Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

A Touch of Zen is out until the 19th (I think), so some of us have no choice but to wait.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

If some of the titles I want are sold out, I can always find others. My Criterion wishlist is yuuuuuuge.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Same here - knocked out 27 titles today!

-eek-:jawdrop:
Good grief! That's a lot of shelf space :D

Very happy that after the 40%+30% sale last month, my buy list is down to three titles for this sale. And since New World doesn't come out till the end of the month, I may just push that one off till the next sale. Since I still have a $20 GC left from the promo in Nov., even if don't get the use of any coupons, that's only $20 more out of pocket and I'm done. That's gonna be a good feeling for a change.

It's a pleasure to let you guys spend all the money this time :)

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

I think I'm just going to get the Road Trilogy and call it a sale. When does it end? I'd get The New World but the coupons don't work on pre-orders.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

BNTROPICAL worked on everything. I even had three preorders.

Dr. Strangelove
Fantastic Planet
F for Fake
A Touch of Zen
The New World
The In-Laws
Carnival of Souls
A Brighter Summer Day
The Complete Lady Snowblood (I watched 5 minutes of this on Hulu today and knew I had to buy it)
Night of the Hunter
Blue is the Warmest Color (is a version with extras EVER coming?)
In Cold Blood

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

BNTROPICAL worked like a charm.

12 Angry Men
Blue is the Warmest Color
Y Tu Mama Tambien
A Brighter Summer Day
In the Mood for Love
Solaris

I haven't logged on to dvdtalk for years but this sale finally brought me back. Great to see the community is still going strong!

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

What is BNTROPICAL supposed to be good for? I keep trying it and this is all I get: Item(s) in your bag are not eligible for this promotion.

Tried it first with a single item, when that wouldn't work I tried adding another item, still wouldn't work...multiple times.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Did your items total over $60. Just tested it now on seven Criterions (including one out of stock) and it works fine.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

No it didn't. hariseldon was saying it worked on a single item, didn't think that single item would be $60. My bad, sorry for posting stupidity.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

I couldn't be patient enough to wait for BNSPARKLER. Plus I didn't really have over $100 in immediate Criterion "wants." I used the BNTROPICAL code with success at around 12:10am EDT last night.

Barcelona
Dr. Strangelove
Band of Outsiders (upgrade of one of my favorite films)
Red Shoes
Tax: $3.84
Discount: -$15.99
Total Price: $67.81
...and I had a $10 gift card on my account that I forgot!

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

To make it simple and clear, it seems that BNTROPICAL will only work if you first add $60 or more worth of eligible In Stock items. Once you have $60 or more of in stock items, you can then add pre-orders sand other items to the cart to take advantage of the deal.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Didn't you forget the Rosetta Stone Japanese ?

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Wow... I find it amazing how people can drop $1,000 on just one sale.

Some good titles in that bunch.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

I went on a Lego spree, so I'm unfortunately out for this sale.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

There's also November and my birthday - stage 2! No worries - I won't be as nutty as I was this go-around!

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

I picked up 41 titles during the last sale. I'm not sure what I was more excited about, the blu's I bought or the fact that I managed to stack like 5 different ways of savings. 50%, 10%, $5 off coupon on each purchase of $50, free $10 dollar gift card for every purchase of a $75 gift card and 3 % back on my credit card. If only I could have gotten out of state no tax credit!

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

I wanna see. Post it in the Lego thread in otter.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Well, I pretty much only buy movies on a good sale these days, owing to my backlog, and for the B&N sale each year I've never spent more than $100. As a result I had fallen woefully behind on a lot of Criterion films I wanted (or the few I was looking to replace on Blu-ray), and I am celebrating a milestone of sorts this month (end of maintenance payments to my ex), so... I decided to just go for it. :-)

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Aw, man, Dr. Strangelove is OOS! Won't let me backorder it, either. Oh well, hopefully they get more in before the end of the sale.

Ordered:
Manchurian Candidate
Ikiru
Spy Who Came In From The Cold
Only Angels Have Wings

Will order:
Dr. Strangelove
New World

BNTROPICAL worked for the first order. Very happy with that.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

I was just about to ask about that...I thought from what I'd read previously that ordering OOS titles could be done...but I couldn't check out with "Strangelove" still in the cart. (With no error message. This website is really lacking.)

Thanks for all the posts and info, which enabled me to order a basket o' happy.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

anyone seen 'Clouds of Sils Maria' and recommend it as a blind buy ? TIA

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

In response to the other thread (no need to keep two going):

I'm not sure where to find which titles are not on Hulu...

Regardless, I've been looking at:

Wim Wenders' Road Trilogy (the first film of which is on Hulu)
The Complete Lady Snowblood (is on Hulu)
A Poem is a Naked Person (not on Hulu and can't find much information anywhere)
A Brighter Summer Day (not on Hulu)

Thoughts on these? Any other favorites that might not be on my radar?

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
 

Fantastic deal. I'm sure members can squeeze it even lower, but surely $14.99 each is an all-time low for non-members? Regardless, I grabbed eight:

TOUCH OF ZEN
CARNIVAL OF SOULS
MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
DR. STRANGELOVE
ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS
IN A LONELY PLACE
IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT
FANTASTIC PLANET
