Re: Criterion Web Site
From before:
Looks like this will be an ongoing thing - to offer sales based upon the Hulu+ theme of the week. Wonder if they'll ever do any new releases (though it would be limited to Janus titles). Either way, seems like a rather interesting idea.
Now:
Week 2 of Hulu+ tie-in sales, and we get the following:
Good Morning
Complete Vigo (I assume both Bluray and DVD)
Ratcatcher
Murmur of the Heart
I guess I can delete and re-post/edit this as the new sale arrives - for those interested.

This week's 50% off Hulu tie-in
Bear in mind that The Blob should be getting a Blu-ray upgrade shortly.

Re: Criterion Web Site
This week's 50% off theme is "lady ghosts." I suspected last week's selection was partially to unload old stock of The Blob before the new edition gets released. I wonder if this means the Kwaidan upgrade is finally happening too. Or perhaps an Ugetsu blu.

Their Facebook page says to check out five of their favorites, but I'm only seeing four (Ugetsu, Kuroneko, House, and Kwaidan). Anyone know if there's supposed to be a fifth as well?

Re: Criterion Web Site
Fuck, I thought it was "ghastly ladies" and I'd be able to get Tiny Furniture for 50% off.

VanDerWerff would win, because you'd just fall back on the "why can't anyone take a joke???" routine.

This week's Hulu Special has a whopping two titles available at 50% off (why, that's almost three titles!).

Re: Criterion Web Site
Criterion doesn't have streaming rights for Make Way for Tomorrow (it is a Universal film), so it isn't eligible for the Hulu deal.

Do they have rights for La Strada!? Talk about tear inducing!

Re: Criterion Web Site
Probable but not necessarily so. Brute Force is also an Universal title and is up on Hulu. It is also possible that they just haven't got around to putting it up yet.dwk wrote:Criterion doesn't have streaming rights for Make Way for Tomorrow (it is a Universal film), so it isn't eligible for the Hulu deal.

Brute Force was licensed from Upcoast Film Consultants, Inc. not Universal

Re: Criterion Web Site
The licensing info on the Brute Force page says Universal Pictures.

Re: Criterion Web Site
not that this really matters, but here is a scan of the back of the Brute Force DVD
In the licensing note it says "Under exclusive license from Upcoast Film Consultants Inc. © MCMXLVII by Universal Pictures Company, Inc."
I don't know how Upcoast came to own Brute Force, but they do. (Brute Force and Naked City just don't fit in with the rest of their catalog.)
