CriterionForum.org has a handy list of confirmed and rumored titles: http://criterionforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23 Some I'd take with a grain of salt, but it gives you an idea of what's in the works.

Yaws posted:Yeah I thought Waters had kinda disowned it but I guess not. He does the best commentaries so I'm really looking forward to it. Mondo Trasho would be a great bonus feature for a proper Multiple Maniacs release, although I remember Waters musing that it would cost a fortune to secure the music rights. I never heard of Waters disowning Multiple Maniacs and the screenplay is published in a collection alongside Hairspray and Female Trouble. You might be thinking of Mondo Trasho, which he didn't disown but admitted is not very good and should have been a short.

There's probably a new batch of Universal titles under license since Hell's Angels, Scarface, The Heiress (the likely Wyler title), and Zemeckis' first film I Wanna Hold Your Hand are all owned by them. I'd expect a lot of Universal stuff over the next few years since they're doing a lot of restoration work that's been stalled for decades. They just did 4K restorations of the five Paramount Marx Bros. films, the early color/sound film King of Jazz, and a dozen copyrighted/surviving silents. No idea what the John Hughes title(s) would be, but it's probably Pretty in Pink since Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club are all out already. Only Planes has a poor quality Blu-Ray. The Breakfast Club even had a 4K remaster from Universal. Edit: All Blu editions of Ferris Bueller recently went OOP. Also, Doug Jones confirmed Pan's Labyrinth via Twitter. New interview recorded for it. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Barnes and Noble has a bunch of their Blu-rays on sale, and you can use the code BNLOVEDAD for an additional 20% off. As soon as I get home, I'm picking up the Robert Drew Kennedy films for roughly $22.

Emmet Walsh — Trailers — PLUS: An essay by novelist and critic Nathaniel Rich No hoax commentary

I saw Fantastic Planet and I appreciated it a lot more than I liked it. The animation is the best part, especially the inventiveness of the creatures and the way they interact with the environment. The pacing was really jerky though, and it seemed like the conclusion was pretty rushed. The worst part of the movie by far was the sound design - there are a lot of jarring alarm clock like sounds in the movie and it was awful hearing them in a theater.

Cemetry Gator posted:I sent in the email on Sunday, so I'm not worried. They're not a big company, and so I'm willing to accept that their customer service department might be a little slower than I would prefer. Part of me imagines that there's someone who spends an hour or two every day going through emails before getting back to other work. And I imagine that their email can be filled with variety of legitimate needs and people kvetching about something minor like "I notice that this release isn't as grainy as I like!" Just curious,did they ever give you an update on your set issues? My email has gone unanswered for nearly three weeks now.
