DVD/BR Collector Thread for the Physical Media Enthusiasts

Saw there’s a New Avengers box set coming, including commentaries with Gareth Hunt and Joanna Lumley on some.

[Curt McGirt]

Get Carter had a 4K come out. I'd buy that for a dollar.

[J.H.]

I swear Kino Lorber wants to bankrupt me!

I just ordered Sugar Hill, a 70s exploitation revenge film featuring the mob, a nightclub and voodoo zombies!

If only the Wesley Snipes movie of the same name had voodoo zombies in it... oh wait it did have mid-1990s Abe Vigoda in it so close enough!

I can hardly wait!

70s Sugar Hill is a great, underrated movie.  Might have to pick up the KL release.

I own too many of them already individually.

I rarely have the opportunity to get in on these Criterion flash sales due to shipping costs to Canada, but this time around I have a trusty border crossing courier! I also had accumulated $65(!!!) in credit just from being a Channel subscriber. Here's my purchase list:

I Am Cuba (Kalatozov)
Letter Never Sent (Kalatozov)
Inland Empire (Lynch)
Lost Highway (Lynch)
David Lynch: The Art Life
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (Almodovar)
Stalker (Tarkovsky)
A Man Escaped (Bresson)

These are some of my favorite movies of all time, and titles I'd been wanting to grab for years now in some cases. So stoked to spend some time with each of these beautiful packages. Who else is getting in on this sale?

I want to, but my checking account says no. Although I may change my mind....

I finally got around to picking up Band of Outsiders/Bande à part in the flash sale. Only had the most recent credit coupon left so that was enough for me given all my current circumstances. 

[Andrew POE!]

I ended up buying All We Imagine As Light, The Shrouds, Vermiglio, Misericordia, and Flow during the flash sale for less than $100. 

[Curt McGirt]

Kino's January schedule. One of these things is not like the others...

[Andrew POE!]

Well, Barnes & Noble 50% off Criterion sale started. The damage from yesterday:

Uncut Gems 4K, Shoeshine 4K, Choose Me, Let The Sunshine In, and My Own Private Idaho. 

[Andrew POE!]

Sunday i got Arthur Penn's Night Moves from Barnes & Noble. The local B&N has scant number of releases available - I'll likely get the box sets I'm wanting on Amazon. 

[Curt McGirt]

You should come over to my B&N, we got a whole wall of Criterion.

[odessasteps]

Second visit

ALRIGHT

She was just on Colbert and didn't make much of an impression on me, but here? Man, she is a piece of work  It'd be great just to kick it with her and have a drink, swap stories.
