Here's hoping that Seconds arrives in the mail soon. I'm pumped about seeing this movie. Woo hoo!

Make it a Double feature with either Being John Malkovich or Manchurian Candidate.

In a couple of days, I'll be caught up on all of my Blu-rays except for the last two and half seasons in my box set of The Twilight Zone: The Complete Series.

I'm planning to watch Seconds in between a bunch of episodes of The Twilight Zone next week, so that it'll seem like just another episode of that show.

I like seeing everyone's wish lists, and I like reading the reactions the actual announcements. There are a lot of Criterion titles that never even register a blip on my own radar (the Satyajit Ray films, for instance), but I'm always compelled to research them online after seeing how many serious cinephiles are excited about those announcements.

I like the excitement too. Plus, like you, there are films I've never heard of that I get introduced to via Criterion, and that makes me happy, happy, happy. Some of the more obscure Arthouse films, foreign, etc, I find out about here, or thier site. Which is nice as well, as I miss a lot of Arthouse stuff now.

I second both of those!

Scottie · 08-15-2013, 03:26 PM

I'm surprised they haven't updated their website yet with new people.

It's going to be a huge announcement. Expect Lynch, expect Kurosawa, expect a lost Stanley Kubrick film (just kidding).

I'm hoping for Mulholland, even though I think it's a long shot.

RandyK · 08-15-2013, 03:37 PM

Over/under: 5 o'clock eastern for announcements.

I'm taking the over.

Hell Yes!

I love my Concorde BluRay, but as I have rattled before, there is room for improvement.

Could you imagine if CC provided the "Pilot Version" too

Now that would be something. It'll be interesting to see why it was rejected by the network in the first place. Mulholland Drive really did have a long and strange journey to fruition. Can't believe one of the best films of the 00's started life as a rejected T.V. pilot.

It seemed like in 2012 by 3:00 ET their announcements were always up. This year they've been a bit off.

deepbreathsanddeath · 08-15-2013, 03:47 PM

I bet the crew at Criterion are sitting back in their chairs watching us lose our minds and laughing maniacally while twiddling their fingers together. *rubs sweat and tears on the screen* does this appease the gods at criterion? DOES IT?!?!

I am slobbering over the thought of juicy extras. If there is one film I do not want to be shortchanged as far as PQ, AQ & Supplements, it is Mulholland Drive.

No lie--sometimes the announcements even caught me off guard. I often found myself thinking, "wow, that was fast. Wish there was more buildup."

Heck, a couple of years ago they would sometimes be up by lunch time. Those were the days!
