Very surprised to have found my sale order on my porch today. Great service!

Wow, is this recent? He must be just a couple years short of a 100 now, to see him lucid and articulate like this is such a joy

That was awesome! I wish he could do another one that was simply made up of favorites for which he had no connection - although granted, he has a lot of connections. Such an interesting guy.

I know; Apple still doing nothing with their Best Picture winner CODA makes me feel dubious but given his tight relationship with Criterion, I would hope that Scorsese wrote it into the contract or something that they'd do a release for Killers

Paramount was the first logo that played when I saw Killers last night. Maybe Paramount will release a disc after it has premiered on Apple Tv

quick service but my order was well boxed and packed but still 3 of 5 items were damaged. It feels like they just send out damaged items sometimes and it’s not a packaging thing.

Videodrome 4k box looks like someone stepped on it, browning set looks like it was sliced on the spine with a box cutter and my Godzilla set is dented to hell even though it had its own box. I know they are good about replacement parts but it’s still super frustrating

"You haven't been thrilled until you've seen..." my Criterion Flash Sale haul.

Maybe its already widely known but I didn't realize The Princess Bride blu ray now comes in a standard case.

Next sale is at least ten things, at least 20 discs.

There were parts of the original cellophane still sticking to the Scanavo case, so it had been wrapped at one point. I assume it was a return. Kinda weird how they didn't bother to re-wrap it. They even stuck one of the blue stickers right on the case. Easily removed that. Took a look at the disc, as I assume that's why it was returned. Just the faintest hint of a surface scratch on it. My OPPO seems to give zero f**ks about scratches, however, and I am sure it will play fine. I keep thinking about that sticker stuck right to the Scanavo and it makes me chuckle a little bit. Bizarre. This happened to anyone else before?

Never with Criterion. However, years ago when I bought Heavy Metal on Blu-ray from BB and unwrapped it, the remainder of the previous wrapper was underneath. My head spun a bit, but it worked and still does.

I got daddy long legs during the flash sale and it finally arrived today. So when I opened it and found there was no disc inside it kind of sucked lol. Has this happened to anyone else ?

These things are done manually, I imagine, someone accidentally closed a case before they put the disc in. Just get in touch and let them know, they should ship you either the disc or a full replacement without fuss.

I was waiting for this one, good old Roger still looking great and with excellent storytelling skills from his career. I think awards are all always full of shit anyway, but really where is this man's lifetime achievement award or honorary Oscar? No, let's promote pretentiousness all the time and try to fool the public that we in the industry are all lofty intellectuals who only care about producing ART and making the world a better place to live. Screw that, the world wants DEATH RACE 2000, not THE ENGLISH PATIENT! Long live Roger Corman!

What I most respect about Uncle Roger is he had time for both. Cries and Whispers and Death Race 2000.

And FWIW I consider his collaboration with Vincent Price on the Edgar Allan Poe adaptations a great artistic achievement.

I always yield to you, Colonel Taylor.

One of my favorite shows is Seinfeld and it captures that sentiment exactly-In one episode Jerry and Kramer couldn’t wait to see a film called Death Blow while in another, Elaine has to suffer through The English Patient (twice!) “It’s too long, just die already!”

Well speaking as a fan of English Patient.....I did think this went on a bit....

Is this a bit? Roger Corman received an Honorary Academy Award in 2009 "for his rich engendering of films and filmmakers".
