I'm trying to figure if they mean a Canadian film with a plot similar to the Sturges movie (my favorite of his, for what that's worth) or one that happens to take place around Christmas. If I were taking a wild guess, perhaps Mon oncle Antoine?

The strange/funny/ironic thing is after I saw this post last night I was watching Conan O'Brian and There was a hilarious joke about how Criterion Has announced a 3-disk Edition of Jingle All The Way.

Thanks for posting that link, because I found out "The Ice Storm" is going to get some Criterion treatment. That's one of those quiet-though-packs a punch dramas.

Criterion looks sharper but the colors look f-ed up? Is it just me or do they look much darker and more green than the blue they are supposed to be?
I'll still be picking this up though. sounds like a fantastic release.

I've actually never seen the film and had been looking forward to blind buying the Criterion, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe a rental is in order first.

The Ice Storm CC. I'll be picking this up but will probably hold onto the Fox pressing. There is a difference in colors and light between them, different enough.
