    I just listened to your discussion about Criterion spine #500. I also harbor basic disagreement with their decision to put a # on the boxes, especially given their inconsistency. Why didn't the Rebel Samurai box get its own number? All four films were released simultaneously even though they were made available individually as well. And for Monsters & Madmen, we have double numbers on the same DVD case, but only one number each for The Killers and The Lower Depths, each featuring two separate (and Criterion-worthy) films in the same box. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?!?!? And how about Magnificent Obsession, where we have two different feature films in the same set, but one is relegated to “supplementary” status. Consider me irked.

    And going back to #500, did you notice that they even changed their numbering scheme for that box? In all other cases, the box set # comes first, then the films get their individual #, but for the Rossellini set, they put the box # last. Blatant manipulation. If the actual achievement of restoring the War Trilogy and making them widely available for pretty much the first time ever wasn't so impressive in its own right, I might be somewhat disgusted with the whole thing.

    Oh and another thing about the Howards End delayed DVD release, my impression is that Criterion at first had no plans to release it on DVD since adequate versions already exist – they just obtained rights for the Bluray release. But the fan base got stirred up over a missing spine # in the DVD series so Criterion acknowledged the demand and negotiated a new distribution deal. I think I read somewhere it's essentially the same “collector's edition” version that's already available, just in a Criterion package. A testament to the marketing power of the C.
