50% off criterion collection sale! barnes and noble trip and haul

criterion sale is on! here is my trip to barnes & noble and the haul i took home. pretty good if I do say so
y’all get anything this year?

[@20thand21stMovies]

Awesome pickups, including that Great Wall-E edition! The special features with the director giving a peek under the tent of Pixar is so cool to see. Enjoy!

[@Defnotaraccoon]

Thanks! Super excited for the BTS features!

[@HenryLaPierre]

Ouch! on the spider wraps on the Pasolini set. Great choice on picking up Time Bandits, I've loved it since seeing it on its theatrical release.

[@Defnotaraccoon]

Saw that too! I get why B&N does it but it does suck for the customers. Thanks for the comment! Always appreciated.

[@rsienicki]

Great picks. If I had an opportunity to browse the B&N sales I would definitely get "Seven Samurai" and "High and Low". Possibly WALL-E as well. So kudos!

[@rsienicki]

Your alternative choices are also really great. As for the "Godzilla" - it is not released in the standard case (as far as I know), but I know some people did custom covers and put the movies in regular boxes.

[@Defnotaraccoon]

@@rsienicki thanks for the comment! that’s likely what I saw then. I looked around after I published this video and couldn’t find any official, standard release. Not sure why criterion would only do the big display release and not have a standard option. I’d even be okay with the same price! (I’d buy it half off anyways)

Nice! Gift cards definitely saved my haul this year. 😂

[@Defnotaraccoon]

They’re always a help!

[@make_it_good]

Well, you certainly put them to good use. Great haul! I also appreciate seeing the Gilliam love. Feel like he's not been getting due credit as of late.

[@nubisnotstump]

I don't know if you know this if a title you want isn't there for me it was Crumb, I ordered it and as long as it shows up before end of sale it's half off 🎉

[@Defnotaraccoon]

Nice! Might take advantage of that!

[@gaymerguy69]

Hmmm. 🤔 I dunno, You seem [x] mostly normal to me. 😋 I hope to be getting to BN soon as I have a stack of giftcards I've purchased the past few years specifically for these sales but I have yet to redeem any of them. Easily $200+ by now. I just have to gather them up. 🤑

[@Defnotaraccoon]

Perfect opportunity to spend them! Thanks for the comment

[@adam3797]

Do you like a bunch of old, foreign language, artsy-fartsy arthouse movies that nobody has even heard of…? That’s, like, 90% of Criterion’s catalogue.

[@mr.rigby98]

Great pickups! I was also excited to go today and grab a few criterions. With the 50% off sale, you'll be hooked on just buying new ones. Just subscribed 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

[@Defnotaraccoon]

Much appreciated! I got that itch now. I’m already planning a second haul!
