I'm betting that Criterion includes both the Academy and SuperScope versions, leaving the cover art as the only thing to complain about.

Criterion shareholders must be extremely pleased with 2008. Can't say the same for me; but who the fuck am I, anyways. Continue.

There are no shareholders; Criterion is a privately-owned company.

Image has a distribution agreement with Criterion, but it does not own Criterion.

Criterion is not a huge force in the market to go public.

I hope so too. CC could also throw in the novel to tie in with the release.

Not to be a curmudgeon, but am I the only one who misses the newsletters from a few months ago--the ones that provided a bit of interesting trivia about each film, rather than just a blurb?
