Are you sure it's not you who's my sockpuppet, along with the others? If I'm a sockpuppet, I must be your equivalent of Norman Bate's mother, since I'm the only girl who posts here regularly.

Yeah Pat...very disappointed in the BD case. There is a nice "slipbox" as per the last releases, but the swiss cheese case is a major disappointment.

BTW...these are "holes" and not "thinner plastic areas" like some green cases reflect...

Sorry I do not know what sockpuppet mean's

I will be getting this set in the next fe weeks, I never wait long for getting those Kino Keaton sets from fear mostly that they will go OOP before I get to them

My reasoning exactly...I'd rather put off the Mizo set to get this for now...

wiki-

an online identity used for purposes of deception. The term—a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock—originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of an internet community who spoke to, or about himself while pretending to be another person.[1] The term now includes other uses of misleading online identities, such as those created to praise, defend or support a third party or organization.[2] A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym[3] and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer.

Maybe that's what happened to Joe...

In my mind, that's exactly who you are, and I don't appreciate you airing our dirty laundry for all to see, Mother.

I believe it means it's best to back away. Slowly. Non-threateningly. It seems the natives are restless:

Remember: No sudden moves. Back away... Prepare some non-threatening conversation just in case they notice you.

What lovely taxidermy you have there!

Maybe Joie has had some Cream of Rootbeer soup, and is now a werewolf!

Not sure why you are concerned (your business), but I'd recommend PM'ing a mod like Beta Man.

It is a violation of General forum rules:

Miss you, Beta.

The US site doesn't have the pre-order up yet for some odd reason. I'm still waiting for them to add the June pre-orders for Criterion too. They're also having a mini-sale of sorts, as a bunch of titles are down in the 20-24 dollar range.

And finally confirmed on the official Beatles site

A bit off topic but just in case anyone is interested. Was at Wall mart and they had To Catch A Thief for $16.99 but actually it pass in the cash register at $14.99, very good price. That is in Montreal howver don't know if it's the same everywhere

I see, well I am no sockpuppet, been in here long enough. That being said I will mention it when someone is being a jack@ss toward someone else when the person is only providing their opinion on something. Too many people sometime in these forums seem to thing that only their own opinion should be listen too.

Just read it in the Kino thread. Excellent news.

I'd like to say that all we need now is a Criterion release of Spartacus, but that would seem ungrateful and/or spoiled after learning this great news.

Hell yeah, the only Stanley's I haven't seen. I could kick myself for not making it to the American Cinemateque about a year and a half back to view a screening of Fear & Desire.

Not ungrateful at all, just the God's honest truth. I do think we'll see an upgrade of it this year, based upon the heavily scrutinized desktop work station photo Criterion posted last year.

Indiewire posted today as part of their New Directors/New Films 2012: 10 Films Indiewire Thinks You Should See:

"Fear and Desire"
Stanley Kubrick is not a new director and "Fear and Desire" is not a new film. But when this first feature came out in 1953, the opposite was true. Kubrick's legendary initiation behind the camera -- excluding his background as a photographer -- came together when the filmmaker was 24. Although Kubrick himself felt the movie was lacking and tried to suppress it, the minimalist war drama about five soldiers dealing with a native woman behind enemy lines illustrates the seeds of inspiration for the director's first widely acclaimed masterpiece, "Paths of Glory." No longer a question mark of the past, these new screenings of "Fear and Desire" will finally fill in a major gap thanks to Kino Lorber's restoration of the film.
