    This is the very reas­on I’ve just inves­ted in a multi-region bluray player.

    Are we not men? The ori­gin­al and the best. Jeez to be 12 again and watch­ing this on Million Dollar Movie.

    My movie-loving father­’s first memory of lov­ing movies: at age 8 in 1932, walk­ing home with his two lifelong best-friends from a Vidalia GA show­ing of ISLAND OF LOST SOULS and, after a cat yowled from a nearby bush, run­ning in stark ter­ror the last four blocks.
    He lived to tell that story to a great-grandson.

    In a few years, Criterion has man­aged to release all of my wish­list “lost films”: ACE IN THE HOLE, TWO-LANE BLACKTOP, the War Trilogy, the forth­com­ing WORLD ON A WIRE, etc. etc. and now this. Dreams Never End. The only one remain­ing is COCKFIGHTER…

    Criterion is doing WORLD ON A WIRE? That’s confirmed?

    bill – I’m almost pos­it­ive they said some­thing to that effect, but at the very least, the Janus was behind the re-release, which as far back as I can remem­ber, always res­ults in a Criterion release for home video.

    WORLD ON A WIRE is already avail­able for stream­ing on Hulu Plus and it looks great.

    Unofficially con­firmed. Whatever that means. Unless the Fassbinder Foundation is still miffed over BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ, I’d put money on it being out next year.

    Scott – I think I did hear about the Janus con­nec­tion and prob­ably con­nec­ted the same dots. I just want to know for sure, damn it.
    Laithtippler – Why is the Fassbinder Foundation miffed over BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ? I still haven’t seen it, mind you, but what could Criterion have done to make them angry?

    “Miffed” was prob­ably an over­state­ment. They were peeved that the 25fps/PAL ori­gin­al had a dif­fer­ent, “wrong” run­ning time once the con­ver­sion was made to 30fps/NTSC. Real techno purism/geekery that amoun­ted to a very small controversy.

    No, we are Devo.
    Sorry.
