I'm guessing everyone here knows what a Rialto theatrical release might mean as far as what studio will most probably release the DVD.... If that's the case, :D :D :D woohoo, indeed :D :D :D
I preorder Criterions pretty early, so if anyone needs Love on Ikiru and Rules of the Game I'll be ordering those towards the end of the week. PS: Woohoo, Kyle! Jackson, MS in tha house!
On a positive note, the beginning of 2004 marks the renewal of Criterion rights to the Tati films M. Hulot's Holiday and Mon Oncle. This topic needed a little cheering up. (Picked up Spellbound last month at the last minute like everyone else)
With these 4 titles, the Sturges, Rules of the Game, an Orson Welles title (rumor), more Hitchcock (rumor), and Floating Weeds, Criterion is poised for their best year ever. I really thought 2003 would be hard to top. Edited to include The Battle of Algeirs from the Criterion homepage.
Spellbound is considered popularly (and by me) to be one of Hitchcock's lesser outings. But, I am a Dali fan, so it nonetheless has a warm spot in my heart. Ok, Dali and Ingrid Bergman. Me-ow. Rebecca is a Hitchcock/O'Selznik joint, so its a little heavy on the melodrama. But, then again, so was...
Thanks or bringing this thread back guys. I can only post from work as it stands now, so I sometimes miss threads that slip through the cracks for a bit. I'll be shooting off my email post haste to do my part. This landmark film deserves better.

I know it won't be released until December, but I've never ordered a game online before. Is it better to order far in advance, should I wait for a discount, or is there no difference?
I post at the Gazette, and I think a lot of people would be interested (just to, as was stated earlier, "do something"), which is why I have qualms about bringing the petition to their attention. I'm going to wait until 2004 until I do any signing, though I am a fanatic about the show. If they...
They lowered my pre-order on Tokyo Story from 27$ to 25$. However, if there is a content change (more extra features are added, etc.-- like what will probably happen with my preorder for The Lower Depths), I think they can up the price since the item you pre-ordered essentially does not exist...
Lots of titles lack of DVD representation has prevented me from seeing on this list. Here's one I'll probably be waiting a long time to see: Fukasaku's Battle Royale
