Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread

Criterion changed the first page of the site to a directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa for the channel. That means announcements tomorrow

What's the connection?

[FrauBlucher]

I noticed whenever they update the front page on announcement day before announcements are revealed, the announcements fall to the next day

[Blutarsky]

Same goes for their Instagram page. If a new post/story drops before 9am PST chances are the announcement is the following day.

Today we got the Herbert Nordrum in the closet post at 7am PST.

Nice one, FB.

[Lowry_Sam]

...and now that you've mentioned it, watch them mess up your prognostication tool next month (probably too late for this month).

[FrauBlucher]

No doubt as they play I spy

[Finch]

Since The Devils opens today theatrically in the US, I guess it's either now or never for Criterion to reveal whether they still have it. Maybe that's why there were no announcements yesterday.

Unless they're saving it for February (flash sale) or July (B&N sale).

Interesting that they delayed the titles and didn’t have a “pardon our delay post” this time

Hopefully that doesn't mean they're being delayed until Monday.

They are up
Parasite UHD
MidnightCowboy UHD
Scorsese World Cinema 6
Career Girls
Deliverance
Chocolat

A Jon Voight month

[Finch]

Nothing for me, maybe the Boorman.

[Mr.DarjeelingLimited]

Stanger and the Fog is one of the greatest films ever made.

[dwk]

Looks like Midnight Cowboy is a UHD only edition with a special feature Blu-ray that has additional extras over their earlier Blu-ray.

[Drucker]

Chocolat appears to be blu-ray only.

[JSC]

So is Career Girls.

[HardNight'sDay]

And Scorsese's WCP vol.6 is blu ray too.

[Toby Dammit]

Nothing for me

[FrauBlucher]

Same

[Lowry_Sam]

yawn...and another slate no one guessed this month, though we can finally knock off Midnight Cowboy, Parasite & Deliverance as add ons now.

[ryannichols7]

Chocolat has been confirmed so long that people stopped guessing it every month

[What A Disgrace]

Very surprised and delighted to see another WCP set after only a year. Perhaps annual, January releases are the way forward for the series?

[Finch]

Definitely feels low-key for January. Chocolat was long rumoured (and was already available through the BFI for US importers), as was Deliverance and two UHD upgrades, one of which not a lot of people can have been clamouring for (Parasite, with the existing Universal 4K). At least the World Cinema fans have something to look forward too.

Chocolat and the WCP films are on my watchlist, for sure, but I’m not blind buying them. I already have the Curzon UHD of Parasite, although it’s in storage at the moment.
