I wish Criterion would release the original version of "The Heartbreak Kid" with Charles Grodin and Cybil Shepherd. One of the best romantic comedies ever made. And virtually no one my age (20s) has ever seen it.

Is that Jordan Crane on the Harold and Maude cover?

"I contacted a higher-up at Warner Brothers regarding the re-release of Badlands (will WB release it, or Criterion), and his response is this: 'It most likely will be released by Criterion.'"

While this news is vague and from an anonymous source, I don't think the guy at the Mailck blog would make it up. There have been a few instances like this that suggest Criterion will eventually release Badlands. I think for a title like this Criterion might want it to be a big 'surprise' and not tease it at all, sort of like 12 Angry Men last year.

I'm still waiting for any news about Badlands.
And with the mention of Harold and Maude now, i'm hoping they give the same justice to The Landlord, The Last Detail and Shampoo.

Every month I look for more Satyajit Ray, and every month I am disappointed. Is it a copyright issue? Surely the Apu Trilogy is as prestigious as such Criterion masterpieces as Revanche and Tiny Furniture.

Awesome news and all but Criterion keeps on avoiding the issue, namely, when are we gonna get A New Leaf and Mickey and Nicky? Surely those two films are worthy of the Criterion treatment?

Excellent! I was hoping for a "Ruth Gordon at Paramount" Criterion double feature, with HAROLD & MAUDE and ROSEMARY'S BABY released in the same month, but with Paramount finally announcing CHINATOWN on Blu, hopefully they'll do their own Blu of ROSEMARY soon.
