Ah fuck. Too many that I want to purchase. How often do these flash sales happen? Twice a year?

No way, more like six-seven times.

Ah no sweat then. May just pick up Scanners, then a bunch of samurai films next go round.

Ah fuck. Too many that I want to purchase. How often do these flash sales happen? Twice a year?

The Criterion one happens around this time every year. B&N do one in November and June, I think. Amazon and Best Buy randomly have sales too.

 

[JTripper]

Decided to stick with having a fitting horror-themed October and ordered Repulsion, The Innocents and The Uninvited. I also haven't yet watched my copies of Diabolique and Eyes Without A Face.

Next blu-ray I buy will probably be Don't Look Back when that releases around the time of the next B&N sale.

If you need to wait, Barnes & Noble will have a massive 50% off sale that'll probably start late next month.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I caved and got Moonrise and 3:10. $25 for both is kind of crazy to ignore.


Moonrise quite possibly beat out Tenenbaums as my favorite Anderson film. I hope it has the Focus supplement though, I really liked the Bill Murray one.

 

[canoli2006]

I thought The Brood was out this week but it's next Tuesday. I caved and watched it on Hulu. I totally recommend it if you're looking for criterion scary movies.

 

[mattiewheels]

Does that $10 coupon they gave us through Facebook have an expiration date? I'd like to hold off on this sale but if I have to...

 

[IronRinn]

Don't know if it was posted yet, but Battles Without Honor and Humanity: The Complete Collection is down to $109.99 on Amazon.

Whoa, that's a great price. Kinda wish I had waited now. Got it for $100 straight from Arrow, but dat Prime shipping.

Anyone in here have experience ordering stuff directly from Arrow and shipping to the US? How fast it is and whatnot.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

the inserts on the moonrise kingdom disc, you guys

i am in total awe

I haven't seen it in the flesh but yeah it does look like a pretty cool set

Wow, putting the Tenenbaums set to shame. (I got mine, but haven't opened it yet.)

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

There's something else in there ;}

There is? Did I miss it?

 

[Ridley327]

Ahead of today's announcements, Cohen Media Group is the new home of the Merchant Ivory films, likely to start with a new release of Howards End.

 

[omgkitty]

These announcements straight up just not showing up with nothing said by Criterion is starting to get old.

 

[Ridley327]

They're finally up!

(cue Birdie jizzing all over himself)

I've only seen the first Lady Snowblood film, but it was quite a decent little chanbara. It's a pretty poor adaptation of the manga, but I don't think you can adapt that particular manga without being arrested for something.

 

[big ander]

that's a month. Gilda's great, will consider it even if the cover's eh. Inside Llewyn Davis is stacked with features, most excited about the commentary track with Hajdu and Christgau! never heard of Bitter Rice but it looks super interesting.

 

[jlevel13]

I like The American Friend cover a lot - especially compared to the old US DVD cover. Hopefully 2016 will see a lot more of the classic Wenders. I was kind of figuring we'd see the Road Trilogy set first, since those never even came out on DVD in the US.

 

[overcast]

Inside Llewyn Davis is definitely one of my favorite Coen's. Excited to see its getting a hell of a release (great cover too). Haven't seen the others.

 

[Fjordson]

Good month. I'll be in for Lady Snowblood, Gilda and Llewyn Davis.

 

[omgkitty]

This is probably the best January I've ever seen from Criterion. Normally January is a wasteland of random shit.

 

[overcast]

Lady Snowblood cover is gorgeous.

 

[TheKaeptain]

They're finally up!

YES best CC release in years.

 

[killertofu]

Yay, Llewyn!

I always thought the movie was underrated. And the bluray was so sparse.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

There's a good chance I might pick up all of those titles.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

This is probably the best January I've ever seen from Criterion. Normally January is a wasteland of random shit.

January 2014 with Thief, Rififi, and Throne of Blood was pretty god tier.

January 2015 had Sword of Doom and The Palm Beach Story. Pretty solid.

January 2016 is damn good though.

 

[Rur0ni]

Lady Snowblood will be on the radar.

 

[Moppeh]

The Inside Llewyn Davis set looks fucking sweet. Definitely getting it day 1.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Lady Snowblood is a big surprise, the cover is superb.

Never seen the sequel either so I'll definitely pick it up.

 

[Guzim]

Lady Snowblood is a day 1 purchase for me.

 

[hugocésar]

So happy about Llewyn Davis. Getting that and Lady Snow blood, even though I don't especially love the film (only seen the first one), I did remember liking it and adoring the soundtrack.

 

[Chance Hale]

Anyone else have the Arrow Hellraiser set pre-ordered? Looks pretty grand, really excited for the 200 page book.

[Fjordson]

This isn't really a speciality release or anything, but the new Bram Stoker's Dracula blu-ray that just came out is amazing. Has a new 4K remaster that looks unbelievably good and the audio is some new Dolby Atmos track that sounds great.

 

[swoon]

looks like criterion is bundle the hitchcock release and some/but not all of their music docs into some friendly priced sets

would be cool if they did this for the silent comedy sets

Those are some very lazy / awful covers.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

The Hitchcock set they did years ago with The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, Spellbound and Notorious was really great.
I sold my copy of Notorious due to the cropping... regret it now though :'(

pretty sure the rebecca/notorious/spellbound blu-ray set from anchor bay has all the criterion commentaries at least and isn't cropped.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQMGQVY/?tag=neogaf0e-20

bargain at twice the price.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

...the rebecca/notorious/spellbound blu-ray set from anchor bay...

I was completely unaware of this!
Thanks a lot, adding it to cart as I type...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

(cue Birdie jizzing all over himself)

lmao how did i miss this

Did you buy it already? This set often goes for much cheaper on amazon.

Got it for $CDN 8 and it's $CDN 10.99 right now , so I guess around $USD 7...

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Did you buy it already?

Whoa!
I had but just cancelled, this one comes in at about £5.50 before shipping, with no chance of customs.
Bargain of the year, cheers

Got my copy of Mulholland Dr. in. Nice, solid packaging.

Mine's waiting in the Amazon Locker near my apartment. So happy.

 

[Ridley327]

According to some tweets from people in the know, it seems like Criterion got their hands on most of Almodovar's films in a deal with Sony Pictures Classics. I wonder if they're going to do a big box set for them, like SPC did back in the day.

 

[hugocésar]

Holy shit I would be so fucking happy for an Almodóvar collection. I adore his films.

 

[Steamlord]

Just got my copy of Kwaidan. Still waiting on Mulholland Dr.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Dunno if this is the right place, but I'm seeing Eureka & Arrow releases up, so:
