Re: Criterion announces first Blu-ray titles
The only timeframe we've been given is the month of October for the initial releases.

Actually, it was pushed back to November.
I suspect that details about the first batch will be released late tomorrow. They usually do new announcements on the 15th.

Where have you seen that? The original press release says October, and the article from this month says so as well:
Quote:

The Criterion Collection has announced its first 13 Blu-ray Disc releases. Including classics like The Third Man, The 400 Blows, and Contempt, and more recent movies like Bottle Rocket and The Last Emperor (shown above), the first titles are due in October. Al Griffin talked to Criterion president Peter Becker about the company's Blu-ray plans.

Re: Criterion announces first Blu-ray titles
Someone e-mailed "Jon Mulvaney" and he replied that the blu-ray releases were being pushed back to November.
"Here's looking at you, kid."

Re: Criterion announces first Blu-ray titles
That's too bad, but the wait won't kill me and the way this fall is stacking up with discs I want to purchase I may need the time to come up with a money-making scheme.  |

Re: Criterion announces first Blu-ray titles
The first five are up on Criterion's site. Sad to see that The Third Man, The Man Who Fell to Earth and The Last Emperor have all had supplements trimmed compared to their DVD counterparts (though mostly in the form of booklets). |

Re: Criterion announces first Blu-ray titles
None of the titles I was interested in. But it looks like they may be releasing them in the order of the list in the original announcement, so maybe The 400 Blows will be in the next batch.

Re: Criterion announces first Blu-ray titles
Good to finally see the long-rumored Criterion release of Bottle Rocket coming on both BD & SD.
But... no spine numbers for the Blu titles??? What's up with that??

And there's the confirmation (of what we already knew would likely be the case) that TLE's aspect ration on the Criterion BD is 2:1. 
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!
