I don't do it, but some people like to put the Criterion titles together, even if the other distributors' titles aren't.

I store mine by studio and then have a shelf for television

Me too

I'm really looking forward to The 400 Blows Tuesday... hope Amazon gets it to me on time.

Just wanted to point out that the blu-ray of "Ran" is no longer up on Criterion's site in the Coming Soon section.

Received The 400 Blows and The Last Metro today, hope to check out the former tonight.

Are these the same types of cases as their previous releases?

Yes, they are. I saw them in Newbury Comics today.

Did they move it to a New Release section? I don't know.

I don't see how they could delay it/cancel it. I'm really looking forward to it's release. Maybe they removed it's listing until they sort out all the bonus features inclusion issues.

"Benjamin Button" is now up at Criterion's website! I still don't have enough posts to put in the URL properly.

Yep, site confirms coverart is the same as the DVD (as expected.)

I don't think they said it enough times.

^ you forgot it's

"Academy Award®”

Commentary!

Considering they didn't even mention The Last Emperor winning Best Picture on the front or back of the BD packaging, it's surprising that they're mentioning "Academy Awards" so much for Benjamin Button. Then again, it's a newer release, and it's probably studio influence.

$19.99 at Tower right now.

Ah well, mine already shipped. Either way, great deal.

And to think I passed on the SD for $11.70 from WHBH in anticipation of getting this!

Ouch. That sucks for fans that wanted it.

Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!

daaaaamn

Damn. So what will be Kurosawa's actual first Criterion BD...

While we're on the subject of Kurosawa, should i buy the SD version of Seven Samurai or hold out for a possible Blu-ray release that may or may not come?
