For me, December has often been a pretty ho-hum month for Criterion. Not this year!

I still have my review screener of the aborted Sony Blu-ray. What a clusterfrack that was, even worse than the Fox disc.

Thanks for the warning! I thought they usually had an announcement/sent out an email when that happened.

I know they did when a bunch of the Studio Canal titles all went OOP together, but I know some titles go OOP quietly, too. Pygmalion is one I know that went quietly OOP some time ago (although they've said that they will eventually revisit it).

At least I have this thread to keep me up-to-date. I've said I'd try to avoid another Third Man/Man Who Fell situation and get them as they go OOP, although I have a feeling this one might be more of a Pierrot Le Fou.

Too bad it doesn't work on pre-orders - I'd probably order 9 or 10 things if it did.

As it is, I'll probably get Rosetta, Le Havre, and one or two others.

dino88 09-24-12 11:59 AM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
It doesn't release until tomorrow, but the code is already working on Eating Raoul.

I just placed an order for Down By Law, Eating Raoul, and The Game. Total = $59.91

This is my first time placing an order on Criterion's site. What kind of wait should I expect with their stand shipping?

It works on titles coming out tomorrow, and maybe those in the next batch as well.

Not exactly sure but I think the delivery is supposed to be a speedy one. I know they overcharge like crazy to ship to Canada so I think I'll have to pass this time around.

ETA: It seems they have fixed their Canadian shipping, I think the base price was $20 back in February

It's $7.95 now.

For anyone else who did the Carlos replacement and didn't get their $10 gift certificate: I emailed Mulvaney this morning and let him know that I received my replacement disc but no gift cert and got a prompt reply from him about being backed up but they would email it to me. Less than an hour later and I got the email so I was able to use the $10 off cert with this sale.

Same here. I knew I wanted 2, couldn't figure out the 3rd to get free shipping, and missed out.

Oh well.

I went with Eating Raoul, La Promesse and Tiny Furniture.

I was never a big fan of The Game, although I'm considering revisiting it. If I enjoy it enough, I'm sure I won't have a problem waiting for a B&N sale...

I emailed Jon 2-3 weeks ago because the replacement disc for Carlos that was mailed on August 15th never turned up. I never heard back. Following your post I emailed him again just to let him know that I had placed an order during the sale so a new replacement disc could be placed in it, and I haven't heard back either.

Hopefully it just turns up with my order.

Yeah, normally he never replies to my emails either. I guess I just got lucky yesterday.

I just find it odd because the very first time I wrote him, I got a response in a matter of hours. On Thanksgiving night, no less...

Yeah, it's looks like it should get here quick enough. My order already shipped.

Pretty bummed I didn't get e-mailed saying I was the first 10 to order the Harold and Maude, I was sitting on Facebook when they posted it, ordered my copy immediately, all within a minute and nothing; except an extra copy of Harold and Maude and a $5.90 shipping cost. Yikes.

If it were Badlands, I would explode. The two titles I've been waiting for the longest were Badlands and Weekend, we got Weekend, still waiting on Badlands.

I think you got it. I thought Badlands was already announced though? Or was that just a rumor?

Kit also keeps his cigarette pack rolled up in his sleeve. I'm sure it's Badlands. One of my all-time favorites, so I'm pleased to finally get confirmation.

If it is indeed Badlands, that will give us Rosemarry's Baby, Weekend and Badlands all in a short period of time, three of my all time favorites. Very happy right now.

Boy, let's hope this is it. It would be nice if Warner would loosen up their vault a little more, and allow titles they have no desire to release on BD to be licensed to others.
