@bewarethebeastman Another good option is Bombay Electronics. I got mine from there. It's a Samsung and does 4K/3D/2D/DVD all region free. Look for Dolbyvision/HDR10/Dolby Atmos support if those are important to you.

I was not watching this one or had been checking these editions, was after catwoman edition but obviously too late now. Never m mind money saved.

No worries. Catwoman sold out first, so we adjusted the GB to Penguin edition only. Members who signed up early got the benefit of selecting either or both editions.

I'd better follow this one so I don't miss out like I did on The Shining group buy.

I appreciate that the restrictions are still having a significant impact, but the Joker pre-order still went ahead last month, and the Johnny Mnemonic pre-order has been confirmed for May 23, so there's still hope! 🤞

Pre-order dates are undetermined, but MP will have a group buy for this when the time is right. Probably next month 😃

Awesome! Welcome to MP 😁👍 

Welcome @Housemd395 !!! You are definitely in the right place 😂

Is preorder still due this month? Really looking forward to this one! 

I highly doubt it. There are still a lot of restrictions in place in Italy that have impacted production and shipping.

^^ Hate to labour this funny point but just had a thought;

The letters in the following word "anniversary" are a mixture of lower case and upper case, as perhaps a child would write it.

That would explain the mis-numbered 35, if say a child wrote it.

It's been a while since I've last watched this. Was there a scene in which one of the kids writes a note with numbers?

Interesting...🤔

 

edit: hmm, now the poster (at top) shows the correct number XXXV. 😀

Maybe you just imagined it? 🤔

Joking, it was a font issue. CM fixed it and we updated the beauty shot. 😄

@HomeHomeHome 

Wow, what an amazing collection! I'd love to see a Criterion award someday @extantsrevenge 😁

Last night I tried to put a protective cover on this edition.

 

I'm not an protective covers expert, and I tried to use a SCF11. But in my opinion it fits but too tight.

 

Too tight for me. I don't think it's good to keep it well.

 

I have another protective cover, unknown name, I don't know where I got it from, where it fits inside ... but it's too big.

 

What suitable protective case do you use with this edition?

 

Thank you.

 

PD: Is there a thread to talk about protective covers in general? I have some more questions like this, but I have not found the right place to do it.  I have some more questions like this, but I have not found the right place to do it, beyond protective covers for steelbooks or those that MP currently sells.  

 

I'd love it if we had a thread for members to discuss and report which editions fit into which protectors. A master list would be awesome! There have been so many size changes over the years it's hard to keep track. I know very little about protectors unfortunately, but lots of others do. If you want to you can create a thread here. 

I have a bunch of criterion editions I just love. They've done some of the best from one of my favorite directors, Terry Gilliam:

#37 Time Bandits UK (1981)

#51 Brazil UK (1985)

#61 Monty Python's Life of Brian UK (1979)

#175 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas USA (1998)

#764 The Fisher King USA (1991)

#903 Jabberwocky UK (1977)

Except for Jabberwocky (which I haven't seen in a long time and need to revisit), these are movies I've watched over and over and still enjoy immensely. I'd love it if one day they did The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and 12 Monkeys, two more amazing movies.

As much as I love my 25th anniversary box-set edition (2010), I'm definitely on board for this sweet Steel as well. 🙂

 

edit: which brings to mind, surely CM would know this would be a 35th anniv release?

Or perhaps (aka; probably) that needs Studio approval to include in advert.

Which means pay more for the license.

It's there! Upper left hand corner. It's the (IIIVth?) anniversary 😂 And yes if I remember school correctly it should really be XXXV. Unless those are very skinny X's 🤭

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome! Still trying to find my way around. Heard about MP through Reddit when I saw a post for the CMA edition of Goonies. Trying to find the GB for that right now lol.

Hi @TechSpec924 and welcome to MP! We won't be launching the GB for this release until it gets a bit closer. Things are moving kinda slow right now due to the restrictions in place in Italy to combat the coronavirus, but you're definitely in the right place for information on premium releases and group buys! I suggest you follow the release thread for now (Home->Steelbooks->ITALY->Cine Museum or HERE and click the "follow" button in the upper right corner) to keep notified. Also, here's a great thread you can follow to keep updated on all GBs. Have a look around!

Sure, that sounds just about as interesting as another "Keep sealed vs. Open them up" thread! 🙄

Instant order for me,  one of my favourite films 😃 

Me too! And I didn't like the art on the Best Buy 4K steelbook at all. This one is tons nicer.

I thought that adding the different cuts became more and more standard these days, but i might be wrong. Do you have a few titles in mind ? (Where the cuts are not added)  and yes, the japanese cut of Johhny is SD only but as a VHS born, SD is good enough for me 😉

JL Snyder cut? 🤣 Actually there are lots I'm sure but I'll give you just one. HDZeta's silver release of blade runner was Final Cut only. That didn't put me off at all.  

And don't even get me started on releases without 3D discs! Or blu-ray only releases when 4k is available.

@airwins OK but the japanese cut is not present in this release. 

when an old  movie has different cuts i expect them to be offered in a new  premium release.

no idea about the rights, but there is also an FMV game, would have been a great add too  (even just as a non playable video track)

As a collector I would love it if each premium release had all available versions. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case due to rights issues or cost. In this case, I'm glad to get the extra scenes as bonus features. Sadly, the full Japan cut is only available in SD (720p) quality as far as I know.

Beauty Shot! 

Front will be glossy, with the title and Willy's eye embossed. The key on the back cover will also be embossed! Yes, that's right, embossing on both front and back! 😁

This going to be an amazing release. Artwork for the slips are in progress and will be shared when ready.

Just paid invoice🥳. I believe it was the full total? Also, the itemized receipt didn’t show the protector listed? Does anyone know if that’s usually the case?

Hi @FlanInTheFace I've moved your post here to the Info & Questions section. The release threads are for discussing release info and opinions only. Questions about invoices, shipping, issues, etc. all go here. With that said, since you have specific questions on your invoice please send a PM to @Masterblaster so he can look into it for you. You can add the staff running the GB to the PM as well (in this case it's @extantsrevenge and @icewire). Thanks

Bugger missed this one did it just close a few days back.

Sorry, just closed yesterday. I posted a warning on Wednesday in I&Q that closing was going to happen soon. It’s a good idea to follow both the release and I&Q threads to stay updated.

Been looking for this one and it’s in mint condition. Love it. 

@KillerBoots_tm oooooh, I'm jealous! It's one of the few BR editions I don't have. As you say, these ain't cheap!!!

Oh, so very much in for this little gem !  🤩

 

edit: So, CM has elected to start a new Line, called "Cult" now?

I'm curious if this will replace a previous Label Line or begin a new one?  🤔

It's a new line of exclusive mediabooks! The other CM lines will continue 😁👍

Group Buy is now open!!!

Have you ever lost it while playing a game (single campaign or multiplayer) and destroyed a console/controller/game disc in frustration?

Please state the collateral damage and the game/s responsible for it 😁

I flew into a rage once playing Barbie's Princess Party when one of the NPCs showed up wearing the same outfit as me.
