Cinephiles and film geeks! Don't miss out on an awesome Criterion event starting tomorrow, 8/16 at 6am. We'll be featuring four 4-hour lightning deals of Criterion favorites, just in time for the new Kubrick release, "The Killing".

Oh boy...do they specify format (DVD/BD)?

Great after I pre-ordered the Killing Blu for $24.99 and it's being delivered tomorrow !

I'm betting they will have a price for both versions.

Obviously The Killing is going to be one of the movies featured in a Lightning Deal, but I wonder which other ones will be included ...

6am in what timezone?

Likely Pacific (DT) as that's where Amazon is.

Refuse delivery and re-order?

The Killing is not on the menu: There are only 4 Criterion titles listed in today's lightning deals:

Charade DVD/Blu-Ray 6am PST/9amEST

Videodrome DVD/Blu-Ray 10am PST/ 1pm EST

The Darjeeling Limited DVD/Blu-ray 2 pm PST/ 5 pm EST

Gimme Shelter DVD/ Blu-ray 6pm PST/ 9pm EST

Maybe Amazon will add titles later on in the day, but that's all they have now.

Well thats a let a down.

Well, they did say 4 4-hour lightning deals. I may try for Charade and Gimme Shelter.

OK, both the DVD and Blu-ray of Charade clock in at $19.99, 50% off list. Meh, call me when November comes.

Went with Charade, since that's the only one I don't own

Got Charade

Well, so much for my assumption. I already have all of these movies. Oh well.
