The real clues are the friends we made along the way.

When did they become monthly clues? They always seemed kind of random to me.

It looks like the DVD essay was replaced with a new one for Blu-ray, according to this review.

Both can be read at criterion.com, though.

As far as I know, they've been doing newsletter clues for over 10 years now, and at least in the last few years the newsletters would come out at the en of the month.

Watching The Thief of Bagdad on TCM with a Criterion logo at the start. Curiously, the United Artists card is missing from the main titles. Looks great.

Anyone heard anything about whether Criterion will be releasing DePalma's Body Double eventually? Thinking about just importing the Indicator blu ray.

It'd surprise me, given that it got a "Choice Collection" release from Sony. The Indicator release is great.

Thanks, I'll import then.

I'm surprised they haven't released a blu-ray yet.

I'm still only seeing Mikey and Nicky. How are you accessing Chunking?

Cohen released the 1924 film. Criterion has the 1940 film.

I know they've been doing clues for years (correctly guessing Anatomy of a Murder is still one of my proudest moments here) but it never seemed like something you could set your calendar by.

They just seemed like they would drop when they felt like dropping one.

It's only visible in the VHX app for me, and there aren't any playable videos, so might be something accidental.

I hope this means the Movie of the Week won't be disappearing after one week. (I already watched Mikey and Nicky but it would still be convenient if the Movies of the Week stick around.)

It's on the actual site now.

Looks like M&N is gone now. It's listed with a banner image in the VHX app, but no playable videos available.



Now someone with the OOP BD needs to sleuth whether this CE stream is a new restoration...

I'd be curious to know this too. I have the OOP BD (I think I got the very last copy available anywhere online for $40 from BN right as it went OOP), but I'm not the best person to ask about whether this is a restored version. Plus, so many variable factors can affect the quality of a stream anyway.
