I'll just be over here withering away out of anticipation for Bicycle Thieves.

This looks interesting.
i have a growing interest in Italian films of 50s-60s.
But i cannot find a trailer of this.

So unless The Graduate is still being worked on, these are the more than likely titles?:

Death By Hanging
The Kid
I Knew Her Well
Only Angels Have Wings

[CriterionBlues]

"Rumor" has it that Rivette is also going to be announced tonight.

The Kid
I Know Her Well
The Graduate

These phantom pages mean that we'll get the announcement earlier?
I thought from other months, they were added just before the announcement. Perhaps 1 hour or so before.

Tbh this seems like a new system they are using... don't think I've ever seen so many phantom pages added prior to announcement

Looks like Criterion has changed the date added order on the coming soon page, I'm getting all the newer releases showing from the top rather than bottom >.>

As for The Devils, Polaroid is correct. They only allowed BFI to release a DVD version of the film and apparently it is in the never-to-be-released vault. Someone at WB is probably worried about the potential controversy about it. Personally I think that's not justified. Hopefully something will change, but I doubt any US label would be able to release it.

For what it's worth, the BFI DVD is supposedly fantastic with plenty of supplements.

Controversy???? in 2015?? What controversy would there be left? The Disc won't be available in most stores since they no longer carry discs for sale (and Criterion isn't sold at Walmart). So except for fans of the film - who would even know it has been released???? Who else would even care?

Yeah I noticed that last week. I preferred it the old way so I could scroll down and see one title at a time what was coming. Kind of like a surprise. This new way I just refresh the page from the bottom and see if the title changes from 13

Bad copies of Stagecoach and the like from that above-mentioned thread should pretty much be gone from the retail chain, long since repressed.

Lady Vanishes, seems I've seen it mentioned a time or two with possible problems, so you're not alone, but it's not from that other bunch of turning brown discs.

Don't kill the messenger. I think it is BS too. I'm told from someone in the know that they are concerned with bible belt backlash.
