Dang I only put the absurd/stupid Problem Child as some sort of superstition thinking it somehow might increase the chance of Au Hasard appearing out of nowhere. You just went with all of them. If your month comes true then my bank account gets drained.
By the way, I know this gets posted elsewhere, but the upgrades are a little...random? La Strada, Passion of Joan of Arc, Rublev....kind of a "it's going to happen at some point" deal?

Has there been any hint, or do we have any idea, if there will be upgrades to the David Lean Dickens adaptations? I really want those two, but I want them on blu ray.

Is that so? Interesting. How come it is taking them so long to upgrade
Spartacus, for example? You would think it is a popular criterion and the stock would be depleted by now.

$50 Msrp for a 15 year old DVD is pretty hard to swallow and probably means extremely few units move. I almost bought it the first few BN sales but didn't because it was so much more expensive (and I didn't know how to exploit the discounts then) and then it got to the point the DVD is so old it seems pointless to pick it up particularly as it is so pricey.

So, anytime an upgrade is announced and someone goes "I just bought the dvd. You're welcome," we should really be thanking them.

I tried to see who the winner for the month was, but oddly, nobody won. The best anyone got was naming one title.
So congratulations to everyone who posted either Straw Dogs upgrade or the two people who posted They Live by Night!
Thanks for playing, try again next month.
-edit
Actually, DeprongMori wins with 2 -with their February guesses:
Ghost World
They Live By Night
The Marseille Trilogy
Dheepan
Jeanne Dielman upgrade
Written on the Wind upgrade

Yes Trump was urged by Steve Bannon to reinstate it. The singing of 'Onward Christian Soldiers' is also mandatory at church services.

Not that I know of, just more of a hopeful set of films (the rest of which just happened to be more realistic/on the way).
