Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread

[mteller]

So.... are they just blowing it off this month or did I miss something?

Yep, they're just blowing it off this month. No releases at all. I can tell because they didn't announce anything on the 15th, a date no one ever promised you, and one they haven't consistently stuck to for months. I guess they just don't care anymore.

[jedgeco]

Those pesky interns. Don't they realize what a huge responsibility it is to let Criterion Nation get timely announcements. Sigh.

They probably all left to get tattoos again.

[movielocke]

I'm going to venture that the lack of upgrades indicates a big upgrade project that got pushed off the schedule last minute delaying announcements as well. I'm guessing either varda or the war trilogy. We will probably have a lot of upgrades in February.

There's a lot of stuff celebrating 1966 & the musical & social revolution, especially in the UK, just getting into print 50 years on (such as is this - 1966: the year youth culture exploded), pointing to BLOW UP coming to Criterion BR sometime in 2016, its 50 th anniversary...
