I come on every few months and shake up the new people...it's kind of funny. I find it entertaining in between the F5s on Criterion's page.

I do feel horrible about myself when it is all over, however.

Oh, I knew it was a joke, since I'm familiar with his announcement posts. Hence my "Ha!"
Still, I'd have to shank somebody if The Usual Suspects were announced today.

Yes, I think you're the only one! Everybody else has abandoned ship, or just reads (as I do) without posting (kinda creepy).

Probably no less than your Tapatalk message does to us on a regular basis

Lol. I meant by buying Usual Suspects more than once But in this case there's so much in the way of fooling going on that it would be hard to determine what I was referencing.

Anything from the top half of that list would be amazing.

It's possible they removed it because the special edition will be announced today and there's no need for that particular blurb about it coming at a later date anymore. One can hope at least

For informational purposes, who gets shanked in this scenario?

[italy12]

Wishful thinking, but I'd love Lost Highway and Pink Floyd - The Wall!

I thought this was a great list before you edited in a few more, now it's an amazing one! I'd be incredibly happy with any of these outside of Welcome to the Dollhouse. And I'd be happy for Sixteen Candles to get any more of the outrage over it out of the way.

Actually, since I'm currently binge-watching the entire Miami Vice series and enjoying revisiting the episodes, I would be thrilled if Criterion were to announce Michael Mann's 2006 feature film based on the show. It's so underrated.

Buena Vista Social Club is confirmed for April as per Scottie's post

There are too many other great films that are in dire need of an upgrade.

Have any of you calling for a Spartacus upgrade actually seen the 2015 release?



There's simply no reason for Criterion to release this, really.

[jshaide]

I'm going with:

[Show spoiler]Buena Vista

(already leaked)
Ghost World
Tampopo
4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days (w/ the Tales from the Golden Age segment as a supplement)
Beyond the Hills

Extras would be the main reason:

From Criterion's DVD:

• Audio commentary by producer-actor Kirk Douglas, actor Peter Ustinov, novelist Howard Fast, producer Edward Lewis, restoration expert Robert A. Harris, and designer Saul Bass
• Screenwriter Dalton Trumbo’s scene-by-scene analysis
  
• Rare deleted scenes
  
• Vintage newsreel footage
  
• 1960 promotional interviews with Jean Simmons and Peter Ustinov
• 1992 video interview with Peter Ustinov
  
• Behind-the-scenes “gladiatorial school” footage
• The 1960 documentary The Hollywood Ten, plus archival documents about the blacklist
  
• Original storyboards by Saul Bass
  
• Hundreds of production stills, lobby cards, posters, print ads, and a comic book
• Sketches by director Stanley Kubrick
  
• Original theatrical trailer
• Additional Alex North score compositions

The ones bolded are on the Universal release I believe, but everything else has not been carried over from the CC DVD.
