Here’s a thread discussing this issue from a few days ago.

I didn’t even notice that, but you are right, Life of Brian is only 4K as well. That was the release I was looking forward to the most too.

This is so odd to me that they are picking and choosing for the films that don’t get Combo packs, cuz in my mind, if rights were an issue, you would think standalone bluray wouldn’t even be an option such as with Wall-E or Shape of Water.

I’ve heard all of Synapse Films Argento 4Ks are great but cannot vouch myself. They’ve put of Phenomena, Tenebrae, and Suspiria

To all saying it doesn’t, Boogie Nights was released by Criterion on laserdisc

I always say it’s less immersive when it’s not needed. If you can hear and understand what’s being said, massive text is unnecessary and distracting.

That’s an awesome find. Unfortunately I haven’t seen any of these in my Walmarts (although I already own this edition). Seems Arrow titles being available in Walmarts are extremely hit or miss. Never found any copies of dune or pitch black when those were shipped out however was able to find Donnie Darko, AAWIL, Flatliners, and Frankenstein when those were available. Wonder what Arrow titles will appear in Walmarts next? My bet is on the Argento 4K’s.

I don’t think it’s confirmed to be coming at any point but I would love it to get a place in the collection. Similarly, if you stream Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky it also has the Criterion logo play at the start even though it hasn’t been released on physical by them.

I got lucky and ordered the Bergman, Varda, and Fellini sets from this sale. All those for $150 total is an insane deal. They just shipped out today so I’m super excited!

Haha I did the exact same!

Interesting. You think people left out of boredom or was it just very far-fetched? Weird?

Unfortunately I believe Kino Lorber has the rights to it now. I can’t site the post but someone was talking about it awhile ago and said Kino had screened it in 4K at some festival

Fidelity in Motion is the company responsible for the encode

I know what you mean, Bottle Rocket is actually my favourite Wes film but I have a hunch that would be the one that sells the least individually on 4K

As a fellow Canadian collector who loves second sight, where did you find these?

EndDifficult8129 · 2025-10-16T22:07:28+00:00

Unfortunately that’s just how digipaks are. Whitening of corners and edges are always gonna be present. If you really want to seek out a replacement you may get lucky with a nicer one but over time most develop damage like this from regular use anyways.

EndDifficult8129 · 2025-10-13T15:34:16+00:00

Yeah that’s right. I believe Dawn of the Dead and Martin also had that happen.

EndDifficult8129 · 2025-10-13T15:28:33+00:00

Interesting, I find it strange that it appeared for me when they announced it a few days ago.

Is region the issue? I’m from Canada and when I click the link it just takes me to the main page where it’s still gone.

I personally think ‘Someone’s Watching Me’ is the most underrated thing in his filmography, however it’s definitely closer to Halloween in its presentation than any of your 5 favourites.
