Fortunately, I was able to get all the titles that I wanted at my local store. I picked up All That Money Can Buy on Blu-ray and the Blue Velvet, Bound, Peeping Tom and To Die For UHDs. I also pre-ordered Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid on UHD.

I got One False Move today.

I picked up Targets and Thelma And Louise and I pre-ordered After Hours and One False Move.

The DVD/Blu-ray/UHD section just recently shrunk at my local store to one bay of Criterion discs mounted on the wall 'hidden' near the back. I haven't been to the store yet (there's nothing I want until November 22) but I doubt they have signage for the sale because there's nowhere to place it.

I just picked up The Flight Of The Phoenix, The Girl Can't Help It and Pink Flamingos (two copies- one as a gift for an equally demented friend) on Blu-ray and The Last Waltz, Double Indemnity and Shaft on UHD at my local B&N. A couple didn't ring as being part of the sale so they adjusted the...

I was at my local store today so I pre-ordered the UHDs of Mulholland Drive, Citizen Kane, Menace II Society, and Uncut Gems. I'm curious to see if my store even stocks the UHDs but if they don't, I'm still good to go.

Now that I think of it, The Signifyin' Works Of Marlon Riggs is in a 'slipcase style' package too. I don't know what the proper name of the case is but it's the same style as their Silence Of The Lambs release or the Scorsese movies like The Irishman or Rolling Thunder Revue.

Out of what I bought that was released this year, The Furies was in a box and the rest were standard Criterion cases.

I had been looking periodically to see if they had a copy of Fast Times At Ridgemont High (and other more recent titles) at my local store since it had been released and had yet to see it there. However, when I went in on Friday morning, they had at least 7 or 8 copies of it between the...

I spent too much money but my local B&N was well-stocked and had everything that I wanted. I even pre-ordered my copy of Bringing Up Baby.

If you want to save money, how can you criticize Barnes and Noble for trying to do the same? The last few years haven't been kind to them and the pandemic has only made things worse. That's not to say that you have to continue to shop there but I can understand why they dropped the extra...

Clearly, you're a fan of lighter, upbeat movies (I own all of them too).

I didn't get the extra 10% in store this morning either. Personally, I buy plenty of stuff in there that makes my membership still worth it but it'd certainly be nice to get another $2 off of all the Criterions I buy there.

Thanks for the heads up! I was thinking the sale started on Monday so I made a quick unplanned trip to B&N when they opened and grabbed Parasite.

I was thinking the same thing. However, the sale has occasionally been extended for a week.

It's generally on the 15th of the month (or the closest week day) so the October announcements should be this Wednesday. Personally, I'm hoping for I Walked With A Zombie or some other horror title.

Out of the 12 or 15 titles that I want, that's the only one that I think I may have trouble getting. Worst case scenario, I think the Criterion.com sale is in September. :)

According to Barnes And Noble's site, the sale is over on August 2. I'd assume you'll see some stuff come back in stock over the course of the sale.

I would assume that the one next month is still going to happen. I can't imagine that they'll immediately micromanage things like a sale. After that, who knows.

I was just wondering the same thing and earlier, David said: If that date is wrong, blame him and not me. :)

I'm a big fan of The Breakfast Club and that's an excellent disc. Criterion has done some nice work this year (The Silence Of The Lambs, Night Of The Living Dead, the Dietrich/von Sternberg set) but I'd say that The Breakfast Club is their best release that I've seen.

Yeah, it sounds like you made the right choice.

It's definitely not for everyone but I unironically enjoy Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls because it's a great 70's grindhouse movie. The trailer might even be crazier than the movie: Valley Of The Dolls is just campy and doesn't have all the crap (girl rock groups, nudity, killing) that makes...

Since the B&N sale ends today, this is kind of a silly question but any guess as to when the next Criterion site sale is?

Yeah, it's generally in July and November.

Dang. They did say it could take up to 10 days for the 'contacts solution' to work so I'll remain optimistic for a few more days at least. Thanks for the info!

I tried that when it was suggested before and it did nothing. Has there been any B&N e-mails since Friday afternoon?

The irony is that I probably get one or two e-mails a day that are obviously crap (boner pills, Russian mail order bride) and what I actually want manages to not even make it to my junk mail folder.

No B&N e-mails go into my junk mail either. I just flat out don't get them. I'll report back if it's successful.

I gave them a call and they told me to add the following e-mail addresses in my contacts and that should get the e-mails to actually arrive in my inbox: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] They said it could take up to 10 days to work (or maybe that...
