Criterion even classify it as a US film. Wow, that's pretty bad.

I think we should be glad it isn't Jolie's In the Land of Blood and Honey.

In the Mood for Love is up!

Not the most exciting month, but I'm in for all 4 of them (In the Mood isn't showing up in 'coming soon' yet, though..) This month, I would have preferred it if they did their usual thing of releasing two films by the same filmmaker.

But think of all the sales they could make off that! It's totally mainstream and people want mainstream!

[bookcase]

When are they going to release The Ice Storm on BD?!

[shadedpain4]

I'm surprised that no one has commented yet about all the stuff on the In The Mood for Love DVD that didn't make it to the Blu-ray version...

I never had the DVD, but I'm pre-ordering the BD based on the rave reviews from this thread. What's missing?

I'll get 3/4 for the time being. May pick up Sunday Bloody Sunday once I watch it. I'll buy the wolf in sheep's clothing title as it does look interesting.

[chris_sc77]

I will be interested in the Rosemary's Baby set if the interviews are good and lengthy. And they really shoulda included the sequel. Couldn't have been to pricey ti license

I hope for it each Nov announcement. We will know a month from now. :-)

[Akijama]

Now,this is a month!RB,IMFL and SBS!Sheer awesomeness.Kudos to CC

Btw,no pairing this month?Shame...

[SpiderBaby]

That Eclipse interests me greatly.

[BAMJoe]

Hmm, Sunday Bloody Sunday is 630 and Rosemary's Baby is 634. I wonder what 631 -633 are and why they are skipped.

[octagon]

Two must haves, two interesting probables and a box of dvds...a bit on the light side but pretty solid overall.

And I have to remind myself how absolutely delighted/thrilled/gleeful I was when the RB newsletter clue landed. It's not fair to be too blase about the month simply because I knew the big release was coming.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is actually #629 so the gap will probably be for a trilogy that isn't quite ready to be released yet. Probably Pasolini's Trilogy of Life or Oshima's Youth Trilogy.

Or Apu Trilogy?
