Kan echter ook zijn dat ik in de war ben met Kagemusha qua speelduur...

Volgens IMDB is er van Ran maar 1 "playtime", bij Kagemusha zijn er verschillende speelduren.
Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Als die UK-uitgave van Ran een re-issue is van de HD DVD-versie dan zou ik er maar niet al te veel van verwachten.
We wachten af...

Monsoon Wedding
Synopsis Cultures and families clash in Mira Nair’s exuberant Monsoon Wedding, a mix of comedy and chaotic melodrama concerning the preparations for the arranged marriage of a modern upper-middle-class Indian family’s only daughter, Aditi. Of course there are hitches—Aditi has been having an affair with a married TV host; she’s never met her husband to be, who lives in Houston; the wedding has worsened her father’s hidden financial troubles; even the wedding planner has become a nervous wreck—as well as buried family secrets. But Nair’s celebration is ultimately joyful and cathartic: a love song to her home city of Delhi and her own Punjabi family.

Z
Synopsis
A pulse-pounding political thriller, Greek expatriate director Costa-Gavras’s Z was one of the cinematic sensations of the late sixties, and remains among the most vital dispatches from that hallowed era of filmmaking. This Academy Award winner—loosely based on the 1963 assassination of Greek left-wing activist Gregoris Lambrakis—stars Yves Montand as a prominent politician and doctor whose public murder amid a violent demonstration is covered up by military and government officials; Jean-Louis Trintignant is the tenacious magistrate who’s determined not to let them get away with it. Featuring kinetic, rhythmic editing, Raoul Coutard’s expressive vérité photography, and Mikis Theodorakis’s unforgettable, propulsive score, Z is a technically audacious and emotionally gripping masterpiece.
Disc Features
- New, restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by cinematographer Raoul Coutard
- Audio commentary featuring film historian Peter Cowie
- New interviews with Costa-Gavras and Coutard
- Archival interviews with Costa-Gavras; producer-actor Jacques Perrin; actors Yves Montand, Irène Papas, and Jean-Louis Trintignant; and Vassilis Vassilikos, author of the book Z

Wings of Desire
Synopsis
Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, and dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality to come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry. And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art.
DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:
- New, restored high-definition digital transfer, supervised and approved by director Wim Wenders (with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition)
- Audio commentary featuring Wenders and actor Peter Falk

Howards End
Synopsis
The pinnacle of the decades-long collaboration between director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant, Howards End is a thought-provoking, luminous vision of E. M. Forster’s cutting 1910 novel about class divisions in Edwardian England. Emma Thompson won an Academy Award for her dynamic portrayal of Margaret Schlegel, a flighty yet compassionate middle-class intellectual whose friendship with the dying wife (Vanessa Redgrave) of rich capitalist Henry Wilcox (Anthony Hopkins) commences an intricately woven tale of money, love, and death that encompasses the country’s highest and lowest social echelons. With a brilliant, layered script by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (who also won an Oscar) and a roster of gripping performances, Howards End is a work of both great beauty and vivid darkness, and one of cinema’s greatest literary adaptations.
Disc Features
- High-definition digital transfer, supervised by cinematographer Tony Pierce-Roberts (with uncompressed Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition)
- New appreciation of the late Ismail Merchant by director James Ivory
- Building “Howards End,” a documentary featuring interviews with Ivory, Merchant, Helena Bonham Carter, costume designer Jenny Beavan, and Academy Award–winning production designer Luciana Arrighi
- The Design of “Howards End,” a detailed look at the costume and production designs for the film, including original sketches
- The Wandering Company (1984), a 50-minute documentary about the history of Merchant Ivory Productions
- Original 1992 behind-the-scenes featurette
- Original theatrical trailer
- PLUS: An essay by critic Kenneth Turan

Dušan Makavejev
Free Radical
Synopsis
There’s never been another filmmaker quite like Dušan Makavejev. Even in the 1960s, when all of cinema’s steadfast rules seemed to be breaking down and artists such as Godard, Cassavetes, and Marker were dissolving the boundaries between fiction and documentary, Yugoslavia’s Makavejev stood alone. His films about political and sexual liberation were revolutionary, raucous, and ribald. Across these, his wild, collagelike first three films, Makavejev investigates—with a tonic mix of earnestness and whimsy—love, death, and work; the legacy of war and the absurdity of daily life in a Communist state; criminology and hypnosis; strudels and strongmen.

Gisteren heb ik m'n eerste Criterion Blu-ray's besteld. M'n speler is nog niet regiovrij, maar dat gebeurt zo snel mogelijk en die actie van Barnes and Noble vond ik toch wel erg aantrekkelijk.
Ik heb de volgende titels besteld:
- The 400 Blows
- The Seventh Seal
- The Man Who Fell To Earth
- In the Realm of the Senses
- The Third Man
De rest komt er ook wel in, maar dit was een goed begin vond ik zelf. Bovendien duurt de actie nog tot 2 augustus. En nu nog het ombouwen van mijn Blu-ray speler .
If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. And my straw reaches acrooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake... I drink your milkshake!
Wat voor actie is dat bij Barnes and Noble?

Heb zelf interesse in zo'n 8 titels. twijfel over 1 grote bestelling (15 dollar verzending) of 2 pakjes van 4 (ruim 20 dollar verzending in totaal)
Dan minder kans op douane...(kleiner, minder van waarde)...
Met name de Eclipse boxen zijn goed te doen zo!

Valt wel mee. Ik heb er nog maar een paar keer eerder besteld en de eerste keer was dat het behoorlijk grote boek The Stanley Kubrick Archives. En die is er gewoon doorgekomen. Ook kies ik vaak voor Priority verzenden, en dat helpt ook vaak (in mijn geval, dan). Nu weet ik ook niet in wat voor een doos vijf Blu-ray's verzonden worden, maar ik denk/hoop toch dat ze er gewoon doorkomen. Maar we zullen zien.
En Coen, dank je voor die extra code , kan ik meteen de John Cassavetes box (weer) bestellen.
If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. And my straw reaches acrooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake... I drink your milkshake!
Die code is vaker te gebruiken. Ik ga straks 2 orders plaatsen waarbij ik dus 2x 20% van het duurste item krijg (6 dollar per order).

Ugh net nu ik helemaal blut ben is er een 50% korting aktie. Wat betreft douane problemen ben ik best vaak de *** met amazon. Kleine pakketjes of grote maakt niet uit. Had daarover nog gebeld om te en alles boven de 20 euro uit de US moet je voor betalen. Priority Shipping ga ik eens proberen kost wel weer duurder. Ben benieuwd hoe de ervaringen met Barnes & Nobles zijn.

Sinds tijden dan toch weer eens twee Criterions gekocht (Walkabout en Under the volcano), die B&N-actie is inderdaad interessant. Hoewel ik me toch een beetje bezwaard voel om in het bd-tijdperk 2 NTSC-dvd's met mono-geluid te kopen (waarvan Walkabout niet eens anamorf is), wil ik deze films toch graag zien. Met alle niet-CC-uitgaves is bij beiden ook vanalles mis en bd-uitgaves van deze films zie ik de komende 5 jaar nog niet verschijnen
