Usually someone at cf.org figures these out, but so far they haven't come up with anything convincing. A lot of people are saying Satantango but that just seems like wishful thinking. I'd love it if that were the answer, though.

Particularly since I don't otherwise expect to ever see Satantango on blu-ray.

When does the Barnes and Noble sale start for November? Is it the whole month or between some specific dates?

William Pahllace posted:When does the Barnes and Noble sale start for November? Is it the whole month or between some specific dates? November 1-21. Regarding the clue, someone came up with a Lean/Coward (lean cow herd) set which is the most plausible suggestion I've seen so far.

FitFortDanga posted:November 1-21. Probably. Lean directed four films either written or produced by Coward. Maybe the black cow is Coward's solo film The Astonished Heart, which stars Celia Johnson (of Brief Encounter) and is owned by iTV along with Brief Encounter, Blithe Spirit, In Which We Serve, and This Happy Breed. That would make for a good bonus to the inevitable Brief Encounter Blu reissue.

kaujot posted:I absolutely hate the way Criterion has handled subtitles on bluray. I can't read them at all in many scenes because of the white text on a white image. I've increased contrast, etc., but nothing really helps all that much, and they seem to be oblivious about the issue. Ah ok, so I'm not the only one. I sent them an e-mail about it and I recommend anyone who has had problems with the subtitles do the same. It might not do any good, but it's better to let them know than to let them think that they have subtitles that don't suck dick. Magic Hate Ball posted:The more pressing issue is that the subtitles still fail the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Yeah, this is kind of baffling to me too. For as much as some of them cost, you think they'd have something so basic that even older, shittier dvd editions of the same films had.

Criterion's having a "Scary Frames Photo Contest" on their Facebook page - post a screenshot from one of the movies in the collection and they'll select a winner. It was fun picking an image to enter and it's also cool to look at what everyone else is submitting as well.  Here's a link to the info: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150348443268562 Here's the top prize:

Shame just how many people can't read rules and post screencaps from movies that aren't Criterion, and how many exact repeats there are. There's also lots of nudity!

Rivette Blu-Ray, but not from Criterion. I liked C&JGB but not enough to buy it. Still, some folks are bound to thrilled about this. If New Yorker doesn't gently caress it up.

With the B&N sale going until the 21st, this means that films released in this time period will be part of the sale as well? Or is it just movies released before November 1st? [I'm mainly referring to the Three Colours Trilogy on the 15th]

Also, I believe that the sale's been extended by a day or two before to make room if something's being released, like, the day after the sale's scheduled to end, so you might be able to sneak in the stuff that's coming out on the 22nd.

You guys reckon there's any chance Criterion will release some kind of Wes Anderson box set anytime soon? Because I want all that poo poo, all of it, enough to buy it piecemeal but I can just envisage the regret...

Just watched Island of Lost Souls. One of the finest classic horror films I've seen. Intelligent, magnificently shot, and Charles Laughton's performance is perverse. Can't recommend the film enough. The restoration is great, too. Despite being grainy and full of light damage, it adds to the atmosphere.

Just a word of warning: Barnes and Noble has put pre-releases (that were not due to come out within the span of the sale) up before by mistake, and it can be a real hassle getting your money back when they either cancel your order outright or bump up the prices on you.

Thanks for the warning kaujot, i'll keep that one in mind! For anyone interested or curious, just dropped some cash on the following two orders online: Classe Tous Risques Pickpocket Elevator to the Gallows Yi Yi (blu) Fanny and Alexander (blu) Three Colours Trilogy (blu) The Rules of the Game (blu) I also plan on crossing the border to a B&N to check out what they've got in-store. Combine this with Uncharted 3's release - well, today is a good day.

Can someone sell me on Fanny and Alexander? I heard a lot of praise for it back when it was announced, but nobody ever explained why exactly. Also, are there any other codes that we can use to save a scratch more?

GrandpaPants posted:Can someone sell me on Fanny and Alexander? I heard a lot of praise for it back when it was announced, but nobody ever explained why exactly. It's Bergman's ultimate achievement, his most autobiographical film, and one that fuses all the major themes of his previous work together: family, religion, death, the supernatural, et. al. It's gorgeously photographed and perfectly acted and there are scenes and images that will take your breath away and stick with you long after you're done watching. Buy buy buy one of us one of us.
