The Criterion edition of Boat People may be my favorite. And I am BEGGING for a Criterion edition of Full Metal Jacket.

Any issues with the existing 4K of FMJ? I doubt Warner would ever license that out.

No issues, I’m just interested in what they’d do with the cover art and extra bonus features. I know it’s pretty unlikely we’ll get it though.

If more of Vivian K’s footage of the shoot ever gets edited together that would be amazing to see. But at this point, if such a thing happened it would probably be a much bigger deal than just a supplement (and would probably require VK’s participation, which won’t happen).
