All taken care of, Steve. Mentioned your name however. He may still have flashbacks!

Wonderland would be a better fit with Boogie Nights Steve, maybe make it a triple feature
I'm waiting for a sale on To Kill a Mockingbird. I'll grab Total Recall on sale as well. I saw the trailer for the remake, it looks a bit goofy. Not Expendables 2 amazingly awesome goofy, but just goofy.
I believe tomorrow is the start of a Barnes & Noble Criterion collection sale so I'll be dropping a massive amount sadly. I think I have at least 6 titles I want! Godzilla, Anatomy Of A Murder, Shallow Grave, The Gold Rush, Up All Night, Traffic, Being John Malcovich, Harold and Maude, David Lean Directs Noel Coward, A Night To Remember... I HAVE ELEVEN TITLES I WANT!
I'm going to have to start a Kickstarter to afford all this...
Steve, the Masters Of Cinema, or whatever it is over there, announced Island Of Lost Souls for UK release. so start saving, the Criterion was fucking amazing. I can't remember if you got it or not.
The one with the sun glasses? I still have it. I'm going to switch back to it and troll his threads!Originally Posted by Steve Christou /t/81187/testy-area-51/28410#post_3946574The bearded guy was Russells avatar picture of himself. Have you still got that picture Russ?

I guess I screwed up. I posted it in the "digital projection" thread and immediate reaction is that IMAX screenings are still on film.
Oooops. My bad.
I agree completely . They should of bit the bullet and put out a mega set with all the sequels. They could easily fit 2-3 films per disc. I think those dumb Mummy sequels are only about 60-70 mins each despite feeling 5 hours long. I don't trust Uni to do them right either so I'm waiting for reviews. I'lll wait for a deal.Originally Posted by Steve Christou /t/81187/testy-area-51/28410#post_3946611
That Universal Monster set is very tempting I just wished they included all the Frankensteins, there are only 7. Son of Frankenstein is underrated and should be on Blu-ray too.
Who says IMAX screening s are still film? That's incorrect.Mike Frezon said:I guess I screwed up. I posted it in the "digital projection" thread and immediate reaction is that IMAX screenings are still on film.

Does this mean I get to be moderator?
I also took advantage of that brief overlap of sales for 6 Criterions: Shallow Grave, The 39 Steps, Gold Rush, Certified Copy, Double Life of Veronique and 1 more I forgot right now. I had a rather middling response to "Certified Copy" when I saw it at HIFF, but it will be an interesting one to see again because of the totally different ways people interpret that film. Wish the Whit Stillman's were out already.Russell G said:I killed it on the Criterion sale by jumping in early and getting "buy 2 get 1 free" on top of the 50% off. 12 movies for the price of 8. My GST cheque arrived just in time! I need the movies to arrive now. RIGHT NOW!!!
Nice! I have the first three of those on their way to me. I debated Double Life of Veronique. I never saw it but loved the Three Colors Tril by the same director. I might actually buy it and a couple more. I want the Stillman films too. They are part of the sale despite being pre-orders. I was going to bite on them but they wouldn't flag another free title so I skipped it.Too bad the royal tenenbaums isn't part of it yet. I'm quite happy upgrading all my Anderson films to Criterion blusOriginally Posted by Elizabeth S /t/81187/testy-area-51/28410#post_3947620
