Can someone convince me to buy or not buy manchurian candidate on Crit? "This new digital transfer was created in 4K resolution on a Scanity film scanner from the 35mm original camera negative at Deluxe in Culver City, California. A previous video transfer supervised by John Frankenheimer was used as a reference for the new master. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, and warps were manually removed using MTI's DRS, while Digital Vision's Phoenix was used for small dirt, grain, noise management, jitter, and flicker." |

Hard no. Scanity sucks. So does Culver City.

The Manchurian Candidate is a movie I don't need to be convinced to buy on Criterion, cause it's a fantastic movie that deserves to be in any collection. Plus, I already bought it, so...  I'm just ashamed it took me this long to get it. |

I kept it modest this time around. Picked up Fail-Safe, Age of Innocence, Grand Budapest Hotel and replaced my Devil's Backbone that a coworker borrowed and never gave back years ago. Maybe I'll pick up The Great Escape but I might wait until the November sale so it will help qualify for free shipping. Hopefully they release Irishman in time for that sale too.

Not yet, but considering tomorrow's my birthday, I might treat myself to one or two more. I'm thinking about Following, so I can round out Christopher Nolan's pre-Tenet filmography in my collection. There's also Silence of the Lambs, The Royal Tenenbaums and Pan's Labryinth among others also on my shortlist, along with The Princess Bride. But I've heard the packaging of that one looks cool, but isn't very shelf-friendly. |
