Nice Deal! I picked up these 3! I have been eyeing these all for a couple months now.

The films have started touring in Europe but not the US yet—not sure how they usually do it but I would assume we wouldn’t get a Box Set until that’s happened, but I’d love to be wrong

[MifuneFan]

I think some just expect them to formally announce it for his birthday, even if it doesn't come out till much later this year.

Thanks, everybody, for the input on Punch Drunk Love. I'm going to pick it up. I've not seen Inherent Vice, yet, so any comparisons to it don't give me any frame of reference. I need to pick that one up, too.

Has anyone looked at Fellini’s Book of Dreams? OOP copies are super expensive but it looks like it’s coming back into print on January 28. Was wondering what the content is like and if it’s worth getting

I own the OOP edition. It's like a diary of his dreams. Whenever he had an interesting dream, he wrote it down and drew a cartoon comprised of images from the dream. The book contains facsimile pages of drawings and handwritten notes accompanied by typed English translations. It's definitely worth getting if you like Fellini.

Check your local Dollar Tree if that chain exists up where you're at. I picked up IV and Her for a buck a piece a couple weeks ago.

really want to start watching fellini, but keep hoping for a box set before diving in. i know there is a few on the criterion channel.

Any guesses on when the next Flash sale will hit? According to my order history since I started buying directly from Criterion, we’re looking at 2-3 weeks minimum.

The first Flash Sale dates of the past few years:

March 5, 2019
February 13, 2018
February 28, 2017
February 23, 2016

I started partaking in Criterion’s site sales on October 6, 2015, so I don’t know, offhand, when the first sale hit that year. Has it ever come before mid-February?

[theater dreamer]

Speaking of Flash sales, what was everybody’s first Flash sale order? When did you buy, and what did you get?

My first one was on October 7, 2015. I didn’t catch it until after midnight. I hadn’t started obsessively checking the forum, Reddit, my email, the Criterion site....that would come with the next sale. My order was quite tiny compared to the ones after, but it started me down the road to my Criterion obsession.

The Night of the Hunter
Diabolique
Breathless

Score on Bezos Street @$20 each means I'll get to watch these three before the next Criterion flash sale:

Looking at my order history at criterion.com, it looks like February is the norm. I placed orders back in 2012 and 2014 on the following dates:

February 25, 2014
February 14, 2012

Mine was Feb 23, 2016, when I picked up:



Lots more since then.

[ravenus]

My first Criterion sale order was from back in Feb 2011:

[Al3xanderdelag]

Mostly gonna focus on Melville. Getting the remainder of his stuff thats in print like Le deuxième souffle, Le Silemce Del La Mar, and Les Enfants Terribles

[thatguamguy]

Dunno what the date was off-hand, but I am sure that my first flash sale blu-ray order was "Paths of Glory", "Days of Heaven", and "Brazil".

What are the dimensions of the Godzilla boxset? Trying to see where it will fit on my shelf.
