Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Criterion April Blu-ray titles: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Blow Out, Le Cercle Rouge, more
From the looks of things, The Criterion Collection will be gracing us with another brilliant slate of Blu-ray discs come April.

If I were you, Universal, I’d either renew Criterion’s license to the title, or release the Blu-ray in a package fit to store the DVDs along side their new high-def counterpart. Sigh…A fan can dream.
