My bet is Beauty and the Beast could hit the Red Shoes-like back order we saw last July.

I can see this and prob Kiss Me Deadly (obvious reasons) backordered at some point.

ShellOilJunior · 07-12-2011, 08:02 PM

I'm definitely going to pickup The Music Room and I intend to watch it. (!)

so you're buying the film because you like it and want to watch it?

They're all blind buys for me. What do you guys think of that set of films? What should I expect from these discs?

What did you end up paying for all of these and shipping to Canada, was thinking of doing the same but was wondering about shipping/taxes/customs etc

Weird isn't it?

Darkcritic · 07-12-2011, 08:27 PM

Just got from buying the first batch for the sale

!! Here is what I got:

- Diabolique
- Playtime
- Zazie dans le Metro
- Army of Shadows
- Vivre sa Vie
- Paris, Texas
- Repulsion

Waiting to get my second batch this afternoon...

- Solaris
- Mystery Train

The store is also holding me a copy of Kino's Battleship Potemkin, not Criterion related but great non-the-less

He's just looking for attention again. Engage if you like, it will only prolong these shocking insights in film.

rev.and.ride · 07-12-2011, 08:36 PM

Went the online route, used the extra 10% coupon and picked up:

High and Low
The Night of The Hunter
Paris, Texas
Sweet Smell of Success
Vivre sa Vie

Also picked up the out of print Le Trou on DVD for less than $14!

Here's hoping they arrive in one piece and reasonably soon. B&N shipping/customer service has a pretty poor rep.

Shipping isn't that bad. It was 11.95 for 4 BDs and a little over 3 bucks tax. I'm shipping to NS though. Not sure about customs yet, as the order I did last week is still in the mail. That one was 3 BDs, and shipping was 9 bucks or so.

If you want express, it's like 30 bucks.

Annoying that the Beastie Boys Video Anthology isn't listed as a Criterion at B&N. It's one of the few I feel 100% confident will never be released on Blu-ray, I figured I'd finally pick it up for $15 since I love the Beastie Boys... but it's still $27.

And here is my leech, sucking on every post of mine. I'll keep doing them if you like. Funny though, isn't every single post about someone wanting attention on the last page? And "my insights in film"? I didn't know this forum involved insights in film, just "look what I can buy" and "I love cardboard!".

That's good to know.... if you were in Stall #2 doing #1 I would ask you what you were doing taking up a stall for a #1.....

If you were in Stall #1 doing a #3, I would ask you to refrain from such acts in public.

MAYBE the reviewers. Maybe though. Well, they don't buy them so they don't count.

Don't look at me. I only buy the movies for the booklets. I throw the films out.

That is one option I haven't heard about before

Most people don't know this but Stagefright was the working title of Stagecoach before John Ford decided the pivotal scene just wasn't working.

True story.
