I saw The American the other night, and I can definitely see the crossover appeal. Though I personally prefer Revanche. Of the two I'd be more inclined to revisit that one.

I tried to do that, but their website won't let me! I'm not even signed in and it told me I can't use it twice.

Oh well, two pre-orders for $43.15.

I have a real suspension of disbelief problem with gorgeous prostitutes but that aside it does sound worth a look.

Please don't crush my childhood dream. There have to be gorgeous prostitutes somewhere, or Risky Business lied to me...

I closed out safari, left for two hours, then came back and placed an order for another two and it worked. Cool deal. 4/6 ordered from February.

The gorgeous ones are high-priced escorts.

Anyone know if Borders charges you now or at time of shipment for these pre-orders? Has anyone who ordered theirs gotten charged yet?

Just curious...

Thanks!

Also...does anyone remember if January was a Buy 2 Get 1 Free month @ B&N?

Thanks!

Hi,
I just wanted to mention if you're having issues getting posts approved on criterion forum that you feel are appropriate please feel free to contact me.

Just to address the issue, we do approve/disapprove the first few posts by a new member as a security measure. On top of spam and abusive posts we will also deny posts that may say something like "nice cover art!" or "I want Criterion to release [such and such film]" or "I can't wait to see this!" While maybe unfair we have to do this, unfortunately.

Again, if an initial post gets denied and you don't feel it goes against our posting guidelines please feel free to contact me on that site and I'll look into it.

Thanks!

Ordering Criterions @ B&N was a big disappointment for me when they offered them @ 19.99: all four I ordered were cancelled: "Not available" while they were listed all the same...
Got them from Axelmusic OK.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Are you just now seeing the March announcements, Beta? I hope you realize all the pre-orders on Amazon have been up for a week or so, as well.

Don't get me started on B&N. A month later and I'm still waiting on two. They had to reship three of them. Well on Friday a month after ordering, Charade finally arrived. Now I think two others are missing again since they have been stuck with 'shipment accepted by usps' since the 11th. I'm not sure why they didn't ship the 2nd time at least priority when they said they did. Maybe they can make it two months.

The moral of the story either pay for UPS shipping or don't order from B&N. Contracting DHL to USPS can't be saving them enough money for this kind of service.
