Criterion just said 8 minutes ago that the new releases would be on the site "in a few minutes".

My guess about out 1: 50 collectors want it, 20 will buy it, 15 will unwrap it, 3 will start to watch it, 1 will watch it entirely...

My guess is that there will be some handwringing and general bitchiness

Writing up the specs for the 3 Women Blu-Ray must be hard work.

Somebody had to have already posted this:

It might seem early to ring in the New Year, but we’re excited about our just-announced January titles. After some blood, sweat, and tears, the restored Rossellini War Trilogy (spine number 500!)—featuring the landmark Rome Open City, Paisan, and Germany Year Zero—will finally make its DVD debut. Add DVD and Blu-ray editions of restored Che and Paris, Texas, a shimmering new Blu-ray 8½, and a Chantal Akerman Eclipse set, and there’s something for everyone to celebrate.

That was up briefly on the main page, though gone again.

I assume then:
War Trilogy (DVD)
Che (DVD, Blu)
Paris, Texas (DVD, Blu)
8 1/2 Blu
Akerman Eclipse

They can't release more Ackerman yet! It's going to take me several more months getting through watching Jeanne Dielman

Grandiose start for 2010! =D>

I assume the Ackerman set will be all the titles in the Belgian set plus one to screw us all

Ackerman in the 70's.

La chambre
Chantal Akerman, 1972
In Chantal Akerman’s early short film La chambre, we see the furniture and clutter of one small room in an apartment become the subject of a moving still life—with Akerman herself staring back at us. This breakthrough formal experiment is the first film the director made in New York.

Hotel Monterey
Chantal Akerman, 1972
Under Chantal Akerman’s watchful eye, a cheap New York hotel glows with mystery and unexpected beauty, its corridors, elevators, rooms, windows, and occasional tenants framed as though part of an Edward Hopper tableau.

News from Home
Chantal Akerman, 1976
Akerman’s unforgettable time capsule of New York City in the 1970s is also a gorgeous meditation on urban alienation and personal and familial disconnection.

Je tu il elle
Chantal Akerman, 1974
In her sexually provocative first feature, Chantal Akerman stars as a nameless, rootless young woman who leaves self-imposed isolation to embark on a road trip that leads to lonely love affairs.

Les rendez-vous d'Anna
Chantal Akerman, 1978
In one of Akerman’s most penetrating character studies, Anna, an accomplished filmmaker (played by Aurore Clément), makes her way through a series of anonymous European cities to promote her latest movie.

Very nice, definitely will be picking this up.

HerrSchreck · #1097 Post by **HerrSchreck** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:54 pm

I posted that image above... the question is (I never sprung for the PAL set) are these titles a dupe of what's on the R2 set?

Minkin · #1098 Post by **Minkin** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:56 pm

Glad they didn't waste any time announcing the Akerman set. They didn't even bother to crop out the white background!

Paris, Texas on Blu-Ray
