This is what I immediately thought of when I saw the clue, not knowing there was a Juliette Binoche film with that name.

Great episode of the Flintstones, btw. MAJOR FLINTSTONES SPOILER AHEAD

[Show spoiler]

Very Twilight Zone-ish.

Has anyone heard anything about the My Criterion page at the Criterion website? It's been for ever and it still says "Under Construction" like a Geocities website.

I remember when there was a newsletter drawing of grapes in the sun - obviously, it was for A Raisin in the Sun. Even so, some insisted that it was for something else, like The Wild Bunch.

I thought that the accepted guess was that the "raisin dancing in the sun" clue was for The Big Chill (I heard it through the grapevine?)

Weren't those two different clues? A newsletter clue with a grape/raisin tanning on a chaise lounge and a New Years clue with the dancing grape(s)?

Or something like that?

MifuneFan · 10-31-2018, 08:43 PM

The Big Chill raisin clue was in a NYD drawing, and it was from several years back, while the bunch of grapes sun-tanning was a newsletter clue from this year, and was almost certainly for A Raisin in the Sun, which was announced soon after.

Not sure if the website hasn't been updated, or they're not actually starting the sale today, but everything is still listed an full price on BN.com

It starts tomorrow (Nov. 2nd).

Cremildo · 11-01-2018, 02:47 PM

I'll pick up nothing in the B&N sale. Not only does their packaging suck, but also I want to accumulate loyalty points on Criterion.com so that I can shave off $50 on that Ingmar Bergman boxset during their next flash sale. So I'm just gonna keep buying their stuff for regular prices on Criterion.com.

Kyle15 · 11-01-2018, 04:20 PM

Bergman set and Some Like it Hot for me this month.

I have Some Like it Hot pre-ordered at Amazon, it's still $19.59 there.
I will probably pick up Shampoo....

caiman · 11-01-2018, 05:04 PM

Here's what I'm thinking about:

Night of the Living Dead
Andrei Rublev
Silence of the Lambs
Complete Lady Snowblood
True Stories
Multiple Maniacs

Jr7936 · 11-01-2018, 05:06 PM

for me only the bergman set.

javy · 11-01-2018, 06:03 PM

I wonder if I were to pick up the Le Deuxième Souffle DVD that it would be announced for an upgrade to blu-ray this month...

olivianewtonyawn · 11-01-2018, 06:20 PM

Definitely picking up Sisters during B&N sale. I don't think I'm getting the Bergman box since I already own almost all of the ones that I like.

Ray Jackson · 11-01-2018, 06:47 PM

Anyone have any thoughts about Dheepan, positive or negative?

I have little doubt that it’s a good picture, but these days I’m trying to limit my blind buys to films that will have strong replay value over the long run.

...it’s why I passed on I, Daniel Blake during the last sale.

Just the Bergman set. I pre-ordered Some Like it Hot when Amazon price matched Walmart and would be cheaper than ordering it from B&N.

StarDestroyer52 · 11-01-2018, 06:57 PM

What time do the sale prices usually take effect?

Someone over at HTF said their local store told them it starts Friday Nov 2 through end of the day Monday Dec 3.
