CRAYON posted:It is the short plastic case. I think that, design and presentation wise, the digipacks are a lot nicer than the plastic cases. I was kind of disappointed when I opened up The Seventh Seal to see the normal old booklet instead of a graphic across the entire inside like on my other Criterion Blu-Rays.

I just picked up "The Life Aquatic" at B&N for $8.95 with my 10% member discount. Thanks for the heads up on the sale!

I got the Kagemusha and Playtime blu-rays from Amazon today. I didn't get to check them out since I had to come to work. I'm looking forward to tomorrow as I have not seen either film in any format before.

I picked up "Brand Upon The Brain!" on dvd and the Blu-Ray of "Vivre sa Vie" at B&N today. I've never seen either but they look like things I'd find entertaining. I'm considering going back for one of the Eclipse series sets they have. "Oshima's Outlaw Sixties" looks interesting as did an Ozu set I looked at.

I did a blind buy of "The Leopard" on blu-ray today, thanks to the B&N sale + coupon ect... I figured for $17.50 it is worth the risk. It has two discs, the dubbed American version and the subbed original. My question is, having never seen the film, which should I watch first or will it make a difference?

Thanks to the 25% coupon I got the F&A blu-ray for 20.25 USD! I want the Vigo blu-ray set but none of my B&N have it in stock.  Those are my only planned purchases from this sale since I still have a backlog of Criterions to watch.

I was planning on skipping the B&N sale this time since I couldn't really think of anything I want but don't have. I got the "mystery" discount coupon in my email and, since I was nearby, I had to take a look. I'd forgotten that I wanted the blu of "Anatomy of a Murder" and there it was waiting for me. My coupon came up 30% so I wound up with it for $12.59. Score! They also have "Art House" films on sale for 50% off but apparently a lot of things fall into that category. I got the blu of "Bonnie and Clyde" for $11.25. That movie was always a guilty pleasure and now I can defend myself by saying "It's art!"

Magic Hate Ball posted:Bonnie & Clyde a guilty pleasure? I know it won a lot of awards at the time but it seems to have fallen out of favor. I rarely hear modern critics with anything good to say about it and it's often held up as an example of a film that has aged badly.

juan the owl posted:I never said anyone was bashing it. Just that you'd be hard pressed to find a consensus that it ranks among the all-time greats, which used to be a pretty common opinion. It's influential, popular, and well-regarded, but not a movie you'd expect to see lavish praise heaped upon all that often in "serious" circles, stuff like Cineaste or CineAction; I mention them specifically because it's those people who write film textbooks and to some extent control the narrative of "film history," even if their influence on newspaper critics and the average movie fan is pretty tiny. Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it as it's not a Criterion anyway.

Heads up. Barnes & Nobel is offering 40% off all Blu-rays right now. With my member discount and the 20% Memorial Day coupon, I picked up Repo Man for $17.27.

Sorry, that's a store coupon. Online it says to use this code at checkout 2C5W8LWMW5YTC (it still may be members only or maybe it's dynamicly generated and can only be used once. Sorry if it's no use to non-members) RustedChrome fucked around with this message at 19:42 on May 24, 2013 |

Hewlett posted:I think I figured out my problem with the coupon code - under all the Blurays on BN.com, it says "Note: This item does not qualify for coupons or promotional discounts unless expressly stated." Don't know how you guys are getting your codes to work. I tried using my coupon again today at the store and it came up "already redeemed." So, it seems BN is generating unique codes for each member for this promotion. In the past I'd print up multiple coupons and use them for separate purchases in the same day. No more of that I suppose.

Old Ash posted:The Repo Man packaging is so awesome. May just be my favorite thing they've done, aesthetic-wise. It's just packed with stuff and looks so cool. I think it's the only Criterion release I own where I actually read all of the inserts, watched the supplements and listened to the commentary. It was all great.

I got a 20% members coupon today so I headed back to B&N. It seems one of these always comes out during the Criterion sale, so I held off buying the Shochiku Horror box. Their system didn't want to let me use the coupon, even tho there was nothing against the terms printed on it. The girl at the counter knew that it always works during the 50% off sale so she manually punched it in. $21.59 instead of $59.99, score!

Asnorban posted:Will they definitely work on already released movies? I will just hold on to it until the day it comes out and order or head to a store if that's the case. At the last B&N sale, my email coupon did not work. The clerk at the register forced it through. I didn't see anything in the terms on the coupon to say that it's ineligible, but bn.com rejected it. I seriously doubt my local store will ever stock an expensive set like this so I went ahead and pre-ordered.

The dual format sets mean there is space for twice as many Criterion titles on the retail shelves, and the format is more to please the retailers than consumers.

They are definitely fans of cinema and I'm sure they'd release everything they have if they didn't care about keeping the business solvent.

I picked up "A Hard Days Night" and watched it for the first time today. I've only seen countless clips in the past but somehow never caught the whole movie. It was fun and the B&W was very skillfully used. In some scenes the film grain absolutely sparkled, something I've only seen before on a few films on the big screen. I can see how some people might be distracted by it, or think it is a flaw, but as a film photographer, I love it.

I got a "Mystery Train" letterpress poster quite a while ago but I haven't gotten around to framing it. Since it is in the style of an old show poster, they printed it with the same method. It's pretty eye catching so I'll have to find a spot that needs some color to hang it.
