Criterion Newsletter (Part 2)

[felipe]

Le Havre is heavily featured on the newsletter, so it'll probably be released by Criterion eventually, right?

[Perkins Cobb]

You guys got your newsletter many hours before I did. The heck...?

[Jeff]

Looks like a deal to release USA films through Universal.

Criterion has already released several USA/Focus titles (USA was absorbed by the Focus division of Universal when Uni bought it from Barry Diller): Traffic, In the Mood for Love, Topsy-Turvy, Monsoon Wedding, Ride with the Devil. We found out that BJM was likely in the works a couple of months ago, and there was some further speculation at that time.

Well I for one cannot wait to own a Criterion edition of BJM! \:D/ Plus, IIRC the extras on the current edition aren't stellar.

Frederick Wiseman's Primate?

[swo17]

Surely Criterion is talking to Alec Baldwin because they've acquired the rights from MGM to the recently OOP Miami Blues?

[domino harvey]

I wish, but I doubt it

[Cinephrenic]

Probably because of The Royal Tenenbaums. New upgrade.

[Drucker]

Clearly you haven't seen any of his incredible performances i.e. all of them.

Eclipse 35: Nicolas Cage: A National Treasure
It Could Happen To You
Trapped In Paradise
Ant Bully
Peggy Sue Got Married
Red Rock West

I can only assume you left out Valley Girl so that it could get its own spine number.

The Family Man/Valley Girl double disc Nick Cage's gender identity set. Don Cheadale gives commentary on the former.

Are you saying that you don't enjoy watching Spike Jonze vomit?

[med]

One can only hope that gets carried over.

[The Narrator Returns]

One can only hope that gets carried over.

That and the page with nothing on it.

I remember watching the DVD back in about 2000 and thinking that the extra feature that follows an extra as she drives back and forth on the Jersey Turnpike was the strangest supplement I'd seen on any disc so far.

Its cause she's come to look for America.

Was the "drunken dog" image connected to any of last month's reveals?

Someone on another board suggested Anatomy of a Murder, but as I saw the film a long time ago and didn't care for it I really can't remember if it applies.

Lee Remick's little dog in "Anatomy of a murder" is shown in court, drinking beer.

[swo17]

If that's what that clue was for, then none of us got it. I am so disappointed in us.

It's a turkey - many of those filmwise...

File is called "wacky chicken".

[SpiderBaby]

Cockfighter?

[domino harvey]

Even a broken cock is right two times a day

[swo17]

[Peacock]

Don't think it's Cockfighter, a Hitch-cock, Heaven's Gate, No Fear no Die etc.... it's definitely drawn a chicken and the file name reflects that...

No bandaged foot on the Chaplin. And that's another cock...
