A Night To Remember
A new year's gift from the CC, clues as to what to expect this year.
I always like to keep my picture speculation to myself, at least for awhile
I'm thinking the samurai are from "Three Outlaw Samurai", though.
I can't wait for La Jetee/Sans Soleil in Feb, my copy of La Jetee has seen better times
Edit: Also, I believe these are meant more as a "what they're working on" than what's coming out... I seem to remember a "Life Aquatic..." picture and a "Wild Strawberries" picture in last year's

They had a picture on Y Tu Mama Tambien for last year but didn't come out in 2011. They better get it right for this year. I heard Weekend by Jean-Luc Godard is going to come out along with a rumor for David Fincher's The Game. I really hope they release Breaking the Waves on Criterion as well.
The Iceberg is clearly A Night To Remember, and all the cars are Traffic. I'm hoping that the marionette is Being John Malkovich, and I think it'd be pretty neat to see the Coney Island sign being the original theatrical release of The Warriors.
Eh, I'll take a stab: Shallow Grave, Quadrophenia, Blow-Up and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.
The woman on the motorbike HAROLD AND MAUDE and the pentagram around her neck ROSEMARY'S BABY (Ruth Gordon having played both Maude and the neighbour in Rosemary's Baby).

My Collection
Good guesses so far for the New Year's doodle. The only thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is the sign with the mouth eating the leg---it's definitely EATING RAOUL. I'm pretty excited for A Night to Remember and Being John Malkovich (if that is indeed what the marionette represents).
I've been pathetically holding out for a Criterion release of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover ever since rumors started circulating a couple of years ago. That film was MADE for the CC treatment.
I do love the fake Criterion stuff. Yet, nothing was as good as the fake one for C.H.U.D. that the company actually made as a fake. Still, that would've been a hell of a release.
The Criterion Collection By The Numbers
People are freaking out over the fact that the "pop-up" Gojira in CC's Godzilla blu-ray resembles the 2002 "Millennium" version more than the original 1954 version. I personally could care less about that... that packaging needs some work
V Oh well, this is by no means as big of a deal as the aspect ratio "decision" for 'The Last Emperor'. I've personally been waiting for a Criterion Collection release of Godzilla since the laserdisc days (when they were supposed to do a box-set). Less than 2 weeks now...

^ It doesn't "resemble" it it is a screenshot from a different movie.
Though I don't think this is any worse than having the Ninja Turtle costumes from the third movie as the cover art for the first movie.
April
Harold and Maude
Late Spring
A Hollis Frampton Odyssey
The Organizer
¡Alambrista!
Just picked up Godzilla. Probably the coolest Criterion packaging yet, in my opinion.
It's a little pop-up Godzilla!
BLU upgrade of Grey Gardens coming.
Beginning at noon on Valentine's day all in stock DVD's and Blu-rays will be 50% off on the Criterion website. Plus if you created a My Criterion account and made a wish list you'll receive a $10 credit toward your order.
Had tons of trouble getting the order finalized but I finally got through, and picked up Hunger, Traffic, and Tiny Furniture.
Finally got through last night and picked up: Rushmore, The Thin Red Line and The Great Dictator.
Fantastic purchases, dude. Great Dictator is one of my favorite Criterion releases.
BLOW OUT is one of my favourite Criterion releases.
DePalma is so well represented on blu - it would be a dream to get BODY DOUBLE on blu soon as well.
Since we seem to be kind of on the subject, what's everyone's top 5 Criterion releases?
Mine are:
1. For All Mankind
2. Blow Out
3. Modern Times
4. House
5. Island Of Lost Souls
May
La haine
Being John Malkovich
Certified Copy
Summer Interlude
Summer with Monika
Eclipse Series 33: Up All Night with Robert Downey Sr.
1. High and Low
2. The Exterminating Angel
3. Kuroneko - seriously check this one out if you haven't, just gorgeous...
4. House
5. Stray Dog
psyched for John Malkovich, but really want to see the Bunuel material hit Blu-Ray
Have you seen Jigoku?
I was able to see it last year, its an extremely eerie film.
I'll try to post a top 5 of what I have
and what I'd like to have later. Also I picked up Godzilla
during the sale last week, and watched it last night.
That was probably the first time I've seen it in a decade, childhood memories everywhere.
June's Lineup is ridiculous. Probably the best lineup of the year, in my opinion.
The Gold Rush
Shallow Grave
Gray's Anatomy
And Everything Is Going Fine
The 39 Steps
The Samurai Trilogy
REALLY excited for The Gold Rush. I'm hoping they bring City Lights out by the end of the year, as well. Also pretty unexpected to see the Danny Boyle flick. I dig it.

I'm more excited about Shallow Grave and the two Soderbergh/Spalding Gray films along with The Gold Rush. I'm still waiting word about the possible Criterion releases for Y Tu Mama Tambien and Breaking the Waves.
