I'm convinced the troubles mentioned above by pzman84 and other posters elsewhere are linked to the recent deal with IMAGE.

The troubles seemed to start around that time and would explain the delays etc.

Doubt it. Criterion always mentions other films but never releases any of them... With minor exceptions.

seasonal cue.

from Exodus:

And Criterion did descend from the heavens in all its writhing glory and said unto the world, "Good people of the land, I bring you good news. Cue Autumn." And the leaves fell from the trees.

The underlying source materials for "Equinox Flower" and "Late Autumn" seem to be in much better shape that that for "Autumn Afternoon". If I was Criterion -- I would go for one of these (less technically problematic) films first.

Not that it adds to a strong case either for or against any of the above titles, but there's still the possibly meaningless but nevertheless twitterpating appearance on Amazon of this title and this one.

I just wanted to see if anyone else got the email about the new contest?

Dylan · #108 Post by **Dylan** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 12:10 pm

Yes, and I entered it right away. They didn't indicate whether we should include our mailing address though (most online contests request it), but I put mine at the end of the e-mail anyway.

All of the April titles sound absolutely wonderful, so of course I hope to win. But good luck to everybody who enters (and everybody should, it's a very easy question*)...has any of our members won a Criterion contest yet?

Just wondering is this US only?

Oh well, I entered anyway, let's see what happens

Actually, it's what five Criterion titles won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar....

I was one of the winners of the first contest and am living happily ever after with Roeg and Bowie...

You're both half-correct.

If you can name just five of the dozen-plus Criterion titles that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, then you will be entered in a random drawing to win one of these titles or an upcoming April release....

the contest was clearly mentioned in the newsletter. I greedily didn't post about it.

mikeohhh · #114 Post by **mikeohhh** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 4:34 am

Wow, this is easy. The first six winners from when Best Foreign Language Film became a competitive award in 1956 are all Criterions, for starters.

Congratulations to the winners of last month's Oscar contest. Free DVDs were awarded to Seth Engel, Kate Diehn, Jon Witmer, Captain Bob, and Charles K. Noyes.

That's funny -- one of the winners was the brilliantly sick composer and musician Charles K. Noyes. I'm only too happy to lose to him. And "Captain Bob," too.

Antoine Doinel · #117 Post by **Antoine Doinel** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 5:41 pm

Any speculation on what the "New Look, New Line" coming this fall is?

Narshty · #118 Post by **Narshty** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 5:42 pm

None whatsoever.

"New look ... new line ... coming this fall" = Confirmation of Eclipse?

could this be confirmation of eclipse possibly?

SHOCKMASTER · #122 Post by **SHOCKMASTER** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:53 pm

A new line of Criterion fashion maybe? Tee-shirts? Polos? Fleece jackets?

blindside8zao · #123 Post by **blindside8zao** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:54 pm

btw, the C has a file name of "wacky_c.gif" Can we therefore conclude that the new company is not Eclipse but actually Wacky C.?

so you're saying criterion has genetically engineered some sort of new animal, nicknamed "c"? I think there's no other logical explanation...
