As was mentioned several days ago, if you include a pre-order with the regular sale order, your order won't get charged until it ships, and it won't ship until the pre-order is available.

It's a nice, simple hack to use to get around financial and logistical limitations.
Kino's pre-order discounts are also usually the best pricing outside of a full blown sale, which incentivizes them even more.

I am aware of that and it is would be my fallback option, but in order to employ either, I need to be able to place my order over the phone: the KL site uses a CAPTCHA which will not display in my browser for some reason, therefore I am unable to finish that last stage of the order from their site. So unless they are available to take my phone order on, say Sunday (or Saturday), then I am good. Otherwise, no joy. If I can call in my order on Monday -- assuming that end date means the last day and not "too late" -- I can have those 29 titles in my stocking.

I've never seen a CAPTCHA at any stage of my Kino ordering. Are you using a private browser or is there some other reason you'd be getting a CAPTCHA and I'm not? Maybe if you're not logged in to your Kino account first? And until that's sorted out, have you tried using other browsers?

Got my sale package today, dropped off at 6:30 in the AM while i was sleeping. Got excellent-quality slips on Breakheart Pass and Vera Cruz.

I am using Opera. And I am indeed logged into my Kino account, otherwise I would not be able to even create a cart, which also retains all of my personal data entered during the previous sale when this very issue kept that final click from completing my order.

I am leaving for work right now, but when I get home, I will attempt to order again and grab a screen of the CAPTCHA error message and post it.

I assume, then, that Monday ordering is a no-go?

Have you tried another browser?

Do you have ad blocking or VPN turned on in Opera?

I asked them this and they didn't answer, so I'm assuming no.

This is not true. You do not have to have a Kino account or be logged in to add to a cart and even checkout.

Based on past sales, they last through the end of the final day.

Yes, we're interested.

We had acquired Lovers on the Bridge and Microcosmos from Miramax through Hollywood Classics, the rights are now with Miramax, who's library is being handled by Viacom/Paramount.

Yes, the 4K will include the film on 4K and Blu-ray. There will also be a separate Blu-ray release.

It should be announced next week.

Does anyone know if Sony controls any Tony Curtis films? I just received my Noir set that I bought for The Midnight Story from the sale and am going to do the same for Johnny Stool Pigeon when that set is released. I love that Kino is putting out Curtis' Universal 50's and 60's films and I hope more are coming...

The rights expired in 2021 and was not renewed. I wish it would've sold better, one of my favorites.
