I am not collecting but, rather, merely gathering.:rolleyes:

For what it’s worth, I called around to a few Barnes & Noble stores. 4 from my state and 1 each within 3 other states. Nothing on their computers and nothing when they double-checked their Criterion shelves.

Well, all in all, it’s been a fun week. In the hunt, I bagged myself 2 OOP titles. There shall be more good films ahead. Meanwhile, I am flexed and ready for WAC. 4 for $44. This week. And their final one.

The B & N web site had stated on their web site that “Harold and Maude” was no longer available for direct shipping. Their site offers the secondary option of ordering it on-line for store pick-up - if available - at the B & N nearest to the consumer. “Harold and Maude” was available at some...

As we all know by now, “Harold and Maude” is among the OOP. I decided to pick this one up a couple of days, ago. Checked out its availability on the Barnes and Noble web site. Copies were no longer available via the direct on-line ordering, where it’s shipped to your home address. Yet...

Whoa. Is this list a combination of OOP titles and other Paramount titles that may be at risk of going OOP; or are all of these titles about to be yanked? Greater clarities towards that end would be helpful.

Clever out. I guess we can let that one slide. FILE UNDER: The Spines Who Loved Me.

You're obviously not superstitious. Rather than sacrifice down to 12, I'd have to push my way up to14; after all, when and wherever there's a sale one can justly justify just about anything. :)

Feelin’ Fellini !!! A definite Pre-Order purchase with no reviews required. :cool: As rumors go, this will be Criterion’s charter 4K/UHD release. Stay tuned.:chatter:

Okay, so Godzilla is not my genre; but there's no denying that this is one Hell of a set.:thumbs-up-smiley: Well, there it is, one side's got themselves a boxed set of Von Sternberg, an Oscar winning Doc and a Haxan and a Haskel; while the other side's got themselves a mammoth killer monster...

Boy, did I guess wrong. I could've sworn it was Old Ryan's Daughter.:unsure::rolleyes::lol:

Tuesday? Wednesday? Darn, this topic of Spine #1,000 has surely become a contagious one. Nonetheless, it's Monday and I'll just continue with my "serenity now" plan of breaking the seal on yet another Criterion title; as there are 8 more gems that are still speaking to me from that stack of...

So, in other words, an OCN is the original and a double negative is known as a dupe?:rolleyes: Did you mean: autocratic?:D Now, Criterion, about that Spine #1,000.:chatter: Subliminal suggestion: "Ryan's Daughter".:thumbs-up-smiley:

Huh? What? Did anyone here actually believe that I wasn't anxious, as well?:D

"The Emigrants". Gorgeous, masterful and generously packaged with "The New Land". No turning back now, I'm going Swedish, as this double-bill is a great precursor to that mega-box marathon of Ingmar Berman's Cinema; which should keep anyone busy until Criterion's August announcements; or...

Well, I've decided not to get frustrated. I've decided to log off and watch one of my 9 Criterion films that are still sealed. You know the ones. That sealed title that excited us when first announced; the one in which we anxiously awaited another 3 months for its release; the one that became...

Today, tomorrow, what's the difference? We still can't have and hold whatever it is that Criterion announces for another three months, thereafter.:mellow:

Well Jeffrey D, it's quite possible that any of our hopeful choices could lead to the classic outcome of being something altogether different. And if that's the case, then I feel that the Adam_S prediction of "Roma" would also serve well in taking that coveted spot of Spine #1,000. After all...

What? Arsenic and Old Lace before Holiday or Bringing Up Baby?:eek: [PMF begins the debate with Jeffrey D rebutting] "Pins" "Salt Peter" "Pins" "Salt Peter" "Kate" "Capra" "Kate" "Capra" "Cukor" "Cary" "Cukor" "Cary" "Paleontologist" "Poison" "Paleontologist" "Poison" "Hawks" "Eagle" "Hawks"...

Could you be wrong? Could I be wrong? The answer to both questions is a resounding "Yes". But the true question is thus; how could Criterion be wrong - or even go wrong - in releasing the one-two punch of both Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn in either :"Holiday" or "Bringing Up Baby". Now...

My Spine #1,000 bets are on "Bringing Up Baby".:thumbs-up-smiley:

"The Circus"? Yes !!!:drum: Boy, Lord Dalek, did I do a double-take when I saw your post. THIS has been on my shortest of short lists for quite some time. Most coveted. And for those who haven't yet gone to the link, it's gonna be a 4K digital restoration, as well.:thumbs-up-smiley: C'mon...

"Swing Time". Finally. And it's not just an Astaire and Rogers film, it's also another precious work by the great George Stevens. Just one question - but not a complaint - I wonder why an older title such as "The Cameraman" is able to produce or withstand a 4K transfer, while an even younger...

OUCH !!! Oh well, ya can't like 'em all. Still, "The Rose Tattoo" did receive 8 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Edith Head for Costume and Alex North for Score; plus it did win 3 for Anna Magnani (Best Actress), James Wong Howe (Best Cinematography) and Best Art Direction (Black and...

Pristine, yes, but a single isolated Lean title alone does not add up to a full box of four...plus, I'd like to avoid a future double-dipping. But, yes, B-ROLL is right about the rest; and the Studio Canal edition of "Hobson's Choice" has had great reviews across the boards.:)

Plain and simple. "David Lean Directs Noel Coward" should be complimented with further boxed sets of the like. With Criterion already holding DVD licenses for "Great Expectations", "Oliver Twist", "Hobson's Choice" and "Summertime", it would seem that the BD upgrades of these 4 titles should...

Indeed, Criterion's SHAMPOO without a trailer does require a bit of Conditioning.;)

File Under: Some Like It Delayed.:(

Are you certain that Criterion even has a licensing agreements for more Harold Llyod titles? But, yah, I'm in for more, too; that is, if they've got 'em.

To my mind, this Bergman boxed set does stand alone.
