And a re-release of It's a Mad. Mad, Mad, Mad World with recently discovered scenes involving Fred Gywnne.

Oh, God, how could I have forgotten to mention the Stanley Kramer box set?

It's too much work to keep up with all the things I bitch about

Those aren't even domino-specific peeves, but forum-wide punchlines. What is this, a Comedy Central roast?

Monday's announcement: they got the rights to the StudioCanal films back, but they're doing a Kickstarter to raise money to release them on burned DVDs with no booklets.

I think at that point Chris would just delete the board and redirect to Mubi

They were asked about those Troell films, and the answer was "I loved those films, and would love to work on them, and we've tried, but haven't had any luck."

I know Warner Bros holds the rights to at least one of those films, if not both. So they may actually be part of any Warners deal.

Guesses for today...

MIDNIGHT COWBOY
THIN BLUE LINE
PROFOUND DESIRE OF THE GODS
CRIA CUERVOS Blu
THE CRANES ARE FLYING Blu
Mystery Eclipse (Czech New Wave Part Two?, Heinosuke Gosho?, Hideo Gosha?, Kaurismaki Part Three?, Bulldog Drummond?)

DeprongMori · #1884 Post by **DeprongMori** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 5:36 pm

My guesses:

MIDNIGHT COWBOY
THE COMPLETE CHAPLIN FIRST NATIONAL FILMS
WATERSHIP DOWN/THE PLAGUE DOGS set
New ECLIPSE set

THE KILLERS upgrade
SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER upgrade

I'm going to say that Watership Down will be a while away. From what I understand, Janus is making a new print to tour around first, but it hasn't been announced yet.

I just really hope they got The Plague Dogs alongside Watership Down and are sitting on it until work on that is done.

My outlandish wishes:

Limelight
Moonrise Kingdom
A Matter of Life and Death
Spirit of the Beehive BD
Crìa Cuervos BD

EDIT: And maybe a "Korda Comedies" Eclipse?

I just want another Chaplin. It's been way too long (City Lights came out last Nov.)

I would be surprised not to see a Chaplin announced this month or next.

ordinaryperson · Mon Nov 17, 2014 9:57 pm

I think Watership Down is coming pretty much all the crew just got phantom pages.

Drucker · #1891 Post by **Drucker** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:01 pm

Watership Down is up as is Satyricon.

FrauBlucher · #1892 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:05 pm

Don't Look Now and An Autumn Afternoon as well.

Drucker · #1893 Post by **Drucker** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:07 pm

Glad that An Autumn Afternoon is one of the three BFI blu-rays I don't own. Will gladly pick up the 4k edition from Criterion.

EddieLarkin · #1894 Post by **EddieLarkin** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:16 pm

The great thing about these new Ozu transfers being released is that they don't render the BFI versions obsolete. Quite happy to keep my copy for A Hen in the Wind.

Yaanu · #1895 Post by **Yaanu** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:22 pm

Meanwhile, A Day in the Country is on its way.

sir_luke · #1896 Post by **sir_luke** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:22 pm

Is anyone else seeing A Day in the Country anywhere on the site? It's mentioned on the homepage banner announcement, but it's not in the Coming Soon list. Should I just be patient?

jindianajonz · #1897 Post by **jindianajonz** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:23 pm

It's linked as the next spine on the Don't Look Now page

#1898 Post by **Finch** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:29 pm

Happy with those announcements: 4k transfers for An Autumn Afternoon and Don't Look Now (hopefully now without watercolours and with fixed audio), and Renoir's A Day in the Country.

:-"

Drucker · #1899 Post by **Drucker** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:34 pm

Whoa didn't see A Day in The Country, but that's wonderful news. A bit disappointing on the price-point for a 40 minute feature, even if there's an hour and a half long doc. I may end up picking up most of this month's releases for either my wife or myself.

Rolad · #1900 Post by **Rolad** » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:57 pm

Wow, February looks great! I might have to pick them all up. I can't even prioritize what I'm most excited about.
