But with F&A, it was originally a TV series that was then cut down for international cinemas. The theatrical version should be treated as the chaff, not the wheat.

Yeah, I edited my original post. My bad. It could be that they put most of e TV version on one disc and the rest on another one along with the documentary or something. I really, really hope the TV version gets treated right.

In for all except Anderson.

Very pleased about 12 Angry Men, but disappointed at the lack of Chaplin. After Modern Times and The Great Dictator, I figured May and November would be the yearly release months for his back catalog. Guess not.

SpiderBaby · 08-15-2011, 08:29 PM

Weird, when was the last month everything announced atleast had a dvd release in the U.S. market?

I wouldn't say I prefer that version but it's definitely excellent. I'd snap that one up in a second too.

Three Colors: Red
12 Angry Men

NINE!

I would have given you the Three Colors, but you stretched for too much with Fanny Alaxander as 2 separate films. By that comparison I guess they released 10 titles last November. Ten!

Besides, I wasn't complaining about what they were releasing. My post came before Rushmore was updated, which was basically already confirmed. So I figured they might have had another one up their sleeves, i.e. a Chaplin, in addition to Rushmore which I was not yet counting.

How do you know?

SpiderBaby · 08-15-2011, 08:37 PM

Every mainline release announced today looks like blu-ray upgrades to me. I'm trying to remember when the last time (if there ever was) when Criterion didn't announce something new to the U.S. market.

Well you could argue that 12 Angry Men is new to the collection.

Isn't 12 Angry Men a totally new release? Just wondering because of the spine number, seems really high to me.

greekak229 · 08-15-2011, 08:41 PM

That 12 Angry Men release looks amazing.

SpiderBaby · 08-15-2011, 08:42 PM

To the U.S. MARKET guys! Not Criterion.

It is for Criterion. It appears that Three Colours is also new to the collection.

12 Angry Men had a previous dvd release in the US, just not by the CC.

ShellOilJunior · 08-15-2011, 08:50 PM

DVD is gradually becoming irrelevant.

Although it's place in the market undoubtedly keeps optical media prices down.

Yankees0222 · 08-15-2011, 08:53 PM

Definitely in for Fanny and Alexander and 12 Angry Men! havnt seen the others so im not sure yet......

I find it funny how they keep releasing every other Bergman film except the one that was hinted at in the new year newsletter in Wild Strawberries
