Anybody watch the non-movie stuff yet? I’m really digging the interviews with people like Bill Hader and Barry Jenkins talking about why they live movies and recommending movies from the collection. Also happy to see you can access special features with most of the films.

It's almost like watching superhero movies has made you forget how to think. Or maybe you watch superhero movies because you never knew how to think in the first place.

For some reason there’s no Malick films even though Criterion has released all his movies up to Tree of Life. I already own the blu-rays but it’d be cool to have Days of Heaven up there.

Some Samuel Fuller would be great too.

>quads

Probably focus by director and country and period. Pick a director who's film you appreciated on that list and go through their work if you haven't already. I think with Andrzej ZuLawski, a lot of people have seen Possession but none of his other work.

start with bvs. by starting with the best, you'll be able to handle anything afterwards.

Well, I've watched other films by my favorite directors on that list, but how do you continue to find new ones like Bela Tarr, who is not on the list. I thought the next chart would go deeper.

Stop shitposting, samefag.

There's shit in the Criterion Collection like The Breakfast Club and Armageddon for your zoomer ass. There's a wide variety not just slow-paced Italian Neorealist films.

All those movies are by directors who made other movies. If you saw Three Colors Blue, you should watch White and Red. Liked Chungking Express? In the Mood for Love, Happy Together, Fallen Angels. Enjoyed 8 1/2? Watch 1-7.

Is the bitrate of the criterion channel any better than competitive streaming services? Do they even have any UHD movies? They do all their masters and scans in 4K for the last few years and before that they were doing scans in 1440p at least

you fags are all fags. i watch all films on reels still get on my level

It's over Capekiddo there's finally a service for adults on Yea Forums

My experience with streaming in general is that while they can look pretty good, the subtle stuff like film grain is pretty tough to make look good with any sort of compression. If you are really picky, I bet you'll notice some stuff.

It’s based off Vimeo so it’s at least less compressed than YouTube. No 4K or HDR but that shits a meme anyway.

A significant number of those movies are not art house. Art house doesn't mean old, or black and white. Seven Samurai is a straight up blockbuster. Literally any of Kurosawa's movies would be a better choice than Seven Samurai.

Criterion doesn't always pick a director's best work to include in the collection. Oftentimes they can't afford the bigger movies. Citizen Kane isn't in the collection but 6 other Welles films are. Rumble Fish is in the collection but not Apocalypse Now or the Godfather.

Probably because of rights issues and that god tier score by Air

you use a vpn dumbass

free VPN's are botnet

And certain times they only include movies because they can get the rights to others.

For example, Fox wouldn't let Criterion license Beyond the Valley of the Dolls unless they included Valley of the Dolls too

I think it's a service like netflix.

you pay the 5 bucks for the vpn so you don't have to pay for all the other services.

Maybe that's because you haven't seen early Malick. His first two are vastly different and more conventional (as far as narrative is concerned) than his later work. Badlands captures a certain quintessential American spirit, it's one of the best road movies

>Criterion remasters and restores
Yeah, but they also convert PAL-shot video (25fps) to 23.976 fps. They did this with Dekalog, they did this with even new films like Antichrist, and yet fanboys will still recommend their releases over superior releases. Arrow, I think, released Dekalog in its native 25fps.
Criterion fucked up the sepia shots of Stalker, with no real justification. Criterion bows down to directors like Mann who practice retrogressive releases of their work (see: Thief DC being digitally graded blue, with rumors Mann would have pulled out and not given an official seal of approval if he weren't given full creative control to butcher the "remaster").

Both were shot in 25 fps, you moron. Or at least Dekalog was shit for PAL television, which is 25fps. The Criterion released of Antichrist has a longer runtime due to the slowdown from 25 > 24 fps. There's long discussions about it on blu-ray forums, fuck off and read them.

Criterion has 4m45s longer runtime due to NTSC slowdown. 1:44 is the correct runtime. Criterion disc plays back in slow motion, and they justify this because their North American market is too retarded to buy PAL compatible players. Imagine defending Criterion cancer

Saving the best for last I see

Criterion will usually settle for “lesser” films of a famous director, especially if they’re their first films.
That’s why they have Following, but not Memento. Or why they have The Game but not Zodiac. Shallow Grave but not Trainspotting. The list goes on.

>The most discussed difference between the Criterion and the Arrow Blu-ray releases is that the Arrow has been transferred in 1080i / 25 fps. Why? because, as they correctly point out, that this was how the Dekalog was broadcast originally - on Polish television - in PAL at 25 fps speed, circa 1987. So that makes sense - but why didn't Criterion transfer in 1080i? Answer: because many North American players and displays are incapable of playing '50i' content. So what it means is that the Criterion is 4% slower than originally shown. It is unusual, but we have seen it before. Both Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz (shot at 25fps on film) and Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth (which was shot on PAL DVCAM) are also 4% slower than would have been originally viewed/broadcast.
>As Michael Brooke informed us in our FB group: "Unfortunately for them, they have no choice. They don't have the option of releasing discs that much of their customer base won't be able to play, and the alternative - faking 25fps within 24fps/23.976fps - would most likely look worse.
>Incidentally, on the subject of 1080p and 1080i transfers, when it comes to this particular release there's no practical difference - "1080i" is merely a carrier for a fully progressive 25fps image, and it's just a way of getting round limitations of the Blu-ray specs. In practice, and even if you step through it frame by frame, they'll be the same aside from the framerate." (Thanks Michael)

If you're gonna complain about something complain about the lower bitrate.

baka criterion didn't release alien3 instead of the game

Disney gave Criterion The Rock, Armageddon, Chasing Amy and Royal Tenenbaums. It can happen.

plenty of that to go around unfortunately

>cancer
how is making a product appropriate for their market "cancer"? they literally didn't have a choice. plus there is no appreciable alteration to the work, either. it suddenly isn't a totally different film, e.g. the old pan-and-scan vs. letterboxing issue in the DVD days. this slow-down is pretty much imperceptible, like how watching a film in a theatre you are actually sitting in total darkness half the time

that's also partly licensing from the major studios, since they feel they can still make money off blus of high-profile films like those. i'm sure Criterion would love to get their hands on Zodiac, for instance

>waaaaah they have one featured segment on women directors fuck this gay sjw bullshit baka
imagine not liking Varda or Denis

>Unfortunately for them, they have no choice. They don't have the option of releasing discs that much of their customer base won't be able to play
>4% slowdown
>no practical difference
Yeah, it's exactly like a I wrote, Criterion and its fanbase is retarded. Such practices are the definition of anti-art. Criterion has a choice, in advertising PAL-compatible requirements for playback and remaining faithful to the original source. It's that easy. Meanwhile, for BDrips, you can watch at whatever FPS, whatever version you want, no region lock and no problems with interlacing compatibility. The morons who willingly support Criterion and buy inferior, unfaithful releases with the argument "well, it's good because it supports my blu-ray player" deserve what they get.
4% slowdown is discernible, just like out-of-sync audio is, etc - if you played them side by side the 23.976 fps version would look unnatural and awkward due to the slowdown.

>Varda or Denis
no one said anything about them you stupid nigger

You can't simultaneously blame both Criterion and US audiences for this specific issue.

>how is making a product appropriate for their market "cancer"? they literally didn't have a choice.
Yes they do. There's no valid reason for why players/TVs can't play back any video interlaced or not. On PC you can playback anything - if consumers wanted the same for blu-rays, they could simply protest. I'm 100% sure you can also buy PAL-compatibly players, just how you can get region-unlocked players.
And if Criterion cared about remaining faithful and not butchering their releases, they would never attempt to justify it as "just a 4% slowdown goy, we have no choice". That's bullshit, it's better to save face and not release it at all.

>in advertising PAL-compatible requirements
Criterion may be huge as far as "boutique" home video labels, but they have nowhere near the pull to facilitate that sort of change and influence millions of people to suddenly go out and buy new equipment to "properly" watch a dozen or so films in an already niche market. Be fucking realistic, you autist.

And this isn't anywhere close to the level of "anti-art."

After reading the justification from Criterion fanboys on various forums, yes, I can.

They could simply package duel-disk, one with the slowdown compatible with North American regions, and one that offers the original FPS. The choice would then be on the consumer, but there would be a choice at least.
>And this isn't anywhere close to the level of "anti-art."
It's deliberate and a business decision over valuing artistic integrity, so it is. They're willing selling an inferior version of the original and touting it as the definitive "remaster" or whatever other advertisement to their audience.

I have autism about streaming quality, so I buy their blu rays instead. It's based how autistic their film restoration companies are.

entry level bait

How are you on a board dedicated to tv/movies?

you'd rather the damage stay there? the point is to get it to look as close to as it did when it was released. the filmmakers surely didn't intend to have it fuck up their movie. and least Criterion (usually) avoids having transfers DNR'd to death if they can help it (e.g. the CC Third Man vs. the SC Third Man, and the CC Le Samourai vs. the Pathe Le Samourai)

It's questionable. I'd rather see some imperfections knowing the piece is as original as possible rather than an unknown amount of it "restored" with artistic liberties taken.

damn, the first time I saw this film was the Directors Cut and now I feel cheated

again, color grading is not always in Criterion's hands (nor are they the people directing these restorations). e.g., a good ongoing issue concerns restorations done by L'immagine Ritrovata which are color graded with film projection in mind and takes into account the color temp of the bulb in the projector. unfortunately, without alteration for digital video, this gives the image a yellow tint, but L'Immagine Ritrovata DOES NOT allow others to alter this coloring for blu-ray releases, and companies like Criterion are bound to it (or forced to use older, less detailed transfers, which also may or may not be totally "correct" in color or other ways). some recent Criterion/L'Immagine Ritrovata releases if you want to take a look are The Colour of Pomegranates and Death In Venice, and it's a shame because everyone knows the coloring is off

Not yet, I've been looking. They've got some really intrusive DRM, breaks with external monitors, etc and turns out the average streamfag is too tech illiterate to be able to bypass it even to take a screenshot.

Artists can change, and Criterion doesn't like being the arbiter of when an artist's vision has diverged too far from when he originally made the movie.

Besides, there are blu-ray transfers of Thief by other companies that are more faithful to the original film reel, Like Arrow's theatrical cut, if that's what you want.

That's what made me unsubscribe from Filmstruck. Hoping it actually comes to fruition this time.

Thank you, user. Sick of all of these wannabe critics taking the side of studio meddlers over the director's original intent.

>owning a game console
lmao
and how do you not have a smart tv? that's all they sell anymore

I must hurt knowing that you have the mentality of a 13 year-old girl

Where do you think I watch my Blu-rays, dipshit?

>>Artists can change
Doesn't matter, you can't retroactively grade your analog film piss blue and pass it off as authentic. Criterion breaks their "commitment" in many a release such as the Dekalog discussion here. Completely irrelevant mumbo-jumbo PR dialog, and you citing it as definitive proof of anything shows how far you're stretching. By that very same regard, Mann could have cut down Thief to a 20 minute short and Criterion would be valid in releasing it as the DC in place of theatrical cut.

>intent
worthless

Smart TVs spy on users, I refuse to connect mine to the internet. I connect my TV to my computer to watch films, but the DRM here doesn't allow that.

once again, you are blaming Criterion for things that are ultimately out of their hands, for problems either inherent to the North American home video market or in the field of film restoration and archiving

The service looks pretty good, hopefully it ushers in a wave of people discovering the great classics of cinema once the capeshit fad dies out

A fraction of NA BD players support PAL. If you're the kind of person who doesn't settle, you can buy the Arrow version. Had every north american BD player support PAL, I guarantee you that's what Criterion would have gone with.

Blu-ray, digital formats, and these limitations in general may be intrinsically different from how many artists would truly want their film seen. I imagine many don't even like the idea of watching their film a way other than in a single cinema theater with a 35mm projector and a professional projectionist, but compromises sometimes have to be made, and Criterion avoids them as much as realistically possible.

Because he's a newfag tourist that doesn't belong here.

>Hasn't seen Chunking

Fix that immediately user

That's not going to happen and you know it. Classic Film requires effort to view it. You have to sit down and actually pay attention to the dialogue.

Flicks are made so you can play with your phone and still understand what's going on.

It’s not Criterion’s fault that there are PAL and NTSC standards. They’re not TV manufacturers. They still spend a lot of money to restore classic movies and present them in the best quality possible while you act morally superior because you watch them for free on VLC.

If Criterion could release them at 25fps they would. But they are an American company making American DVDs for American TVs. It’s like getting mad about what side the steering wheel is on on an American Jaguar.

I very much enjoyed Julia Ross. I have to say if I watch at least one Kino a week the 80/a year price for Criterion is worth it to me.

>using forsen emotes on Yea Forums

God, I couldn't imagine watching any kind of film on a phone.

The internet has made it easier than ever to find an incredible array of great cinema that our ancestors could only ever dream of, yet throwaway flicks and generic blockbuster viewings are at an all-time high. What happened? There has to be some sort of economic formula to explain this shit.

It's called marketing

like clockwork

Oh I didn't mean watch it on your phone, although I do remember an acquaintance normie watching Fast and Furious movies off a janky Android pirate movie app.

I mean modern films are made knowing people will be looking at Facebook while the movie is playing. You cannot enjoy a classic mainstream American movie like a Billy Wilder film while you have a phone taking your attention. You sure as hell can watch Capeshit though.

btw who else was /filmstruck/ here

>A solid collection of Kino for less than $7 a month
Fuck yeah I'm charter.

Ayo yaahhhh criterion lit af bruh

Me I miss it but this seems like it will be better

I tried Filmstruck but I always had buffering problems. And no my internet was not to blame I have had no problem with Amazon Prime/Netflix/Whatever. Frankly I'm really glad Filmstruck closed because I'm not having that problem.

woah capeshit and sneed threads
so fun woaaaah

>Enjoyed 8 1/2? Watch 1-7

Whats 1-7??

He records himself at work

I would totally sign up for 5 or 7 bucks a month...10 is a bit much for my poor ass

Check on it occasionally. I bet they'll run promotions where they'll drop it down to the Charter rate which will be $90 a year.

Clean your room and wash your penis

it's kind of a funny joke, but the number actually refers to how Fellini had directed five movies, codirected one, and made two shorts, or in other words had directed 7 and a half movies, so this was his eighth and a half film.

so 1-7 (and a half) would mean to go through his films, the one he codirected and the shorts. it was a joke but it also had a real meaning.

I have it on my nas but I've never bothered. It's been in my backlog like 5 years now.

I said watch it.

Yeah, dude. The sex scene with Kawakami is great.

I bet I keep overlooking it because my copy's from hdchina so the title is written 堕落天使.

Just finished watching Wise Blood and it was kino af.

You've convinced me dude. I gonna go drop a few hundred bucks on a PAL Blu-ray player just so a film won't be 3 seconds longer than it should be.

OK hotshot what is Criterion missing if anything at all?

Not even sorry

0 Zulawski

Only 1 Weerasethakul and it's the second worst one

i love Criterion and all, but they aren't the end all be all

>1 Weerasethakul and it's the second worst one
impossible, since Syndromes and Uncle Boonmee are worse

most mid-tier restaurant entrees are almost twice that, or that's lower than the cost of three beers at a bar. how bad off are you where $11 bucks for hundreds of historically significant or noteworthy films that you can rewatch as much as you want is a non-starter?

Gonna check out Seventh Seal tonight, lads. Heard nothing but good things out of it.

Is there any way to get this shit working on either PS4 or Visio TV? It's not liking my monitor

Never ever coming to the ps4.

Is the volume really quiet for anyone else? at least on the Roku app? I have to crank the volume up all the way for it to be adequate

What device with a built-in wired connection can get this shit (Other than PC). I want to watch it on my TV and I am willing to dish out like $30, but I also don't want to dish out for a specific adapter, and our building's wifi is shit

There isn't as much point to publishing a work that is ubiquitous. Part of Criterion's mission is built around making films available that might not otherwise be easy to find.

Godfather's a great movie, but why waste resources putting out a film everyone's already seen when you can put out a lesser known, yet arguably equal work done by one of the film greats?

This is some good shit

That was the first "old movie" I ever watched. I bought some "Hitcocks Greatest HIts" pack at Walmart in High School for $10 back in the day and that was the first movie.

Ever since I have been in love movies.

Why did they get Armageddon then?

A shit ton of stuff
Zulawski is the most gaping obvious missing director
They're doing good work don't get me wrong, but there are thousands of movies that will never end up on criterion for one reason or another, and they're much more entertaining than the low-end criterion stuff, with a few being better than even the best criterions.

Here is two good sites for whats actually on Criterion Channel since their search is fucking shit
