As for Chimes : my boot is an Ebay purchase from a Japanese laserdisc. Gorgeous print but marred by vertical Japanese subtitles on the righthand side of the picture. Who owns the rights to Chimes ?

I really don't understand the Wes Anderson backlash. If you don't try to get too much out of his films, they're cute & fun and the cinematography is always fantastic. And how can you not like the roles he writes for Bill Murray?
That said, I'm pretty sure I'll be slightly annoyed by TLA because it seems to be just pushing the profitable Wes formula of hip 70's soundtrack & kitschy sets.

... but ultimately it's not that big a deal, and i wish that criterion had a few more rivals at their particular level of their niche so that people (i include myself) wouldn't pore over their choices all the time.
and that said, i think warner's been kicking everybody's ass the last few months with their box sets.

I assume that Criterion would like to put out more new films, but can't get companies to license them out. Better to make your own $10 on a barebones release than split that with Criterion, I suppose.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Peckinpah box, and I've got my fingers crossed for a Bonnie & Clyde 2-disc.

The newsletter does reveal that Metropolitan and Playtime + A Tati box will be out next year, along with some Louis Malle stuff, including Murmur of The Heart.

What does this mean? Like you have to buy the box to get Playtime? That'll either suck if the other titles in the box are M. Hulot's Holiday and Mon Oncle, but would be effing fantastic if the other titles are Jour De Fete, Parade and Trafic.

"We’ve received many such e-mails from fans wondering about the status of Tati’s astounding 1967 comedy, and we are happy to report that we are indeed planning to release a new edition of Playtime—either individually or as part of a Jacques Tati box set—sometime in 2006. Watch the Criterion website for details."
