For the past few months the newsletter has come the second week of the month, but there's no clear date. I'd be surprised if we got it later than Friday, but beyond that...

Well, let's be realistic here. Do we really need to comtemplate "beyond that?"

justeleblanc · #252 Post by **justeleblanc** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 8:20 pm

Typically, doesn't the newsletter come after the new months announcements?

I'm more excited about the announcements than hearing the newsletter say.... "Look for more Ozu in 2007!"

Cinephrenic · #253 Post by **Cinephrenic** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 8:30 pm

It's probably going to mention The Third Man.

arsonfilms · #254 Post by **arsonfilms** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 11:55 pm

I'm actually anticipating either a "look for Rohmer's Moral Tales in 2006" or a third mention of Playtime. Or, if we're lucky, a tip on Fallen Idol and Army of Shadows in 2007.

Ah, but joking aside, I'm putting my money on a cartoon David Bowie with a little cartoon bubble asking us to "look for September announcements in another two weeks."

Close, it will be a cartoon Art Garfunkel. And he'll be telling us that he didn't have time to announce the September releases.

What's up with this:

tavernier · #257 Post by **tavernier** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 4:46 pm

The announcement in the June newsletter is:

"Criterion Couture Coming Soon"

So Criterion is coming now with its own clothing line?

Cinesimilitude · #259 Post by **Cinesimilitude** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 4:50 pm

T-shirts? Or maybe the Altman film...pret a porter?

ellipsis7 · #261 Post by **ellipsis7** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 5:58 pm

Probably both... These announcements tend to be wordplay with a couple of meanings... There's the established Altman link and Pret A Porter appears to be OOP in other editions...

Ashirg · #262 Post by **Ashirg** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 6:04 pm

Pret A Porter is available from Miramax/Buena Vista. I doubt it's this film. Sounds more like Criterion decided to copy Masters of Cinema...

ellipsis7 · #263 Post by **ellipsis7** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 6:12 pm

OMG - yes I've found it from Miramax under the title Ready to Wear - doesn't have the same ring to it...

Nihonophile · #264 Post by **Nihonophile** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 7:17 pm

O! It is here. The
Criterion Newsletter.
Couture? Fuck you guys.

jesus the mexican boi · Fri Jun 09, 2006 7:25 pm

Obviously it means we're getting the Criterion treatment for this beloved series. Waylon Jennings commentary a must.

I seem to remember that somebody from this from asked Criterion if they were looking to put out some "swag" in one of Matt's Q&A some years ago. Looks like they listened...

THX1378 · #267 Post by **THX1378** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:11 pm

Guys thats one of the monsters from Equlinox. I think we just got a hint that Eclipse is on it's way.

U sure it doesnt mean we can soon buy Criterion T-shirts?

BTW- I won fifth place on the haiku contest. I cant even remember the original rules- do I get a dvd?

thethirdman · #270 Post by **thethirdman** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:18 pm

Criterion gave out t-shirts to some contest winners a couple months ago.

Form the April newsletter: "Plus, five additional contestants were awarded new Criterion T-shirts."

Didn't we already get one of those a month or two back?

May be HDVD or blue-ray I suspect.

Yeah, the newsletter's practically dripping with hints to that effect...

Cinesimilitude · #274 Post by **Cinesimilitude** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 1:59 am

well, I dont think its their HD announcement at all, but once criterion announces which format they go with, thats who I'll back. I'm praying it's HD-DVD...

So, has anyone managed to figure out the bonus question from this month's Dazed and Confused soundtrack contest:
