A new Skillman blog on Hands Over the City. This definitely confirms the idea that Criterion's logo switch was used for covers designed with the old logo in mind.

Oh, definitely not single.

She the kind of person that this forum should not really pick on right about now because she happens to be the most forthcoming when it comes to telling us what "is in the works". 
By the way, she told me that Rush Hour 3 is coming in a new 2-disc set featuring a Peter Cowie commentary and a visual essay by Ebert.

Rosenbaum's holding out on seeing Rush Hour 3 until he can be sure it's not getting any acclaim.

well, I *would* like to see more Polanski in the collection...

Am I the only person who thinks it is a good move to have a person not particularly interested in film manning the front office? So she won't be star struck or annoy the people who come in or telephone by chatting about how much she likes their films or whether she can have their autograph. I know I would if I was in her position... they would never get past me to see the person they wanted to actually talk to! It would be quite endearing to have somebody who wouldn't bat an eyelid putting Mr Bertolucci through to Ms Henderson, who wouldn't be hassling every visitor to sign her petition against windowboxing, or who would not read Mr Ehrenstein's submitted essay before passing it on to the fifth floor (maybe after photocopying it for further perusal)!
Of course Mr Polanski would be interrogated in depth about his Rush Hour 3 cameo, but that would be more his fault for having appeared in the film itself!

Well, Criterion had her post either (a) to gall us to no end or (b) to show us they have a sense of humor and aren't a bunch of black turtlenecks genuflecting at their Temple of Godard all day.

I think the Criterion Collection needs more Seth Rogen.

any more than the current none seems excessive.

New blog post by Jonathan Turrell up, about Telluride. He mentions People on Sunday as forthcoming from Criterion next year. For those who aren't familiar with the film, it has possibly the greatest filmmaker pedigree of any film ever made - directed by Robert and Curt Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, and Fred Zinnemann; written by the Siodmaks and a very young Billy Wilder; cinematography by Eugene Schuftan.

He also mentions: "a new website, and a new store. All very exciting . . ." at the bottom of his post.

Wow, People on Sunday, what a fantastic surprise. Its one of those "desert island" films for me. I could watch it a million times. I'm ecstatic that Criterion are putting it out, but what do I do with the BFI edition?

I was just reading the comments on this on IMDB. It sounds like a Weimar neo-realist pseudo-documentary? I've never heard of this...any more in depth commentary anyone who has seen it can offer?souvenir wrote:New blog post by Jonathan Turrell up, about Telluride.

Great to hear about People On Sunday. I was just reading about it and was about to go looking for a DVD release!
