It's not being hacked. It's being overrun with orders. I placed two orders, the first #1930664. I placed my second and got confirmation about two minutes later on #1932262. Within that two minute time frame, they had another 1,598 orders go through.

I snagged The Complete Films of Agnès Varda for $82.78 with a $50 gift certificate!

jshaide · 10-20-2020, 04:28 PM

Ugh, I can't remove this goddamn item from my cart.

Dailyan · 10-20-2020, 04:28 PM

I completely forgot I was close to getting a $50 gift certificate. I went back (just barely made it) for a small second order:

I've been meaning to upgrade my MGM Blus of "Blood Simple" and "Notorious" for a while.

I know, I was just being cheeky.

Anyway finally got my order through:

First two I watched for the first time this year and loved.

Blind bought Kiss Me Deadly to watch during Noirvember this year and Purple Noon I've been meaning to watch for a while now.

Still waiting on confirmation email. Been a while since i ordered, but don't remember it taking this long... even though it's getting hammered.

**edit, Finally came through. they are really getting hammered!**

"Kiss Me Deadly" is an excellent film. One of my favorite blind buys.

It's so bad---it keeps timing out on the check out process.

bradnoyes · 10-20-2020, 04:37 PM

It took me nearly 30 minutes and many attempts, but finally picked up my selections:

Pretty low-key haul compared to some prior years but I could always go back for more.

postmodel · 10-20-2020, 04:37 PM

Yeah this is a tad frustrating. It was going so slow that I didn’t even think my items were being added to the cart then once it finally loaded I had 6 Elephant Mans, 2 Comfort of Strangers, and 3 Vardas. Took forever to update and now I can’t checkout! I’ll be bummed if any of these go out of stock before I can finally place my order.

That's what happened to me---I had 3 ELEPHANT MAN and 2 NAKED CITY.

repulsed · 10-20-2020, 04:39 PM

Got my $50 gift cert and bought

Same here. An all time Top 5 blind buy! Can't recommend it enough!

The Criterion site appears to be getting hammered. It's really slow and I'm getting random application errors. Can't even check out. Maybe I'll try after lunch.

Frightener22 · 10-20-2020, 04:45 PM

Showed a little more restraint after two huge Kino orders but, I'll be back for more next month at B&N. That said, here are my scores...

CLAUDINE is a nice movie with both interesting and relevant thoughts in its head, though not necessarily a groundbreaking film. At first glance I wouldn't think it "significant" enough for Criterion and I'm cynical enough to wonder if it would have ever been considered without our current cultural climate. But it was and that's cause for celebration regardless. It's great when Criterion explores small "everyday" dramas with common sense ideas and elemental messages rather than just those buried in epic opera anguish.

randian · 10-20-2020, 04:53 PM

Here's my order, assuming everything ships. They all showed as in-stock when ordered, but it's been 30 minutes and I still don't have an order confirmation email.

Got my order in and went for these:
