assfax Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Oh yes I totally pre-ordered that Twilight Time blu ray release of Lenny. I've been checking every god damned day for that thing.

Chaos Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Friends of Eddie Coyle blu announced for April. I'm on that shit. That's one I've been meaning to see. A few people talked about the comparisons between it and The Town when that came out a few years ago.
Twitch Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Critieron is having a flash sale right now 50% off list price, ends tomorrow 3/11 at Noon EST Code: SPRING
Curt McGirt Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I can see the comparisons but Eddie Coyle is bleaker and more downtrodden, if that's possible to imagine. An amazing film and apparently an amazing book, too.
nate Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Barnes y Noblé 50% sale is on, daddy! On the hook for: Clean, Shaven Don't Look Now Naked Prey
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 The current B&N Criterion 50% off sale is on right now. Goes through July 27.
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 RATS! I'm sorry. I totally misread the date of your post. My bad. *hides in corner*

Brian Fowler Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 One of the Amazon deals of the day is the Zatoichi boxset for 97.99. 25 movies, 27 discs
Chaos Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Criterion is releasing the restored versions of Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy to Blu Ray. I have heard great things about this, so I may have to pick it up.
Chaos Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 50% off Blu Rays on Criterion's site today. If you took advantage of their $10 credit through Facebook, that makes some of their films cost you $10.
odessasteps Posted October 6, 2015 Author Posted October 6, 2015 Good time for people to get the just released Moonrise Kngdom.
piranesi Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Every time a sale pops up there I'm temped by there $8 Hulu thing. has anyone done it? Is it awesome or lame? Looking around there's a lot of stuff not streaming.

Looking around there's a lot of stuff not streaming. I think the main things not streaming is their newer stuff, but you do get the true Criterion stuff with it and even some of the Eclipse/Janus Films stuff too I believe. Given some of my blind spots, it's something I've invested in a couple of times, but I have a hard time fitting in any movie these days.
Execproducer Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Every time a sale pops up there I'm temped by there $8 Hulu thing. has anyone done it? Is it awesome or lame? Looking around there's a lot of stuff not streaming. The only reason I kept Hulu was for this. The collection is pretty deep. Only drawback is, unless I'm missing something, there is no way to access the extras or commentary.
odessasteps Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 For me, the extras are what make criterions special. Nothing worse than a bare bones criterion.
piranesi Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Has anyone here tried Fandor? They get about 30 criterion films a month on rotation and seem to specialize in obscure stuff.
assfax Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah, I did that 10 dollar deal and got Satyricon for 15 bucks.
Execproducer Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 For me, the extras are what make criterions special. Nothing worse than a bare bones criterion. I completely agree, but I can't afford to buy everything I'd like, so having the Hulu alternative is a pretty good deal. It also helps me choose which criterions I might want to purchase.
odessasteps Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 My general rule of thumb is not to buy a bare bones criterion, unless it is a special movie.
