Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7

Bob Le Flambeur BD

Anything more to this than wishful thinking?

[denti alligator]

So, in all their years of operation, "as far in advance as possible" has always equalled exactly three months? Which by some wild coincidence is also the shortest notice they've ever given for an upcoming release?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they once upon a time (circa 2004?) announce 4 months in advance? I thought I remembered that.

Guys, guessing one month's release is masturbatory enough, let's not guess into months beyond that

[The Narrator Returns]

Their November 2084 slate will consist only of a Breathless upgrade where the entire film is injected into the eyeball and viewed in one-quarter of a second, and their first Rivette title.

[SpiderBaby]

My November 'catch up to Arrow' guesses:

Apu Trilogy
Oshima ATG set
WCP Vol 2
Koker Trilogy

[bainbridgezu]

Their November 2084 slate will consist only of a Breathless upgrade where the entire film is injected into the eyeball and viewed in one-quarter of a second, and their first Rivette title.

2084, huh? Someone's feeling optimistic. At this point, I'm planning to tell my future grandchildren to buy Criterion's first Rivette and lay it on my grave like flowers.

This is worth instituting a Post of the Year designation

That frame-rate seems incorrect for Breathless, I'm also not even sure if eyeball supports it. I don't think even hdmi does . Regardless, it doesn't seem to be correct.

But I have nothing to complain about right now.

See, something good came from lil ole me starting a two months worth of announcement guesses.
