I have delegation powers from Minkin, if someone more invested in furthering the post-announcement Roundup would like to bring the competitive element back

EDIT: This role has been claimed

Should we rename the thread to "Always-Open Leak Thread for Insiders Only"? Then, if someone posts in it, you know they're an insider

Personally, I still see this thread as a competition - one that I always lose

I will be doing this moving forward - looking forward to every 15th (or 16th, 17th...) with you all. I'll copy Minkin's old format and will keep my comments on the releases in the Roundup post unbiased - strictly on whether we knew a title was coming, where it came from, et al. and I'll correctly note anyone who guessed anything right. I miss the newsletter clues and really any sort of clue at all, so I'll be on the lookout for any.

as for my own guesses..

I wish, but I think it’s too soon. It hasn’t hit the Janus page yet and I suspect a tour.

Prediction 1: not today
Prediction 2: something by Godard. I'll go with Contempt

Trouble In Paradise Upgrade

Today is my birthday and Trouble In Paradise is my favorite film in the Collection. If it’s not announced today I’m taking it personally.

Trouble In Paradise (Blu-ray)
The Crowd
Ball Of Fire
Freaks

I'll go with:

The Color of Money
Cooley High
I Know Where I'm Going! [upgrade]
Mudbound [4K UHD]
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Trouble in Paradise [upgrade]

I'm still convinced Eyes Wide Shut is coming down the pipeline at some point, but it seems like too big of a title to drop in December.

I added The Color of Money to my guesses because of the new Disney deal... and damn, it needs a new transfer.

I'll second the previous poster on Contempt blu or 4K--which would make it poignantly timed with Godard's passing.

Lost In Translation 4K
Sorrentino's The Hand of God (which blu-ray.com still has slated for *early* 2022 )
Rohmer's The Four Seasons

Any of these would make my Christmas, even though I'll probably wait until the next B&N or flash sale.
