The more movies in the collection the better, I suppose, but it's like my heart can't take all the excitement sometimes. As always though, seeing the future release titles and hearing your comments has been a highlight of the month! Thank you so much for taking the time to speak a little bit about these films, Daisuke! You are the man! Have a wonderful Sunday as of the time of this comment and a great start to another week of August 2024. Cheers!

The Shape of Water is a stunning, emotional, imperfect gem of pure genre synthesis and personal transcendence; it has always proven to be so rewatchable for me in recent years. It also possibly includes the performance the great Richard Jenkins will always deservingly be most lauded for, and a musical score that fittingly manages to truly sing, without the need for singing.

I’m soo excited about all the November announcements

[@nickbirkhead7238]

the screen-grabs for the new scan of scarface do indeed look incredible, available at the bottom of the page on criterion's site..

[@guittarman7]

You really make us feel like dear friends! I'm most excited for Scarface, More early films on 4k is always good

[@daninbox]

Here’s what I know Daisuke DIDN’T say “Oh, damn it. Now I have to watch Godzilla again!”

[@ConnerNielsen6]

Whenever Daisuke says “if it’s okay with you” I always respond with “it’s more than okay, my dear dear friend”

[@Jared_Wignall]

Scarface, Godzilla and The Seven Samurai all on 4K are a must for me. Thank you for talking about the November releases Daisuke, I hope you’re doing well. Please have a great day and take care!

[@nathanthomas5133]

BFI are also putting out Seven Samurai using the same transfer Criterion are using, but with Dolbyvision/HDR - from the website Criterion’s just seems to be SDR

[@timothymathetes]

I am very pleased and excited about the 7 Samurai 4k. 🎉🎉 How enviable to have seen it projected. Wow!

[@filmfan7895]

Thanks!

[@DaisukeBeppu]

Wow thank you so much for this Super Thanks! You are very kind!!!! I hope you are well my friend.

[@DocHikes]

My Christmas stocking is going to be so happy this year because of these titles!

[@C.G.Jr.]

The Doom Trilogy is a must have for me. Those movies are just my kind of vibe on every level

[@Crashking416]

I'm most excited for Paper Moon and The Shape of Water, but the entire slate is fantastic.

[@Prettorian]

Time to start a Kickstarter for Daisuke's November!😁

[@1dbanner]

Paper Moon is long overdue, and a welcome addition. I wonder if Criterion will do At Long Last Love at some point

[@Tim_Raths]

With November getting seven releases I imagine December is going to be a lighter month.

[@Chris-lt7ry]

Can’t wait for funny girl on 4K. I almost bought seven samurai during the last sale but there were rumblings about a re release. So glad I held back. Hope you’re doing well🙏 have a great weekend Daisuke!

[@elliotjamesmulhern]

have been dreaming for a Criterion 'The Shape of Water' 4k since it came out!! So excited for all the new announced titles!!

[@redpenink12]

I agree.. this is a nice release month

[@southendonseaarts]

We are getting the same restoration of Seven Samurai from BFI in October so I’m getting that as I have the Criterion bluray and so have the features that will be on the 4k. I think it’s a nicely balanced month for releases.

[@creategreatness8823]

2012 - Godzilla Blu Ray 2019 - Godzilla Showa Box Set 2024 - Godzilla 4K Every few years...Criterion can't resist dipping back into Godzilla and putting more respect on the legend. I fully anticipate that the Heisei and Millennium films will enter the physical Criterion collection in due time, and that the entire Godzilla catalog will one day be on glorious 4K Disc.

[@Celestialrob]

Hi Daisuke - Amazing month - all look really interesting. Probably least interested in Seven Samurai as I have the BluRay

[@nathanthomas5133]

The BFI Seven Samurai uses the same transfer but from the specs seems to have HDR/Dolbyvision which the Criterion doesn’t & they also often have better encoding (by FiM) than Criterion

[@Mrluap285]

I dont know why, but the way you say "described" while talking about the listed year of the films interests me. Are you saying Criterion isnt always right with their dates?

[@GhostDiZ]

I really don't understand why the Criterion doesn't just hire you for promotions

[@GhostDiZ]

My brother, I just picked up the perfect version of "Thief" DVD James Caan RIP too, along with seven samurai dvd. Great video!

[@rocknrollbarbarossa5263]

Hi Daisuke, i think the Seven Samurai Collection offers not much. Same packaging, with the data right now no Dolby Vision or HDR 10. The BFI Virsion is my way to go and it is much cheaper. Greetings from Bavaria 🔵⚪

[@heartofcinema3454]

Lots of repeat releases. Sad for me, as i dont care/wish to update to the 4k format.

[@brandonrobertkersjes]

Sell some plasma. lol

[@DaisukeBeppu]
