I didn't get it at first. The May newsletter has this picture:
That's obviously a reference to Breathless, but I didn't realize they put picture hints for upcoming released at the bottom of the newsletters. I'm totally dense. Anyway, I was just looking at the Criterion Forum linked on my sidebar over there and they say that Breathless has been cofirmed and is expected out this year. Fuck yes. They'll probably pan and scan it like they've been doing with everything lately, but it will still be far superior to the current release.
Today has been a Criterion day. I ordered two which is something I'm usually far too poor to do. I still am, really, but them shitz was so cheap! I got the new two-disc The Third Man and Une Femme est une Femme for 40 dollars on the nose. I paid 40 dollars for the original Criterion The Third Man I have. And I've wanted Une Femme est une Femme pretty badly for a while now. I'm thinking about buying another. These Criterion sales are once, maybe twice a year, and they're one of the few things in the world that makes me happy. Unless the movies are shitty, that is.
So I'm going to have two copies of The Third Man and two copies of Seven Samurai. That's dumb.

Woot! Wooot!
I made Jon watch Breathless a few months ago.
He said he liked the Richard Gere version better. But how can you blame him?
Do you have the soundtrack? Because I do. I'll burn you a copy for the bargain basement price of just $45. FORTY FIVE DOLLARS!?!? How can you pass up a deal like that??
Jon's an idiot then. He's got one knee to the groin coming courtesy of me.
No, I don't have the soundtrack, but I do have the the first three volumes of the Ultra Chicks series featuring all sorts of French Ye-Ye Girls singing weird 60s pop songs, including Anna Karina, Chantal Goya and a bunch of French girls I've never heard of.
Perhaps a swap is in order.
