45 Years wws my first guess. Nothing else really stands out right now.

Edit: Didn't see the previous post!

45 Years was in my top 10 last year, and such an amazing film. This makes me very excited!

Damn! would it kill that Dog to pose in front of an old village or town

I was thinking that the 315 might have to do with the bible passage from John 3:15, regarding eternal life.


All Dogs Go to Heaven?

Oh, Heavenly Dog?

Nah!

White Dog?

I really wish it was this film!

I even added up the letters following "Dog" to see if it added up in Roman numerals, but all I got was 106 remainder E.

The Paramount release of 45 Years has zero extras, so I suppose there's reason enough for CC to release it too.

The Godfather turns 45 next year. Godfather, Dogfather, eh eh?

Season 3 so far has been just "okay", however this past episode ("#5 - Madness) was exceptional in my opinion. I also liked how they showed the history in Setrakian's long life in Season 2.

He definitely is out there, but in a good way. The imagery in Pan's Labyrinth alone is simply outstanding. He has an amazing mind's eye and everything I have seen of his, I really love. I haven't seen some of his, what I would call, true horror films, but I'm sure they are great.

Thanks for the heads up on Ep 5 of this season, looking forward to it.

Straw Dogs was released 45 years ago.

I wouldn't mind habing that as the film behind the clue.

Don't we alreadyhave a director supervised/approved release with a boatload of extras for the trilogy?

It's a brilliant release already. No need.

So was Dr. Strangelove, but that didn't stop some people going nuts after Criterion announced their release.

Yes, I was actually joking around if you didn't realize. Though, there is more Criterion could add though. There is the complete epic cut which combines all 3 films into one movie. HBO has the rights to it however. I believe there was some other stuff that people were asking for with the previous release too.

The Godfather 1902–1959: The Complete Epic is a reduced, 386 minute version of The Godfather Saga (434 minutes) that was released to video in 1981.[5][6] Unlike the Saga, which presented in 4 segments (each with opening and closing credits), the Epic is presented as a single segment. Lucia Bozzola wrote of this version, "With the freedom of home video, The Complete Epic reinstated the violence that had been edited for television; free of commercial breaks, the narrative drive of Part I was mostly restored, but the impact of Part II was still muted by the separation of Vito's rise from Michael's descent."[7] In January 2016, HBO aired the epic in its uncut and uncensored format; later making it available on its streaming platforms.[8] The HBO showing contained most of the known deleted scenes, thereby lengthening the runtime of the Epic from its video release. This HBO version carries the title Mario Puzo's The Godfather: The Complete Epic 1901-1959 which has a runtime of 423 minutes.

Cat People is down to $20.99 at Amazon. Good time to pick it up in time for Halloween

Been anxious to revisit Sunset Song, but I just know that the blu will most likely come in the form of Criterion, so I just have to wait. Hmph.

Maybe I'll finally watch Tess today for my golden hour treatment.

Er, no it won't? Magnolia doesn't license out. It's just not getting a Blu in the US. It's on Netflix.

I'm optimistic from their Davies coverage on the time of its release, lack of blu, and (to a smaller degree) Koresky's involvement.

I know it's on Netflix. Still gonna wait for the blu.

45 years is definitely coming out of Criterion sooner or later.
