I used to watch this movie all the time b/c I thought it was hysterical w/ a young Kate Beckinsale playing an ice queen and I don't know what it is about Chloe Sevigny that does it for me. Plus, the ensemble is hysterical with Chris Eigeman is friggin' hysterical. I was interning at MIRAMAX at the same time this movie was being worked on and had to work on the dailies for 54 which was total trash. Anyway, does anyone know where the cheapest price for THE CRITERION COLLECTION of THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO is when it is released tomorrow? DeepDiscount has it for $26.89 (free shipping), Best Buy has it for $34.99. I guess I was wondering if any of this weeks BARNES & NOBLE or BORDERS Coupons would bring the price below $26.89. Thanks in advance!

Why on earth isn't Criterion releasing this on Blu Ray as well? I can't see my self spending 35 bucks on an SD DVD as much as I'd like to own the movie.

I just checked bn.com and they have it for $28.79 (member price). Using coupon code M3A3M4P knocks off $5 and makes the total to $23.79 (minus tax). This qualifies for free standard shipping as well.

Is it free now to become a Barnes & Noble Rewards Member (or whatever their program is called). I just signed up but didn't get an email with a Membership #. However, the disc went into the cart as $27.99 and I hadn't used the $5 off code yet. Do they do in-store pickup? Does it take a while to get your membership number?

It still costs $25 per year to be a B&N member.

The price must have dropped some because I just ordered from bn.com using your coupon code and the order total came out to $21.00 even.

during the deep discount sale, there was a price glitch and it was 20.00 for preorder. i didnt make a move then and im regretting it now. great movie.

Yea. I ordered it with the deep discount glitch. 20 bucks.

After the last B&N sale its going to be hard to spend more than $18.00 for a Criterion.

Fixed.

They might not have the rights to release it on Blu.

I used my Dad's B&N Membership Card + code and got it for $21.60 so I'm happy. Should be here by the end of the week.

No kiddin', huh?

I went hog wild on that sale, and snagged a whole bench 'o titles, but was disappointed that Disco and Kagemusha were coming out just after the sale ended.

I did pick up Metropolitan, and want to get Disco, but at $20+ for an SD title, there was no whay.

I feel the same way. Hopefully, there'll be another DDD sale in November or December.

Can I just say "AAUUUGGHH!" because I didn't put my like-new copy of the out-of-print version of Last Days of Disco on eBay a few months ago?

You would have made out like a bandit a few months ago; I saw some used SD Regular Editions from '98 or '99 going for over $100! That cover art/one-sheet poster is still better than the Criterion art...

Really? I actually love the Criterion cover art.

I like the cover art of the Criterion (which comes from the book).

I just punked myself. The other day, I was in a store in which the Criterion DVDs of The Last Days of Disco were on the shelf, and they were "playing" it on the tv. But it wasn't Last Days of Disco they were playing, it was either Barcelona or Metropolitan. So I bought the wrong movie.

Does anyone know this scene in which one of the characters is talking about "living or moving to Prague" but that character didn't actually visit the place yet? It was a funny scene. Is this from Barcelona or Metropolitan?

That sounds like Noah Baumbach’s "Kicking And Screaming," which has a conversation about Prague toward the beginning of the movie after the characters have just graduated from college... not "Barcelona" or "Metropolitan."

CC

Agree. Sounds like Olivia D'Abo's character. Easy to confuse K&S with a Whit Stillman movie. It has that same familiar tone, and Christopher Eigeman is in it.

shit..way off! All because of Chris Eugeman. I even thought that I would accidently buy Barcelona and Metropolitan until I find that scene...maybe that is why I was chuckling more too - Kicking and Screaming is funnier than Stillman films, right? Thanks guys, I can't believe myself...I'm gonna buy Kicking & Screaming now - I saw it a long time ago, but from the recent clips that I watched in the store, it seems like a funnier Stillman film...

Wow, already received this today. Bn.com doesn't play around when it comes to shipping.

Eeeeeh, I don't know if it's funnier, it's just maybe not as dry as a Stillman film.

You can't go wrong buying K&S or any of the Stillman films you mentioned. Metro, Disco, Barcelona are all great, although I think Barcelona is OOP, and used copies are terribly expensive right now. I do expect Criterion to issue it some day to have the whole Stillman "Trilogy" out on a CC release.

"Oh, I've been to Prague" I love that movie. I remember those lines when I visited Prague for the first time a few weeks ago.
