It has been a little while since they last released a Lubitsch...

I'm just hoping they start the year off with a Japanese film that hasn't gotten a the HD treatment. However, I'm prepared to be disappointed as I have been for the last 18 months.

That would be an amazing month. I wonder if we will have to wait a bit longer for Peeping Tom, though, seeing how Criterion took almost a year to release The Trial following the release by SC. On the other hand, IIRC Criterion did release their Mulholland Dr. before SC, so who knows ...?

Still no solid Blu-ray for My Nights Are More Beautiful Than Your Days (1989).

[sock oo o oo]

Maybe for the fortieth anniversary there will be a release of The NeverEnding Story (1984) 4K UHD.

House sale dance will be over, and I'll be able to actually partake.

If before? Oh well. I'll wait until February.

Or Nov at BN. With their free rewards program, it just about equals out to Criterion.com Certs

Question about Criterion.com points: how quickly do they show up in your account after a purchase, and how quickly do they send the gift certificate? I'm $137 away from a $50 certificate and am wondering if I spend that much at the start of the sale will I have that certificate in my inbox by the end?

Also, do gift-card codes count toward that total? I have a $20 and $10 code in my email for being a Channel subscriber.

It takes no more than a few minutes.

You can reach the next threshold, get the gift card, and put in a new order within 15 minutes.

I've done it.

If we don't see a Kurosawa in 4K soon, you would have to think something is up for a box set, right?

I think it's more Toho is super difficult to work with

[Egbert Souse]

Good chance we get 4Ks of Godzilla and Seven Samurai in 2024 for the 70th anniversary. It's also the 100th for Greed, 75th for The Third Man.

[fellinivettes]

30th anniversary of Dumb and Dumber next year as well. Deserves a spine # (don't hate)

Well, the director DID win an Oscar….

[bsend]

I'm thinking of buying The Pornographers on DVD during the next sale. If I do, I think we will get an upgrade for sure.

Same reason one of the boutique stores took to social media awhile back to call out the insane emails they were getting from crazy customers demanding replacements because the stickers on the outside of the plastic wrap were not straight.

My Cousin Vinny should 100% be in the collection. Such a great movie.

Tokyo Twilight is on the Eclipse series "Late Ozu".

But regardless, of all the Japanese cinema Criterion has yet to release on a physical disc, that one is on the top of my list. It is such an absorbing emotional film beyond what I've ever seen before. I saw it for the first time last year and I've seen it twice since. It's amazing.

I wonder if there will actually be an announcement today or if Criterion will make everyone wait until after 5pm EST and then post on their Facebook page that announcements are delayed.
