Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully B&N will unclinch their sphincter and release those beautiful $5 off of $20 coupons.:fc:

Sounds good. I'm in for The Thin Red Line, The Magician, Night of the Hunter and Black Orpheus on Blu-ray. Hopefully the sale will still be active when the BBS Story is released on 11/23.

Excellent. I was unaware of a new batch(I knew the last batch expired on 9/26). Thanks.

Dan 10-05-10 01:38 PM

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
There are so many that I want...
I'll probably pick up all the Kurosawa's that I don't already own on Blu-ray, Darjeeling, Hunger, and a couple more.
This is going to get expensive... but I passed on the deal last time, and regretted it.

Unless B&N decides to discontinue the $5 coupons in the future another one should show up around the end of the month of October.

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
Definitely in for(all Blu-ray)-


Magician
Seven Samurai
Charade

This comes from a member at Horror Digital who supposedly works at Barnes & Noble.

Hmmm....other B&N employees on mubi.com have posted November 16th.

I'm always suspicious about online reports but got excited when I saw the Horror Digital posting. Either way (9th or 16th) I figured it was due for someone to post a "When's the November sale?" thread.

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
Awesome! Thanks OP!

Looking forward to picking up all the stuff I missed the first time around.

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
I remember it being late last year, as I was at my parents' house for Thanksgiving that week, and kept hittin' the Westport B&N hard.

Anyway, I'm in for Darjeeling, TRL, Seven Samurai, and maybe Cronos if this baby gets stretched out long enough.

It started on Tuesday the 10th last year so the 9th does make sense.

I wonder if this means I'll finally get my backordered Criterion title - The Lower Depths - from the last sale?

The Valeyard 10-06-10 05:19 AM

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
Time to work on my list. I know Modern Times will definitely be on it.

My short list is:

Charade
The Thin Red Line
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
Paths of glory

Possible:
Darjeeling Limited
Woman Under the Influence
Wild Strawberries
Virgin Spring
Under the Volcano
This Sporting Life
Solaris
Seventh Seal

If released on blu-ray

I'm reasonably sure this won't be released on Blu-Ray before November -screwy-

Cocophone 10-07-10 05:25 PM

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
Looks like the Ice Storm was possibly released on Blu-ray in France by Studio Canal

Al_Tahoe 10-08-10 05:26 AM

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
Definite:

Black Orpheus (gift for sister-in-law)
Night of the Hunter

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
Damn....November is gonna be expensive.

I plan to focus on the rest of the remaining DVD & Blu-Ray box sets I don't have. Then, I'll move on the focusing on Blu-Rays and early release DVDs.

If I can keep this under $350, I'll be happy.

While the suggestive titles are interesting, I would like to see verification that B & N will have a November sale and, further, the details, sush as pricing and coupon usage. At the current Mystery sale the on-line offer is a 50% discount, but in store it's 40%.

what the hell are you talking about?

Cocophone 10-08-10 01:03 PM

Re: November Criterion Sale
 
I don't think you are going to get that verification from B&N.

This forum thread is all about idle speculation about a "probable" sale at Barnes and Noble based solely on past history of Barnes and Nobles sales.

I do agree with you that I hope that Barnes and Noble clarifies its coupon usage policies before the next sale.

Most likely we won't know anything until the sale starts about the coupons. I would at least expect them to have the same policies as the last sale. Probably no coupons will be allowed again online. The big question is will B&N extend the coupon restriction at stores this time.
