They kind of are the Michael Bay's of music. There was even a U2 song in the last Transformers movie! I think they still make some great music, even though there are some crappy songs on the last couple of albums. I'm very excited about the album they're working on now as Danger Mouse is producing it and the typical U2 crew (Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, etc) are apparently not involved.

Oh wait, we're off topic, aren't we?

That's pretty close to my neck of the woods Brandon.

I only have a few to pick up this sale. Mostly just July releases and Safety Last/Shoah.

If Criterion would just release some U2 stuff, we could talk about them without it being off-topic! Get to it big C!

Right on. My family and I went down probably somewhere near 6-7 years ago, so I guess we decided it was time to go down again.

I bought a lot of the titles I was looking forward to during the Amazon sale, but this is what I have for tonight if there's an overlap.

- A Man Escaped
- Richard III
- Things to Come
- Life of Oharu
- The Blob
- Wages of Fear

My favorite U2 album is The Unforgettable Fire. That one astonishes me with each listen even after all these years.

I guess I should mention a Criterion-worthy topic with this post. The Blob is awesome.

does anyone know how we'll find out about the overlap sale starting, do we just keep refreshing on B&N's home page until something pops up, or do they send out emails to registered users or something

Oh, the overlap isn't on purpose, it's an error on the site...so it's not an actual sale It might not even happen.

I'd say checking on here after midnight-ish is a good source of finding out, or checking the site itself regularly after that point.

oh okay, thanks Coopfilm, makes sense. Lets all hope their site screws up

Exactly.

I will do the same.

Since all the cool kids are doing it, I guess I'll stay up a little later than usual.

11 PM is late for you? (I got work at 7, so it's late for me too) luckily it'll be 10 PM for me

Hope my Credit Card isn't maxed out.

Ah, I thought their sales began at 1 Eastern...but it's been a while so I might be mixing them up with someone else

As far as I know it is midnight, at least I hope so since i don't want to stay up any later.

No I stay up until about 11:30. Usually watch an episode of Friends and then go to bed (it's usually past midnight before I actually fall asleep so it shouldn't be too bad).

I'm a crazy college student, so I've gotten in the habit of staying up until 2 or 3. That habit has continued throughout this summer, so I shouldn't have too much of an issue staying up. I'll just watch Zero Dark Thirty or something while I wait.

...along those same lines, you could just watch M or Peeping Tom.

My problem is that I have a very young son who often gets up between 5 and 6, and I am always already tired from chasing him around all day. My wife is pretty good about going to bed early, but I always have trouble getting enough sleep.
