Lucky you! I'm a charter subscriber and I only got a $10 gift certificate, plus another $10 certificate in anticipation of tomorrow's sale--that one for being a Criterion.com shopper.
Shaft in UHD. Fine, after all, it's by the great Gordon Parks.
But what a missed opportunity with The Tales of Hoffmann. A 4K digital restoration released as a BD. Sad, since it's an Archer Production, deserving of the best treatment.

I used to have a Criterion wall arranged by spine number. Alas, that was years ago and now my disc collection has grown to upwards of 19,000 and I can't keep it organized in any way. Discs are stashed wherever there is an available corner in my house. Sometimes my mental file will help me find...
