Damn that Lone Wolf and Club cover
I also love The Squid and the Whale's as its an excellent visual representation of the alienation/isolation of the family members from each other.

Really don't like that Punch Drunk Love cover...
Everything else looks great

Yeah this pretty much is my sentiment as well.
It's normally $100, but Criterion always does a 20% discount on pre-orders. Since this will be out the same month as the next B&N sale, I would personally wait until then to get it down to $50.

The Dreams booklet sounds nice.
The whole disc is pretty insane when it comes to extras, especially with that monster on-set documentary of the film from the director of House. I know the film is considered lesser Kurosawa by most, but Criterion really came through on offering up some valuable context to surround it.
Even if it does mean having to suffer Iñárritu.
Ah yeah, nice. Will be a no-brainer for me at $50.
edit: Is there anywhere I can get Criterion covers in high res? Would love a big version of that Lone Wolf & Cub cover.

Got in there with the quickness yesssss. Hopefully they don't correct it like a buncha jerks.
Also, good November for Criterion. They've been killing it all year, and my wishlist has grown significantly with every passing month, even after the B&N sale.
I wouldn't be surprised if they pull the "this item has disappeared from our system so we have to cancel your order" crap.

Nice, good looking out. I'm sure they'll do me just like they did with that Chungking Express bullshit
Hey we know they're actually selling this one.
Fancy Clown

That's true. And they did honor their pricing mistake when I ordered Uncharted 4 when it was like $35 over a year before release, so that gives me hope. It seems too good to be true though!

Hot damn at Lone Wolf.
Never expected Punch Drunk Love on Criterion...
Magnolia when?

That makes two of us, I've never seen the movies, just the manga.
Too criminal to turn down.
Heh, I saw it as a budget DVD at Kmart once. That was probably the transfer.

What was the price error?

It's $40 instead of $99

Holy shit!
This, Ambersons and Chelsea Girls have been my most wanted releases forever
Release of the year hands-down for me.
Technically, its $80 USD on the Criterion website.

Yeah, they offer %20 off preorders I think

It's the moment where she says "Here we go" isn't it?
Did it make you cry too like me the moment you saw it and that's why you don't like it?
I understand that.
Still showing this price so I went for it.

Nahhhh it's just a bad image for a cover, and I don't think it captures the tone of the movie at all. The previous posters were both much better.

"Blue is the Warmest Color" seems like a great movie!

It is.
Even though I know they'll probably just end up canceling, it's weird Amazon hasn't fixed that price error on Lone Wolf. Guess I'll put in the order, if it cancels fine, I'll just pick it up on the next sale anyways.
Even more odd they haven't changed it considering it's #1 on the Blu Ray charts on their own site.

It's fixed now, $99.99.
It is, but it can get pretty depressing. The ending is really harsh.
Even more than the book's.

Still shows that I have it for $39.99.
Same here. Amazon is pretty good about honoring pricing errors if you order early enough.

Watched Mulholland Drive.
I... wow.
That's one emotionally draining nightmare of a film.

For some reason my Lone Wolf and Cub order didn't go through. Not sure why. Maybe I forgot to confirm or something.
Ah well, I'll still get it later during a sale or something. In no rush. I'm backlogged as hell on Criterions to begin with. Picked up Rififi this past weekend with some store credit I had.

That awesome song in spanish was "Crying" by Roy Orbison if you didn't pick up on it. Top class Lynch, top class film making.
Now you too know what lurks in nightmares behind the restaurant.

What I love about that sequence is that somehow your brain thinks/remembers that the thing is IN the alley so when the camera dollies forward, you're still okay because the camera hasn't cut to the alley or turned the corner AND THEN ITS FUCKING HEAD POPS OUT AND YOU'RE LIKE "BRAIN. I FUCKING TRUSTED YOU. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK."

Shout's The Thing blu got delayed to October 11 because the 4.1 audio track has a sync issue. In good news though, there's a review out for it that says the release is otherwise excellent!

One of my absolute favorite / absolute not favorite parts of all film stuff for sure, I can still picture the face. The conversation that precedes it is ace too.

So are the Lone Wolf and Cub movies good? I jumped on it because it's a criterion samurai box set with dope art for $40...but I actually don't know anything about the movies other than that GZA samples one of them on Liquid Swords, and that they're pretty violent.
