^I had the same thing happen with Secret Sunshine. I sent John an email and he put one in the mail for me that day.

Has anyone here noticed anything about the audio on White? Apparently there's an issue with it and Criterion is going to be issuing replacement discs.

i think this was discussed here, but why is The Third Man OOP? and will it go back in print?

They lost the rights, and an inferior Blu-ray was released by Studio Canal. The likelihood of it going back in-print is pretty slim.

I just sat down to watch 12 Angry Men, and this being my first time, I was surprised to notice that on the cover art of my blu-ray copy, jurors 11 and 12 have been switched position. Researching online, all the promo shots I could find feature the correct order. Anyone has the same issue?

I still have a sealed The Third Man

You care to part with it?

it is a great movie. never understood the need to keep anything bought sealed.

I haven't played it yet, but the issue apparently has to do with incorrect surround encoding. The audio on all three movies is 2.0 surround, but when you engage surround mode on White the sound field supposedly collapses to mono. This doesn't happen with the other two movies. Annoying if so; at least they're going to replace.

Any word if they got the rights to Red River and plan on releasing it on Blu?

Yeah, they've had Red River for a while. I expected to see it released this year- should definitely be on the scheduled in 2012 at some point.

is that confirmed is it? Good news.

DVD Beaver on Design for Living

I've never seen the movie, but what about that picture points at "Being John Malkovitch"?

Also, speaking of pictures, did anyone ever figure out that doughnut pic Criterion posted on Facebook a few months back?

speaking of rivers - how about



in glorious (hidef) Technicolor

John Cusack's character is a puppeteer who specializes in marionettes. His wife, played by Cameron Diaz, has a pet monkey who wears a diaper.

Yes Yes YES!
I've been hesitating to break the seal on my copy for several years now, expecting any month they are going to announce this so I can sell off my copy.
I would love to see it happen in 2012.
This film is ripe for an upgrade and you're right- it would look glorious.

The River is one of my top 10 most wanted titles on Blu-ray. I'm sure Criterion will get around to it eventually.

Blu-ray.com review of The Lady Vanishes

This hint was posted on their facebook page. Any ideas?

BLITHE SPIRIT is what the general consensus seems to be

Perhaps we really will be getting a Lean/Coward set.

The general consensus on Facebook are a bunch of idiots that think it's Hook. But yeah it's Blithe Spirit.

Criterion usually includes a few films into their clues

I don't think the monkey in the diaper is supposed to be a single film


I'm thinking we have a criterion bluray of
1. Every which way but loose
2. Puppet master
3. Look who's talking

Coming our way

why does everyone think they're a comedian?

Oh so sorry. Let me be more serious then

1. king kOng
2. Some obscure unwatchable French film about puppets. Like. Le puppeteeri
3. Some equally unwatchable French film about a baby. Le diaperes Es dirtye

I don't think foofighters was posting in this thread...
