I has to be Hoop Dreams. Couldn't imagine it being White Men Cant Jump.

Finally, a hint I actually may have pegged. Hoop Dreams...maybe

Not sure I agree with that. I'm not entirely sure why but People on Sunday would probably be my goto title if I wanted to win over somebody who was skeptical of or unfamiliar with silents.

It's very charming, very engaging and very, very, very accessible.

Oh, maybe I do know why

I saw Hoop Dreams when I was very young (maybe 10) and loved it.

When I saw the basketball in my newsletter, it made me really happy. It's truly one of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen.

Darkcritic · 02-22-2012, 10:51 PM

Well, some people at the Criterion FB page are saying this definitely is NOT Hoop Dreams. At first I wasn't so sure but then someone mentioned every hint related to a BD upgrade has the color blue in it. Have never thought about that until now

. Don't know what to expect now. Finally an uncertain Newsletter clue! The first one to prove more difficult in a long time of blatantly obvious ones.

keldons · 02-22-2012, 10:53 PM

actually yeah. Swimming to Cambodia might be it. Johnathan Demme has a relationship with Criterion.

That makes sense . Very Clever. Swimming to Cambodia is guess. Unless they are doing a set of his films including Monster in a Box and Soderberg's Gray's Anatomy.

EddieLarkin · 02-22-2012, 11:30 PM

Hoop Dreams was filmed on video so I can't see how an upgrade is necessary. I imagine it's something else.

I agree, as that makes sense since basketballs are generally orange, not gray. Probably Swimming to Cambodia, as that is a Demme film who is already in the collection with Something Wild.

Yep, Betacam SP was around 340 lines of resolution, I think.

georgec · 02-22-2012, 11:46 PM

Noooooooooooooo. You guys crushed my "Hoop Dreams".

You guys are all wrong, It's Air Bud.

Already in the bbs box if I am not mistaken.

Side question - any of you insiders think there's a chance Criterion would strike a deal with Amazon's streaming service in the future?
