Criterion Additions

I found an error on the closed captioning/subtitles of the Short Cuts DVD, do I win a prize? Gimme a cookie!

house!

and Paths of Glory! Hopefully this means they'll begetting the other MGM Kubrick titles too...

Wings of Desire bd is $20 on amazon.com lightning deals right now.

amazon.ca has night and the city dvd for $16.75

The hint in the latest newsletter is a bunch of monkeys on a motorcycle; image name is "wackymonkees." Head, maybe?

are there 12 monkeys?

Haven't seen them recently but not too long ago there used to be these guys selling screenplays on the streets of New York and they always had one for "Twelve Monkees."

Four, actually. And the motorcycle maybe = Easy Rider = Jack Nicholson?

I really want a Criterion of Head, is what I'm driving at here.

Sounds possible! I've never successfully deciphered one of those clues

The people over at Criterion Forum seem convinced it's Head, and they're right more often than not. And apparently Sony/Columbia licensed Head and some other New Hollywood pictures, possibly all together in a box set- Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Last Picture Show, King of Marvin Gardens, A Safe Place, and Drive, He Said.

Yeah, rumor has it a BBS box is coming in December.

Where's subUrbia already??

had never heard of 'louie bluie' but 'crumb' is srsly an all time fav. it's hard for me to resist not buying it again just 2 hear the new commentary

NOVEMBER: Night of The Hunter, Antichrist, Modern Times & America Lost and Found: The BBS Story (7 films, 9 discs). All on Standard & Blu (The standard BBS box drops in December tho)

No Eclipse or Essential Art House titles.

Yeah the Crumb disc looks nice. I don't really buy DVDs, though

Any ideas on the bird/football pic in the Sept. newsletter?

not seen the pic ur referring to, but... 'kes'? it has a bird, and football.

Sept. newsletter just hit my inbox a couple hours ago. And I think you're right. Criterion forums seem to think it's Kes too.

Folks on the criterion forum think it's Kes as well.
(x-post)

that would be great! I've never seen that and it's not available in the US afaik

I have seen Kes twice, I think

December: The BBS box (standard def), Cronos (standard & blu), and Videodrome (blu).

No Eclipse or Essential Art House.

January: reissues of Shock Corridor & The Naked Kiss plus Broadcast News (all standard& blu) and also Army of Shadows & Robinson Crusoe On Mars as stand-alone blus.

Not to mention Eclipse Series 25: Basil Dearden’s London Underground (SAPPHIRE, THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, VICTIM & ALL NIGHT LONG)

Awesome Dan Clowes packaging for those new Fuller discs.

new cartoon clue: an owl wearing headphones saying "what?"

?

Blow Out?

oh man, that would be awesome.

having dinner with president of criterion nxt week

get me a job there!

Help me convince them to release a John Paizs box set!

February: Fish Tank, Still Walking, Sweet Smell of Success & Senso (all standard & blu), plus Amarcord & The Double Life of Véronique on blu.

No Eclipse announcement.

March: Au Revoir les Enfants and Yi Yi on blu, The Times of Harvey Milk, Topsy Turvy and The Mikado on standard and blu, Mikio Naruse set from Eclipse.

Pale Flower confirmed in latest newsletter.

big <3 for Criterion releasing the Allan King set, that's some fucking brilliant filmmaking

Lots of 2011 hints in here. I'm usually terrible at these, but I'm guessing a Wild Strawberries blu-ray, the Monroe/Einstein figure is practically a confirmation of Insignificance, and the globe/balloon s/he's playing with might be The Great Dictator? Also, reeeally hoping the suitcase with a sun inside is Kiss Me Deadly...

that guy is carlos, right

Boca del Cielo = Y tu mama tambien

That drawing has been circulating since New Years. Here is a key made by the folks @ Criterioncast.

Although they are missing the voluptuous dancing chick, which has been sourced elsewhere as (most likely) Silvana Magano in Bitter Rice or possibly Harriet Andersson in Summer With Monika. And the Sunday calendar has also been linked to People On Sunday.

And also the knife/coffee can is most likely White Material.

i watched insignificance recently - it's a pretty bad movie imo

it's ok but not crying out for the criterion treatment

iirc there's already an edition with a roeg commentary out there

they shd do _the front page_

There is, but it's a R2 PAL disc. I wish they were doing Eureka instead, but that's readily available (and for STUPID cheap too- just checked out Amazon to refresh my memory re: special features on the existing DVD, and they're selling it for $3 and change).

calendar could also be le cercle rouge

April: White Material, Kes & Blow Out (all standard & blu) Plus Fear & Loathing... & Sweetie on blu.

No Eclipse announcement.

Should also note that Kes will have Cathy Come Home as a bonus feature.

oh, and Le cercle rouge is also coming to blu.

Should also note that Kes will have Cathy Come Home as a bonus feature.

Magnificent Ambersons
