I can't unsee this joke.

Just realized that the 15th this month is on a Sunday. Usually I would say that we would get announcements on Monday, but I wonder since Criterion has been "late" these last few months that maybe they will give the announcements early on Friday? That would be nice.

Don't crush my hopes. Haha. Still, it would be nice if we got them on Friday before the weekend, but doubtful.

It would be nice to get them earlier, but like you pointed out, I don't think it's going to happen. Honestly, as long as it's on Monday, I'm good. I just don't want a repeat of what happened last month.

Yeah, the worst is when everyone gets into a frenzy and excited only to be told at 5 PM that they have been delayed. What's even worse is for that to happen two days in row. Thankfully while both happened last month somebody said screw it and leaked the titles after the second delay.

Just accept that they're not going to be announced until the 20th. And if they get announced before that, then it'll be a pleasant surprise. Boom, I just fixed everyone's lives.

The 21st is on a Saturday, so the delay would actually be until the 23rd.

I just called up Mulvaney and asked him to not announce anything this month. He said he would think about it.

[DukeTogo84]

My hope for the month is the Heroic Trio since we saw those amazing screenshots. It would be a huge tease to not get that soon.

Also hoping for Samurai Rebellion, but doubt that will happen.

Looks beautiful, I hope they announce I Know Where I'm Going on blu ray soon!

Or, hear me out, it's not worse for any of us who can just wait until it's released. Copy-and-paste this into every thread asking about announcements. Then move on.

That's great, but doesn't work that way for some, including myself. I don't have zen like patience that others do.

Same. I work as a teacher and already use all of my patience dealing with my students. I just don't have any patience left to deal with trivial stuff like this.

I’m going to approach announcement day or delay the same way I always have.

Extreme vibing.

I'm impatient about various things too, of course. It just seems unnecessary to post about them every week or month, knowing it will be the same, with the same responses too.

Mr. Klein, ordered directly from Criterion, arrived today heralded by my least favorite sound in the world - the Loose Disc sliding about and bouncing off the sides of the case. I opened it and to my surprise there weren’t any scratches or scuffs… because the disc was upside down. That is, play-side up. In a new, sealed case. First time I’ve ever seen that.
