Criterion In Blu Dept.

The title should tell it.  Criterion is preparing its first wave of Blu-ray releases for this coming October.  Here's the list:

The Third Man
Bottle Rocket
Chungking Express
The Man Who Fell to Earth
The Last Emperor
El Norte
The 400 Blows
Gimme Shelter
The Complete Monterey Pop
Contempt
Walkabout
For All Mankind
The Wages of Fear

Last Emperor is almost certainly getting snapped up on this end, but I'm faintly startled that no Kurosawa made the list. I suspect they're going by what sells best.  But my god, the fun has just begun, people.
