It’s making me picture a Fresh Prince Salo dream sequence with Uncle Phil as the “mangia!” guy. So many missed opportunities.

Hold onto your butts, because I’m about to knock the Criterion release of Night of the Living Dead (a little). 1. Whoever thought it was a good idea to pack in the essay booklet as a fold-up mini-poster rather than as, you know, a booklet, might be an idiot. 2. The features on the Blu-ray are neat, but not exhaustive - I’ve got a really classy DVD release that has a ton of features that I wish were ported over to the Criterion, but I’m not sure any of them were. Here’s a photo of the DVD:

I really wish they'd do more perfect bound books, though apparently they're rare because of the expense of printing two sizes. When they were doing dual format, they were including bigger booklets on nearly everything. Galleries can be a lot of fun, too, but I'd imagine they're blowing most of their budgets on all these stellar restorations. NOTLD was probably a gamble since it's public domain and Mill Creek sniped them with a garbage quality release just a few months before their release. Though, it does look like it might have become one of their biggest sellers.

Picked up blu of Squid and the Whale, Solaris, Persona, and Certified Copy. Looked for blu of The New World, Women In Love, and Midnight Cowboy but they were out. I'll make another visit.

Meh, my local B&N was a little picked over, but they at least had King of Jazz FreudianSlippers posted:Is the Mishima Blu-ray region locked? I think it got a concurrent US and UK Blu, so maybe not? Arrow encodes for A and B on theirs unless it’s UK exclusive.

I scored NotLD (duh) and Silence of the Lambs. I wanted to get Shoah and their inventory said they had one, but two employees and I scoured the shelves like twice and couldn’t find it. I could have ordered it but I’ll just wait for now and check back, apparently the sale is going until August 6th.

I first bought For All Mankind and Solaris during a sale seven (!) years ago and now I have 90+ titles, including the Zatoichi set and a bunch of Eclipse I still haven't dug into. It's a slippery slope.

I caught it on FilmStruck and it’s one of the absolute strangest films I’ve ever seen (but in the best way). I too bought the standalones and regret it badly Cherbourg is amazing and probably the better film but I agree with the earlier poster- Young Girls is just a joy from start to finish and it’s certainly the one I’ll watch more often

It's such a good box set, and Donkey Skin is absolutely bananas. I almost got the standalone of Umbrellas, but saw a special screening of Donkey Skin at the Royal Cinema in Toronto...good thing I did. Rochefort is also my favourite, but Donkey Skin is so much fun.

Argh, no one seems to carry The Color of Pomegranates on Blu. Either not at all or just the DVD. Also, the one I went to today taunted me with the sight of a dozen copies of the Dietrich/Von Sternberg set behind the counter. Ended up picking up Blow Out since I've wanted to see more DePalma and it's gotten a zillion recommendations here.

Rififi owns so hard and just shows how lovely modern cinema is. There’s no way you could do a movie now where there’s like a half hour w no dialogue. Just a great film.

I ended up getting: Silence of the Lambs The Vanishing The Phantom Carriage Lady Snowblood also I ordered NotLD because my B&N was sold out. I shouldn't buy any more, but if they still have F for Fake in stock I might pick that up too. And maybe A Hard Day's Night. Or The Seventh Seal. Or Rififi or or... please help, my family is dying

Just saving money over here by staring at the criterions (criteria?) that I haven't watched yet and pretending I just got them in the sale. Someone make sure to play them for my skeleton after I go.

I just rewatched Brazil for the first time in years and it's one of those movies that just amazes me by simply existing. The level of detail Gilliam put into creating this world is just insane. A lot of great casting, too. Thank God Robert DeNiro didn't play Jack Lint because it's ten times as disturbing having Michael Palin play a "family man" who spends his days torturing people. And I never noticed how his smock and the sink are covered with blood when Sam visits his office for the first time. Also, I'm covering Criterions in my "vacation" thread if anyone wants to read random musings. Criterion really needs to keep including Tom Snyder and Dick Cavett episodes as extras because they're amazing. Rebecca has one with Snyder interviewing Alfred Hitchcock. Hitch spends ten minutes trying to explain Cockney rhyming slang.

Does the Cassavetes set have the Dick Cavett Husbands interview? I know the movie isn’t in the set but that interview is like its own Cassavetes film.
