I dunno, I see a lot of grain in those shots. PASS.

Eureka is doing the same for M and City Girl, and those are expected to ship mid-February: http://www.eurekavideo.co.uk/offers/feb_new.html

They're having a sale on other BD releases as well: http://www.eurekavideo.co.uk/offers/BD.html
(Mad Detective for ~$12.50 shipped!)

Thanks for the tip. I went to their page. When you click "buy", they pass you to Paypal, right? Does it mean they only ship to Paypal Address or is there another options? Sorry, first time there, and I need it shipped to a different address (are they shipping now? where can we chose type of shipping?)

Thanks for any help.

I don't think they have a choice of shipping type...they don't charge any extra for shipping, for what it's worth.

This is my third order through them, but I've always had it shipped to my main Paypal address, so I'm not sure about the other questions.

Makes sense...

Custom charges in Brazil are sometimes awful, but perhaps I have to try!

Thanks.

If you want to contact them before placing an order, it looks like [email protected] will do the trick.

Don't think they will know. I think I have to try and see if it gets too expensive. Thanks.

Some people in the UK have already reported getting theirs. I don't know if they're sending them out in batches based on how early you pre-ordered or what, but I wouldn't mind getting my copy next week. I ordered it and The Black Shield of Falworth about a week and half ago, and already got Black Shield on Friday.

My City Girl Blu arrived today.

Also got mine!

I ordered City Girl directly from Eureka. $25 and change isn't bad.

Wow.

Don't get too excited. It'll be Region-B locked. Also Blu-ray only.

I bet a lot of us here have region B-capable players, though, so we can still be excited.

Yes, that includes me!

True. It might also throw this on Criterion's radar for a domestic release.

From the Criterion Forum:

Assuming the Kino release is their typical crapfest, this disc may force me to purchase a region-free Blu-ray player, just as MoC's Nosferatu (vs. the Kino again) motivated me to buy a region-free DVD player in 2006.

DVD Times on City Girl

I'm excited for Metropolis. It'll be nice to get some use out of my Momitsu.

In the meantime, BFI is releasing 3 Ozu films (each with a second film in SD) on Region B Blu-rays in April. Plus The Innocents on 3/22.

I really hope The Innocents is region free. I love that film.

It isn't, unfortunately. That's why I mentioned it in reference to Popcorn's Momitsu.

Thanks for the update on the Mad Detective sale. I'd purchased it before, sold it, and ended up regretting that decision. So this was a perfect opportunity to add the film back into my collection.
