At this point, it's so predestined, it can't not happen.

Someone had mentioned Breaker Morant that fits the clue, and the hats are indeed identical to the drawing.



They don't look at all like Napoleonian hats.

I'd be very surprised if there is not a Kurosawa or a Chaplin title in the mix for this month. We had a Godard and a Truffaut in early spring last year. We've got one this year. I'm expecting the same for Kurosawa. As for Chaplin, it has been too long since the last one.

Highlight of the nominations. Was so worried she'd get snubbed.

Chastain has been nominated twice for The Help and Zero Dark Thirty. You can blame her omission for A Most Violent Year at A24's LATE release and almost non-existent campaign.

I stopped posting here because some people got real shitty and upset me, which led to a forum ban for me for a few days but I didn't want to be around people that made me feel that low. But all those posts got deleted.

Besides they thought I didn't have better things to do with my life than post here, but they were wrong. (if they really want to know I have started my new job which is care work for people with severe disabilities, I am helping them live independatly and feel part of the community).

Anyway I don't know whether I want to be back or not cause of them people, just wanted to share the new artwork.

I am looking forward to announcement alone though, do miss the excitement here.

I, for one, am glad that you are back. I have always enjoyed reading your posts. I have found them entertainingly quirky!

Don't let others get you down. Life is too short.

Welcome back!

That's ridiculous. I must have missed the fun but **** those people. Don;t feel low over a message board every single person who posts here and gets offended is a coward. Type your words friend.


EDIT - Surprise announcements?

Phantom page added for Yumeko Aizome. http://www.criterion.com/people/122675

Also, yeah, that Cries and Whispers cover is 10000000x better.

EDIT - Surprise announcements?

It just upset me that they targeted me over nothing, and made personal comments about my life they have no understanding of.

I love my life and now have a very fulfilling job helping others and the had to cheek to say I have nothing better to do with my life than post here...

Its just this is the second or third time this has happened and thought I would learn by not coming back.

Also it 15th :P

-

On a Criterion note, I treated myself to Criterion Designs and it is stunning, bit upset they missed some designs out but no biggie!

Also bagged Last Year at Marienbad Buray mint condition for £30

[Helikaon]

I am unusually excited for the announcements this month... hmm.

[kuro_sawa]

Just cant remember the last time they let slip this early in the day!

Awesome news about the Reed film, will have to see how it stacks up with the current release
