Will take all those, but might wait to see how Le Cercle Rouge compares with the SC release that I already have.

Glad I didnt pick up Sweetie on dvd in the last B&N sale.

When would the next Barnes and Noble sale be if it does happen? I'm guessing around April or May or am I off. Boatloads of titles to pick up.

^ Agree with the above estimate. Having the two sales in July & Nov. spoils us in the fall, but it makes for a long, hard winter.

Well, if the sale is in July then I will likely grab one or two titles upon release, Kes for sure, and then make my list for July.

Does anyone have a cardboard case for The Third Man that they no longer need? I would be willing to pay a little for shipping and packing

I'm pretty sure the cardboard version is extra-rare. The disc itself is rare and OOP, and I thought the cardboard version was even rarer.

Just a heads-up, mccarver listed the Chungking Express BD in his OOP thread, & Amazon doesn't have it in stock.

Looks like I will be picking up Chungking ASAP. Hopefully it stays in stock at dvdempire until I get paid.


Im not sure if anyone cares but there is a really cool guy over at blu-ray.com that is making some custom criterion covers for me for some of the Criterion DVDs that never made it to blu-ray via CC but did with other companies. I wanna have a complete Criterion Blu-Ray collection

Sorry if the image is too big

IDK if it is or not but someone from blu-ray.com is sending me one for free because he had it laying around.

^ I would have omitted that 'R' and put in 'unrated' since it's the latter that's only included on the Criterion DVD edition, Robocop seriousily needs a director's approved remastered hidef transfer.

For future reference, if you think an image might be too large, then just put spoiler tags around it.

Neither does Barnes & Noble or any other place on the internet.

Some on criterion forum think that with Chungking they are going to repress it with new upc code in a plastic case instead of digipack. They say the DVD is not listed as oop. They say the same thing is going on with leopard DVD and the Bd is still available. This is a gamble whether it is oop. And criterion shows at least 250 chungking BD in stock and they usually have real time inventory.

They did redo Bottle Rocket in a plastic case, which bugs me because I'd much rather have that than the digipak.

Are the only ones that were released to stores in digipacks? I prefer the plastic case anyway and would love if they repressed it.
