The Criterion Collection

[Snicket]

If you place an order on Criterion.com you will get a bonus disc called "99 Reasons", presumably this is a collection of the 3 Reasons for 33 films.

Now word if the disc is DVD or Blu.

I think it might be a sale issue. I know my orders always take two days after I make them before they ship, being Canadian and all, but that's never happened on preorders. My copy of Le Havre shipped a day early in fact. Still had to wait a month to get it though because of our illustrious customs. It's even getting to the point where Amazon orders are bugged up and take 2-3 weeks. My copy of Brave from DeepDiscount finally showed up today after it was shipped on the 30th.

A freebie disc of what is essentially trailers. Definitely just a DVD.

If you can get it at your local Barnes I always ALWAYS buy it in store. I have never ordered from their site, and I have a membership. (although I understand if you live to far from a location of out of the U.S.)

It's good to hear they have stock. As I said, the pre-orders have always shipped on release day for me. This is the 1st time in x amount of years this sale has been going that it has not happened. For me, it's not much incentive to go to the store. Traffic is ridiculous in Chicago pretty much anywhere you go, and most Barnes are in mall settings, which makes the traffic issue worse. Laziness is definitely the call on these sales for me...

I hate having to leave work before announcements are made. It means I have to check the website on my phone and put other drivers' lives in danger. Sheesh.

I'm in the same boat, but I have self control and it's against the law to use a cellphone whole driving here anyways. No one follows the law though and I have been rear ended by two *******s now.

That's nothing. People drive on the sidewalk to pass parked school buses around here.

Hahaha. Or you could check later on and not get anyone killed. Maybe not.

I had my foot ran over by a Neon in grade 11, which was about 11 years ago in an incident like that. The pedestrians are terrible here too, most of them don't even use the sidewalk!

Yes Italy, they were both on the phone at the time. They were idiots.

I'm interested in all 5 films to varying degrees.

correction there Sansho was late

Can you post while you're driving just to let us know you're okay?

Thanks...

I already have Sansho from MoC, and the old Criterion DVD so I think I'm set for that film. Obviously picking up Waterfront and Narayama (been waiting for the latter for a while now). Not sure about the rest.

[SammyJankis]

Wow, that On the Waterfront cover is wonderful.

The Kid With a Bike as well? Yes, please.
