What’s this?

This 1987 James L. Brooks comedy is one of my favorite films of all time, and certainly one of the best movies about the news business ever made. It has a pitch perfect script loaded with hilarious, smart and memorable lines, not to mention three exceedingly fine performances from Holly Hunter, Albert Brooks and William Hurt. Criterion’s new, extras-laded, director-supervised restoration arrives on Blu-Ray and DVD in January (it would’ve surely been on my holiday list this year if it had been released this fall).
