Glad I held off on Fargo. Hope the price is right for the boxset. These are my favorite Coen Bros flicks.

Re: The Coen Brothers Collection- August 30th

Fox also owns Barton Fink, I wonder why that isn't apart of the collection?

Re: The Coen Brothers Collection- August 30th

I can't wait to get Miller's Crossing in HD and to finally watch Blood Simple (always put off buying the DVD, but will now be sure to grab it on Blu-ray w/in weeks of release). Raising Arizona is a classic as well and I already own Fargo...so looks like I'll be going for 3 separate releases.

It's nice to be on a board that says this instead of "Why the F isn't ______ in this collection?? No sale!!!1!!!!1"

Re: The Coen Brothers Collection- August 30th

It looks like these are going to be individual cases bundled together, which is a huge draw for me. If it was a more traditional box set I'd probably have to pass since I want to get all of their movies on Blu at some point and this would disrupt consistency.

Really like the Blood Simple artwork. Looking forward to Miller's Crossing in HD and finally adding Fargo to my Blu-ray Collection.

Re: The Coen Brothers Collection- August 30th

I'm probably going to keep my DVDs of the other films and just buy the only one I don't have on BD (Raising Arizona)

Yeah, and most of those people probably end up buying the product they bitch about. lol.

As much as I find it odd that Barton Fink is getting shafted right now, I'm definantly going to buy all of these titles.

I've already got Fargo, but if the price is right then grabbing this box over the individuals might make more sense.

Isn't the Raising Arizona R1 DVD a non-anamorphic letterboxed transfer? This BD will likely be a huge jump in quality.

I am disappointed that Barton Fink is not included, and that they didn't use the same art as their DVD set (what the hell is the concept behind that new art?).

Blah. Costco has these 4, plus Barton Fink for $15 on DVD. Only interested in Raising Arizona, but had they actually did a complete collection, I might have been swayed (if the price was right).

When I saw this title, I was really hoping for Fink. bummer. I'll still get the set, though.

In for the set, even though I already have Fargo, which I got for like $5, so I'm not exactly beating myself up over it.

Meh. If they dropped Raising Arizona and added Barton Fink, I'd be in.

I'd rather they drop Fargo as many of us already have it.
