I wish this were true, I would rather own this on BLU I will pass on the DVD for now. I did the same for MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW

from the newsletter--
Some exciting news for Charlie Chaplin fans (and who doesn’t that include?): Janus Films has acquired the rights to the Chaplin catalogue and will start rolling the films out, all in new 35 mm prints, for a traveling theatrical retrospective this summer. The series, called Chaplin, will start July 16 at New York’s Film Forum with a weeklong run of the 1928 comedy The Circus. Other films screening will include, naturally, The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, The Great Dictator, Limelight, and A King in New York, plus a wealth of classic comic shorts.

I'd say Chaplins will be Nov/Dec with Breathless (but hoping Breathless will come sooner). This year has been the biggest year for Criterion in a long time.

And the DVD ONLY releases:

[SpiderBaby]

Some more Pialat finally!

Haha. I love it. Let the "Where is Seven Samurai, Wes Anderson, Antichrist" start.

I just wish that Pialat was blu.

[ccfixx]

I LOVE how these blu-ray releases shatter EVERYONE'S August predictions!!!!

Sick over the DVD only releases. It is getting beyond annoying and bordering on unrelentless teasing of High Definition Transfers on standard definition discs.

[ccfixx]

Wait! There's also an Eclipse set... "The First Films Of Akira Kurosawa."

That should keep some people happy.

I am happy for the Silents and some more Pialat!
