I took the liberty of dumping a couple films that appear as extras on other CC dvds, and the original poster omitted the Zatoichi titles already. Also note that some of these titles are availible under the Home Vision banner, but since Pale Flower crossed over, these too can be considered in play.

damn

what are the transfers like?

i've seen "11. Fire Over England [Korda, Alexander and William Howard (1:29:08) 1937]" on an absolutely appalling dvd

doubt criterion's hulu channel is available here :/

haha while im on -- u seem to know what's going on at criterion -- dyou know why 'the third man' is oop?

they lost the rights to lionsgate

August: Cul-De-Sac, The Killing*, Secret Sunshine, The Complete Jean Vigo & a remaster of Orpheus (all standard & blu), plus The Battle of Algiers & If... on blu.

Also: Eclipse Series 28: The Warped World of Koreyoshi Kurahara (five films)

*w/Killer's Kiss as an extra.

wonder when carlos is coming

I'm wondering too. Hopefully they are whipping up some awesome supplements.

Anyhoo, here's what's left from the New Years cartoon:

Wild Strawberries blu
Sunday Bloody Sunday (which may have been wishful thinking)*
Carlos
Kuroneko
Bitter Rice or Summer With Monika
Y tu mama tambien

*I kept this on since it is an important MGM title that one would think Criterion would be interested in putting out.

Sunday Bloody Sunday wasn't the clue. It was People On Sunday + Le Cercle Rouge.

I know that, but something tells me it could still be in play, even if it wasn't really the clued title(s) (FWIW, in the linked upthread Criterion Cast spec list, they thought it was SBS, and it seems highly likely it's one of the MGM titles in the pipeline. Triple clue anyone?).

Looks like a confirmation for Island of Lost Souls in the latest newsletter.

Criterion shared a still from Three Colors: Red on FB this morning. Color that a confirmation on the trilogy.

three "collars" in the email newsletter

September: Le beau serge, Les cousins, The Phantom Carriage and Carlos (all standard & blu), plus My Life As A Dog and 3 Women on blu.

No Eclipse announcement.

Wow. Rolling out the early Chabrols! And Sjostrom (sp)! Niiice.

fyi Barnes and Noble 50% off sale is on.

Gonna preorder "The Music Room" today. One of my favorite Satyajit Ray's.

I know I must be done with physical media when I'm not even remotely tempted by this anymore.

does criterion do streaming now or

yeah, on hulu+

not criterion but kino released a 3-disc buster keaton shorts collection today.

October: The Four Feathers, Kuroneko, Identification of A Woman & Island of Lost Souls (which for some reason is on the main page but not the "Coming Soon" page)--all standard & blu, plus Harakiri & Salo on blu.

Also: Eclipse Series 29: Aki Kaurismäki’s Leningrad Cowboys

D'oh! Silly me missed the tiny "page two button", where Island... & a Dazed and Confused blu are listed.

Belle de jour hinted in the newest email newsletter.

my god the double disc Sweet Smell of Success is a thing of beauty.

Alright, today was the end of my B&N Criterion sale run. 12 is way past my original limit.

Hey, Kino is fixing to release David Holzman's Diary.

I'm making a run tomorrow before the sale ends to pick up Jubilee and an undetermined blu-ray. Maybe the Solaris reissue, who knows.

promised myself i would only get 6. got 16. :(

though I got the Pierrot Le Fou off the website, which is oop.

Got Jubilee off the website, and spent way too much at my local shop: Solaris and Vivre Sa Vie on blu-ray, Night and Fog and Eyes Without a Face on dvd.

They shared a piece of what is believed to be the cover for Three Colors: Blue on FB this morning, so expect that set come next annoucment.

Also World on a Wire apparently.

They shared artwork from White today.

...and Red completed the set today.

Just dropped on FB:

We will soon be announcing revised Blu-ray and DVD editions of Jean Renoir's masterpiece The Rules of the Game as part of our November lineup—we are replacing one supplement and creating new packaging.

Our original DVD edition will then be officially out of print. However, at this time we are offering it at a 65% discount from the suggested retail price at Criterion.com. (Use the promotion code REGLE at checkout.) We have a limited supply. We will fulfill orders as soon as we can.

Rushmore Blu-Ray coming in November

November: Threes Colors Trilogy, 12 Angry Men, The Rules of The Game (reissue)--all standard & blu--plus Fanny and Alexander on blu.

Also: Eclipse 30: Sabu!

...and just added, Rushmore on blu

Kind of prefer the o.g. Rules of the Game artwork, but that's quibbling. I would probably get every single one of the November titles had I the $$$.

Hey, Kino is fixing to release David Holzman's Diary.

http://www.criterion.com/library/list_view?m=dvd&o=false&p=1&pp=all&s=director

here's a good way to look thru them

the clock counting down is too stressful

all i wanted is Carlos but the sale doesn't apply to forthcoming releases.

does anyone have the Sweet Smell of Success blu?

I do. It's lovely.

self control: only got Jean Vigo for me, Kes for a friend.

Vigo and Cul de sac for me.

I actually got the Vigo and The Music Room earlier this week at Barnes & Noble, who are having a 40% off blu ray sale.
