'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2

[ShellOilJunior]

Anyone want to guess the URL?

Hyphens between each word in the title. "The" is included where applicable.

Only works for new spine though. . .

[Howard Roark]

The Four Feathers? nope, darn!

The Four Feathers? nope, darn!

With Criterion matching their releases with Blu-ray now, I wouldn't be surprised if many smaller titles get's the shove for a future date.

Cronos and Videodrome in December? It's official: Criterion is running two months behind (but I imagine these will be under many a Christmas tree and Hanukkah bush).

[aox]

so, is it fair to say that those two are it?

TNT got away with it.

[Peacock]

Just two according to Criterion! Only one release in December for me.... (Videodrome)

[mfunk9786]

So much for telling us that an Andrea Arnold film was entering the collection this year. Although, we were supposed to get Cronos 15 months ago or so... so.

[Matt]

That BBS set must have about killed them. They all went on vacation after putting it to bed.

[Peacock]

Wonder why the BBS set was so tough on them if they were largely just porting from Sony?

[Matt]

I'm just talking through my hat. December has always been a light month for Criterion.

[Perkins Cobb]

Pretty long stretch without an Eclipse.

[Howard Roark]

The problem with a Bergman set is that, unlike Kurosawa where they were missing the rights to only a few films, they are missing the rights to a great many Bergman films (if we are including the MGM box and his 80s, 90s output).

For something comprehensive, I would think an Ozu box might be more fulfilling.

Not that I wouldn't welcome a Bergman box...especially if that meant Blu.

EDIT: I realize his 80s, 90s, and 00s are television works.

I'd much rather have a Wim Wenders Road Trilogy boxset \:D/

[Matt]

Pretty long stretch without an Eclipse.

And we haven't had an Essential Art House since April. I think that line is dead.

[Perkins Cobb]

I wish they would begin to share my view that Eclipse is the main line and CC is the poor relations.

[colinr0380]

Well I'm very excited about both December's releases! But if we are talking about long delays after announcements aren't we still waiting for People On Sunday to get a release, and that was mentioned as coming soon years ago!

It is a shame about Essential Art House if it is on hiatus, though I did my bit last month and finally got around to picking up Kapò.

[mfunk9786]

I never got around to picking up Last Holiday before it went OOP, and I'm still kicking myself because I'm a huge Queen Latifah fan.

Every once in a while comes a post I could be persuaded to "Like" if such an option existed on the board, which it should never

[cdnchris]

And it shall never.

[colinr0380]

Don't worry, I think Taxi and Hairspray are still available. 8-[

[mfunk9786]

But the Jimmy Fallon box has been hard to find ever since Fever Pitch went OOP.

[chizbooga]

could criterion ever license the fisher king? i mean they did the laserdisc after all...its gilliams best film, no contest, in my opinion, and amanda plummer's fierce acting needs to be in the collection in some form. GOD i love amanda plummer

[ianungstad]

Sony licensed the title to Image Entertainment. I would say chances are decent that either they'll eventually release it through Criterion or use the extras from the Criterion laserdisc on a special edition from Image.

They have a new barebones release coming out on Dec.7

[colinr0380]

GOD i love amanda plummer

Have you seen Butterfly Kiss? It's the kind of film that will either seal your affection for Amanda Plummer forever or cause you to always feel a little uncomfortable around people with piercings from that point onward. Either way its a film that once seen can never be forgotten(!) and really stands as one of her very best performances.

[anvilscepe]

I was always partial to Freeway. She is so emotionally unhinged. Ramona gives the film its heart.
