Daisuke's reaction to the CRITERION COLLECTION SEPTEMBER 2024 Release Announcement 

I always thought it was weird that life during wartime got in the collection long before happiness. Seeing it get announced today, I’ve never pre-ordered a movie faster. Now my friends can think I’m a disgusting freak for loving this movie (in 4K)

The Long Good Friday and Happiness are the films that I’m the most intrigued with that are coming September. Thank you for covering the September releases Daisuke, I hope you’re doing well. Have a great evening and have a great week. Take care!

Thank you, Daisuke, for taking time out of your vacation to make this video. I always wait for you to make these Criterion announcements, so if you waited till your return, I'd be anxiously waiting lol.

So happy to see Happiness made available again - hopefully in an uncut form and with appropriate mastering and colour grading. So excited for September already!

Your description of the Repo Man packaging has always made me interested. Seems like a movie I'd enjoy on top of it.

I legitimately screamed when I saw The Long Good Friday will be released. It's one of my favorite movies, plus it was out of print, so having it come back is incredible. I already own Repo Man, so I won't be getting one. I already pre-ordered LGF.

Happiness is a great film & has parts in it that are so uncomfortable. Knew it would get released eventually.

I’m just happy mostly that All of us strangers is getting not only an official blu ray, but a 4K as well. This was one of my favorite films of 2023 and I was worried the movie might’ve never get a release due to the shift of direction from 20th century studios. Either way, I’m just so happy that I can official own this great movie and one of the better LGBT movies I’ve watched

Looking forward to a lot of these! Also the upcoming Wim Wenders film Perfect Days which I saw and it’s excellent

Another great month from Criterion!!

Catching up on your announcements! What’s the closing song on this video? Sounds lovely.

wonder how much better new 4k scan of The Long Good Friday will be comparing to 2015 Arrow release. Excited for this!

"HelloOooOooOooOoo 🎰🪙!!!!!" Daisuke! Thank you for taking the time to make this video on your vacation! The only film I have seen/own out of these titles is *Repo Man* but you brought me so much excitement to look into the other films like you always do! I'm most looking forward to *The Long Good Friday* . It has always caught my eye when I've looked at the earlier titles in the Criterion collection. I love the different flavor a British gangster film can add to the genre. I wonder how it compares to the film *Mona Lisa* that also stars Bob Hoskins? At any rate, I hope you have an awesome time visiting these films when you receive them. In the meantime, I hope and pray the Beppu family are having the best of times together in Nevada as well as a beautiful start to Summer 2024! My favorite season! Cheers, my friend! 🌞

Wow indeed! What a fantastic batch of releases. I’m especially eyeing The Long Good Friday, Happiness and the Araki set.

Hey buddy. Glad to see your enjoying a vacation. Contrary to the love for the packaging of Repo Man, I'm hoping this upgrade will offer a standard case like Night of the Living Dead as I'm a little nutty about consistency. I gotta check out these other tittles...

Dude so hype!!!!!

Happiness just blew my mind.

All of us strangers has just had a bluray release here in the UK. Just got The Long Good Friday 4k, pleased about Gregg Araki and Todd Solondz releases. Repo man will be a nice upgrade.

I love REPO MAN but I will wait for reviews to see how significant the 4K upgrade is from their Blu Ray release. I bought the Shaft 4K release and was comparing it on my 4K ready Sony with my old snapper case Warner's DVD (especially some darker indoor sequences) and while you could 'see' a difference it was not profound or life changing IMO. Maybe this is just the case with most 20th Century movies, or blame my gear I don't know. I could, for sure see the difference between between the Blu Ray and the 4K editions of the Universal release of The Trouble with Harry, so I know it's possible, but for something like, for example Criterion's Rules of the Game, there wasn't really any point in even upgrading to the Blue ray imo, so while I respect your enthusiasm and ability to cheerlead for the company's product I'll be waiting for actual reviews before making any preorders. That said I really do enjoy your positivity and love of the medium. Thank you for all your efforts.

The Salo criterion meme has officially been replaced by Happiness Criterion, this might mean Harmony Korine will be next on Criterion probably Julien Donkey Boy or Gummo

Araki and Solondz the same month? Might need some therapy after that.😆

Daisuke is slowly becoming my RU-vid comfort food.

Hey ☺️ Buddy have a great time in las Vegas. And don't gamble all your money. So you can buy more movies instead.😊
