Awesome,this film is lost on a lot of my friends that call themselfs Fans of Film.

They either hate it or refuse to even watch it.

I must watch this film at least 4 times a year on dvd.

Never watched it. Also my head doesn't explode from samurai movies.

Ya, but it's also anime. Has Criterion ever released an anime on DVD before? I can't think of any.

You are going to get me in trouble with my views on anime so I won't.

It won't let me check if "M" Blu-Ray is available at BestBuy.com for store pickup, yet they allow me to check Daybreakers which it shows it is in stock at of my stores.
I am preying Best Buy will have "M" on Tuesday. Does anyone know if they will? The Ad didn't show it.
Besides the people who are buying it online, where are you guys going to purchase it at?

Probably Friday the 14th. If the 15th is on a weekend it seems like they make the announcement the Friday before.

Usually when it states NOT AVAILABLE for in store pick up usually means they aren't stocking the title. Some titles they don't stock for whatever reason. I am shocked they stock what Criterion's they do.

I already have one on hold at Barnes & Noble I will get it with my coupon and discounts at about 27.00

It looks like they should be carrying WALKABOUT though.

ccfixx · 05-10-2010, 09:31 PM

Hey, kids... just wanted to let all of you fools know that my Criterion.com pre-order of "M" and "Walkabout" plus the now OOP "The Fallen Idol" showed up today.

So, take that "female dogs"!

Not only did I get "M" a day early, I also received "Walkabout" a week early from Criterion.

Also, just to let ya know, I didn't even receive the usual shipping notice from Criterion this time, so that's part of my shock.

These were part of one of my pre-orders using that AFS code, by the way.

Do you think if I ask them, will they be able to tell me? Or should I ask them to connect me to the stock room or the movie section? I really don't want to get this at Barnes N' noble, bad prices and farther from me....

Well, Criterion is known for sending out stuff early to their über-coolest customers.

You can call a store and ask to see if they can check their computer to see if they are gonna get any stock of the title. If you notice the .com price is 34.99 on M, so I am getting it cheaper at Barnes myself, seems odd they are not carrying this title. I remember picking up the 2 DISC Criterion M at Best Buy about a week early on its last DVD release.

You know never you could find WALKABOUT on shelfs early. (but tip never ask for those over the phone they will notice it isn't time to release yet and yank them or it will just make them aware. always best to check in stores for pre-streets just in case)

Yes. They released "Akira" on Laserdisc, but never anything on DVD

Does it mean that it's BS or is Criterion going to put together Thin Red Line?
