And what is the significance of the pig? Is that an inside joke about Fassbinder? He actually was quite a homely looking chap.
And anyone else notice the reference that Criterion is prepping Night On Earth for release? That seems like big news to me... or perhaps I'm the only one who didn't know of that prior.

For a very short moment I actually thought that this might suggest SALO's re-release but then....

It has been pointed out every month that the "wacky animals" are not clues. They are merely references to past releases.
This month's animal is the boar from The Lord of the Flies.

I remember dreaming of this release as far back as 1998, and even though we've known that it's coming for a little while now, it'll still be crazy to actually behold a Criterion edition of "Alexanderplatz".

WOW - It was March 24,2005 when I posted that DVDBeaver had announced that Criterion was going to release this. It's taken a while, but should be worth the wait!

15 1/2 hours of Criterion quality restoration, who knows how many special features and commentaries, and thinking of and creating a bad ass box set to house it all in would take almost 3 years.

From DVDBeaver:
"From the DVDBeaver ListServ (Thanks Pepsi!):
BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ
"Finnish Digital-TV has broadcasted now 12 of the 15 parts of BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ. The new restoration made by Fassbinder Foundation. I must say that this is the biggest disappointment of the year, I do hope Criterion can do wonders, or postpone the release and make a new restoration. I actually get a headache if I even look at the image for more than two minutes - I'm gonna drop the viewing and wait for the Criterion. If someone have the old tapes, don't throw it away yet!..."
