But I just finished watching it and it was pretty good so let MGM release 12 Angy Men - which I'm sure they'd do a fine job with - and let Criterion go after something which will otherwise likely never see a BD release. Or plaster the whacky C on both, that would be fine too.

Disclaimer III: Of course, if it does actually happen Disclaimer II is immediately void and it was a prediction and I'm brilliant and insightful and whatnot.

Criterion will not release THE HILL. It is a MGM Warner owned title.

Carlos would be absolutely fantastic.

Now that are some EXCELLENT news

! I too has been hoping for an announcement since December/January. Some De Sica and Kiarostami wouldn't hurt either. Well, I just remembered Criterion published kind of a tease back at the end of April for The Ghost Carriage, am I wrong?

Well...sad news about NetFlix streaming...thanks to jcs913 for the heads up on this:

According to criterioncast.com:

"Well we all knew this would happen. Back in February, when Criterion announced their epic digital streaming partnership with Hulu, they also quietly revealed that their streaming options on Netflix would be coming to an end over the course of the next year. While I haven’t been paying close attention to the Criterion Collection films that have been expiring since that announcement was made, I thought it would be helpful to all of you loyal Netflix subscribers to know that in about twelve days, 26 titles will be expiring on the 26th of May, 2011."

Here is the link...it lists the 26 titles...I've already placed them at the top on my Instant queue...25 films to watch in the next 10 days...oh well...

I rarely have complaints with Criterion, but them making their streaming package exclusive with Hulu Prime is one of the times I feel rather annoyed as a consumer. 90% of what makes Netflix so great is I can (easily) watch it on my TV. I don't, however, have an easy way to hook Hulu to my TV----and I loathe (with a passion) streaming on my laptop. Just over the weekend I started watching Horror House on regular hulu and stopped it about 20 minutes in because I hate watching stuff on my laptop.

Beta Man · 05-16-2011, 04:54 PM

I did what I haven't done before, and sought out the early spoilers for the releases.....

I am certainly not disappointed thus far.

Yami · 05-16-2011, 05:05 PM

My predictions:

Jean Vigo set
Orpheus
Cul-de-Sac
Kwaidan
The Killing
Tokyo Story

If they hold true, August shant be too shabby, right?

Close. Criterion Cast is already teasing the announcements. I don't see why you guys feel that they are less valid as a source than Criterion, since everything they've ever teased has been accurate. There is one really awesome Korean title in the August list, too.

SpiderBaby · 05-16-2011, 05:17 PM

The Eclipse set might be cool. Everybody's fav director is not mine, so not too excited for that one. Let' see what else is coming.

PowellPressburger · 05-16-2011, 05:21 PM

If Orpheus is announced I would assume it will get updated cover art.

This is not true. CriterionCast has already teased "Tokyo Story" (blu-ray upgrade) in the past and that has yet to show up. I'm sure there are a few others, as well, if we were to look.

The Criterion Collection
August titles will be announced today on Criterion.com! We think it's one of our strongest months yet... Stay tuned.

From CC's fb page...they're tooting their own horn and they have every right to do so!!

SpiderBaby · 05-16-2011, 05:29 PM

Yeah, the Cast gave me Demy last month and Criterion took it away.

Even more reason that posting their "predictions" shouldn't be considered "spoilers" and people shouldn't whine if they get posted here.

There, I said it.

Well so far, they have been "minor" works of directors.

But of course everybody flips their s*** when anything

[Show spoiler]

is released, and Criterion knows that.

Ryan tweeted about this:

Possibly an indication of what the cover may look like? (I really dig it)

You can post whatever the heck you want to post. That's part of the Internet's charm. No one's going to call you out for being a "rebel." The regulars on the board already know what's going on anyway, so feel free to run with it. List 'em all!!!!!!!!!!

That'd be funny if

[Show spoiler]

is announced (with a Jim Emerson commentary naturally). Although it seems to be far on the back burner at the present (if at all). Fine by me as they have other things to get in the collection.
