It's the 80th anniversary next year ... perhaps somebody (anybody) will have the foresight to release a decent commemorative copy. Perhaps an Academy screening was even intended to drum up early interest in said release? Well, we can dream.
Since George Feltenstein practically invented the Special Anniversary Edition and as I understand it, it would be Warner's that would do it, perhaps this will happen. I believe it is the 90th anniversary, though.
Bah, I can't count.

Hope that doesn't mean they'll leave it another decade in an excuse to make it the 100th anniversary edition.

A dvd edition of this restoration would be lovely, but I can think of few films where the statement "it's far better in a theater" is more applicable. If you get a chance to see it live, do so. Fly there. Drive there. Walk there. Swim there. See it.

The Academy better do an encore screening, because I quite possibly would.

I think it's already been well established that Warners is keeping this title off the shelf for the sole purpose of annoying you and making your life generally irritable.
