Has there ever actually been a double clue, aside from the year-end free-for-alls?

I keep what I know quiet from the forums now because I'm afraid it will flood the Facebook page, but I'm a 100% sure it's Belle De Jour. It's been in progress for a while now.

Isn't the fact that there never has been one itself a clue that there will be one any day now?

I have a feeling that if CC ever announces an Andrei Rublev BD, the internet will explode.

The apparent absence of double clues is itself a clue.

Forget double clues. This is finally the elusive triple clue. Belle de jour (obviously the main clue), Diving Bell and the Butterfly (the bell is diving into that soup), and Andrei Rublev (there's a bell in the movie, but the soup is just a red herring).

And we can now add clue 3B: The Triplets of Belleville.

Don't they eat soup at some point in La belle et la bête? Is this perhaps also a retroactive clue?

It's clearly the first retroactive clue for Beauty and the Beast

The spoon indicates Wiseau is getting a spine. Perhaps this means the first 3-D Criterion blu. Plus, a booklet with Wiseau's investigation into HD vs. film.

Please, Tommy Wiseau sold out as soon as he labelled The Room a "black comedy." He's lost all his artistic integrity!

I'd bet my newly acquired copy of Fanfan that a CC edition of Heartbeats is in the pipeline.
This is now streaming on Netflix, DVD released by MPI this week.
