If your taste is more mainstream, stay away.

One of my favorite movies, but I'd give you the same advice I'd give anyone: get a Netflix subscription instead of spending your money on a movie that me or someone else might recommend you purchase. Per month, it's cheaper than a single blu-ray, and I bet you'll be watching far more movies than you do now, and I suspect ones further outside of your comfort zone.
But if you won't do that, then just go ahead and buy it. Even if you hate it, you'll be supporting one of my favorite filmmakers on my favorite format from my favorite DVD producer. There's no way I can lose! ;) I think I have fairly diverse tastes already so I'm not afraid of something "different". |

It's not that "different". It's probably Wong Kar-Wai's most accessible film.

Cool - thanks for the info all.

Are these going to be region a? (i'm assuming they are)
|
Yes, they'll be Region A and not region free. Which sucks.
|
The Third Man is now down to $25.95 at Amazon. They have already adjusted the price on my existing order.:up:
|
How many copies of these do you think Best Buy will be getting?
|
Probably the same amount they get on DVD, 1, 2 or 0.

Has anyone heard about a delay with the release of Chungking Express? I just got an email from Amazon seeking my approval to keep my order open because of a delay with Chungking Express. Any info would be appreciated.

Fortunately, I already had a couple of them in my cart and was able to apply the 25% coupon. Status was "will ship direct from manufacturer". Wish me luck on this one. |
Yea, I just looked but they ended the promotion earlier today. O well it's only a shirt.

It sucks if this is delayed though. I was really looking forward to getting this as soon as possible. |
These titles were all announced some time ago.
Isn't it a little strange that we haven't seen any announcement from Criterion on their December Blu-ray titles? |
There are no December BRs, unfortunately. "El Norte" has been announced as the single January BR release. www.criterion.com has current info.
