I am so SO low on money right now, but I plan on picking up A Hard Day's Night when I get my check Friday, and then if I have enough spending money by the end of the sale, Life Aquatic.

Why is Battle of Algiers $50?

Anonymous Robot posted:Why is Battle of Algiers $50? The DVD edition takes up three discs because there's around 5-6 hours of supplements. The Blu condenses the 2nd and 3rd DVD discs into one Blu, with the first DVD disc being identical to the first Blu disc. Sort of like how Brazil, The Night of the Hunter, and The Leopard take up two discs due to content.

For what it's worth, it's a terrific set and totally worth the money if you like the movie.

It should be 60%, to my knowledge the extra 10% applies to all sale merchandise, but I'm only getting 50% off. Slate Action posted:The 10% membership discount only applies to in-store purchases, doesn't it? Online purchases don't get the discount. Also, for what it's worth, the combined in-store discount is actually 55% off, because you pay 90% of 50%.

Anyone interested in getting the BBS box set and splitting it up? I really only want Five Easy Pieces, which is one of my favorites, but I can't swing the entire box for one disc. As far as I know each disc has its own digipak (think it's 7 discs + booklet), so it shouldn't be a problem if anyone is interested.

Every film in it is good, but the only one I really regret getting rid of is Head. I too wouldn't mind splitting it up with someone... Also, yes, most of the films have their own digipak, but a couple share cases... Pretty sure Five Easy Pieces has it's own.

I blind bought Night of the Hunter and was extremely surprised. You can't go wrong with it. Though City Lights makes a close second.

You fuckers, making me go out and spend money.

Nice haul - I already have the inferior releases of Thief & A Hard Day's Night and still need to check those out before I go blindly douple-dipping. I wish I had a wise old man. This was a woman who claimed there's B&N Criterion sales 4-5 times a year, after having to ask me three times to say "Jules & Jim" and then spell it out. Maybe I just mumble my words? I still have to pay the $4.50 toll there & back across the Canada/US border (which I think is cheaper than online shipping cost?) but not having to wait 3-4 weeks is definitely nice. I did end up buying Jules & Jim and Ace in the Hole online the next day.

I have partaken in the BN Criterion sale before, but this time my hunger was more severe... savage. I had no intention of buying this much when I walked in the store, but I walked out with: Eating Raoul The Thin Red Line Shallow Grave Rififi The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou Harold And Maude Fantastic Mr. Fox Seconds Slacker The Night Of The Hunter The Wages Of Fear Shoah And I still plan on getting Insomnia and The Big Chill later this month. I'm gonna be feeling this for weeks. Eating Raoul, Seconds, Rififi and Shoah are blind buys. I feel more comfortable with that than I would expect.

Eating Raoul is probably one of the most fun movies in the collection, so I don't think you'll regret that one.

Honestly, 80% of the reason I bought Eating Raoul was because of the shared actors (and characters?) with Night Of The Comet and Chopping Mall.

Grabbed To Be Or Not To Be and All That Heaven Allows, I can cry and then cheer myself up  When Scanners comes out I'm going to pick it up and probably snag Persona and maybe the David Lean/Noel Coward boxset if I have extra monies.

How is the Robert Downey Sr. Eclipse set? I know absolutely nothing about it, but it looks really interesting and at only $20 I was tempted to blind buy it this weekend. Ended up grabbing blus of The Uninvited, Godzilla, and Eyes Without a Face. I had a really hard time limiting myself to just those three, but I'll make another trip to the store later this month and pick up another few titles.

It'll be either Twilight Time, Criterion, or Kino. MGM owns most of his 1960s and early 1970s output. I wouldn't mind Criterion eventually doing Help! even though Apple released their own version already.

I wouldn't mind Criterion eventually doing Help! even though Apple released their own version already. The rights situation on all the movies is a bit unclear from the Wikipedia articles alone. Shenson (the producer) had the rights to AHDN and probably still does (Janus/Criterion "acquired the rights from Miramax on behalf of the Shenson Estate" makes it a little unclear though). Help! may also still be owned by Shenson with Apple as the "full rightsholders" and then released by Universal Music, presumably as home video sub-licensor, so Criterion getting Help! would likely depend on Apple pulling the sub-license from Universal to hand it to Criterion (which strikes me as unlikely given the Blu-ray release just happened last year) What would be interesting would be if the favorable press from AHDN leads Apple Corps to sub-license Let It Be to Criterion for the first home video release since the early 1980s. This will, of course, never actually happen (since the consensus is that the Beatles and their heirs don't want to show the bad blood).

Shenson (the producer) had the rights to AHDN and probably still does (Janus/Criterion "acquired the rights from Miramax on behalf of the Shenson Estate" makes it a little unclear though). Actually, A Hard Day's Night has always been owned by Walter Shenson directly until his death. When he died, the rights were purchased from his estate by Bruce A. Karsh. United Artists had a 15-year theatrical distribution arrangement. When that expired, Shenson licensed theatrical rights to Universal and video rights to MPI Home Video. The initial Criterion laserdisc was licensed from MPI. In 1998, Shenson licensed both theatrical and home video rights to Miramax. That's why Janus got theatrical rights and Criterion got home video this time... plus, they should have the rights for quite a while. Help! was a joint production of Shenson's production company and what later became Apple Films (Subafilms). As with A Hard Day's Nights, Shenson's half of the rights were transfered to Karsh. Apple Corps has always owned the other half of the rights. Apple Corps fully owns both Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be, though United Artists still had distribution of the latter as late as 1980 (which is why the Magnetic Video release happened). Of course, once UA lost the rights, Apple never issued it again. Yellow Submarine was a joint production of King Features Syndicate (now owned by Hearst Entertainment) and Apple Corps. United Artists apparently kept distribution rights for quite a while since all video and theatrical issues were through them (or successor MGM) until the 2012 DVD/Blu-Ray release. I'm guessing that either Apple Corps bought out the rights or they simply expired.

Double post! Bong Joon-ho just went through the Criterion closet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBgZQCkUp7E I love the fact that Chan-wook Park 'borrowed' Bong Joon-ho's copy of Medium Cool and still needs to give it back.
