They're just trying to let us believe for as long as possible that they would actually release both Rivette and A Brighter Summer Day.

They will probably be giving us a clue per day before announcing titles after Christmas...

I don't care for any Rivette unless it's "L'amour fou" :evil: Or, okay, a watchable version of "Jeanne la Pucelle".

Anyone notice the slight site redesign? I think that's likely what the issue is...

You're talking about the addition of "Current Posts," etc on the main page? I believe it's been that way from the beginning of the week at least.

Yeah, I thought the advent of the quarantined "even more pointless speculation than usual" guessing thread would have at least kept the hand-wringing "the announcement about the new releases is ten minutes late! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!" posts quarantined as well. But we can't have everything.

EDIT: Help! How did I get in here! Where's the exit?!

i think it's an example that the macro block compression artifact is baked into the film element and there's nothing they can do about it. ;)

And placing it almost exactly at the vanishing point of the image adds to the existential intrigue, I guess...

The construction of the giant Dustin Hoffman statue inside the walkway of Criterion headquarters is draining all of their time and resources.

I know it's a no-no on the forum, but I think this warrants a hearty ell-oh-ell. Or maybe a ho-ho-ho.

All those delays were so Jon Mulvaney could work on getting Jaleel White and Reginald VelJohnson together in the same room to sign off on :::::::::::kogonothankyouada:::::::'s new conceptual piece, "The Matters of Family". A Brighter Summer Day has been delayed indefinitely as a result of resources already being allotted.

Put this in the "adjust schedules accordingly" category. January 15 falls on a Friday. Monday is Martin Luther King Jr day here in the States. So, going by past trends we will get January announcements on Tuesday the 19.
