You don't have to worry about that silly! ^_^
Never realized what you mentioned though. I'm sure those were all just coincidences. I mean, the MGM Blu-ray was released exclusively at Wal-Mart in 2011 and had a retail release in 2012 and nothing happen on those dates there.
Man, I'd always like to pretend and wonder what if Criterion released this, and now my dream has come true! Thank you Criterion (and just in time for the film's 50th anniversary!)! I'm hoping for both General Release and Roadshow (192-minute) cuts myself. Shame Jonathan WInters passed away...
