The Lean/Coward set, I assume will be an Eclipse set which I will definetly pick up.

I know an arachnid infant that will be happy about that!

I liked the earlier announcements vs the late ones.

I have to return to work at 1:30, and I'd prefer to find out before I have to leave!

You know, I forgot that Mikhail Kalatozov is the director. He already has The Cranes Are Flying in the collection, which is a great film. Hopefully this one is just as good.

No no. I meant Criterion used to announce the releases in the late morning/early afternoon. Now they don't drop the titles until late afternoon/early evening. I preferred when they used to announce the titles earlier in the day.

Jacob likes "early" announcements in regards to the time of day that they are announced, not later in the day.

Or these. It's a little like Christmas for some.

Come on, I do the same thing every month now...

War Room? The early 90's documentary? Lean/Coward Eclipse or will it be a Blu ray box set. Would suck if only DVD.

that would be great. I have the UK import of Brief Encounter on Blu but have been craving it as a Criterion.

EDIT: I'm wrong, it's "http://www.criterion.com/boxsets/861-david-lean-directs-noel-coward" David Lean Directs Noel Coward box, with Brief Encounter. NOT an Eclipse. But that above link is returning the error now.

The image is there but too small! I can't see the titles or number of films.

If you go to the Brtief Encounter page, the pictures of the BD set are up!!!

This is showing up on the Brief Enounter page on Criterion.com. Both BLU and DVD. It won't let me enlarge the package cover. But it is there and lists the 4 Lean/Coward films. Yes!

YES! And I thought today was going to suck. I have been bugging them about this since they put it on Hulu.
