Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol. 4

[The Narrator Returns]

And now the announcement's gone. That was embarrassing.

[ryannichols7]

they're adding something, maybe?

[matrixschmatrix]

Haha, maybe there's actually more stuff to announce

[Askew]

Eclipse 36: Three Wicked Melodramas from Gainsborough Pictures

[jedgeco]

Announcements are up -- only addition is Three Wicked Melodramas from Gainsborough Pictures.

[ryannichols7]

spine 629 for SBS...and then 634 for Rosemary's?

hmm...

[SpiderBaby]

4 spines, Wenders?

[zedz]

Forgiveness of Blood is a film I've been meaning to see. I did see Maria Full of Grace which I thought was excellent. Joshua Marston is quite talented. I'm certainly interested. These are the kind of IFC releases that I'm happy to see.

It's not bad, but certainly not as good as Maria Full of Grace. No Catalina Sandino Moreno (or equivalent) makes quite a difference.

[ryannichols7]

well if the Wenders set is four movies, they'd probably assign a fifth number to the box itself. so it's probably something other, like the Pasolini.

[SpiderBaby]

Fine by me. Looking forward to both.

[ryannichols7]

me too. and by the looks of it, both could come next month at this point (I could see Pasolini being bumped back to the first week of November due to some sort of delay)

I saw on another forum that 630-633 is this:



I don't know where that info or picture came from though.

[Frumaster]

Is it normal for Criterion to skip spine numbers and delay the corresponding titles? (any past examples?)

[swo17]

Benjamin Button

[CSM126]

Lord of the Flies (?)

It's happened dozens and dozens of times over the past 14 years

[mfunk9786]

That cover is amazing. I really hope that's for real.

I can't give any specific examples, but there used to be spine number holes all the time before Criterion's announcements got more regimented, and those holes would get plugged in with later releases.

[CSM126]

Oh, duh: Spine Number One! Grand Illusion was delayed for, what, a year?

[Finch]

In The Mood for Love and Rosemary's Baby on Blu - sorry MoC but Criterion owns October!

[brendanjc]

Seems like a missed opportunity not to bend the rules further and make Rosemary's Baby spine #666.

I'm sure you can find loads of examples if you rifle through this list.

[Cash Flagg]

After Kim Newman's announcement of a new booklet essay for The Blob, I had assumed an October release was all but certain.

Mteller, could you provide a link for where you found that Pasolini art? Thanks.
