The Young Girls of Rochefort was delightful.

His Girl Friday, I'm mixed on. Loved some of the dialogue, not sure how I felt about the ending. But it was 1940s Hollywood, par for the course.

Damn, the 20% off coupon doesn't work online.

Might still give it a shot in store tomorrow. Either doing Del toro trilogy or just Blood Simple. Most likely the latter and grabbing Punch Drunk Love (or squid and the whale) later this month.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Kinda tempted to pull the trigger on the zatoichi box at B&N...idk tho that might be samurai overkill with Lone Wolf and Cub getting here on tuesday....

Nice. Wonder how many Hulu Criterions I can get through before the 11th...

It didn't work for me, if you got the same one I did. :|

 

[Fancy Clown]

My 20% off coupons wouldn't apply to the criterions but luckily the cashier punched in the codes, so I pulled the trigger on zatoichi since Ill never get it for cheaper. Also got mcbabe and mrs miller.

 

[mariachi507]

Got lucky and preordered the Eureka/Zavvi steelbook edition of Fright Night today. It sold out quick.

 

[Guzim]

I bought The New World and Chimes at Midnight today. I can't wait to watch Chimes at Midnight.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Hey guys just want to let you know that Barnes and Noble accepted my 20 percent off coupons in store. I tried earlier and they didn't work, I don't know if they changed their policy or what, but I got a blu for 15 and it feels great.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I forgot I pre-ordered the Lone Wolf and Cub set for cheap a few months back. Was planning on sitting out on Criterions this quarter, but I guess they'll get money from me anyway

 

[Fancy Clown]

Yea my Lone Wolf set just shipped. Between this and the zatoichi box...holy fuuuuck I bought too many samurai movies.

Mine did too. Zatoichi for $70 was too good to pass. Or so I tell myself.

Easily worth $70. It's a great set.

I'm watching their A Night to Remember transfer on Bluray.

My cashier very obnoxiously read the fine print *aloud* before bothering to even try to enter it, and when she came across a clause where it wouldn't apply apologized without even trying.

Tch.

Watched the first one and instantly fell in love with the character, so I think it'll be a good time. Amazing packaging too.

That sucks. I could have sworn the fine print on the mail in coupon didn't mention criterions. It didn't scan though so they definitely aren't supposed to apply. When I worked there we were told explicitly not to punch in the coupon codes to override it, but the guy at my register did thank gawd.

 

[Fjordson]

Shit I totally forgot Lone Wolf & Cub was out tomorrow. Amazon just shipped my set this morning!

Looks like they honored the weird $40 price also lol.

 

[IronRinn]

Super cheap Lone Wolf and Cub set arrived. Yay Amazon pricing errors!

 

[Fjordson]

Damn, Amazon already dropped off my set as well. At work for another 5 hours though =[

 

[overcast]

Yup. No luck on that one the other day. Would have grabbed the Del Toro trilogy with that, but just went for Blood Simple.

Disappointing that they seem to be keeping a closer eye on these coupons during the sales.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Mine shipped!

 

[TheFlow]

not sure on what I want to get

I know I want:

dreams

fantastic mr.fox

pans labyrinth.

that zatoichi box set looks amazing but didn't really care to much for the movies.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

get that fantastic mr fox asap

 

[Fjordson]

Man the Zatoichi packaging is pretty dope. Can't wait to watch these.

And it came with an actual booklet! Not a lame poster with a few paragraphs, but like a proper, surprisingly thick book

edit: wtf...totally meant Lone Wolf & Cub, not Zatoichi. Got my samurais mixed up.

Lone wolf and cub physical box is gorgeous

Ooh.

That is indeed super nice.

How obsessive do you guys get about booklets and inserts? My Lone Wolf and Cub booklet has a big ol' crease in the cover and I'm wondering if I should even bother returning it and getting a replacement.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Nah. As long as it's intact, I'm good. If it's torn, that's a different story.

 

[Fjordson]

If it's intact and readable then I'd personally let it slide. Won't be able to see it when you're displaying it on a shelf either.

Not that I'd blame you for getting a replacement, though. Stuff like that is annoying.

 

[TheFlow]

Ok you guys have sold me on the lone wolf set and zatoichi because it is soo damn pretty.

I went to my local B&N to see what they had instore. All the ones I wanted but "Dreams" was not available :/. gotta order online.


is the Guillermo del Toro box set worth it? all I want is pans, but I never saw the other two

Dreams isn't out until next week.

Fuck no wonder! definitely picking up. That movie is never available for stream.


thoughts on ozu movies and apu.

Good points. Gonna sit with it a bit and may give Amazon a shot and see if it will be a hassle if I find I'm too annoyed by it. Damn OCD.

Yeah. Devil's Backbone is just as good as Pan's, if not better. Cronos is pretty good, nothing great, but all 3 are loaded with amazing special features and the packaging is dope.

Thanks. I am going to spurge

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Whoops.

I forgot about that Lone Wolf and Cub Box Set I pre ordered because of the Amazonk price mix up. Looks like it stayed at $40 and is now on my desk.

Cool?

 

[Puck Beaverton]

I haven't been looking at film news for obvious reasons, but Raoul Cotard passed away

If you care about cinematography, watch his work.

 

[omgkitty]

Shiiiiiiittttttttttt

 

[Mumei]

Shiiiiiiittttttttttt

why am i suddenly more tempted to get this just because of a secret compartment?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Shiiiiiiittttttttttt

Ha that's great. I don't think I would've EVER noticed it. Criterion going above and beyond for no reason. Reminds me of the extras in the recent Strangelove release.

 

[TheFlow]

How many movies in that lone wolf and cub set?

Edit: looks like 6. Are they actually lengthy or more like 45 min episodes

Yep. Incredibly sad, but he lived a long life and did undoubtably important work.

Just bought my first set of criterion films! Will post pics later. Most of them will be first time watches
