Echos Myron

I got these 8 Criterions in the mail on Tuesday:

Picnic at Hanging Rock (haunting and effective)
Judex (great fun, but not as good as Eyes Without a Face)
The Great Beauty (next on my watch list, probably later tonight)
King of the Hill
L'Eclisse
Il Sorpasso
A Brief History of Time
A Hard Day's Night (and I'm not even a Beatles fan or enthusiast; great packaging goes a long way)

Still waiting on:

Scanners (again, the packaging is what sold me on this one)
Insomnia
The Essential Jacques Demy

And for once, none of my digipacks were crushed. Also, unlike last year, I didn't have to wait 5 weeks for some of my Blu-rays, and my order arrived in one installment instead of 9-10 different boxes. That's some improvement on the part of B&N.

I kind of hate to ask...but I guess I will anyway- if you do have an extra 15% I would very much appreciate it- Thanks!

To work it in store would mean going back to the 'problem' location as they are the only ones with it in stock. I'm hoping the I can just breeze into my regular B&N to pick up the Demy solo, as they haven't batted an eye with any coupons there this sale- and I haven't used the $8 one there...yet.

I went to a couple of B&N's hoping for somebody to break street date on Insomnia but no such luck so I could use my coupon (and not have to pull off a free shipping add-on). Oh well, I'll be back on Tuesday to pick it up and then I'll be done with this sale.

laidbacklarkin

on a somewhat related note, my used copy of 'Le Beau Serge' BD from a 30% off goHastings sale arrived today - in the bubble envelope was a brand new disc complete with the Barnes and Noble pricing sticker with the magnetic security :-)....someone must have sent it straight off to GH...even the blue BD sticker is still on it

TAC

Thanks to coupons sent to me by the generous hariseldon. I was able to pick up the Zatoichi box set, Picnic at hanging rock, walkabout and Naked. All our blind buys except for Naked. Really interested in picking up Insomnia this week, possibly one other title. But thats pretty much it for me.

dead_precedence

Can't wait to pick up the Demy Set and Insomnia this morning. Will also get Riot in Cell Block 11 and A Brief History of Time and I will have almost all 300+ CC blu rays. I hope the sale extends to when The Big Chill releases. Fingers crossed.

Was there bright and early as soon as the doors opened to pick up the Demy set.
Took a leap of faith last year when I sold off my DVD of Umbrellas and it paid off today. $52.36 out the door with the $8 coupon. When I called up last night to reserve it, it sounded like they only had the one copy left unspoken for. Got skunked last week with Scanners and was hell bent on it not happening with this.

And with that, this sale is done for me. I would say this is easily the most I've ever- and will ever- indulge in one of these fiestas.

Final haul:

Essential Jacques Demy
John Cassevettes Collection
3 Films by Roberto Rosselinni and Ingrid Bergman
Things to Come
Purple Noon
The Phantom Carriage
Wild Strawberries
Hearts & Minds
Autumn Sonata
King Of The Hill
Ace In The Hole
Red River
L'Eclisse
Persona
Judex
Jubal
Hard Days Night
Scanners
Pierre Etaix
Safety Last
Blue Is The Warmest Color
Picnic At Hanging Rock
Pickpocket
Hidden Fortress
World On A Wire

Why So Blu?

That's a wrap for me and this CC sale. If I keep at it there won't be any money left for the Herzog sets from Shout and BFI!

Stopped by my local store for the first time since this sale started. Sadly, most of the stuff that was on my wishlist was out of stock or damaged (from shipment to the store).

I did pick up Knife In The Water (DVD) and Scanners (BD), which were pretty high on my wishlist. I might go back over the weekend or Monday assuming anything new comes in before the end of the sale.

Giles

I'm thinking it calling it done with this mornings purchase of the Demy box set.
