8 1/2 on Blu-Ray?

Or Blu-Dog?

Is for Beethoven 8 1/2 BD

"Blew Dog: The Early Short Films of Linda Lovelace"

One can only dream. But alas, I, too, will guess that it's 8 1/2 on Blu.

Obviously, you're not a golfer.

Although it COULD be much-rumored Huckleberry Hound Eclipse set.

"Blue Dog" The Max Baucaus Story?

Because Max Baucuas is one of the- oh never mind.

i guess it's 81/2 on Blu. But why dogs?

Looking back, it seems that Criterion always uses animals in its cryptic release hints. So, dogs are as good as anything else.

and why blue ... and what's with the wings.. someone at Criterion must be sniffing glue

I actually just watched my Criterion dvd of 8 1/2 last week, up-converted through my blu-ray player, and it looked pretty damn good - I don't think I'll be needing the upgrade.

Maybe it's a multi-layered hint, with 8 1/2 being only a part of it.

Oh hell, let's stretch the 'wing' part you mentioned (a reference to dogfight?) by adding this suggestion: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018578/

DEEP DISCOUNT DVD SALE

Starting this Friday, our friends at deepdiscount.com are going to be offering an exclusive, limited-edition Criterion T-shirt to customers who order more than $50 worth of Criterion product. The dark green shirt with silver Criterion logo isn't available anywhere else, not even the Criterion website, so if you want one, get on over to Deep Discount DVD while supplies last!

The sale hasn't come up on DD yet, though. Not sure if it's only a shirt they're offering or if they'll have a sale on the DVDs themselves.

I'd imagine that the blue means Blu-Ray...

I never got my promised Criterion t-shirts when I bought my third man and bottle rocket bd from deepdiscount last time. I dont think Id bother this time.
