Criterion Guide - Barnes & Noble 50% Off Twice Year Sale
Re: 50% Off Sale Criterion Barnes Noble - Criterion Info Thr
Is anyone gonna buy the movie about eating poop?
Re: 50% Off Sale Criterion Barnes Noble - Criterion Info Thr
Salo? I totally own it. It's intense. I'd recommend it if you want an unpleasant experience that's also artistically raw and powerful?
Oh and I forgot Sparticus - one of the very few Kubrick movies I *don't* own. And even though it's on non-Criterion blu-ray, I'd rather have Criterion bonus features. And Jubilee is one I've wanted for years! And I don't think I actually own any Ozu films...
Maybe I'll end up buying *two* movies during this sale.

Ah! The B&N Criterion(/Art-house) sale! It comes but once a year
As it happened I had the day off today, so I stopped by the store and picked up Repo Man, Kuroneko, Ran, and The Illusionist. (Those last two aren't Criterion, but I've had my eye on them for a while.) This brings my meager Criterion collection up to 13. No where near Nemoide's selection, but I've been trying to stick with Blu-rays (plus one laserdisc), and their pricey-ness often limits me to sale time.

After much hemming & hawing I placed my order!
King of Kings - this will be the first Cecil B. DeMille film I'll watch! I saw a *little* of The Ten Commandments on TV when I was a kid but that doesn't count. All I know about his reputation is that a film professor of mine described him as filling his movies with scantly-clad slave-girls under the guise of religious epics? But accordion to Criterion's description this movie is reverent and serious? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT!
Tokyo Story - I love Japanese culture so I'm a little embarrassed that I've only seen one of Yasujiro Ozu's other movies and I don't even remember what it was called - there was a season in the title... which doesn't narrow it down at all. But I'm looking forward to SAD FAMILY DRAMA because I'm under the impression that that's kind of his jam? I was torn between this and Stories of Floating Weeds, but picked this one mostly because it's on Blu-Ray.

Criterion Guide
The Criterion sale is over until next year at Barnes Noble. Not sure what titles go on sale in six months.
Updated the OP with more Criterion information and a few more Jean-Pierre Jeunet movies.
The Criterion Brazil especially is tricky in identifying which box set to pick up.

Re: Criterion Guide
Barnes & Noble doesn't do the Criterion sale in Novembers anymore? I remember in years past they'd do one in the summertime and then another again in November. Then again, I haven't bought a Criterion release since when "City Lights" was originally released due to it being my favorite film of all-time, although some of their subsequent releases have piqued my interest.
I sell video games and video game accessories.

Fixed Nice thread, BTW.

Sad family drama is absolutely Ozu's jam. Absolutely beautiful films and Tokyo Story is one of his best.
