Don’t Forget That Criterion Tealed Two Classics in ’25 — “Sorcerer” Last June and “EWS” In November

by

Posted on 6.24.25: William Friedkin would turn in his grave if news of Criterion’s defacement of their Sorcerer 4K Bluray could somehow be communicated to his afterlife realm. Freidkin to Criterion: “How dare you….how fucking dare you saturate my 1977 masterpiece with grotesque teal-green tones…you don’t flood your Carnal Knowledge 4K with teal so why … Read more

Felonious Criterion Teal-Poisoning…Busted!

by

All hail the glorious menonfilmpod…@williammendoza, @adumbowerz, @Commihater, @ryancownie…brave men who are standing up to Criterion criminality as far as the teal-saturated Eyes Wide Shut 4K Bluray is concerned. HE to readership: Do you have eyes? Everything that was blue in previous versions is now tealed….even the formerly black cloaks of the orgy guys have been … Read more

Criterion Teal Monster Reappears on “Night Moves” 4K/Bluray

by

The twisted green-teal perversion of color schemes on certain Criterion 4k/Blurays continues apace. What is mentally wrong with the Criterion engineers who’ve been pulling this teal shit since 2018 or thereabouts? Are they on drugs? Have they gone whacko? DVD Beaver‘s Gary Tooze (recently posted): “The new Criterion 4K/Bluray disc (3.25.25) is uncomfortably green and … Read more

Will Criterion Teal-ize “The Great Escape”?

by

Now that Criterion has established itself as an outfit that likes to add teal tints to highly regarded classics (Teorema, Midnight Cowboy, Bull Durham, Sisters), I’m naturally dreading what might happen with their forthcoming Great Escape Bluray, which will street on 5.12. Make no mistake — with four teal-tinted disasters to their credit, a Criterion … Read more

Criterion Teal Disease Infects “Teorema”

by

To go by frame captures provided by DVD Beaver’s Gary W. Tooze, the Criterion teal monsters are back, and this time they’ve desecrated Pier Paolo Pasolini‘s Teorema. Once again, natural or subdued blues have apparently been rendered with a garish teal-green tint. Look at the images. A year and a half ago I asked Tooze … Read more

Criterion Teal Gremlin Returns

by

In the wake of Criterion’s garishly tealed-up Midnight Cowboy and Bull Durham Blurays, the teal monster has re-appeared in Criterion’s forthcoming Bluray of Brian DePalma‘s Sisters (’73). Or it has, at least, according to frame captures posted by DVD Beaver’s Gary. W Tooze. HE to Tooze: “This continuing Criterion teal thing is crazy. WHAT IS … Read more

Criterion Teal Monster Strikes Again

by

What’s up with Criterion’s penchant for teal-tinting? Whatever’s blue, they’ll turn it into teal. Six weeks ago the ludicrous teal-tinting of Criterion’s Midnight Cowboy Bluray (“Green Cowboy…Eegadz“, “Criterion’s Teal Tint Insanity“) was revealed. Now we have the teal-tinting of Ron Shelton‘s Bull Durham to contend with by way of Criterion’s forthcoming Bluray. The DVD Beaver … Read more

HE to Larry Kasdan: Have You Allowed Criterion Lizards to Teal “Body Heat”?

by

Criterion’s 4K digital restoration of Body Heat, supervised by editor Carol Littleton and approved by director Lawrence Kasdan, pops on 5.19.26. If they’ve tealed this thing, there will be hell to pay…that’s all I’m going to say. Body Heat is all sweaty colors…hazy sunlight, amber-lighted bars and street lights. William Hurt‘s Ned Racine seems to … Read more

Criterion’s Latest Teal Mischief?

by

Three months ago I posted an “uh-oh” riff about Criterion’s 4K UHD Network Bluray. The thought was “dear god, what if the same Criterion vandals who teal-tinted Stanley Kubrick‘s Eyes Wide Shut…what if they inject a similar greenish-teal flavoring into Network?” Pure speculation, of course, as the release date was three months off. But now, … Read more
