There's always the chance the arrow version is region free too right? I just bough Bay of Blood and The Beyond and I those were UK titles but luckily were region free.

Good stuff.
Sadly, I think I'm done with movie purchases for the year. Arrow's Dekalog and Grindhouse Releasing's I Drink Your Blood are it til 2017. A B&N Criterion sale might change my mind if it happens soon, but I doubt it.

One of his best too. A must buy.
Man, can you imagine a Criterion Thing From Another World? Still doesn't have a US Blu Ray release as far as I know.
I'd say the best you could hope for is that the "top menu trick" (which bypasses region check on some blu ray players) works with it, it is very likely region B locked.
But never say never!

Gonna be home on lunch break in like 20 mins. Gonna get a ton of stuff since I passed on the last couple B&N sales.
I'm ashamed about how much money I'm about to spend.

holy fuck
There was a point where I would just buy new releases, but then realized the wait for each sale wasn't that long so I started saving $20 whenever a new title came out I wanted so I would have the money the time a sale rolled around, so I was actually prepared this time. Still though, spending that much money at once on blu-rays is....a shock.

Hey man, as long as you got the $ go for it. No matter how much I buy my wish list never seems to shrink!
Yep. I've mostly gotten to the point where I only need to buy the new releases, but every time there seems to be a few I skipped before that I have changed my mind on and want to pick up.

I'm gonna be buying more next month too lmao
Yeah I need to pick up that new Taschen book for Disney. Thankfully I think I'll get it for Christmas.

Aaaand I just hit my $50 gift certificate after my sale purchase. Nice.
I think I'm going to save it for PDL though.

Wound up with Boyhood, Pan's Labyrinth, Blood Simple and the recent Welles films. I did manage to get a $50 GC out of that order, though, so that will be nice to have for a rainy day in February. Or snowy day, or whatever damn weather that day they're holding that flash sale.

I'm still not even half way to earning the $50 gift card. It'll be another 4 flash sales if I keep buying at the rate I do.
I need to get Love Streams still. It's not in the Box Set.
We need a good Blu of Gloria too.
that pan's labyrinth is sooooo pretty.
I think I'm doing Yi Yi and Godzilla myself.
Unless someone wants to talk me into swapping Godzilla with The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp at the last minute?!

It's coming out the 22nd of November, so it should be availabe for the BN sale.

Do you have it? I'm really excited to get mine, it looks gorgeous
Yeah, came in today. Was too impatient to cancel the Amazon order and re-order with Criterion. It is a super impressive package.
Who'd you buy it from? If it was Amazon, you can send it back and they'll replace it.

So, so, so many movies I want to buy, but I'm gonna sit this one out.
Have fun overspending and feeling terrible!

Look, I can either invest my money and put some aside into a 401k and prepare for future retirement or I can buy all the Altman movies.

Yeah not sure about that. I know on normal releases, Criterion is pretty accommodating with replacement cases / discs / art, but this is definitely much more involved. I would check with B&N first and tell them the box is messed up.
Good thing I didn't do the Criterion Sale because I was in the rotation this go-around for two 20% B&N Coupons in the mail today. So when that comes around in November I'll be getting 80% off a couple of Box sets. Going for Tati and Zatoichi (pending in-store stock, of course).
Kino Lorber is doing another Kickstarter, this time for Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers.
It looks quite interesting and their Pioneers of African-American Cinema turned out well so this might be of interest.

What are some essentials to watch on Hulu before Criterion goes away? Among others, I have Hard Day's Night and the rest of the Eric Rohmer films in queue.
Curious about Belle Du Jour, but I have mixed feelings about Luis Bunuel.
I've seen everything Jarmusch did, and he's 50/50(love Stranger Than Paradise, Permanent Vacation lost me).
