Re: Criterion on Social Media
I'll put my hopes on it being Gold Diggers of 1933, but now we're speculating about a like of a Mitzi Gaynor tweet!
Come on Criterion, you've been too tight-lipped with hint dropping lately (where's a good 'ole restoration desk hint?).

Re: Criterion on Social Media
It wasn't a like, it was a retweet. They don't usually retweet things that have nothing to do with their roster, hence why so many of us are taking this as clue for a future release

Re: Criterion on Social Media
Well, if I had a dollar for every time there's been a Written on the Wind Criterion social media post + person then expecting it in the next month's announcements, despite this pattern having gone on for about 5+ years....
The issue with speculating lately - is that the old way of Criterion posting clues (except the newsletter /new years clues) are mostly all gone. Being added to Filmstruck doesn't mean much of anything anymore; the celebrity picture is usually just a closet pick (which hasn't added up to much in nearly all of them); and there's been no restoration-station or other hints for quite awhile (the # of bonus feature behind the scenes images have dropped off as well). This is probably why a greater percentage of the monthly announcements end up being surprises. Its only when somebody involved with a project accidentally spills the beans do we get any definitive clues; but if Criterion has moved to the Social Media speculation business, than all for the best - but I'd like to see some of them come true (Written on the Wind).

I mean, compared to the Gorin set, Written on the Wind might as well be a recent title from IFC

Re: Criterion on Social Media
Maybe they're going to include Gillian Armstrong's Orry-Kelly documentary with a forthcoming release? If so, it would presumably be a glitzier movie where his costumes are front and centre. I can't imagine it would be an extra on Armstrong's My Brilliant Career, which is confirmed as forthcoming, isn't it?domino harvey wrote: ↑Tue Jul 10, 2018 1:14 pmCriterion retweeted Mitzi Gaynor's post about her costumes in Les Girls, which is def not coming to Crit since WA just put it out, but maybe they're planning to release a movie with costumes by Orry-Kelly?
Also I had no idea Mitzi Gaynor was still alive (and tweeting)!
Edit: I haven't seen the Orry-Kelly doc, but you should definitely ask David Hare about it!

Re: Criterion on Social Media
I read the retweet as less to do with Mitzi Gaynor and more to do with Orry-Kelly. On the heels of newsletter clue for Arsenic and Old Lace this seems like a piggy back hint to me.

I know this Denis visit is likely for Let the Sunshine In special features, but I'm going to keep dreaming it's for Beau Travail:

I don't know who Euzhan Palcy is but a google search tells me she's 60. Not to hold up this thread but christ she looks incredible.
Re: Criterion on Social Media
I can't possibly imagine why there aren't more women filmmakers or more female posters on this site.

Janus posted this, likely indicating that The Last Movie is coming.
It just got a 4k restoration, I didn't realize it was with Janus though.

That's not from the Last Movie, it's the American Friend. Another label has Last Movie and is planning a release, but can't remember which

I believe it's Arbelos (or Cinelicious, same thing) that will be handling its stateside Blu-ray release.domino harvey wrote: ↑Tue Aug 28, 2018 5:38 pmThat's not from the Last Movie, it's the American Friend. Another label has Last Movie and is planning a release, but can't remember which

Re: Criterion on Social Media
There's no way they won't put it out on Blu-ray, I wouldn't worry about it
