As was pointed out over at blu-ray's forum's, this month's image url actually gives away the clue:

Yawn, Dr. Strangelove

Borrrrrring

Hey, there's no boredom in the boreroom.

There must be an awful lot of semen in that bottle. They should have gone with a smaller receptacle.

Wait, maybe this is a clue for the finale to Happiness

Maybe they're releasing the episode of Community where everyone gets a canister of Pierce's sperm.

The biggest surprise of that newsletter was referring to Paul Schneider's Parks and Rec role as "beloved."

Criterion must be moving and need to use his truck

Surely it's for an upgrade of Vampyr.

"Come quickly! I'm losing blood!"
...

I guess by now this is news to no one, but Criterion also mentions in their latest newsletter that they are working on restoring The New World.

Maybe he's in the office because they're working on The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which would be amazing.

Or maybe he was just in the neighborhood, which is just as likely.

Begs the question, can one just wander into Criterion and check the place out?

To honest, it's not hard to get into. I've been up there several times to get replacement discs or trade ins when they were doing that. I didn't go as far as the waiting room, which is kind of opened to the rest of the office. Just a divider blocking from seeing anything significant. Lots of pictures and posters on the walls and film books scattered about. The folks were friendly.

Depends. What's your risk-tolerance on being arrested?

I actually visited and went inside THE closet (and had my picture taken there) so yes.
(I also went a few days earlier after most people had left and a picture restorer actually showed me a few clips of Speedy and Lady Snowblood).

Cool! They did let you take movies for free like they do with famous people?

I didn't bother to ask, I was too surprised and pleased to even touch the cases.

A Touch of Zen

Oh, thank god. My first thought was Little Buddha.

I was hoping for Pokémon
