...ja uudis: http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/1366

See tähendab ühtlasi ka seda, et Euroopas ilmunud StudioCanal Collectioni filmid Criterion Collectionisse ei jõuagi, erinevalt enamuse ootustest. Saab näha, mida LG ette võtab.

Criterionile on see valus löök küll, kuid ma olen ilmselt üks vähestest, kes selles ka midagi head näeb: head filmid jõuavad kiiremini Blu-ray'le.

Studio Canal Collectioni esimese laine väljaanded on minule küll ülevaadete ja kommentaaride põhjal siiani väga hea mulje jätnud, mõnigaste viletsate eranditega (kohutava kvaliteediga Ran, vigase 5.1 heliga The Deer Hunter).

Ja Lionsgate on ainult levitaja, plaadid valmivad Studio Canali, Optimumi ja Kinowelti koostöös.
