Rocket Man, no worries, dude, just clarifying and letting others know the CriterionCast tweets are usually pretty solid.

I have respect for veterans of the forum, as we have seen it all and frankly will end our discussion here. Now, let's bring on the announcements... We need some WES.....

Last Friday was actually Veterans' Day.

I was thinking of some good ones a few days ago...and today, I forgot ALL of them.

Except Zardoz.

But I have been super busy at work today, a stark contrast from last year, and have not had time to do much posting.

Glad to know I have a fan, though!

I hope this gets a Blu-ray upgrade soon:

I was really looking forward to seeing for spine #600 to be 'Bird on a Wire"

Oooh, that would be nice. TCM's been showing The Innocents with Ms. Kerr a lot lately, and I think it would be a fantastic title for the collection. It's genuinely creepy.

Will Tiny Furniture be the first film released by Criterion since The Rock and Armageddon that got awful reviews? I seriously don't get it.

Did she sleep with Becker or something?

No, Criterion released A Safe Place in the BBS box set last year. They also upgraded Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas back in April.

I enjoy both of those films

I don't have an issue with use of coupons if you are reasonable about it. Some of those posters did 5-6 transactions in a row to get all their titles for 10, or had a manager come and override the clerk when they were denied. That's not reasonable. That draws attention to yourself, and causes coupons to be ruined for everyone. Once or twice, or don't do the transactions in a manner that will draw attention to yourself, and if you're rejected, just say fine. The coupon does have regulations, and B&N isn't inforcing them in a manner they should. It's slightly dishonest to use a coupon that was intended for one time use one two more times, but no one is 100% ethical. However, using it like 5 times or more in a row is just low. Just because there's a loophole, doesn't mean you have to exploit that loophole so much that it ruins the fun for everyone.

The 50% off pre-orders is a little different, as a lot of people didn't think it was a mistake at first, and that B&N were trying to compete with Amazon. However, if someone had ordered 5 or 6 copies of every single pre-order, that would again, be abusing the system.

Again, I have no problems with the coupons, I have problems with people who will only buy because of the coupons, and could potentially cause the whole 50% off sale to not occur.

No argument from me...that is exactly what I do...push a little, but beyond that, you swallow hard and deal with it. I would NEVER flag a manager to do an override...that's insane and most managers would follow the textbook on coups use anyway. Ya gotta be reasonable!

As for the coupon BS, I understand your point, but I also know that you will not sit and wait for the next 'super-sale' to buy another release, as you enjoy the films for what they are. The people in the sale forum, from what I am reading, do not seem like fans or lovers of the films, but rather people that want to get a 'deal'. The fact that they can 'wait' on a film for 6+ months to purchase at a better price (at $15 or less) is pointless if you enjoy the film. Seems, as according to their collection link, that they have no problem paying $15 or so for 'Green Lantern', but not a Criterion release.This has frankly led me to believe that they will buy at the low price and sell for profit, which is fine, but apparently the abuse has led to B&N to discontinue coupon use in-store for many customers. I think that sort of wraps it up....

Well...looks like we're both on the same path with today's purchases. I rented the Three Colors DVDs from NetFlix and loved them all...Double Life made sure that I checked them out. I also rented The Decalogue, which I hope SOMEONE eventually releases on blu...

I've never seen Rules of the Game, but keep hearing what an important film it is...seems the right thing to do to pick it up.

It's a shame that the "whor*s" that blatantly misuse the coups, screw it up for the rest of us.
