Criterion Collection Thread

Lawd.

Lone Wolf and Cub is an instant buy for me. Also, bit of trivia, one of the films in that collection is referenced by name by the bride at the end of kill bill2, the film her daughter asks to see before going to bed.

Already on preorder on my end. Hnnnngh.

I preordered the Lone Wolf and Cub Collection Tuesday. Amazon had a momentary system error Tuesday and the price was only $39.99 for the entire collection. I managed to get it preordered before the price went back up to $99.99. They dont always honor system error prices, but Ive got my fingers crossed. If they dont honor the price Ill be picking it up during Barnes and Noble's November 50% off sale.

Criterion always manages to have a sale when I'm at my most broke. I really want to pick up a few more Kurosawa blu rays.

Gonna wait off for Boyhood on Barnes and Noble. Anyone know when that November sale usually is?

Might be an odd question, might not. Unsure if any will have the answer. BUT, does the sale start in the morning or at midnight?

I'm thinking about getting Lone Wolf and Cub. Does anyone know when the next 50% off sale is?

I just picked up my first criterion discs (criterion had a flash sale). Very overpriced, but I cannot deny the quality (also a lot of these movies would never be remastered).

I got Godzilla and two Kurosawa flicks.

Barnes and Noble 50% off criterion sales are always the months of July and November.

Criterion.com has 24 hour flash sales. You can register for free on criterion.com and they will email you when there is a flash sale.
