Huh. I looked at the fine print on the sign at that store, Wayne...and could have sworn it specifically said that the member's discount was NOT in play as part of the sale. And I was thisclose to taking a picture of it with my phone but didn't.

I went to my local B&M B&N :D and picked up The Gunfighter and Leave Her to Heaven. As expected, no membership discount.

Ooops. Thanks, fellas. I saw "Fellini"...but processed "Bergman." In other news, the Bergman set on Blu seems to have disappeared.

I think it's been pulled from Amazon. The one they link to for $125 is a Region B compilation.

The big Bergman box is $149.99 on Amazon (matching the B&N 50% sale). But Amazon is also including an $18 coupon.

Huh. Of the three titles I ordered...only Destry Rides Again and The Story of Temple Drake have shipped. NOT The Lady Eve.

Howie: Did your All About Eve have standard plastic disc trays inside (where Matt's only has those little black, sticky hubs?).

We won't get fooled again! :laugh:

Has THAT always been going on?!? :eek: What a great service! I'll have to check that out every week! :D That guy is pretty sharp (except when he's an idiot!).

Oh no! And I'm going to be at my local B&N tomorrow. I might just have to check things out. :D I was kinda hoping to convince myself that my 2011 Blu would be good enough. Dammit! What are the other new releases tomorrow? Gotta go find David's list...

Ain't that the sad truth?!? And ain't that the sad truth, too?!?

Don't know if this is pertinent to your store, Rodney...but my B&N keeps the bigger sets separate from their regular Criterion section. Plus, they other random Criterion titles located in other parts of the media section and sometimes even out in the book section of the store (sometimes near...

I stopped by my local B&N today and picked up Cluny Brown and Local Hero. I don't know ANYTHING about Local Hero...but, while in the store, perused David's list of new titles (since the last sale) and those are the two titles which spoke to me. Sounds interesting.

As always...thanks, David. That's a very helpful list.

I went back for a second bite at the apple yesterday. :D I walked away with the interesting triple feature of: The Baker's Wife The Tree of Wooden Clogs Funny Games

That place looks mighty familiar, Adam! ;) But having a bin near the mall entrance is a huge departure from past sales.That looks like the bin that used to be located right near the entrance to the media section. I never would have looked there either! I'm glad to know where to head when I...

I wish B&N had these sales more often than twice a year! :D

I agree. But so many of them are just sitting, reading, and/or stealing wifi.

I think you gotta pony up for their $25 annual membership to get the coupons/free shipping, Johnny.

Yeah it is!

Here's the sign posted in the media section of my local B&N. This is my second consecutive visit that there's been no staff in the media section.

I hit my local B&N tonight...for the sole purpose of picking up the Dietrich/von Sternberg set. After both the sale discount and my member discount, the set rang up for $56.24. Suh-weet! I was worried at first, as I checked the Criterion section and couldn't find any. Then I checked the small...

Interesting. There was no one in the media section of my local B&N when I was there. Never seen that before. But there was a sign which said if anyone needed "customer assistance" to go to the cash registers at the mall entrance to the store. When I walked out of the media section with my...

Got to my local B&N over the weekend. Picked up: Pan's Labyrinth Tom Jones King of Jazz Virgin Spring The Awful Truth ...all for $17.99 apiece! :thumbsup: :D I will be heading back this week (maybe tomorrow!) for the Dietrich/von Sternberg set. And then I'll head back on (or near) July...

Now THAT's a diverse set of films! :D

That explains THAT! Thanks, Alan! Guess I'm heading to my local store.

Hmmmmm. Does this mean if you order on-line you DON'T get the 10% off member discount? EDIT: I'm messing around with a potential online order. I have a few Criterions in my cart and even at checkout I'm not seeing a member discount--even though logged in as a member. Just seeing free...

Thanks for that explanation. :thumbsup: I guess I should consider getting to the sale on opening day--whenever that is going to be.

David: I just got some more B&N coupons (right BEFORE the big sale. Thank you, B&N!). And, the 20% off one item coupons don't seem to exclude Criterion items. Isn't that a bit of a surprise? It does note that they are not supposed to be combined with any other coupon or promotional discount...

I've been waiting to hear from you on this, David! :D I've got two 20% off B&N coupons burning a hole in my pocket. They expire June 17. And, I've got a lengthy list of Criterions that I've been looking to pull the trigger on. Most can wait until the 50% off sale, but I'd be more than...
