I LOVE that movie. I want a blu release soooooo badly. I doubt it will happen though.

Looks like the RHINO code for Criterion's webstore has finally expired.
Luckily I just snuck in my January pre order a few nights ago.
Unfortunately, I just got my $50 gift certificate and was looking to place my February order with it. Hopefully sometime within the next two months they will have another code offer.

Anyone know how to track standard shipping international orders from Barnes and Noble?

Still waiting for my Criterions to arrive in Australia

I finally got to see Sweet Smell of Success (for the first time) via a NetFlix rental. A very engaging film and some fine screenwriting...I can see this looking as good on BD as Paths Of Glory. Feb. 22 can't come soon enough!

Next up will be another Carol Reed film that I heard about here, but have never seen...The Fallen Idol...I'll try to squeeze it in this weekend, around BBS, Fantasia, and ALL the supplemental material on NOTH and others that I have not gotten to yet!

I think you'll enjoy it just as much as I do, rkish. If you do enjoy it and wanted to add it to your collection, it shouldn't be too hard to find a CC copy at a decent price since it went OOP just this year.

Why would you say that? It made $32M at the Box-office, it has Cage, Goodman, Ving Rhames, Patricia Arquette, and Tom Sizemore in it.....

And it's a Scorcese film.... whether it's one of his best, worst, most "Average" etc, doesn't really matter.... it has built in sales potential.

How many times was it released on DVD?

Thanks CC! I just checked Amazon and there seems to be new and used copies available, if I wish to purchase it.

It is no coincidence, I'm afraid.

In fact, that "CC" also carries the crown/burden of the Criterion Collection empire.

Hey...I've got a question. I've seen this " F. W. Murnau Boxset BD" on DVDBeaver. If you already own the MoC versions of Sunrise and City Girl, is there any need to even consider this?

blkhrt · 12-02-2010, 01:41 PM

I watched Vivre Sa Vie last night and absolutely loved it. It got me thinking though. Does anyone know the history behind why the title isn't translated (on the blu ray, etc) whereas something like Breathless is? Also, having loved both Breathless and Vivre Sa Vie I am thinking about picking up Pierrot le Fou. Anyone have a sense of what a good price for it is? I just looked around a little on Amazon marketplace, but haven't really started searching yet.

I live in a small town, and I got lucky and bought Pierrot le Fou a month ago at my local Borders with a 50% off coupon. I would look around local stores first and see if any copies are getting dusty on the shelves.

I think it mostly has to do with what the original release title was in theaters. Now why those distributors decided to release some titles translated and others not I have no idea.

Same thing is done today, really.

No. Save your money, rkish.

Thanks...I shall!

I'm still on the fence with whether or not to order Tokyo Story from BFI/Amazon UK or roll the dice and hope it gets released on blu by CC.
