CriterionCast has been guessing as usual:

Eraserhead is in a precarious place and could easily fall off the building and out of the picture. Seriously.

Man on the clock may have something to do with Chaplin? Like Eraserhead.

Highwire artist ... La Strada. Like Eraserhead.

Maybe this will be easier:

Scottie · 01-01-2013, 02:55 PM

Maybe the building is Kurosawa's The Bad Sleep Well.

Just watched my Criterion Bluray of Paris, Texas. I never had seen the film before. What a great, beautiful, simple movie. No pretentions, just it is what it is. They don't make American movies like this anymore. Kinski is classic beauty. A masterpiece. The supplements are a treat as well. I didn't watch them all, but the Wim Wenders interview was extremely entertaining. What particularly interested me was when Wenders talked about the initial reaction of American critics to the film of being very negative, mostly because (and this isn't a quote) "some foreigner isn't gonna show us Americans what America is like." I also found very interesting watching Stanton recount how badly at the time, and still to this day, he wanted to kill Wenders after (spoiler alert) he found out that Travis' character was not gonna end up with the family. There's also a fairly thick book included in the case with a fine interview with the film's sceen writer Sam Shepard. Highly recommend ANY fan of great film to add it to your collection.

Excited for Eraserhead, it's been a long time coming.

Snicket · 01-01-2013, 03:04 PM

The New Years drawings seem a bit easyer to guess than the monthly ones.

Some are still way over my head though.

I hope Criterion includes Lynch's shorts with the film.

That would be nice. I originally had my fingers crossed for a box-set with a collection of his films, but Eraserhead will surely be excellent.

noirjunkie · 01-01-2013, 03:14 PM

Does anyone know if there is any hope of Criterion's release of The Third Man coming back into print?

Ditto! I've been hoping for that from the start.

Hopefully this is just the start of Lynch

Yes Please! As long as the extras are great I'm happy. It'll be a shame if it has as few extras as 3 Women and other $40 releases with barely anything on them.

As far as the other Lynch films, I just need elephant man and Straight Story as the German Lynch box set is absolutely awesome.

The Elephant Man has a pretty good release from Studio Canal so I wouldn't expect a Criterion release of that. The Straight Story might be a possibility, seeing as how even amongst Lynch films that has a spotty release record.

Eraserhead was the best of the recent Universal UK releases of Lynch's films and it'll be interesting to see what new extras Criterion produces.

I recently picked up The Elephant Man cheap. Great transfer, some of it is stunning.

Darkcritic · 01-01-2013, 03:52 PM

Boy with snow in the window = Oshima's Boy !!!!!! HELL YEAH

!!!!!!!! Plus The Naked Lunch or The Devil's Backbone AND Lord of the Flies.

1) Where did you get it?

2) to all, I just blind bought the original 3:10 to Yuma & Babettes Feast, should I watch them for the first time on DVD, or should I wait for the Blurays?

SimBelm · 01-01-2013, 04:03 PM

Oshima's Boy would make me very happy. Not exactly one of my favourites from Oshima, but damn would it look great on Blu.

[Show spoiler]

G: Scanners
H: Gate of Hell
I: Devil's Backbone
J: Naked Lunch
L: Eraserhead

My guesses so far...

Very excited for Naked Lunch

I'm praying for Devil's Backbone to be released before Pacific Rim!

I've never actually finished Naked Lunch. I saw it at a bit of a younger age and couldn't get into it

However, I recently saw eXistenZ and really dug it. If that film wasn't exactly considered Cronenberg's finest hour, I should really take to Naked Lunch this time around.
