Whew, I'd been right on the verge of picking up Haxan on the assumption that no upgrade was on the horizon. The rare occasion when I've avoided getting punked by Criterion announcing a release that I've literally just bought.

According to a poster on the Criterion Forum, #1000 should be announced next week (probably the Godzilla box).

Announcing our October lineup, featuring a wrenching drama about a pivotal struggle in the American labor movement & an Oscar-winning chronicle of one of Muhammad Aliโs greatest fights. Plus, 2 Blu-ray upgrades! Stay tuned for something big: next week we'll announce spine #1000! pic.twitter.com/MiejT2hjF7— Criterion Collection (@Criterion) July 18, 2019

Curious about the silent films of von Sternberg set... I love the Sternberg/Dietrich box set. Probably going to go get Don't Look Now and My Brilliant Career at B&N after work today.

They're gorgeous. Be sure to give the Alloy Orchestra score for The Last Command a good listen.

I love the gangster in Underworld that laughs at the lead guy, "Look! He actually likes to read!"

Even more extraordinary: a Larry Semon performance that *doesn't* make me want to kick him in the crotch.

any Reichardt is good but that is by far my least favorite... so dated, such a product of the Bush 43 era, both characters are so pathetic...
Godzilla boxset all but confirmed as spine #1000, listing has showed up on blu ray/dvd sites

Betty Blue we got a clue on, but Cold War and The Daytrippers feel like two of the most leftfield announcements this entire year.
― Pauline Male (Eric H.), Thursday, 15 August 2019 18:49 (four years ago) link
Is Daytrippers particularly well-regarded? Because I never got the sense that it was (to the extent that I even recalled its existence). So if not, then...why?

Greg Mottola's first feature--surely this MUST be laying the ground for Superbad and Paul to join the collection?
I remember it vaguely as the sort of well-made Amerindie that got lost when Tarantino-wannabes took over Hollywood. But this can't be the best example of its time and place?

Probably not
Never heard of it before today

all I care about is the inevitable taste of fucking cherry upgrade(and I say inevitable bc the IFC retro has a 4K restoration)

is there an Eclipse schedule? there hasn't been one since the Bergman Sweden set last summer
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 16:57 (four years ago) link
C'mon, TCM...between Temple Drake and the expanded Forbidden Hollywood, surely you could do a landmark Pre-Code retrospective? Especially if Disney will license the surviving pre-1935 Fox titles....oh, yeah.
― Anne Hedonia (j.lu), Wednesday, 28 August 2019 17:02 (four years ago) link
I think Eclipse has run its course, what with the higher standards for masters and the better tools for restoration now being utilized.
― a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 28 August 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link
Plus the Criterion Channel is probably a more economically viable outlet for lesser-known foreign language titles. But I continue to wish for a Geza von Bolvary or a Maurice Tourneur En Europe Eclipse box.

saw Streetwise tonight, really well made and striking documentary from 1984, proto-Kids but closer in spirit and generosity to Wiseman (save for occasional voiceover, which works well). had a Janus logo so I assume there'll be a CC release soon.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 10 September 2019 01:37 (four years ago) link
I think it's coming as a bundle w/the new-ish sequel, TINY: The Life of Erin Blackwell.

It got excellent reviews at the time and I remember Woody Allen, Scorsese, a few others in those early internet days praising Mottola.
