Huh, I think I thought FWWM was already upgraded. Whoops! I don't do UHD so sometimes I'm just not keeping that stuff straight.

The coffee cup icon was the thing that jumped out at me during the visit. I think that is where the Twin Peaks Criterion stuff really started to gain steam.

Yes. I knew that "To Die For" was based on a real case. I am familiar with the real case. When the actual crime is committed in the film, it was very faithful to the events of the story. I think the only detail that was changed was how Nicole Kidman's character came to work at the school.

One of my favorite things in "To Die For" was the inclusion of 90s television commercial that was a classic in the local Portland, OR television market. The commercial's catchphrase was "I'm Tom Peterson...and Gloria Too!"

Criterion's gotta do something special for you.

Trying to will into existence Cape Fear (I’d be happy with either or both!) and The Vanishing 4ks to be announced today!

Again, where exactly does the news break? And at around what time?

I'd say start checking at noon. But it could technically be any time in the afternoon.

When I first got into this, I remember announcements coming at like 5/5:30pm most of the time. Been much earlier in recent years, but the possibility is always there.

[mi470]

iirc, the past few have been around 1 PM EST

Well my prediction of Body Double 4K being announced today wasn't wrong. It just happens to be from Sony!
