The Criterion Collection

[Mister VistaVision]

To anyone who had 4 or 5 titles in one order from the last flash sale, did they actually ship that many cases in the cardboard ravioli as opposed to a box? If so, did any of your cases arrive damaged? My last flash sale order from a year ago arrived in a box, but I thought I saw people saying they weren't getting boxes last November. Thanks.

Ordered five "regular" titles in the October 2020 sale and they were shipped in a box.

November 2020 would have been the B&N 50% event, so maybe people were reporting more prevalent use of "ravioli" packaging for that event? (Although I'd be surprised if more than 3 titles would fit).

I'll try to grab Some Like It Hot and Mildred Pierce.

I'm definitely snagging the Apu Trilogy. I'd seen Pather Panchali years ago and have been wanting to get it as a stand-alone... but then I recently watched the other two movies in the trilogy on Criterion Channel and now I MUST HAVE THEM ALL ON MY SHELF.

My list isn't finalized but two definitive are "In the Mood for Love" and "The Parallax View".

[BluProofie]

Debating whether to get the Cassavetes and Dietrich/von Sternberg sets or the Fellini box set.

I would recommend trying to get your order in early for this one, since it tends to go out of stock quickly.

I'm mostly caught up on things I really want, so it's a small and manageable cost/list this time around. For me:
The Parallax View
War and Peace

If anyone is thinking about blind-buying Wild Life, I think you definitely should. Carey Mulligan is astounding as always and the picture looks gorgeous.

[tama]

Four for me on the next flash sale:

Amores Perros
The Ascent
The Bakers Wife
Joan of Arc

[SuperFlyHighGuy]

Had a big haul in November but want to grab these:

The Double Life of Veronique
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
Tokyo Story

I expect to earn a $50 credit after this next sale. Do such credits have an expiration date? That's one of the things that pisses me off about Deep Discount and some other retailers, because if there's nothing I want at an acceptable price before expiration the credit was worthless (as no doubt intended).

[Ray Jackson]

Anyone heard from Theater Dreamer?

...hope that guy’s okay.

There's PM if you're really worried.

Not as I recall, I used mine nearly a year after I got it.

Criterion issues a $50 "gift certificate" as the loyalty bonus. Although it's not explicitly stated on the site, my understanding is that there is no expiration date.
