Here's the relevant wording in the announcement:It is rather vague - which I why I'm hoping we get a more definite announcement soon, so we can know exactly what to expect.

Mulvaney just responded via email to a poster at Criterionforum.org about the status of the forthcoming Criterion Blu-rays.

November is gonna be a great month if we get those titles.
As for October's releases Missing sounds really good so I'll at least give that one a rent.
Don't think I'm interested in the Melville titles now but maybe that'll change.

Color me surprised as well that the BDs and simultaneous SD releases of previously unavailable titles didn't appear for October.
But delays are no problem; I've got a boatload of material to watch in the meantime. Will be watching for the re-release of Walkabout as well as El Norte. Those are the two I have my eye on.

I never blind-buy CC's, but for Melville I think I'll make the exception.

I read on the criterion forum that December will be Fuller month, with the release of "White Dog" and re-releases of "Shock Corridor and "The Naked Kiss".
But take it as just a rumor.
