Good call, I just ordered Seven Samurai for $25 using the 15% off code and got the free 2-month membership. Hopefully I get member coupons to use during the criterion sale.

reallyagi · 10-27-2010, 07:46 PM

So my plan for the sale is to break down my orders to about $50 each and use the $5 off coupon (C4R4K3B). That matches the 10% off I would get at the store.

We just confirmed with the store and this item is no longer in stock." I've tried this on all locations that says available and it says the same thing. I also tried it on non-Criterion titles and it's the same message. I'm hoping it's just a glitch in the system since their website seems to have been updated.

No I have not done it yet, but all the other times I have used this feature it has worked. From what you are saying it sounds like a glitch. Though I am just guessing like you.

After my last post I popped in "Hausu" and I gotta say...... it's strange, but I thought it was pretty good..... wait.... "good" isn't the word for it.... "Entertaining", that's what it was..... It was silly, and the over-the-top elements like

made it great. My son didn't mind watching it one bit either

I gotta say though..... keeping "Scooby Doo" in mind while watching it really had me noticing the similarities, which made it fun too.

I gotta say...... this has to be in my top 100 films that

It's worked for me in the past as well so I hope it's just a glitch otherwise, all the titles I'm interested in are supposed to be "out of stock".

Sorry. Didn't know there was a school for big boy posting. Please enlighten me on what was said then, so I can respond to that.

But to be honest, most of this thread is rambling nonsense. What you are doing is rambling nonsense. So Mr. forum leader, if you don't like my posts, you can always not respond to them. Thats a start. I can spew all I want. But if you don't like it, why make something more out of it?

Ok. fair. I wasn't at all bashing you for your taste, just that "poorly written" post. Friends again, I have other people to attend to.

Don't post stupid crap and I won't. Like this.

Oh I don't like CG's posts. Let's talk s*** about him until he responds. Yeah! Then we can say he goes on rant modes. Yeah! Got to LOVE the internet.

Really have to tip my hat to Criterion - I have never once been disappointed by any of their releases (Blu-ray only, I didn't follow the collection closely pre-BD) but they really stepped it up here.

Still waiting for my copy

At least got the chance of seeing it in HD a few weeks back on TFO

Pretty sure you won't be allowed to use coupons (online) during the Criterion sale. That's what happened last time. Might want to come up with Plan B just in case.

So if I buy at the store I'd get 10% off from the membership AND I can use a coupon?

The stepping up began 4 years ago in this case

I think Antichrist should be a mandatory viewing for ages 5-10, to make sure they remember what they see.

Hehe. My dad rented The Toxic Avenger for me when I was 6 or 7. I think he was under the impession it was kid-friendly because of the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. The scene where the punks roll over the kid's head when he's riding his bike haunted for for years

I got each movie for about $15 a pop in July...$40 - 10% (membership discount) brought it down to $36, then minus 50% made it about $18, then the $5 off coupon for purchasing a movie above a certain specified price (I forgot what it was). Add in tax, and I think the movies were $14 and change. Not too bad if you ask me!

Why shop online?? (Unless you don't live near a store)
