I haven't even look at their page since they stopped responding. It started out great, then got really stupid.

Did I get it right? Did Criterion stopped responding to suggestions and questions posted on their FB page?

If it's so, is there other place to ask or suggest them something? As i understand, "Ask Jon Mulvaney" is not working for quite a while either...

Rarely answer, but not to title suggestions.

Oh thank God, Criterion finally commented on a post pertaining to Nollywood. Peace.

Someone on FB posted that Warner is talking to Criterion at the behest of certain directors that want their work on the label? When did this happen? Google is being unhelpful.

It was mentioned in one of Warner's HTF chats.

Criterion just posted these random photos on Facebook. Could they be clues for upcoming releases?

That's Eric Anderson's handwriting

The first one certainly looks like an Old Custer reference. Royal Tenenbaums Blu?!

Someone pointed out the dog is also a Tenenbaums reference. \:D/

If they're generating new artwork (and if not, they're spending way too much time and effort on Facebook teasers when they should be producing discs!) then this suggests a whole new edition, not just a Blu upgrade, though God only knows what else that release needs.

Bonus compact disc of hits from the 80s

Oh come on

Uh, while I know that they aren't exactly the most clamored-for upgrades, both Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums could use upgraded transfers, even if the supplements still hold up well. Both of those older discs look pretty bad now (especially the former), and both were before Criterion started doing high-def transfers as a matter of routine.

Not to mention, they are newer, more popular films.=Instant jolt in revenue for CC

Since Amazon + that screenshot Criterion posted implied that The Darjeeling Limited is coming soon, maybe we'll see a paired release with The Royal Tennenbaums on Blu (like the Powell and Pressburger releases) sooner than we think.

So... no one else noticed the Facebook "Like" buttons all over the Criterion site now? Every film has one and it's kinda goofy.

I could see Criterion creating new packaging for a blu/dvd rerelease of Royal Tennenbaums. That ugly slipcover on the current edition was almost certainly mandated by Disney. (I actually just threw mine in the garbage when I bought it) It would be a good opportunity to get rid of it and put together something more appealing.

They've managed to add Facebook buttons but not spine numbers to the individual film pages. Excellent.

Facebook users can now assign any spine number they wish.

One of the few times I have seen CC actually answer directly in a while:

Jedidiah ***** Can anyone reiterate and tell me if "Badlands" is still a possibility for the collection, and when? I forgot what earlier posts may have mentioned before......

Still a possibility, but not a done deal.

They also answered about someone asking for employment. They keep resumes on file for six months, and that's where they go when a position opens up. What I wouldn't do to work there. Office bitch, gimp, anything. I'll polish up my resume, you never know.

It probably states "specifically" to stay away from these boards.
