If the HD image looks at least as good as the 2020 Spanish blu ray (without English subs), consider me interested.

Question:

Are the corrected versions of Citizen Kane UHD and A Hard Day's Night UHD out in stores yet?

If I get them at B&N, will I get the new versions?

Or will I still need to mail in for replacements?

So happy!

Ooh, may have to remember that this weekend.

Ordered "Pink Flamingos" and "The Worst Person in the World" on the site last night (the better part was I ordered the DVD for "Worst Person..." and they gave me the Blu for it (at the DVD price) when I went to pick up the order) and grabbed "Deep Cover" in store.

Answering my own question - found plenty of copies of both at B&N, all were corrected, all noted by a sticker over the UPC with a new UPC.

Tried to order movies that likely wouldn't make it to 4K anytime soon (Criterion has shown so little love to Japanese cinema the last few years). But who knows?



I've watched the first two before.

You got lucky, they aren’t supposed to honor it. I tried last night and two employees wouldn’t budge. The coupon terms exclude sale and clearance items, including items 50% off, which include Criterions.

Anybody know what the deal with Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! is? It's available on the B&N site but not 50% off (it's listed for the full $39.99). Amazon is out of stock, and on criterion's website it's currently unavailable.

Wasn’t that a dual-format release? Maybe they’re just now doing a blu-ray only version? Those sound like the symptoms of switching versions format editions in the past.

Kinda what I was thinking as well.

Got my Barnes and Noble order in:

Last Waltz 4K
Monterrey Pop
Dressed to Kill

[zoodermin]

As usual, I want to mix my B&N order between some films I've seen before and some blind buys. This time, I'm interested in Howard Hawks' Only Angels Have Wings to blind-buy. What's your opinion on the film?

[alull]

From Amazon:

LAST WALTZ 4K
MISSISSIPPI MASALA
ROUGE
DRIVE MY CAR

Can't spend more. Already got too many waiting to be watched. I'm happy with this sale.

[Strangerbyday]

Amazon Order:

Miller’s Crossing
Funny Games
All That Jazz
Bamboozled
The Worst Person in the World
Shaft 4K

Also stuck preorders in for:
Okja 4K
The Virgin Suicides 4K
Raging Bull 4K
Devil in a Blue Dress 4K
Drive My Car

I’m waiting for I Wanna Hold Your Hand & Love Jones to drop but other than that think I’m done for this sale.

Howard Hawks was a man for all seasons. He did quality work in every genre he dabbled in, and OAHW is one of his top films altogether.
It's a modest drama/adventure with a terrific cast.

I've been meaning to fish mine out of storage and give it a watch. Should do that tonight.

I only picked up "Come and See" from Amazon. I'm too worried movies will be re-issued in 4K immediately after I buy them!

It's been nearly a year since Criterion announced their first 4K release. Since then, they've announced a total of 18. Of those, only 7 are upgrades from previous Criterion BDs. This shouldn't inhibit your current interests.

[jshaide]

Went to the store today and got:
The Funeral
Mr Klein
Round Midnight
Pink Flamingos
Chan Is Missing
Rouge
Flight of the Phoenix
Worst Person
Miracle in Milan
Walker

Will go back for:
Girl Can’t Help It
Okja
Raging Bull
Summertime
Hoffmann
Double Indemnity
Shaft
Last Waltz

[Jobla]

Might go for:

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
STREETWISE
THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT

[Central IL Film Fan]

I picked up an order at the store.

[Cremildo]

A modest haul, no blind-buys.
