Criterion Newsletter (Part 3)

*sigh* I thought that it was The Bed Sitting Room. I'm no good at this...

[Ribs]

Okay, so does this mean that Orion Pictures is for sure back on the map, license-wise? I'd kill for Time After Time.

Orion isn't an entity anymore. Most of their films are owned by MGM, which MBL is. TAT is owned by Warner.

Sigh, it appears Warner Bros. also owns all of my hopes and dreams.

Drat, I was hoping dryer = Dreyer and pageant = The Passion of Joan of Arc.

That's rather clever. Wrong, but clever nonetheless.

[Ribs]

Can we pull this one out again? It's 14 months old at this point. Is there anything released in the past year that this could apply to, or are we all still thinking Midnight Cowboy?

[swo17]

That one turned out to be It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

ILL, SORE POSSUM has been postulated.

That's gotta be it. I believe that clue came out in November 2013, and Il Sorpasso was announced in January. No way we're still waiting on Midnight Cowboy after all this time, and the MGM Blu-Ray is still in print.

THE MEERKAT OF FOUR SNEEZES

Drat, I was hoping dryer = Dreyer and pageant = The Passion of Joan of Arc.

I was also trying to figure out how it would work for Dreyer.

How long did it take for Grey Gardens to finally show up on Blu-ray after the clue? I remember it was a long-friggin-time.

I think it was exactly a year.

It was close to two years. Newsletter clue was on 1/19/12, and the Blu-ray came out on 12/10/13 (formally announced 9/16/13).

No, I remember before the hint was released Kim Hendrickson said that a John Schlesinger film was coming and it wasn't "Darling"

Was released in 2012.

It was more than 2 years ago, when Kim Hendrickson said that they did not have Darling. I recently asked TT about Darling. In reply, they said that it has recently been picked up by another company before they could do something about it. It is possible that Criterion has finally picked it up.

Does anyone know of the state-side status of "Darling?" StudioCannal is working on the anniversary-release sometime this year for the UK, but there's no indication about the R1 release to my knowledge.

Redman (TT) totld me that it's coming soon in USA. So, either it's coming from Criterion or from Lionsgate. Hopefully, it will happen in 2015.

[Moe Dickstein]

Orion films from early in their run are with WB as they were the financing. After that early period (Caddyshack, Time After Time, etc) they went independent and those films are now under the MGM umbrella.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's"?

[rockysds]

The Tray/Tree of Life?

Mikey and Nicky, (cf. the Life commercial) maybe.

[ordinaryperson]

"The Breakfast Club"?

[ShellOilJunior]

Malick must really be delivering the goods on this one. I expect a director's cut.
