someone over at the criterionforum may have unlocked the mystery of the missing spine numbers.
here's a look at The Criterion Collection's (possible) titles for July '05 (including some exceptional and eagerly awaited titles, apparently).

292 UNFAITHFULLY YOURS Preston Sturges, 1948
293 AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS Louis Malle, 1987
296 LE NOTTI BIANCHE Luchino Visconti, 1957
298 GATE OF FLESH Seijun Suzuki, 1964
299 STORY OF A PROSTITUTE Seijun Suzuki, 1965

in more personal news -- i bought Beck's Guero today :) the Deluxe version, too.
i changed my mind about getting the standard edition when i read about the 7 bonus tracks/remixes. i don't like the idea of overpriced Universal limited editions when it comes to artists i'm not absolutely in love with, but in this case, there's no way i was gonna pass it up. (btw, it's not as cumbersome and tacky-looking as the U2 and Gwen boxes. this one's a nice, elegant, big white book/dvd case -- and the backcover holding up the discs should be the norm for 2-disc sets in dvd. stylish.) cool sidenote -- there's this really cute girl working at Future Shop. i've caught us both looking at each other everytime i go there. sadly, though, the last couple of times i was there with the ex :) damn. but she looks young. in her early-twenties. anyway. she was there today and i couldn't find Guero so after a while she passed by and i asked her. she couldn't find it either but helped me look for it throughout the store for a good 5-10 minutes. of course it's her job, but seeing as we'd been kinda looking at each other for the past couple of weeks that i thought that that was sweet of her.

what the fuck is this?
(looking for some light entertainment for tonight, i was hoping to rent Underworld today. none of the video stores had the extended cut so i'm looking it up on Zip.) so Len Wiseman and wife Kate Beckinsale had already made Underworld back in '96? i never heard about that. freaky.
