Is the C collection actually any good or is it just a load of shit?
as far as old japanese stuff goes, endless treasure troveKurosawa, Ozu, Seijun Suzuki, Mikio Naruse, Keisuke Kinoshitause their search function for all japanese movies from the 50s. just pick something at random. don't read the description. it's probably gonna be good
95% of their releases are top tier and they get shit on for the few transfers that look kinda badTheir Barry Lyndon release was insanely good
>Can you believe it, you've already finished C>Think you can do MATLAB?
It's pretentious wank, the nip stuff is usually even worse than other releases, often lacking the dub.>>217233832Shartlab is for losers who can't program
>>217233348Collection? GoodColor grading? Bad
>>217233348They have a lot of great stuff but some of their releases are pretty bad. Inland Empire and Three Colors: Blue immediately come to mind. Generally great though, worth standing alongside Arrow and Kino Lorber.>>217233883>often lacking the dub.You say that like it's a bad thing.
>>217233348only way I could get the full version of Scenes From a Marriage, so frankly idgaf how good their "average" quality is.
>>217233348they were great until about a decade ago when they got taken over by idpol obsessed woke faggotsnow they're a fashion band for normies who want to feel cultured
>>217233348You can decide for yourself what you want to watch.
>>217233348Criterion is a curator of cinema for american swines.It's nice but it's still lacking.
>>217233348JUST crush my blacks up, pham
Can't help but feel Criterion has kind of lost sight of the C Concept it was started on
>>217235508
>>217235558i'm more of a Bottom guy
>>217235558bottom looks better though.
>>217235711yeah, we know fag
>>217233348Yes. People will complain that certain recent movies and movies like Armageddon are in it when 90% of their catalogue is arthouse /film/ shit. Idk enough to speak on the restorations but most of the ones I have look fine to me.>>217234197lmao as I was typing I saw this. I own this one and was like wtf.
>>217235419I'm not reading a movie
>>217233791>few transfers that look kinda badWhich ones look bad?>>217234197Which film is this?
>>217235911uh oh a zoom zoom with his self-worth tied up in his small collection of criterion blu-rays is getting his feelings hurt
>>217233791Same for eyes wide shut and blue velvet
>>217235945Did you notice any audio issue around chapter 3 of Eyes Wide Shut? Like the background noise goes silent even while Tom and Nichole are talking
>>217235911>Which film is this?try looking at that picture a little harder champ
>>217235711>>217235719SO. MUCH. THIS.I also improved it further
>>217235558top is washed out
>>217233348C is for CRAP
I just check the forums for reviews, they're generally pretty decent and honest.https://criterionforum.org/reviews
>>217233348Both. Anyone post that yet?Quality classics smothered in the woke agenda of the people who work there
>>217234197top - original bluray releasebottom - criterion release
>>217233348They invented audio commentary.
>>217236534I just check their website for essays after watching a kino
>>217237451I cant find anything about Asterix criterion release
>>217235870it's pretty obvious what was going on with Armageddonit was such a huge movie that it had to have a DVD release, even though DVD had just come outnot many companies were making DVDs yet, but Criterion was earlyso they landed the deal to release Armageddon on DVDI haven't looked this up, but that's obviously what happened
>>217239263Armageddon was a Disney movie, and it got a normal dvd release. The criterion edition was directors cut. Bay was still a relatively new director and had a good track record and a lot of promise and criterion kind of jumped the gun on bringing him into the fold just like they did with David Gordon Green and Lena Dunham.
>>217233348Gummo's in it, so yeah
>>217239322>Lena DunhamAnyone with a brain could've told you where that was headed.
