Also: The Ozu features a bonus film, What Did The Lady Forget?, that he made in the 30s.

The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice is playing here in a couple weeks, I thought this part of the description was hilarious: "This is considered one of Ozu's more active films - for example, there are car rides."

not mad at a Magnificent Obsession upgrade, but I'm really loosing my patience waiting on a Written on the Wind blu ray.

Same. But glad to know that eventually all three of them will be getting an upgrade now.

I have a Polyester/Desperate Living set that's gone missing. If I can't find it soon, I may have to get this too.

other faves: house, repulsion, complete tati. worst: badlands, naked.

Everyone going nuts for the Criterion sale at B+N should know they’re also doing Arrow Films half off as well, your chance to get KHRUSTALYOV MY CAR, DISTANT VOICES / STILL LIVES, PULSE, and the Rivette Box Set.— Peter Labuza (@labuzamovies) June 29, 2019

Rumor has it that a Godzilla announcement will be dropping next week, presumably in re: a massive set of the Toho material that's been on Filmstruck/Criterion Channel for some time.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Sunday, 14 July 2019 15:32 (four years ago) link
Also lots of speculation that they'll announce, tomorrow, the 1,000th spine number which people seem convinced will be Citizen Kane.

To all of you patiently waiting for our October announcement, we're sorry for the delay. We will be announcing tomorrow—stay tuned!— Criterion Collection (@Criterion) July 16, 2019

Wong Kar-wai's birthday today - boxset?
OCTOBER: Matewan; When We Where Kings; and Blu upgrades of Haxan and the Von Sternberg Silents box.
NO SPINE #1000 (YET)

haha wtf
― flappy bird, Thursday, 18 July 2019 16:19 (four years ago) link
When We Where Kings has Soul Power as a bonus film.

Whew, I'd been right on the verge of picking up Haxan on the assumption that no upgrade was on the horizon. The rare occasion when I've avoided getting punked by Criterion announcing a release that I've literally just bought.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 July 2019 16:25 (four years ago) link
According to a poster on the Criterion Forum, #1000 should be announced next week (probably the Godzilla box).

Announcing our October lineup, featuring a wrenching drama about a pivotal struggle in the American labor movement & an Oscar-winning chronicle of one of Muhammad Ali’s greatest fights. Plus, 2 Blu-ray upgrades! Stay tuned for something big: next week we'll announce spine #1000! pic.twitter.com/MiejT2hjF7— Criterion Collection (@Criterion) July 18, 2019

Curious about the silent films of von Sternberg set... I love the Sternberg/Dietrich box set. Probably going to go get Don't Look Now and My Brilliant Career at B&N after work today.

They're gorgeous. Be sure to give the Alloy Orchestra score for The Last Command a good listen.

I love the gangster in Underworld that laughs at the lead guy, "Look! He actually likes to read!"

Even more extraordinary: a Larry Semon performance that *doesn't* make me want to kick him in the crotch.

any Reichardt is good but that is by far my least favorite... so dated, such a product of the Bush 43 era, both characters are so pathetic...
Godzilla boxset all but confirmed as spine #1000, listing has showed up on blu ray/dvd sites
