Goodness. Didn’t know this would cause such strife. The text joke font has still yet to be solved by me.

Have they ever skipped a month entirely for announcements?

No, and they're not going to now.

I just got that "Crit Mess" is supposed to be pronounced like Christmas

It's like a Kanye West sorta-rhyme, the kind of linguistic stretch I can really admire

If the holdup is a matter of crossing a t or dotting a lower case j then they very well may take all day.FrauBlucher wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 7:38 amIf they do drop the titles today, I hope they are kind enough not to drag this out all day
EDIT: Though it looks as though Haxan's cover is out, so announcements finally do look imminent.

It’s pretty good but it obviously doesn’t top “collagen/apologin’”.mfunk9786 wrote:It's like a Kanye West sorta-rhyme, the kind of linguistic stretch I can really admire

So with Haxan definitely confirmed now, we can assume the delay was a side effect of Bressonaire messing in witchcraft

So #1000 is either the Godzilla set or we're waiting until next month. Compelling twist!

Criterion just tweeted 1000 will be announced next week. The fun(?) continues.

Time to open the speculation thread back up! Who's excited?!

Excepting the almost certain Godzilla box, these were the only correct guesses:
I suppose I get negative points for my joke about them not releasing Matewan because of the Amazon strike
edit: oh yeah... there were a couple of guesses for "beatnik clue" which ended up being WWWK.

I was thinking that once they highlighted Matewan in the HTF podcast/video that HTF was able to post the other day that it may be announced sooner rather than later.

If there's no announcement until next week, that implies that either a) they won't announce the set on this panel or b) the Godzilla set isn't #1000.

Are rights issues likely the hold up for Godzilla? And doesn't that make it a strong likelihood for ending the 1000 speculation?

It's a real outlier of a month. I think only the Eclipse set with five Naruse silents beats it!We so rarely get silent films from Criterion, who would have thought we would get 2 releases (4 films) in one month!!!

Three things for now:
~ Very excited for the two upgrades, especially the von Sternberg set and definitely will be getting them in November.
~ The cover for Häxan gives me a Midsommar vibe.
~ Yet am feeling a bit underwhelmed with these announcements. I can’t be the only one, right?

I imagine it's because of the lead-up (who wouldn't be disappointed with this troll job!), and the fact that there's only two new titles added to the collection. But I could be wrong.

I can only speak for my workplace - it's mid-July, and a ton of people go on vacation around the same time during this part of the year, for obvious reasons. It's entirely possible that Criterion just had lower bandwidth than usual to put announcements together, especially with the Godzilla press conference coming. There could be totally banal reasons behind this "troll job"

Still doesn't excuse such a benign set of announcements though
