I'm also excited about these:

The Brood!!!!!!!!!!!1!



Stoked.

Hate the cover, but I'm still happy to see it getting released finally. Good to see Kwaidan also.

Just for completion's sake:

Kwaidan, yes.
The Brood, pass. I normally dig horror films and Cronenerg films. I remember liking this when I saw it at the drive-in back in the day but when I revisited it on DVD I was really not into it and actually gave the DVD away.
Hopefully, Kwaidan will be restored. At least I seem to recall it's missing some footage. I could be remembering wrong.

Specs on Criteron's website mention a restoration of the uncut version:

So excited about the October announcements

Mulholland Drive is a must and The Brood will be a blind buy.

I totally I forgot about this week's announcements 'Kwaidan'?! 'The Brood'?! (okay now I have to retire my UK blu of this).

Definitely picking up the Brood and Idaho. Maybe Mulholland if the supplements are worthy.

After so many months not being interested in a single title this will be four months in a row where I want at least one of their new releases.

Very exciting month what with Mulholland Dr AND The Brood. Although I will say the cover for The Brood is easily the worst I've ever seen from Criterion. Whoever designed that should be sacked.

An excellent month! I'll be looking into all of these titles!

I wonder if it'll have Laura Harring's uncensored pussy.

No uncensored pussy, no sale.

Ridiculously excited about Mulholland Drive, but also really stoked for Kwaidan, too. What a great month.

Did you guy snow that Laura Harring is Mexican?

#themoreyouknow

Yes, and why does that matter? She hasn't aged as well as Naomi Watts.

Don't tell Donald Trump.

And her name in MH is Rita after Rita Hayworth who (are you ready?) was also Mexican.

She's 5 years older than Watts. Why does age matter?

"Aged", not "age" - two completely different things. I'm going to improve your life here, so bear with me; please learn to read and better distinguish the differences between different words. Okay?

To be factually correct, Rita Hayworth was born to a Spanish father and an American mother of Irish-English decent in New York.

You are correct Lynda Carter is the one who's Mexican.

Wow, aren't you the fucking English nazi today.
