Lonesome lists the silent version of The Last Performance (1929) and the "reconstructed" sound version of Broadway (1929) in its bonus.

Strongest month this year yet: Weekend is an excellent film and I'm chuffed to see it included in the collection (time to sell the very solid UK BD), Lonesome and La Promesse are must-haves (I didn't care for Rosetta).

Which, technically, is titled Week End anyway.

The Royal Tenenbaums Blu pushes it over the top for me. My favorite WA film.

Lonesome looks poised to be the release of the year. The Dardennes seem a little light on extras but it will be great to have them on Blu-ray anyway. La promesse is one of my all-time faves.

Surprised by the $40 MSRP on those considering the light extras.

It's a nice month, but Fox stole the thunder with its amazing Margaret news

The Foundas conversation will likely be of substantial length, right? I would have to think that's our significant supplement there.

Pretty good month overall, but something just came to thought that could be a little bit of a downer for me. Does everyone remember the picture that Criterion posted on Facebook months ago, the one that showed a list of titles barely visible that they were working on for 2012? Well, one of those titles that people saw was "Mahler," the Ken Russell film that I've been anxiously awaiting ever since. Since this month saw an Eclipse set of films by Norman Mailer, was there a chance that the word "Mailer" is what everyone saw instead of "Mahler"?

Glad to see Tenenbaums Blu-ray. Not that I have that I'm interested, but it will keep some whiners shut for a while.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Tough Guys Don't Dance in the Mailer set.

All of facebook?

The Mailer eclipse makes it over a year since they've done a Japanese eclipse, considering we've had two japanese releases a year, every year, that's the longest layoff in between releases from that country. I wonder if the next japanese one will be a much needed silent Ozu set, more mizoguchi, shimizu or naruse, a set along the lines of the Nikkatsu noir, or a surprise like Kurahara.

Also, it'll be interesting if we get just six eclipse this year, or seven releases, as we did in 2007. I presume we'll get six, probably some of those much rumored box sets in the mainline in September, November and December and an eclipse release in October.

I don't read Criterion's Facebook page much these days, but I can't help but imagine there are still plenty of "MOAR WES ANDERSON" requests. It probably won't stop until Criterion releases everything up to and including Moonrise Kingdom on Blu-ray.

Does Facebook even count as actual discourse? Everyone whines at Criterion about everything on there. What is it you're looking to get out of it that you'll now get out of it since The Royal Tenenbaums was announced?

I realize the Lonesome release is an absolutely incredible package otherwise, but is anyone else a little disappointed that they didn't include the silent version of Lonesome? I'm sure the partial-talkie version is truly the definitive one, but having only seen the silent version I guess I'm a tad worried the talkie scenes will detract from it a bit. Guess I shouldn't make too many judgments before I see it.

Exactly. Which is why I long ago gave up on the Facebook page. I can't speak for eerik, obviously.

Is the silent version actually different, or does it just omit the two talkie scenes?

I believe, just with the talkie scenes omitted.

That said, there are some titles that people (facebook and bluray.com) just won't shut up about... The Game, Following, Badlands, any Wes Andersons, etc etc. I'm sure they'll move on to Fight Club or something now that Tenenbaums has been replaced, but wow, that crowd can be annoying/predictable.
