It's only a good deal if you're going to buy 3 or more though. Their s&h rates are terrible, and we're not too far away from the next B&N sale.

I'm broke and saving up for Tati. FYI, Jour de Fete only has the color version as an old upscale instead of the higher quality BFI release.

The BFI release from a few years ago, or the StudioCanal UK release coming out next month (but already reviewed)? edit: I just did some research, and, unless I'm missing something, your statement is incorrect. The older BFI BD in the UK has two versions of the film - the 1949 and the 1964 releases. Both are in 1080p. Both the upcoming Criterion BD in the US and the upcoming StudioCanal BD in the UK have three versions - 1949, 1964, and 1994. The 1949 and 1964 versions are both in 1080p and from newer restorations than the older BFI BD. The 1994 version is upscaled in both BDs. The conclusion being, there's no reason not to get the Criterion Tati boxset. Neo_Reloaded fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Oct 9, 2014 |

Once you get to 3 films, $15-$16 shipping is nearly the same thing (if not cheaper) as driving over from Canada to the US to a B&N store, gas & toll, + tax on each film. I picked up The Great Beauty, Y Tu Mama Tambien, and Eraserhead. Like everyone else, I can't wait for that Tati set.

Suddenly that 6 weeks up-front severance package seems a lot more enticing than it did compared to taking a step down for the same pay v vHighly recommend everyone buy The Innocents in time for Halloween.

The shipping is cheaper now to Canada (10 dollars first item 3 + extra) but last time I ordered something from them directly I got dinged with custom fees and it wasn't a deal at all anymore. Edit: Our dollar sucks now too

Cineplex poo poo the bed with their store, any item that is not in stock is not listed at all anymore which is pretty much every Criterion. My shopping cart had 9 titles saved waiting on that Boxing Week sale and only The Vanishing remains ironically.

Neo_Reloaded posted:The BFI release from a few years ago, or the StudioCanal UK release coming out next month (but already reviewed)? The BFI release had the color version in true HD. You can tell the color parts are from lenticular 35mm by the thin pattern. The SC and Criterion sets have it from the 1995 master. Not a big deal, but odd. From what it seems, the rest of the films are perfect in every possible way.

Well there went a chunk on Eraserhead, The Night of the Hunter, The 39 Steps, Being John Malkovich, A Brief History of Time, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Foreign Correspondent, The Hidden Fortress, Riot in Cell Block 11, Il Sorpasso, Persona. Husbanded my B&N purchases in July only to spend to fill out that backlog now, and I've still had to punt a few to the next B&N sale...

The other two sets are cool too, beautiful cinematography in those Eisenstein and Bergman films, but no one does conversations like Rohmer. The Rohmer it is then. Ended up going in on that, City Lights, The Double Life of Veronique, and Fishing with John.

Was roadtripping last night, so I didn't get to the sale until after The Innocents, Macbeth and Scanners were sold out. Still, I got Walkabout, Eraserhead, the Demy set, Sundays and Cybele, Ali Fear Eats the Soul, Y tu Mama Tambien, Tie Me Up Tie Me Down, and 8 1/2.

Oh man, Fishing with John is the best thing a girl has ever recommended me. I was so skeptical but it's hilarious, especially since the narrator is the actual narrator from 60 Minutes.

I'm a huge Sturges fan, and they did a tremendous job on Sullivan's Travels, so I'm very looking forward to Palm Beach Story. Hell, I'd love as many Sturges upgrades and releases as they could manage. Miracle of Morgan's Creek is one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen, and probably his second-best-well-known film, and I think even the bare-bones poo poo release from another company it got a decade ago is out-of-print.

Here's my review of Eraserhead, the first Lynch anything I've seen: The gently caress. This movie is going to stick with me for a while; highly recommended. The calibration feature on the blu-ray is really nice as well, it's a great looking film.

The situation with him on Blu-Ray in America is pretty interesting in that there's a lot of notable material not on the format at all, but what is out is absolutely pristine and packed with meaningful extras (well, aside from Dune, but that's an outlier in his career in general).

I recommend watching Blue Velvet before tackling Twin Peaks. It transitions very nicely into it, and is a kind of precursor to Twin Peaks anyways in the same way that The American President is a kind of prototype for The West Wing. Lynch is a pretty fun filmmaker with a great track record. He only has one legitimately terrible film as far as I'm concerned, and it isn't Dune.

INLAND EMPIRE. I usually like Lynch's weird surreal worlds but that film felt like a rather boring take on the same concept explored in Lost Highway and Mulholland Dr., and at 3 hours in length it just felt tedious to get through. I will say that I've never seen anything else quite like it, for what it's worth. EDIT: I think part of my dislike of it also has to do with it being Lynch's last film. It felt like a sour note to end his career on as a filmmaker... Luckily he's pulling a Kubrick and is doing another season of Twin Peaks.
