This is also a great sale to watch out for - because they price their Warehouse marketplace discs at a certain % less than their retail pricing. So as soon as the retail goes down 50%, the warehousedeals prices (and other marketplace sellers that price adjust automatically to Amazon's price) go down a notch - ended up with about 6 titles on the recent Amazon sale for about $16.xx each (some were used but am not a stickler for new)

Did Repo Man online and paired it with a book I've been looking for on the cheap for a few months that had made it to bargain status (YEAHIE!). Saves me a trip to the B&N which is always in the wrong direction from me.

I grabbed Repo Man today as well. Also picked up the last copy of Howard's End in the area.

I snuck an $8 coupon past the goalie and scored Repo Man for $9.99.

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
My membership's expiring today, so rather than driving 20 miles to the store just to have the coupon turned down, I used the $8 coupon online to get Shoah for $44.
I'll probably be picking up Life of Oharu and maybe Babette's Feast later on, but the Amazon sale and the B2G1 took care of most of the titles I was planning to buy during this sale. |
Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
Picked up the stuff I wanted most off my list at my local store.
-Tokyo Drifter (BD) -Branded To Kill (DVD) Going to get the rest in upcoming weeks. No need to get everything at one time. |

got 4 in-store...
Shallow Grave The Thin Red Line Videodrome 12 Angry Men |
Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
Got On the Waterfront in store for $14.49 plus tax with the member discount and the $8 coupon. I may have gotten lucky, but the regular price is indeed more than $40.

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
Have only picked up a couple so far:
Harakiri - Blu-ray 3:10 to Yuma - Blu-ray Might pick up a couple more before the sale is over but there's not much I really want. Maybe Night of the Hunter and a couple of Terrance Malick films. Though I just recorded Night of the Hunter off MGM HD last night so I'm not really in a hurry to grab that now. |

My opinion: It's one of the most beautiful films ever made (not just in terms of photography,) but it's also dramatically lacking. I much prefer Badlands, The Thin Red Line, and The New World since I find the narratives of those films to be much stronger. You should watch it, but it's probably not the best blind buy. |

possibly one of the worst ever movies you can watch - some choices of Criterion are very suspect. I have no idea why this movie is hailed as a great movie, movie tastes are subjective true but there's a limit to viewers' patience if there is no 'stuff' and its a just great collection of photographs of corn fields in the midwest. You can easily choose to exclude this from your collection and not worry one bit.
I'd recommend Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" review of the film for a good overview of why some people like it so much. I also liked Dave Kehr's review of the film (which you can find with a quick Google search,) where he addresses the "pretty but empty" critique. |

Wow, so much hate for Days of Heaven. I don't love it (I do like it quite a bit), but along with Badlands it's easily the most accessible of Malick's films and I can't imagine why anyone would consider it "one of the worst movies you can watch." I get why someone might hate Tree of Life (even though it's probably my favorite), but Days of Heaven is at least worth a rental and looks amazing in HD.
