Mignola cover art?

yup. did Cronos too.

Cool. This was in some doubt. Del Toro and Mignola were on the outs a bit this past year. Good sign.

Edit: That's not Mignola.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking awesome. Geeked that it'll finally be available to buy on blu ray. Even dvd copies are ridiculously expensive.

Been officially confirmed that Janus Films has acquired Cronenberg's The Brood.

On The Waterfront
The Blob
A Man Escaped
Repo Man
3:10 to Yuma

Words can't describe how awesome the packaging/inner booklets for Repo Man are.

The Ice storm comes out during this sale....just a heads up

[jamrage]

YESSSSSSS!!!!

[jamrage]

Does someone with a BN membership want to pm me the phone number on their account so I can get the membership discount?

Sure you do.

[Tommy Bunz]

got you

[jamrage]

Big ups to Tommy for letting me use his card.

Copped:

On the Waterfront
A Man Escaped
Videodrome

Seriously considering grabbing a few more before the end of the sale.

[samdoom]

anyone have the Blu Ray Criterions of The Game, Royal Tenenbaums, or La Haine? Debating copping all or some depending on how good the extras are.

[Tommy Bunz]

I have all three but only the Game in bluray. The Game looks amazing in the format, highly recommend it. Once of Fincher's best films visually. The behind the scenes footage is pretty cool, the alternate ending is completely disposable/dumb.

Don't remember how good the extras are on the other two, been years since I've watched them.

fuck i really wanna get the world of tomorrow or whatever that one is called

[darkwingduck]

fuck i really wanna get the world of tomorrow or whatever that one is called

why?

[drizzle]

umm because it looks awesome

it's called things to come btw

[Tommy Bunz]

October Releases. at the Uninvited finally getting a real release. One of the best haunted house movies ever.

[jamrage]

Goddamn it, are they ever going to get the rights to Le Samourai back?

[Tommy Bunz]

actually i'm pretty sure that's one of the only Melville's they still do have. I would expect they'll squeak out a blu-ray before they lose the rights, like they did for Le Cercle Rouge and Army of Shadows.

[Reason]

bn.com = 50% off criterion collection until 7/29

[Tommy Bunz]

thanks for the heads up, reason doesn't read before he posts


Winding Refn in da criterion closet


mind is spinning with possibilities of why he's in their office, he's a huge fan of a couple movies that they haven't put out on bluray, so maybe he's doing a commentary; really hoping that they are going to put out one of his lesser known movies.
I would all over the place for a stacked criterion of Valhalla Rising.

[Reason]

oops missed dan's post -_-

i just posted that blindly cuz i got an email about it. my local b&n's criterion section is pretty sick

[drizzle]

could be Only God Forgives is coming out on criterion dvd right off the bat?

[jamrage]

What about the Pusher trilogy? I have no idea who has the rights to those movies, but they would seem to fit right in with movies they've released from that era before (Man Bites Dog etc.).
