Hopefully that finds a home for an October release. It's pretty cool how Abrams helped put it all together.

Between the insights into Suspiria's resoration and news of Scorcese cleaning up NotLD I want to hug all of you beautiful people.

That JAWS transfer managed to make me feel like I'd never seen the film before and coupled with Apoc Now and Lawrence made me switch to Blus. Fucking god tier film print management.
Hold me. Where will those nine minutes go? The movie is so tight as is. Maybe somewhere in the latter third of the film where things go really haywire for everyone? It was a revelation enough seeing the cleaned up Millenium print, I wonder what this will entail! Ohmygod I'm so excited.

Duuuude. Night of the Living Dead and Suspiria are will both be day zero buys for me. Also is the Dawn of the Dead Bluray OOP? That's one I need to own but I can't seem to find it.
Also gonna echo the love for the Jaws Bluray. They did an amazing job on it. Warms my heart that such an endlessly rewatchable movie has such a pristine way to view it.

Oh, its a classic. A 90 minute parade of perfect lines delivered perfectly.

The upcoming B&N sale is going to be my first and there is a good chance I'll pick up around ten titles. Would it be in my best interest to get a B&N membership beforehand?
^"Get back in there(roll top desk), you Mock turtle!"
Ok cool. I immediately thought of that when I saw it, but didn't actually know the line, so the turtle part confused me.
Free shipping is nothing to sneeze at, that's for sure. You'd also get an additional 10% off in store if you have one close by with a media department.

Sounds like my cup of tea. Might blind buy along with Strangelove. (Of course I've seen Strangelove, but I usually give a new one a shot.)

I've also read that I could get an addition discount by way of coupons, do you know if that's true?

Oh god my favourite Hawks, my favourite comedy, my favourite Grant performance, my favourite... everything.
Truly a great film, I'm loving the recent Hawks love after so many years of being overlooked.

They send coupons every once in a while, usually a couple 15 or 20% off one item coupons that stack with your 10% off membership. So you can get an additional 30% off some of the 50% of criterions.
And they still haven't sent me one. Monsters.

You should call them and see if they have your address right, a lot of times they will put in a typo or something and then no coupons for you.
Well, I've received e-mails since registering about my registration (including the $50 for becoming a member), so I'm guessing that that's probably not it.

They probably just haven't emailed a new batch of member coupons yet. Usually I get a couple 20 or 15% off coupons some time during the criterion sale.
I'm going to hold off on making my order for at least a couple weeks, then, in the hopes that I get a batch.
I talked with a customer representative in person, and they said they'll be mailing out the card again, since a month passed without my receiving one. I don't know what the issue is. Hopefully this gets ironed out.
Also, am I correct in my understanding that the coupons apply to a single item? I could go ahead and make my purchases sooner rather than later if that is the case; I could just make an additional purchase on a particularly expensive item later once I have a coupon.
Yes, the coupons are for a single item, and single use. I usually use my two 20% off coupons in-store with the extra 10% off for membership, and then use non-member 15% with my 10% for the rest of the titles I want to pick up.

Titles are dropping on B&N.com. This code is for 20% off, it can only be used for a single item but seems to be reusable. It expires at 3AM EST tonight.

I don't know why, but I cannot get my membership to apply to the items I have in the cart. There is an option at the bottom before I submit the order to "Apply B&N Membership & Educator Discount", but it already lists my membership number there and it still shows items at 50% off, not 60% off. I also realized that my membership discount didn't apply to a purchase I made last night. This is getting more than little irritating.
So, what gives?

Also, thanks to the people posting coupon numbers!
The 10% members discount only applies to in-store purchases. For online, the benefit is free shipping.

There's more codes coming throughout the month, the catch is that they aren't confirmed to work for movies. Reason being that there was another code that expired last night for 24% off the total amount, didn't work for movies though.
My plan is to go buy a bunch from the nearby store today and leave them unopened while keeping the receipt. If the codes for later in the month work out OK then I'll return the movies and order online. My store only keeps a single copy of each film so I don't want to take any chances.
Pretty much doing pre-orders online this week for the discount then going into a store this upcoming weekend. Unfortunately three pre-orders I was going to grab, Night Train to Munich, Blood Simple and McCabe and Mrs. Miller, seem to not be included in the sale.
Carnival of Souls, Touch of Zen and New World are, though. Not sure why the selectiveness. There's probably a cut-off date, but if anything it'll help me not spend hundreds of dollars.

The only preorder titles that are on sale are the ones that are releasing during the sale.
Nah, that makes too much sense.

Decided to pad out my horror collection a bit more (it didn't really need it, but what can you do?).
The Brood
Videodrome
Naked Lunch
Scanners
The Innocents
Diabolique
House (77)
Repulsion
Rosemary's Baby
Eyes Without a Face
On the Waterfront (Don't Look Now was out of stock so I called an audible. I've been needing to repurchase OtW after an Amazon screw up earlier this year.)
All but the last four are blind buys, and with that I believe I'm set for a while.

Very nice! You'll definitely have some scarring as a result of the Cronenberg films. Even Naked Lunch, which isn't a horror film by any traditional barometer, has some truly horrifying imagery in it.
Thus far, I've ordered Phoenix, Dr. Strangelove, Fantastic Planet and In a Lonely Place for immediate shipping, and put in a separate order for my July must-haves (Carnival of Souls, A Touch of Zen and The New World) for later delivery.

Picked up Strangelove, The Manchurian Candidate, In A Lonely Place, Only Angels Have Wings, and Gilda. Got to use the bonus 10% discount code last night right before it expired, so 60% off. Also pre-ordered The New World and Touch of Zen.
Decent little pickup. I think I'll stop there since I already got the CE Return of The Living Dead and have the Female Prisoner Scorpion set coming in a few weeks too.

Just got Strangelove for today. Gonna wait until the 7th to use that BN online coupon and order The New World and 2 or 3 others.
right now I'm considering:
Cul-De-Sac
Tess
Yi Yi
Paths of Glory
The Devil's Backbone

I thought I posted already but apparently I didn't actually submit the post. Weird. Anyway, I picked up 12 Angry Men and The Devil's Backbone today from the store. I have seen 12 Angry Men before, in some university class, and I have high hopes for The Devil's Backbone.
Thanks!
