Yeah, because Criterion lives and dies by what's posted by a bunch of anal nerds on the Blu-ray.com forums. Newsflash: We're not that important.

Maybe we should all just assume Criterion announcements are on the 16th of every month, and if they get posted a day early, we will be shocked!

Yes! So happy for that one. It's one of

[Show spoiler]Mizoguchi's most beautiful films, and I'm satisfied I held off on the Japanese Blu Ray!

There doesn't have to be any nefarious reason for that. It could just be.

Maybe. But again, I challenge people to have some patience next month and see what happens.

Has anyone heard any rumors of bluray upgrades for "Written on the Wind" or "Magnificent Obsession"? I'm thinking of buying the DVDs.

Absolutely.

I love

[Show spoiler]Three Colors Trilogy

and

[Show spoiler]Double Vie de Veronique

.
Although I'm alarmed a bit too about the cropping, if it's indeed the case.

I suppose I am a bit as well, but I want to see for myself before I start embracing my inner Chicken Little.

You could buy this French bluray for Written on the Wind.

It appears the French subtitles are "removable"

*audio is quite clear. There are French and English audio tracks, and*un–forced French subtitles.*It's a great presentation, of an exceedingly fun, exciting movie. This is a great presentation, and totally worth anyone's time. I should say also that, while*thepicture looks a little more flat during*the*opening credits, there is no dip in quality duringthe*crossfades from scene to scene throughout*the*rest of*the*film.

Not all of us know the titles, esp. the ones that don't want to see the spoilers.
