Egbert Souse · 11-02-2019, 03:23 AM

Decided to splurge right away:

Picnic at Hanging Rock (dual format with the book!)
Heaven Can Wait
Night and the City
Young Mr. Lincoln
Rosemary's Baby
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Blu-only)
Forty Guns
The Circus
Cluny Brown
Matewan
Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films

All blind buys except for Rosemary's Baby, Fantasti Mr. Fox, and The Circus. The Godzilla set is so, so gorgeous.

Why do B+N only have the dvd of the Kiarostami set? Any idea? I can't find the blu on their site.

Or maybe you'll like these better (I tend to re-watch these more than my Criterion discs of GDT movies, I'm ashamed to say

)

I ordered Now, Voyager, All About Eve and the Flavor of Green Tea over Rice from the B&N sale. Green Tea already shipped! Might pick up a couple more before its over.

The Sovereign · 11-02-2019, 02:53 PM

Took my first run at the sale yesterday; picked up some new releases along with some that had been on my list for a while.

Do you need a credit card for paypal now on B&N or is my account just messing up?

Probably just a temporary issue. I have PayPal linked to my checking account with a credit card as a backup. I’ve never had funds drawn from the credit card, and I wouldn’t think B&N would care where PayPal drew the funds from as long as they got paid.

Not sure if it was mentioned here, but Target has a B2G1 sale, and many titles are down to $22.99. So 3 titles come to $46 before taxes, or about $15.33 each.

Okay, unusual question for all you Criterion collectors...

What is your least favorite or most regretful blind-buy Criterion purchase?

Mine: Eating Raoul. I even sold it to a Second-hand media shop not long afterwards.

The Big Chill... stellar cast but I just found the whole thing so very obnoxious.

I really liked Eating Raoul btw.

Barnes & Noble is the only physical location you can find them to my knowledge.

FYE tends to have a limited selection depending on the store.

Dressed to Kill. I had been on a roll with DePalma so far (Phantom of the Paradise is one of my all-time favorites along with Blow Out, also enjoyed the Early Films set from Arrow and Sisters), but I found it to be a repellent film. It's like DePalma typed out the screenplay entirely with one hand. I also find the

[Show spoiler]

elements to be distasteful. Especially when William Castle handled the first caveat way more tactfully in Homicidal. Kind of a shame, because it has some incredible cinematography and editing, but it doesn't hold a candle to his next film Blow Out.

It's also funny how much DePalma ripped off from The Bird with the Crystal Plumage. I know he wears his influences on his sleeve like always quoting Hitchcock, but Argento did it better.
