I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade my copy of Videodrome. I already own the Criterion DVD. I like the movie, but I've only watched the DVD once since I bought it. At some point, I'm probably going to have to stop trying to upgrade all my DVDs, especially if they were solid releases from Criterion.

I caught them all at $27.99, but it seems that Fish Tank is the only one available at that price now, all the others are $35.99

When did the Pre-orders go up??? I can't believe I missed the $27.99 price!

The Last Picture Show (at least that's what I watched first when I got my set!)

Might just see that on too... Might see "Head" of I'm still awake. This will be the 1st time seeing both films. Amazing that Michael Nesmith particpated on the commentary, he usually distances himself from the "Monkee-mania".

I actually met the other 3 in the mid 90'a at Sam Goody and they signed my original vinyls of "Headquarters" & "The Birds, The Bees and The Monkees".

If you're not crazy about it, then there's no need to buy it, especially for a second time.

Well I placed my order on November 24th, I remember I was waiting for Amarcord to appear after all the others were available to pre-order.

greekak229 · 12-03-2010, 07:55 PM

I pre-ordered Army of Shadows and Fish Tank, and they're still $27.99.

I have Amarcord and Still Walking ordered together (placed on the 24th according to Amazon) and I just placed the order for Fish Tank....

I guess I just don't know how I missed Senso and Sweet Smell of Success (in addition to Fish Tank) when I placed my orders on the 24th

I seem to remember ordering them all..... but I guess I didn't

That was the first one that I watched last night with the misses. She loved it.

Oh, and so did I. Excellent transfer!

Hmmm...

I think Soul Man and the TV Collection are new.

Sorry, old news!

Ebert tweets like a dervish, so I assumed this was new!

I can't quite put my finger on why but I actually think Gigli would make a good Criterion release.

They couldn't go full-bore MST3K mockery but there's a lot of kitchy/culty/tongue-in-cheek potential there as well as room for some pretty interesting serious commentary.

I'll bet it would sell pretty well too.

Ordered Yojimbo/Sanjuro and Seven Samurai yesterday on Amazon at $52.66 for both and UPS had just delivered them. Gotta love that Prime! Will be watching after dinner.

That was great! I especially loved the Ghost Dad one because that was one of my favorite films as a kid, God knows why.

I'll pick on you here...... since this is a great "unintentional" example (besides, you live in Ohio, so I know you've endured worse

)

She loved the movie.... you spent the time critiquing the transfer
