No doubt. No bonuses for CEOs who lose money. I'm sure they'd figure it out if there were actual consequences.

If you can play region B discs, the Eureka release of Shoah has a noticeably better video presentation than Criterion, which has a greenish cast. It also includes an additional 3.5hr film - Last of the Unjust.

[guizhang]

was hoping for The Essential Jacques Demy set on b&n. ... but nope, not even listed :\

I'm impressed that we got through the build up to this sale without an "informed" prediction that it wasn't going to happen.

I still have my doubts

Does Barnes and Noble even exist? Has anyone even seen it in-person?

A place called Borders told me it's all an illusion.

[Member-222782]

Who are those Barnes and Noble fellows? Attorneys? Why are they on a Blu-ray phorum

[bradnoyes]

Disappointed that the Munchausen UHD doesn't appear to be in the sale. Or are they still updating the listings?

I always like to voice my support for TSPDT. I think it's a great resource for cinephiles even if some disagree with Bill's methods for rankings.

Any chance of Exotica coming to 4K? The transfer was struck from 4K and compressed to blu.

I'd say that has the same chance as Russell Westbrook joining the 50 40 90 club this season.

Is this sports?

[drownsoda]

I'm more or less maxed out on current Criterion titles I want (i.e., I have gotten everything I feel falls under "must own," plus some more). In any case, I relented and stopped by B&N after work to get a few for some weekend viewing:
