I don't have a ton of money to spend but I'll for sure be picking up the Paths of Glory and Charade blu-rays. Maybe others.

[TripZone]

Apparently coupons don't work. Or at least the old ones.

I ordered already.

The Red Shoes blu, Darjeeling blu, Summer Hours blu, An Autumn Afternoon, Sansho, Ali: FETS.

[Sxottlan]

Thin Red Line will be mine. Nothing else comes to mind right now. Maybe Hausu if I'm feeling up to it.

The Red Shoes blu, Darjeeling blu, Summer Hours blu, An Autumn Afternoon, Sansho, Ali: FETS.

They had a link a few days ago to get a free two month Barnes and Noble membership so I signed up for that. It'll save me another $2 off each blu.

[Boner M]

Why is the von Sternberg collection only reduced from $80 to $70? That's the one I wanted most. Lame.

Ordered the Allan King set and Night of the Hunter.

Apparently this is fixed now.

[Dukefrukem]

Anti-christ $14.99? awesome.

[number8]

I'd buy a bunch if I didn't know that they're also on Netflix streaming.

[Dukefrukem]

Oh my... There's a 25 disc Kurosawa box set going for $200, normally $400.

[balmakboor]

I ordered the Allan King set as well. Been wanting it like mad, but just couldn't justify the expense, until now.

[ledfloyd]

when is this running til?

[MacGuffin]

when is this running til?

Supposedly it ends on the 15th.

[MadMan]

Wait I thought it ended on the 21st. Regardless, I'm broke but I'll consider buying a few if I can.

[balmakboor]

I ordered today and it already shipped. I like these dudes.

[Rowland]

I'll pick up Antichrist at the very least.

[Dead & Messed Up]

It may finally be time to buy Vampyr.

[Russ]

If I had the money, it'd be the Teshigahara box for me.

[EyesWideOpen]

I'd buy a bunch if I didn't know that they're also on Netflix streaming.

Well for me one of the main reasons to buy Criterion is for the bonus stuff and until they have that stuff on netflix streaming I'll buy them.

[EyesWideOpen]

Bought Charade and Paths of Glory and the B&N membership covered the tax and a little more so I ended up paying $39.

I'm thinking about the Sanjuro/Yojimbo set which will end up being around $31.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Oh my... There's a 25 disc Kurosawa box set going for $200, normally $400.

Holy mother do I want this. If only I weren't broke.

[MadMan]

It may finally be time to buy Vampyr.I put off purchasing it during the last sale. Eventually I will get it, though.

[Sxottlan]

Forgot Night of the Hunter. Need that one too.


It may finally be time to buy Vampyr.

I picked that one up the last time they did this sale. Still haven't gotten around to watching it yet though.

[Sven]

If I had the money, it'd be the Teshigahara box for me.

Hooray for in-laws and birthdays! That's how I scored that'n.

Dammit, that's a good point.

[EyesWideOpen]

Dammit, that's a good point.

And netflix doesn't even carry the Charade or Paths of Glory blu-rays.

[EyesWideOpen]

Picked up the Seven Samurai bluray today. Used my membership and a $5 off coupon and it went from $49.99 down to $17.50. Not bad.

[Sxottlan]

No Thin Red Line or Night of the Hunter at the B&N I stopped at today. At least in blu ray. I'll have to try the other one tomorrow.

Night of the Hunter isn't out yet. Comes out the 16th.

[Sxottlan]

Night of the Hunter isn't out yet. Comes out the 16th.

That explains it.

[EyesWideOpen]

That explains it.

Yeah, Antichrist comes out this tuesday and NOTH the tuesday after. The sale will still be going on for both though. I've been reading on the dvdtalk forum that a lot of people are having trouble finding The Thin Red Line in stock and talking to B&N employees it looks like it was underprinted. I've got 6 or 7 B&N locations on my work route and I've seen it at most of them.

I only see about one copy of any new Criterion at my local B&Ns. Saw only one copy of TTRN at the location I visited before the sale.

[EyesWideOpen]

Blind bought the Repulsion blu for $13 today.

And in the last two days after first watching the films I watched/listened to the audio commentaries on Charade and Paths of Glory. Both great listens in completely different ways. The Charade one has the director and screenwriter together making sarcastic comments to each other and telling stories where the Paths of Glory one is with a film critic Gary Giddins and he goes far more into detail of the movie, cast, and it's more of a history lesson of the film.

[MacGuffin]

Did anybody grab the Oshima Eclipse? Thoughts?

[EyesWideOpen]

I picked up Antichrist since I heard that the Von Trier audio commentary is fantastic.

[Sxottlan]

I took the plunge and blind bought House on blu ray and Mishima on standard.

I'll go back tomorrow. I saw a blu ray of Kagemusha last week. I hope it's still there.

[Sxottlan]

Okay, picked up Kagemusha and The Seven Samurai on blu ray.

I think I'm done since The Thin Red Line is on back order everywhere and won't be in until after the half off sale is over.

[right_for_the_moment]

Is The Thin Red Line worth buying, if I already paid $4 for the non-Criterion dvd?

[Boner M]

On now, y'all.

Got me The Phantom Carriage, Island of Lost Souls and 3 Women (Blu).

[MadMan]

Might only be able to afford one, maybe two if lucky. I have yet to resist the sale, though. The best was a summer a year ago where I actually had enough money to purchase six Criterions, at least. Anyone know how long it lasts this time?

[Sxottlan]

On now, y'all.

[Sxottlan]

I'm thinking of getting The Phantom Carriage and Kuroneko at the least.

Carlos and The Killing are also possibilities.

[Dukefrukem]

THis sale is going on right now?

[Derek]

THis sale is going on right now?

You'll have to stop by your local Barnes & Noble or go to their web site to find out!

[Lazlo]

Picked up The Killing and Dazed and Confused.

[Dukefrukem]

The Killing is $14.99!!

[Philosophe_rouge]

[EyesWideOpen]

I went with The Killing and If...

For anyone who was unaware The Killing is actually a two movie set since it also contains a remastered Killers Kiss.

[Qrazy]

My position on purchasing DVDs is vaguely reminiscent of the character arc of Paul Muni in I Am A Fugitive from a Chain Gang.

[EyesWideOpen]

To be honest not that great of a sale on most things. After tax I only ended up saving around $3 each compared to what I would have paid on amazon.

[Sxottlan]

I was only able to get Kuroneko on blu-ray today. They didn't have any of the others in that format. I'll have to try a second store nearby, maybe tomorrow.

[Dukefrukem]

Not B&N but Amazon- great sale going on
