I guess they're really set on the 15th or later in a given month.

I personally would have done it Friday or at least have had the site ready for updating come Saturday morning. I understand that it's a Monday through Friday type company, but I don't see what's so difficult about pressing a couple of buttons on an off day. They're in a movie business and it is, in my opinion, something very fun that they should be looking forward to doing.

I know people will probably disagree with me, but that's just my two cents on the whole thing. Hell, if I worked for Criterion, I'd volunteer to do things for free because...well...I love film and their company haha.

The cover art for Red River is absolutely gorgeous.

Question, is there a flash sale coming? I see people talking about it but haven't read any details.

Well, they've had one each February and September over the past couple of years, so it seems likely that they will have another.

Wow. By some miracle my copy of Foreign Correspondent arrived today.. UNDAMAGED.

Talk about a freak occurrence that'll probably never happen again.

OK that is what I was thinking was the case. I will keep my eyes peeled for the announcement.

Thanks for the quick reply!

[Scottie]

I have a feeling they won't update their site until close to 7 P.M. EST.

The titles have already been leaked, so what's the point of rushing?

Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole is one of the most scathing indictments of American culture ever produced by a Hollywood filmmaker. Kirk Douglas gives the fiercest performance of his career as Chuck Tatum, an amoral newspaper reporter who washes up in dead-end Albuquerque, happens upon the scoop of a lifetime, and will do anything to keep getting the lurid headlines. Wilder’s follow-up to Sunset Boulevard is an even darker vision, a no-holds-barred exposé of the American media’s appetite for sensation that has gotten only more relevant with time.

Seamlessly interweaving archival war footage and a fictional narrative, this immersive account by Stuart Cooper of one twenty-year-old’s journey from basic training to the front lines of D-day brings to life all the terrors and isolation of war with jolting authenticity. Overlord, impressionistically shot by Stanley Kubrick’s longtime cinematographer John Alcott, is both a document of World War II and a dreamlike meditation on human smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine.
