Agreed. I think we can`t get enough digipacks 8-)godardslave wrote:It's your fault for dropping the package.Gigi M. wrote:As much as I've said I love digipaks, for once I have to agree with you.

Take responsibility for your own mistakes.
Read some existential philosophy.
I have it on good authority Sartre loved digipaks.
It looks like they are being released on a Janus Films label without falling under the Criterion or Eclipse banners. This is similar to the Janus properties that were released under the auspices of the "Classic Collection" joint venture between Criterion and Home Vision, but that project died with Home Vision. I expect they will be something like The Rocking Horse Winner, which has the Janus coin logo on the spine. There is some discussion of this in the Red Balloon/White Mane thread. I'm still deciding where to put those threads. I'll wait until Criterion/Janus make their plans more clear.Antoine Doinel wrote:Where are the Criterion year and label bars on the left hand side and the magic "C"?
Those were produced by Criterion, but distributed by Home Vision so they were in the HV thread. If it looks like this trend will continue, we can make a Janus Films thread in the "Boutique Labels" forum, or even create a new forum in the Criterion subsection along with the Criterion and Eclipse forums. Of course, if these end up being the only three titles, that might be kind of silly.miless wrote:well... I think these should be categorized however the Merchant Ivory Collection was.
Criterion takes a walk on the dark side this April, with two extraordinary films on DVD for the first time: the seminal melodrama Death of a Cyclist, directed by Juan Antonio Bardem (Javier Bardem’s uncle and icon of Spanish cinema), and Allen Baron’s brutal, low-budget New York City noir Blast of Silence, a personal favorite of Scorsese’s that’s sure to become one of the most talked-about buried treasures of the year. And Janus Films moves out of the shadows and off into the sky with the release of three children’s classics, never before released on DVD, including the beloved original masterpiece The Red Balloon.

Yeah, I have this US DVD of The Red Balloon, which came out a few year ago. It has a really strange animated film that accompanies it about a bubble person world with a villain made of pins. Odd stuff.Kinsayder wrote:Not strictly true.Criterion wrote:And Janus Films moves out of the shadows and off into the sky with the release of three children’s classics, never before released on DVD, including the beloved original masterpiece The Red Balloon.

It's Warner. And that might as well refer to September... 2006.Cronenfly wrote:You're correct: checking IMDB, it looks like it's going to be out from Warner or Sony in September.

This board posting linked to an IGN article that says it's coming in September 2008. Whether that will actually come to pass or not remains to be seen (as it seems to be so long delayed).jaredsap wrote:It's Warner.

Wrong thread for this, but the IGN article refers to September 2007. And before that there were articles that said it was coming out in 2006.Cronenfly wrote:This board posting linked to an IGN article that says it's coming in September 2008.
