I'd never bought a Criterion release until I stumbled upon the B&N sale a few days ago. I bought For All Mankind on Blu-ray because I'm a huge space nerd. Holy poo poo.

In the time it took to go from My Wishlist to My Cart, Seven Samurai sold out.  Ended up with Broadcast News, Sanjuro, and Jimi at Monterey blu-rays. Big Mean Jerk fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Feb 15, 2012 |

 The Buy Two Get One sale is over at 02:59 AM ET online and it ended yesterday in store. Those debating between titles should choose quickly.  High & Low, Charade, and The 39 Steps for me. It was very tempting to toss in three more, but I do need money for food. Big Mean Jerk fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jul 10, 2012 |

I'm limiting myself to one blu-ray for this sale, and I'm pretty sure I want another Kurosawa. I've already got Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Kagemusha, Seven Samurai, High & Low, and Rashamon. Any suggestions?

Red posted:Cronos is a vampire flick that's also in Spanish (with some English), and I don't think I have much to compare it to. Maybe, in tone, because it's so different (focuses on an older man), you could compare it to an old Twilight Zone episode. Ron Perlman is awesome in it, too. I like everything about these sentences. I'll probably pick up both of them because I have no self-control.

I once waited 5 weeks for B&N to ship a single Criterion. In-store is always the better option for them. Just a reminder that the B&N 50% off Sale ends this coming Monday, the 28th. Final weekend, folks. My haul this time; Red River Stagecoach Cronos The Devil's Backbone Scanners Sansho the Bailiff The Hidden Fortress A Brief History of Time Ace in The Hole

Basebf555 posted:I picked up the Yojimbo/Sanjuro box set and I already have Seven Samurai. If I love all three of those then can I assume I will also love Hidden Fortress? I don't usually blind-buy Criterions but I haven't been disappointed in a Kurosawa film yet. Hidden Fortress is fantastic and well worth your $20.

Folks will probably jump on me for this, but being a huge Star Wars fan greatly increased my enjoyment of The Hidden Fortress. The characters and plot were instantly familiar so there wasn't that 10-15 minute period in the beginning where you're still getting into the movie. Toshiro Mifune is great, as always, but the two peasants steal the show.

I've been very satisfied with my blind buys, which probably make up 80% of my Criterions. The only blinds I've hated or were really indifferent to were Blow Out, Broadcast News, and Overlord.

In a strange turn of events, I ended up with an extra Zatoichi complete set. It's still in shrinkwrap, but has two small indentations in the box courtesy of USPS. Anyone interested? Shipped from US, 77059.

I personally would love it if Criterion did a few more "blockbusters". You know for a fact that Criterion is going to spend more time restoring whatever they work on, plus you have incredible features. Inside Llewyn Davis isn't obscure either and the initial blu-ray release was barebones as hell.

I need to watch Seven Samurai. It's been sitting on my shelf since I bought it two years ago, but it's surprisingly hard to find time for a 3 hour movie.
