When does Criterion announce new titles?
Where do you guys get these announcements? Is there a website, or a mailing list, where you get the news? I hope it's not a case of everyone sitting on criterion.com's 'coming soon' page and continually clicking 'refresh'...

In the months that I broke the new titles, I would just take the URL for the eventual cover art and refresh it every few minutes while I was doing something else. As soon as it shows up, I'd quickly find all the covers and post them here. This is probably how most cover-breakers do itfiddlesticks wrote:Where do you guys get these announcements?

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation
So will the February releases be announced on Friday with Saturday being the 15th or should I expect it to arrive between Saturday and Monday? God I hope Vivre sa Vie is coming.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation
The 15th is not a hard and fast rule. Friday is certainly possible, but I wouldn't rule out Monday either. Then again, I think we already know everything that's going to be announced:psufootball07 wrote:So will the February releases be announced on Friday with Saturday being the 15th or should I expect it to arrive between Saturday and Monday?

I'm actually going out to see Vivre sa Vie tomorrow night, which obviously means its still making the rounds theatrically. I wouldn't count on a DVD release announcement any time soon.psufootball07 wrote:So will the February releases be announced on Friday with Saturday being the 15th or should I expect it to arrive between Saturday and Monday?

Also: While Friday is always a possibility, Monday seems a bit more likely.

Are Criterion and Eclipse upcoming DVDs usually announced on the same day?

Any thoughts on whether we will see June releases today or next week?

Today we are April 15; isn't it "the day" for the new batch of upcoming Criterion or do we have to wait until Friday to read what will be the next Blu-Ray ?? (I cross my fingers for Walkabout on Blu-Ray since Exotica on BR is just a matter of dreams...)...

purely speculative but, my guess is that the new titles won't be announced until tomorrow... cause—

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation
I was told several months (maybe as many as six) that they have no plans for Don't Look Now. I'm pretty sure I posted as such either in this thread or in the Paramount thread.
I desperately wish the opposite, and perhaps things have changed, but that'd be an awful-quick turnaround.

New titles are always announced on either Monday or Friday in the middle of the month.ehimle wrote:purely speculative but, my guess is that the new titles won't be announced until tomorrow... cause—

I'm pretty sure it's always on the 15th, unless that falls on a weekend, and then it's the previous Friday or following Monday.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation
If they post pre-midnight, I promise to pre-order every July offering. Unless it's another one of this year's Best Picture contenders. Last month was good enough for me to order them all (save TCCoBB; didn't hate it, just found it anemic).
I'd love to see more Roeg get into the collection. Or MAN ESCAPED.

Don't ask me why I remember this, but last year's May titles were announced in the middle of the week for certain

what I was trying to hint at was that the new titles probably won't be announced until after the sale ends.

I guess it was only a matter of time until people began speculating the announcement date on top of the actual announcements.

Re: When does Criterion announce new titles?
I'm making a fool out of myself by posting like I really care about this topic, but my sense lately is that they've been posting on the Friday of the second week of the month. But, of course, last month it was the following Monday, so really it just boils down to them just fucking with us.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation
They should totally announce the upcoming announce dates (and times, while we're at it) with at least three months notice. Also, just to keep our nerves calm during times of non-announcement, they should send us all emails every five seconds or so saying:Murdoch wrote:I guess it was only a matter of time until people began speculating the announcement date on top of the actual announcements.
Dear XXX,
Everything is fine. I just wanted to let you know I have nothing to announce at this time. Rest assured, I will immediately announce to you any announcements or intentions to announce to you any announcements, or any intentions to announce to announce, etc. If it has been more than five seconds since you received this email and you have not yet received another, please do not be alarmed. I was just finding out if there were any more announcements for you. You should be finding out if I found any more announcements for you any moment now. I hope this helps!
I love you,
Jon Mulvaney
