I liked it, a lot, and think you can ignore their opinion about it.

So far, nothing has changed with that page.

They leave titles up until they're released. Usually the day of there release. Otherwise I've never seen them move titles under coming soon before there actual release date.

I see, thanks. I saw the number drop the morning of announcements last month, but I guess that could have been the ones from April that were already out. Looking back, Miracle and Milan, and The Girl Can't Do It came out the same day as announcements last month (April 19th) so that must have been the change in the number I noticed. I was originally wondering if it was more of a month-based system, where they only show 3 months worth of titles, and thus August's slate would push the listings for May off that page.

On another forum I took a wild guess that Daddy Longlegs would be one of the announced titles...nice! I thought Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid was gonna be announced though...guess we'll have to wait for that one.

Not...one...single...thing...I want.

Well saves me some bucks.

Looks like the person who hinted at what the releases were was right...

Not a great month, but Buck and the Preacher looks good. Hotel du Nord is good too, just not a repeat viewing for me, at least for now

I just noticed, the new titles won't have DVD releases. Is this something new, or have they dropped new DVD releases for a while now?

Just Buck and the Preacher for me.

[MifuneFan]

Might be interested in Buck and Preacher. I've considered blind-buying at Arrow's release of Hotel Du Nord many times, but never pulled the trigger, but I"m still curious about it.

[Shanghai Express]

The leaker was right. I do already have Arrow's region-free Hotel du Nord.

Daddy Longlegs is a somewhat notable one, as it's from The Safdie Brothers.

Love the cover for Faya Dayi. The film itself is breathtaking, and haunting from a visual standpoint. Not sure if I plan to get it, but it's well worth seeing at least once. It has a very dream-like narrative.It kind of tows the lines between being a documentary, and a scripted film.

Just Daddy Longlegs for me. I’m getting all but one release in July so I guess it’s a good thing, though.

[postmodel]

I enjoyed Daddy Longlegs…despite loving Good Time (and this was before Uncut Gams as one might say) I only watched it since Abel Ferrara was in it haha.
