YES!!!!! it's official -- Michelangelo Antonioni's L'eclisse (The Criterion Collection) is a two-disc set !!!

damn. nothing on the Criterion site mentions this change with only six days to go before the release. a DVD Empire shot of the back cover sparked a frenzied search last night (thanks to the a Criterion Forum member) but i couldn't find too much information on this rumoured change online. i ordered it this morning hoping it was a new two-disc set. this is good :)

buzz. everyone's really excited about Jean Renoir's The River. looks like i'll be getting it. (strangely, though, DVD Pacific is not carrying this title. dunno why. customer service confirmed this to me.)

speaking of which, DVD Pacific has lowered back its prices. for some reason they'd gone up a couple of bucks each late last year. nice to see them going back down.

today's an outstanding (materialistic) day for me! this is what was waiting for me in the mailbox:

Kathleen Edwards - Failer
Ivy - In the Clear
Badly Drawn Boy - One Plus One Is One (sadly, the uk version. it's missing the two US bonus tracks i'd ordered. i'll get the single, then.)

DVD Pacific found Renoir's The River. they'd mislabeled it.
and it's only $25.11 (canadian).
