Hey, patiently waiting for stuff to come to our home is our ongoing reality. I even have most of my meals delivered. And that requires real patience.

Got The Lady Eve today. War of the Worlds on track for tomorrow. I just remember ordering from BN around 10:30 am on the 10th. Originated in Kentucky to Central Florida if that makes a difference.

No. I think this is just a case where the product was released earlier to the store. I usually don't get shipped releases until AFTER the official release date. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/09/books/barnes-noble-redecorating-virus.html New York Times story on BN. I wish the new owner luck...

I'm pleased The Lady Eve has already been shipped by BN, so likely to get before or by the actual release date. A pleasant surprise. (Not that I watch the calendar that closely these days)

Yes, I'm doubting we're going to see a Criterion sale this summer. I haven't even gotten a coupon in weeks. Bad omen.

Since it wasn't that long a wait. When you think about it, how many discs do we watch the moment we get them? I'll probably view the extras first, and then put the film in a short queue for viewing. But any need to have a disc the day it comes out has passed for this geezer acquiring a new...

A Face in the Crowd for pick up at local BN for me this time. Local Hero in November.

So I go into my local BN store today (November 2) and not one clerk knows anything about the Criterion sale, nor is there any sign in the vacated media department. The only way they even knew there was a sale was when I brought a BD to the cashier and they scanned it and saw the price. BN may...

15% off coupons were accepted for my purchase at the brick and mortar store, no questions asked. I've heard it doesn't work online, but live clerks will plug it in. Got Short Cuts on blu.

A good suspenseful story (based on Fritz Lieber's The Conjure Wife), as much psychological as supernatural, but without giving too much away, the wife's protecting his ass here. Shot in great contrast black & white deliberately in 1962, as well, which really amps up the feel of a feature length...

How about Burn, Witch, Burn? Written by Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson. Not exactly light faire, but a favorite, nonetheless (in the category of wife as a witch).

The Great McGinty is the ultimate hoodlum-to-Governor politician comedy by Preston Sturges, but is sadly still only part of the Sturges DVD Collection. But that's the one I've most shown in my classes as a great, smart, timeless look at power grabs in America. It's kind of like the comedy satire...

Check out "Palm Beach Story" next. The Ale and Quail Hunting Club sequence on the train is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen in film. And in the supplements on the Criterion, you have a couple good extras on Preston Sturges' life and approach to film. I used some of his films when...

So there will be 15% coupon emails this Thursday, November 12 to use in conjunction with the Criterion sale?

I think those codes have been around for a few weeks because I must have used the 20% one prior and it wasn't valid. The 15% code did work but, ironically, it brought the total of my order below free shipping amount $25, then added 3.97 shipping and the total was suddenly more than the original...

Codes didn't work for me. If they've been around awhile, maybe I used them already.

This sale has been extended to August 3 according to the clerk in the store I was just at.

When does this sale end?

And if someone had bought the same Criterion last week or the week before combining 40% off Blu-ray sales with the 15% and 20% coupons (or member discount), you would have had 55% and 60% off the MSRP, respectively. But, then of course, perhaps it would be limited to how many coupons you had. I...

Funny, but that's exactly what I asked for - a printed confirmation of the order with that price. They wouldn't (or didn't know how to) do it.

Question. I believe the sale ends 8/6, and I want Seconds, which, of course, comes out 8/13. Go on the site, it's full price. Go to the store and order for home delivery, again, full price. Go to the store and have them ship to store, and it comes up at half price. But you can't pre-pay. Will...
