It is Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds, part of the Warner Bros deal.
Seeing as Thomas "Henry" Edison invented the light bulb, this is a rare triple clue for Limelight, Green Lantern and a reissue of Henry Lime's The Third Man.
Harry Lime, and I'm not getting the Edison connection.

That light is clearly Green for Danger.

Also, as "Limelight" is a Rush song, and Alex (Zivojinovic) Lifeson appears in Come On Children, expect a second box of Allan King docs.

It's not for a film at all. It is the announcement that they hired misterlime to handle all customer service inquiries.

Interesting, but incorrect.

The lightbulb is green. Green is my favorite color. The release I'm most looking forward to is 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Therefore it's a double-clue, which is a very real thing that definitely exists.

You're all wrong about it being a light bulb. It's an elephant's fat ass, therefore is's The Green Elephant.

Green is your favorite color, but blue is the warmest color. The new edition is on its way.

It's obviously a fruit that isn't ripe, and if you plug in this particular one, you'd get The Scent of Green Papaya.

If this was comedy night at the Criterion Forum, the lot of you would have earned a round of drinks. Laughter is indeed fine medicine.

So does the NYD newsletter drop at midnight or later in the day?

By looking back at the time of the first comments from the last couple NYDs on their site, they seem to be posting them anywhere between 8-10 in the morning, EST.

They have released the NYD in the 7am est hour in the couple of years. The time inicators are an hour ahead. The time doesn't change when the clocks are changed in the fall when standard daylight time ends.

Should be Costa-Gavras' The Confession. Criterion has it on Hulu.
