Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
But beware, the films in the Frampton set are experimental/avant-garde (think along the lines of the Brakhage set, but with more repetition and harsh noises) and a lot of people find them unendurable. I'd strongly suggest watching one of the shorts online before buying.

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
I posted a few more amazon 50% off criterions in the amazon blu thread.
Perhaps the b&n sale extension is an olive branch for no in-store coupons? |
Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
snagged two more last night while picking up my friend from the airport
Jubal Things to Come looking forward in seeing the latter film, since I just watched a documentary that mentioned the film. |

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
Does anyone know why Kenji Mizoguchi's Fallen Women - Eclipse Series 13, is only available from the "marketplace" and not on sale? It's not listed as out of print on the Criterion website?

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
So...here is a milliondollar question since they extended the sale. I really like Pan's Labyrinth but I am kinda indifferent on Cronos (it wasn't bad, but I would not say it was amazing or anything). Is Devil's Backbone going to be a sure thing blind buy, or something more cautionary?

This was the first movie I searched for too. It looks like it's been corrected since you posted.
I picked up: Wild Strawberries Marketa Lazarova Safety Last! Things to Come The Life of Oharu Lord of the Flies Babette's Feast The Ice Storm Shoah ...basically all the stuff I needed to complete my collection. |

Devil's Backbone is definitely a slow burner. I loved it, but admittedly, I'm not sure it has a ton of replay. It's a film that really lingers long after it ends. Gets in your head.

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
Stopped by a store Saturday since I was actually close to one (usually, the closest one is like 40 minutes away, but we were visiting family and were just a couple minutes away). I ended up getting Repo Man, The Blob and Videodrome. I just signed up for a trial membership the other day, so I got 10% off and used the $5 off $50, which brought them to about $16 each before tax. Additionally, I had a $25 gift card I got for signing up for the B&N Mastercard and making a purchase, so my out of pocket was about $27 for all three.

Easy Rider like? Sort of. With bits of Vanishing Point in there for good measure. |
Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
Yeah, you could say that. It's one of those laid-back, on the road type films. I would kind of liken it to Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry as well, although its not as frenetic or dynamic as that movie either. It's a more then solid addition to anyone's library - I already have the SD Criterion version or I'd be picking it up right now.

Re: B&N 50% off Criterion blu-ray sale begins July 9th
while I was over at Potomac Yards this morning, I made the comment that I thought there selection of Criterion titles, was far superior to what Tysons stocked - and she actually had a reason, apparently Alexandria customers and the Potomac Yards store is the highest seller of Criterion and British TV/movies - who knew?
