clerk3745 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I was surprised how much I like Inside Llewyn Davis, never been huge on the Cohen brothers but maybe it was the music or Oscar Isaac but I really loved that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea (modern take on the Odyssey) and the music but that one never hit home for me either. No Country was good and Raising Arizona is still funny (no matter how much I can't stand Cage) but Fargo... I've seen it twice and both times it ends and I think the same exact thing: "Thats its? Thats what everyone is peeing their pants about being soooo good?" I just don't get it. I'll try Blood Simple when it comes to criterion though because I'm a whore. Anyway, I still got a few to preorder: Touch of Zen and Carnival of Souls. Also will probably get the blu only Zatoichi set when it comes out next sale and sell my current set. I HATE the box its in, it doesn't fit on any shelf and the dual format bullshit was a huge mistake IMO.

Barton Fink is their best as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Go hastings had a 2 for 14 dvd sale and had a ton of criterion as a part of it. I ordered 12 and only 4 ended up being in stock after the fact. Cant really complain i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Round 2 consisted of: Persona The Brood Being John Malkovich Probably gonna skip getting any for the next week or so. Won't be surprised if I buy a couple more at least before the months over. If not, there's always November! batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Barnes & Nobles next 50% off sale is less than a month away, so I figured I'd just grab the other stuff I wanted then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digging up an old comment but I felt this so hard on that movie. Never really liked them before or sense but Llewyn Davis is amazing.

No tax and finally amassed 500 points for a free $50 gift card. Kinda crazy that I spent $500 since early 2014, but whatevs hahaha.

It honestly feels like Criterion does these flash sales almost as many times as the B&N does their month long sales (which is twice a year I believe). Unless I don't receive the email every time Criterion does one. If they do them more often and I was actually aware of them, I'm sure if be buying much more often.

clerk3745 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I got Blood Simple (gambling on more Coen brothers), Master of the House, and Cat People. I'll get 3 more next sale and will get the $50 voucher through them. Its just cheaper for me to wait for the B&N sales with a membership.

Yeah I get 20-30% off coupons pretty regularly, normally at least once a month, even more near the holidays. Criterions you get another 10% after the 50% so most come to $18. Add a coupon to that and you're pretty much stealing any boxset. I read a lot and my sister is a teacher so we use the coupons a lot too. batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a lot and my sister is a teacher so we use the coupons a lot too. Okay that makes sense. I think my address was messed up or something so I never got coupons. What I was seeing was that without coupons it's only saving around $0.50 per $39.99 title vs. Criterion.com so I was better off banking up the points. I rarely shop B&N otherwise it may be worth looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
