[Lots of buzz about James Taylor on the CC Facebook today! Maybe this means we can expect a Blu box of all of his music videos and appearances on The Muppet Show/SNL/Leno!!!] = average logic of this topic

I ain't leaving, pt.. I'm just one of those self-hating Criterion devotees

What? They've never even heard of her? Yikes!
So they don't look at our forum!
How much do you reckon it would cost to get Wes Anderson to drop the name of Hou Hsiao-Hsien the next time he drops in?
It would be an awful slur against Tony Rayns if they happen to say to him in passing: "We were just chatting to David Fincher and he mentioned this Hou Hsiao-Hsien chap. Are any of his films any good?" ](*,)
Has someone asked on Facebook about the possibilites of having more of Kihachi Okamoto's work on Criterion? If not, could someone, please? Epoch Of Murder Madness is one hell of a movie, for example. Absolutely great director.
It is. I'm already behind. They should just rename their page "Forthcoming list". I would appriciate if members send an pm on news because it benefits all Criterion fans and lessens the questions regarding what films have already been asked to Criterion (at least some...). I'm surprised that some films asked have already been confirmed and just wasting their time answering it.
"Better than average chance" of Kusturica "getting some Criterion love." =D> I don't know if that means releasing one of his films, or just some intern adding Underground to his Netflix queue, but surely at least this is a step in the right direction.
Hopefully if they do either Underground or Time of the Gypsies (and I would love both!) they include the television and theatrical editions, Fanny and Alexander-style.

That was me asking about Hou. The answer was disappointing as it seemed to imply he was off their radar altogether; but maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Not sure I see it. I agree you may be reading to much into it. It sounds like they have no access to City of Sadness, but it doesn't say much about his other films (though I suppose if any were imminent they'd have said so).
Well I guess it does, perhaps, suggest that in a perfect world the print would be theirs, so I'll revise my interpretation and take it to mean they harbor a desire to release some Hou!
