Only current options are as part of a German set of Westerns, and this Australian standalone:



Definitely overdue a US release.

Just picked up a copy of this and I felt like crying. It's so beautiful, and heavy!

What part of Arizona?

Were you able to get the Bruce Lee set to scan correctly without any sort of manager override?

"My health. I came to Arizona for the waters."

"Waters? What waters? We're in a desert."

"I was misinformed."

The Bruce Lee set, as well as "Come and See", were the only 2 releases I went the online route for. I figured they'd be hot items so I ordered them basically as soon as the sale went live.

When I walked into the physical store today, neither of those two were in-stock (big surprise).

Thanks for the heads up! Bruce Lee set wasn't on the shelves because the Street Date is 7/14/20.

I initially asked because there was a store I stopped by on Day 1 that had 3 of the sets behind the counter.

Not sure why I didn't immediately try to have it scanned but the store is about 40+ minutes away and I didn't want to drive out there empty-handed.

What’s funny is that I have some family there and many years ago they owned land on Oak Creek and I remember how nice it was being in the cool, cool, water.

My Bruce Lee set from B&N has shipped and the tracking number is in my USPS Informed Delivery portal. I can't wait.

This is good news. The Sweet Hereafter and Exotica are very top notch with the former being an absolutely amazing film.

[SmittysGelato]

Exotica is the best Canadian film of all time.

The Sweet Hereafter is my most wanted film.

[zoodermin]

My July haul:

The Lady Eve
All About My Mother
Day for Night
My Darling Clementine.

I've seen Day for Night and All About My Mother previously, the other two are blind buys and I'm very excited to see them. I'm also thinking of buying The Leopard (blind-buy as well) sometime next week.

[Egbert Souse]

Went in day one and managed to find the Zatoichi set! Also picked up The Story of Temple Drake, Night Train to Munich, Only Angels Have Wings, Boyhood, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

Hoping to get War of the Worlds, Come and See, The Lady Eve, and Taste of Cherry before the month is out, plus maybe the Bruce Lee set.

I hope the November sale runs a lot more smoothly than this sale has.

It is not even listed on their website.

Love the area, particularly Slide Rock park. And yes, the water can be darn cold.

(I'm from Massachusetts, but will retire to Arizona some day.)

Fantastic start to his work. Hope more of his work gets released too.
