Thanks, I'm hoping that is the case. I know Criterion will sometimes "OOP" a title if a new upgraded release is planned.

Noticed titles on the Criterion site states "Ships within three business days"

That;s new -- wasn;t that way a couple hrs ago. Almost always a ramp up sign, but with the new website I wasn't sure if it would do the same

Actually I just noticed all my items in the cart just dropped to 50% off without a code so it looks like a go

[MifuneFan]

50% Flash sale is LIVE

[StarDestroyer52]

Got the Zaitochi set.

[Strife88x]

There's no promo code. Just add to cart and checkout.

Tried to restrain myself a bit since I plan on getting the Bergman set and Ambersons next month. So I got three:



Medium Cool is the only blind buy.

[Luke Dodge748]

This flash sale couldn't have been on Friday could it?? Oh well, I always want excuses to go to Barnes and Noble... I just hope they have the Zatoichi set in store during their sale.

Blue BFI versus Green Criterion

Having never seen the film, which one is more accurate?

I wouldn't say it's blue vs green, when we see the BFI look like this:




and Criterion like this:



I have no idea which is more accurate, but the Criterion looks better overall to me. These are significant differences though, and it would be pretty odd for the BFI to have fully tinted scenes for no apparent reason.

Well I actually showed some restraint compared to last year. Picked up:

[SleazyForWeasley]

The Emigrants/The New Land
Bull Durham
The Tree of Life

[repulsed]

First time participating in a flash sale! Picked up a bunch I never see in stores at B&N

Mizoguchi eclipse set, The Forgiveness of Blood, The Secret of the Grain, The Makioka Sisters, ¡Alambrista!, and Monsoon Wedding.

[Cremildo]

My little haul:

[trombone dixie]

Snagged these three to throw me over the top for a $50 Loyalty Bonus.



Historically I only purchased Criterion titles during B&N sales. Do they mail Gift Cards or are they put on my account?

[Strife88x]

They send you an e-mail with a gift certificate number. You can use it during your next order in the check-out

Ok, I'm confused... if you usually buy your Criterions from B&N, how have you built up a loyalty bonus with Criterion direct?
