That’s on my list of wants!

I'm still thinking a UHD upgrade for its 30th Anniversary of The Age of Innocence is coming. Maybe September?

Looks like Jason Schwartzman grabbed the Pasolini 101 set in his closet picks, which doesn't even come out for another 2 weeks .. The set is smaller than I imagined it would be.

In for The Trial. Might grab The Princess Bride down the road.

[MifuneFan]

This is a surprisingly stacked month. I expected something like Princess Bride to come in a sales month (so Oct/Nov).

[Vrooom]

General question about Criterion BD. Do they support proper pause/playback even after the player powers off?

[Cpt. Feeney]

La Bamba wtf.
I saw it when it came out, and have not thought about it since.

[bergman864]

Excellent looking month. I wonder if they'll change the packaging on The Princess Bride.

[Mister_Kidd]

I wonder if Second Sight is going to release Walkabout in one of their stacked editions.

I’d say they’re keeping it, based on the list of Special Features.

[themp3000]

That’s an insanely strong month. My wallet prepares to weep.

[Gacivory]

I want everything! Yes, including another copy of The Trial! I waited and pleaded this long for it, I better put my money where my mouth is!
