View profile »I still have so many great films that are only available on DVD non-anamorphic with very sub-standard picture quality. I'm still waiting for Criterion to pick up Tuvalu. The film is a masterpiece but nobody else will raise a finger to give it any kind of a decent DVD release, let alone Blu-ray.

I know you have a hate on for Criterion because they released Armageddon and Benjamin Button, and while I think it's safe to say we all think that that was stupid, I don't know why you are counting out the rest of the catalog. Show me where Criterion has released a disc that was not significantly better than previous releases of that same film.

I find it silly to criticize Criterion for what they're not. They don't release a lot of American indie films and have all but ignored Africa and Asia except for Japan. But that's what other studios are for. Criterion sticks to what they're good at and in recent years they've expanded their horizons somewhat with some B-horror films and avant garde cinema.
It would be great to have an equally well-funded label putting out African and Asian films, but I'm not going to criticize Criterion for not being the ones to do it. Their are thousands of great films that need a good DVD release - they put out about 4 a month. I don't expect them to get to everything.
