Never thought this would ever come out. Nice compliment to their Father of the Bride release.

Great news!

abudgell · 07-10-2023, 06:54 PM

Absolutely thrilled about this one! I was cautiously optimistic it would happen after The Last Time I Saw Paris was announced last month, but didn't think it would be so soon.

Thanks, George and team!

What a great news! Elizabeth Taylor

Nope, no image shows up in the OP.

They all show up for me. I recall another time you couldn't see some images that were linked from FB, though your images appear to be from there too. I haven't heard any issues with people not seeing the covers earlier, so I do hope they were showing up.

Anyway, I'll switch them all over to imgur now.

Weird, but the links I posted were showing up for you? I wonder if the FB links were replaced or updated which made the original link invalid?

I'm not sure. I linked from the main page rather than the full image, not sure if that is the issue.

Can you see this one?

Thanks. Not sure what the issue is, and it kind of bugs me not knowing if my images weren't showing up for others all day today. I imagine they were showing up for some, as someone quoted my Spinout post here, and commented on something from the cover art. Anyway, all switched to imgur now.

Shane Rollins · 07-11-2023, 03:45 AM

Was there an announcement on the full August slate yet, or am I just not seeing it? Obviously FLD is part of it, but what other titles do we know?

Didn't have a problem seeing the image on the OP either on a laptop or a phone earlier today and I still don't.

I love this movie. I think it's hilarious. And I'm thrilled WAC hasn't allowed the fact that it's in the public domain to get in the way of restoring it.

Father's Little Dividend Blu-ray

Areyakiddin · 02-01-2024, 07:57 AM

Good and funny movie, although John Alton's work is surprising underwhelming with it just looking like a standard glossy MGM movie compared to the first movie which is a beautiful meeting of the MGM and Alton's expressionist style.

Doesn't help that there's no visually amazing scenes in this one either like the nightmare sequence in the first.
