Criterion on Social Media

[FrauBlucher]

I wonder what film she was watching that did that to her. :-"

[captveg]

Gotta be a BD upgrade of her box set in the works, no?

I wonder what film she was watching that did that to her. :-"

The film of being nearly 89.

[FrauBlucher]

Not sure if this means anything for Wednesday's announcements but a tweeted GIF of My Man Godfrey.

[Rayon Vert]

I was debating to watch this again for the all-time list project, then told myself "hang on, what if an upgrade is announced on Wednesday", if so I don't want to watch it twice in such a short time-frame. Then I saw your post!

[FrauBlucher]

This was posted back in the summer of 2015 on the HTF.

- Continued to work on the 4k restorations of: “Animal Crackers”, “Cocoanuts”, “Duck Soup”, “Horse Feathers”, “Monkey Business”, My Man Godfrey” and “Shanghai Express”. These will be completed in Q3

So the timing for the Criterion upgrade of My Man Godfrey can be fast approaching.

[What A Disgrace]

Forget My Man Godfrey, I want Shanghai Express.

Looks like Scarlett Johansson will be on the Ghost World release.

[Werewolf by Night]

Mark Harris visits Criterion to talk about his book/documentary Five Came Back.

I hope his visit is occasioned by an imminent release of The Best Years of Our Lives or possibly They Were Expendable, but I'm steeling myself for an announcement of It's a Wonderful Life.

[FrauBlucher]

Those three have already gotten a bluray release. With It's a Wonderful Life being very recent.

Maybe it could be for Ford's A Long Voyage Home which we know is eventually coming.

[domino harvey]

In the wake of Being There, I would say no title is off limits, but Best Years of Our Lives has long been bandied about as possibly forthcoming

[Werewolf by Night]

Those three have already gotten a bluray release. With It's a Wonderful Life being very recent.

When has that ever stopped Criterion before?

[Ribs]

As per usual, I'd just assume it's that they asked him to come in to do this piece to promote the release of Being There and to promote his new series.

[FrauBlucher]

This has to be a clue. I'm awful at this stuff.

[dda1996a]

Never seen a Brooks film, but the comments say it Albert Brooks' Lost in America

[FrauBlucher]

Yep, that would be Lost In America.

[swo17]

They weren't supposed to say "nest egg."

[FrauBlucher]

A possible hint from their twitter feed... Hard Eight?

[DarkImbecile]

I don't think so, but a director's cut of Sydney/Hard Eight could be the release of the year.

[kcota17]

Isn't that from Three Colors Red?

[justeleblanc]

Isn't that from Three Colors Red?

Yes, it was posted to coincide the a new Filmstruck essay on the film, written about here.
