Raymond Carverography on IMDB, which is the first, most basic device for a barebones (though caveat as often far from complete) search mechanism.marty wrote:In the Cannes Film Festival, Ray Lawrence's Jindabyne was based on a short story by Raymond Carver (the same story as featured in Altman's Short Cuts) ...
Does anyone else know what other features and shorts were based on any story written by Raymond Carver?

There was talk of this possibly going out of print, with New Line folding into WB, so I ordered it from DVDPlanet. A week later, I got an email with two paragraphs of gibberish and then it said that my order had been canceled. I checked my account on dvdplanet.com, and sure enough it has been canceled. I reordered from Amazon. Weird situation, though. I've fired off an email to Criterion to see if Short Cuts is going OOP or if it was just DVDPlanet weirdness.

Out of stock at Amazon.com, buy.com, overstock.com, bestprices.com, very few under $30 at amazon marketplace and half.com. Doesn't show up at DVDPlanet or DD; on order at DVDPacific, etc.
I guess that is another confirmation that the book edition is going/has gone out of print.
For those that were burned by the short-notice OOP of Tokyo Olympiad, now appears to be the time to score the bigger edition of Short Cuts for anywhere sub-$40.

Do you want the book of short stories with the set? If yes, then get the set with the book. If you don't care then perhaps get the set without the book. You can also buy the CC and then buy the book separately from Amazon.psufootball07 wrote:Since both versions of this DVD are still available on many online marketplaces, any suggestions as to whether I should purchase the new release or Criterions original release?

Re: 265 Short Cuts
This printing was released a while ago. The book that accompanied it before went out of print so Criterion could no longer include it and redid the packaging in the clear case.

A new member signed up to answer a benign question from two years ago that was already answered. Weird.

Actually, sadly, that's the least weird thing a newly registered member has done lately.

This is half my fault. When I approved that post I didn't bother to look at the dates for the posts it was responding to. I just looked to see if it was responding to an actual discussion, which it seemed to be, and approved away.

I've spent nine hours of my life watching this movie and I would gladly devote another nine.

Re: 265 Short Cuts
I'm really glad the Luck, Trust And Ketchup doc was shot on cheap VHS. Somehow, seeing the actors in character or waiting to be filmed dressed in character enhances that real life quality expressed in the stories and ultimately on film, in a quality similar to home movies I remember.

Re: 265 Short Cuts
Are there any chances of this title getting upgraded to blu-ray? (Licensed from New Line)
I found a used copy that includes the book today for about $14, wondering if there is an upgrade what the chances are for the book, slim?
(Since "Man Who Fell To Earth" and "Two Lane Blacktop" didnt get their books when BD upgrades happened)

Re: 265 Short Cuts
I don't know about the book, but I don't see why Criterion can't upgrade. Warner Brothers has never released it on any format, don't know why they would now.

Re: 265 Short Cuts
If you really like Carver, you should just buy the individual books that contained those short stories instead of settling for Criterion's little book. You can find good, paperback copies for really cheap, and you'll have something comprehensive instead of just what Altman picked out for the film.

Re: 265 Short Cuts
A good single-volume alternative is Where I'm Calling From. It's his last collection and is a really good selection of 37 stories, 7 of which hadn't been published in any of the earlier collections.
