Uh-oh, Criterion is messing with their website layout and it isn't too pretty.
In positive news, we can now sort by country and director.

True, but now we can see how they rank.. like the top five director's represented:Tribe wrote:That's not new...one could always sort like that.
Akira Kurosawa - 35
Ingmar Bergman - 26
Yasujiro Ozu - 22
Louis Malle - 16
James Ivory - 13
Although I thought this odd:
Charles Chaplin - 1
Charlie Chapin - 1

Re: Criterion Web Site
What's more odd, they have "Robert Rossen - 0" listed too. And his Alexander the Great is listed on some of the "explore people" pages, though a page for the film doesn't exist. Maybe it'll appear in a future Eclipse set? Wonder if there's any other oddities in there.

Re: Criterion Web Site
I love Rossen (almost wrote my thesis on him), but that's one of his weakest films, one that's only interesting from the auteur standpoint, and even then tough to sit through

Costa-Gavras is weirdly broken into two different people, too. I'm guessing they haven't quite ironed the bugs out.Minkin wrote:True, but now we can see how they rank.. like the top five director's represented:Tribe wrote:That's not new...one could always sort like that.

Re: Criterion Web Site
Specifically, I'm guessing that director is a column in their catalog table, and not a foreign key reference to a directors table.matrixschmatrix wrote:Costa-Gavras is weirdly broken into two different people, too. I'm guessing they haven't quite ironed the bugs out.
Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Thought I'd mention this here, it appears that pages are up for Ken Russell and Jacques Rivette, with no films listed yet. Could this mean respective films by them will be joining the collection this month?

Sad thought, but wondered if the 'long delayed' title could be a Rivette in a 'French New Wave' eclipse..

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Interesting find, though it would appear that Criterion has blank pages like that for all sorts of random directors, including Mike Nichols, Sadao Yamanaka, Giuseppe De Santis, Edward Dmytryk, Lucrecia Martel, Leni Riefenstahl, etc.criterion10 wrote:Thought I'd mention this here, it appears that pages are up for Ken Russell and Jacques Rivette, with no films listed yet.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Over at the Criterion facebook page, which I comment on frequently, it appears that a crazy amount of new pages are being discovered.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
I'm starting to get the feeling that these pages are more or less placeholders for titles Criterion has the rights to and is planning to release in the near future and that it doesn't necessairly mean we will be getting these titles this month. Still, they are interesting finds, and in a sense, a confirmation for some titles that they will be joining the collection eventually.

We're obviously not getting them all this month but it does more or less confirm what they're planning to release in the next 6 months or so.

It confirms that someone at Criterion has heard of these directors. That's about it.

I think it confirms a bit more than that. We know that titles from these directors are coming (not this month, though).

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Yeah, more like a 'we have rights to some film by this director and could release release it in the next twenty years if we feel like it'. I found Diane Kurys, Claude Autant-Lara, Emir Kusturica, Jean Delannoy and Koji Shima ...none of which are likely to be out soon.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
There are clearly dozens, maybe even hundreds, of these pages set up on Criterion's site. Even if they all signify a future release, it would take years for Criterion to get through them all.
