Criterion Season is BACK with a VENGEANCE! Huge Haul! (July 2024)

[@AnInternetUser1]

Our wallets may beg for mercy, but we will deny them that relief.

[@mmayer1558]

Well, at 50% off, the wallets are getting mercy

[@dannysavage8929]

Koreada’s Still Walking is incredible! Such a beautiful and authentic family drama.

[@tristanmayer5373]

Unreal selection at this store! Always love Criterion season. I blind bought To Die For the other day and loved it! I can’t wait to pick up some more.

[@megamoviez]

Waiting for that Perfect Days Criterion in July! My favorite movie of last year!

[@TheMisfitPond]

So excited to buy that beautiful film ❤️ 🌳 🍃

[@hvitekristesdod]

Me too!!

[@brandonrobertkersjes]

Better than Paris, Texas, or Wings of Desire??? I haven’t seen Perfect Days yet.

[@hvitekristesdod]

@@brandonrobertkersjes I wouldn’t say it’s better than Paris Texas. Haven’t seen Wings of Desire

[@megamoviez]

@@brandonrobertkersjes Idk if it surpasses those masterpieces but it’s VERY close

[@TheChungusofBungus]

I always look forward to your long criterion shopping/haul videos. Thanks for keeping this b&n tradition going.

[@tomasdominguez3645]

I love how even though we haven’t talked in a minute, you still always remember to bring up Fail Safe and I thank you for that! Way more people need to see that film! Great haul btw!

[@TheMisfitPond]

Of course dude! That was an excellent request! I honestly should’ve remembered to shout you out when I mentioned it.

[@Dmfriend26]

Happy to see you Criterion hunting again! I just re-watched all your old hunts. Bringing Up Baby is so good, top five Criterion for me. You need to watch Baron Munchausen! I grew up watching it, and it still holds up. Such a good film!

[@Dmfriend26]

I've seen this video three times because I can't buy Criterions until I get paid Friday, so I live through your videos. haha

[@customsforthekid]

I have been watching B&N Criterion Collection videos all week and this is the first video that got me to subscribe to a channel. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@customsforthekid wow I feel so honored. Really glad you enjoyed the video. I have a playlist full of all the haul videos! But most of my content are film reviews and analysis type stuff. Hope you enjoy the channel and welcome to the kinolord family

[@customsforthekid]

​@@TheMisfitPondHave you ever reviewed "Woman In The Dunes", "Onibaba", or "Color of Pomegranates"?

[@melancholia.cinema]

love that shirt Blaire, saw them Saturday live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Smashing Pumpkins are freakin awesome. The preshow was by Interpol. Always enjoy the videos!

[@lostnthenoise]

I am going to that location of B&N tomorrow, so I hope you left a few things for the rest of us!

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@lostnthenoise 😬

[@disastervillain]

The way that I left that Dr.Strange Love there for you knowing you would find it lol i have NEVER found it in the wild before.

[@slimnave4846]

My modest little haul this weekend: Carnival of Souls, Being John Malkovich, Erasherhead, Lost Highway, The Piano Teacher, Y Tu Mama Tambien

[@stephenschroeder7907]

Picked up Take Out and Rushmore so far. So glad to see Wanda getting love lately. So great! Just watched In A Lonely Place and To Die For today and loved them both. Would recommend! Love the videos, keep up the work!

[@mikeyfocus3845]

My prayers were answered, love the Criterion Hauls ❤😊

[@TheMisfitPond]

Thank you so much Mikey!

[@southendonseaarts]

I’m in the UK so can’t do the Barnes and Noble sales but it still doesn’t stop me importing some great titles.

[@kkaylann]

It’s the most wonderful tiiiime of the yeaarrrr 🎅

[@fv5681]

Hoping to see a few more of these during the month! Still Walking comes with a high recommendation. It’s a slow burn a modern take on Ozu’s Tokyo Story.

[@nakedzaiah615]

Both of your shirts are 🔥🔥🔥 It’s cool to see you’ve been watching more 40s and 30s classic Hollywood

[@optimusgotslimed3175]

I like the camera 📸 🤳 person. Damn nice movies 🍿

[@w.iraheta3769]

Awesome haul. What Barnes & Noble location is this in GA? I have to take a trip this upcoming weekend.

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@w.iraheta3769 thanks dude! It’s the Cumberland location!

[@AMORE-22_.]

Love the haul, guys! ❤

[@Hamza-yu1ur]

It’s that time of the year 🎉

[@JloveLamar]

Denzel Washington and Spike Lee are filming their remake of "High and Low" now!

[@aydenbradburn7008]

LETS GO BEST TIME OF THE YEAR!!!

[@raymondwatt9773]

Burning is my second favorite Korean film after Oldboy. Peppermint Candy is a movie you should check out.

[@christianholm4725]

The people have been waiting!

[@DomHou]

One title I see not many people mention is Medium Cool from Haskell Wexler. Incredible movie that uses real footage from the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Give that one some love!

[@PrimeMover93]

Been looking forward to this!

[@JordanEstes]

Which Barnes is this? I’m so sad mine killed its movie selection. I would make a drive just to see a selection like this!

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@JordanEstes it’s the Barnes and Noble in Cumberland, Ga

[@brandonrobertkersjes]

This is my first criterion sale!

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@brandonrobertkersjes welcome to the cult my fellow kinolord 🙏

[@brandonrobertkersjes]

@@TheMisfitPondThank you!

[@hunterdean4766]

A Matter of Life ans Death is awesome. Not as good as Red Shoes, but damn close. Colonel Blimp is really good also.

[@kkaylann]

Blaire saying she’s never seen any Bela Tarr films, like we didn’t spend a whole ass day watching Satantango together smh 😂

[@BlaireMay]

BRUH

[@BlaireMay]

I’m sorry you’re so right lmaooo how could I forget

[@BlaireMay]

Love u Kaylan💜

[@kkaylann]

@@BlaireMay lmaooo ur a goofball. Love u too 🩷

[@goldau856]

Have you seen Blow up? You skipped right over it 😅 Top recommendation if you haven’t seen it?

[@BirdofKino]

This video has inspired me to eat my lunch naked. Really get into the mindset of what Gen was getting at there

[@STEVEHEROLD]

bottle rocket remains my favorite wes anderson movie.

[@GhostDiZ]

Come and see... I have to get that

[@Tim_Raths]

I like that shirt. One dog goes one way and the other dog goes the other way.

[@Martinmd12-zt7vu]

I just got Cure and Memories of murder. I’m waiting to see what the next announcements on the 15th will be.

[@BennyFordPerfectlySafe]

Dr. Strangelove has a nice surprise inside. It tops all other choices just for that surprise.

[@TheMisfitPond]

Omg really?! Damn I usually don’t open my criterions until I decide to watch the movie but I might have to make an exception.

[@BennyFordPerfectlySafe]

@@TheMisfitPond I’d tell you more but it’s all very top secret. I hope it is your favorite packaging of this haul.

[@ryebread9299]

that umbrellas 6/10 being referenced in 2024 is cursed

[@cinemalights2625]

I just finally got a second job so now I have money to spend on Criterions lol.

[@jesusperez7108]

Amazing haul crew! I Love Blaire's Smashing Pumpkins t shirt. Great band. Amazing album. Kes is actually really hard to come by in stores. I highly recommend checking that out. Excellent film. I know how much y'all love All that Heaven Allows. Please consider checking The Magnificent Obsession.

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@jesusperez7108 thank you so much h Perry! I appreciate the recommendation! Gonna end the Magnificent Obsession to my watchlist! I miss my bff 🥺

[@BlaireMay]

Wish you could’ve been there Perry it was a awesome haul but I missed you

[@jaqueztaylor8781]

What the name of the movie that your friend said was his first criterion

[@urbanexcursion]

Shout out to Criterion Hauls

[@hvitekristesdod]

Just ordered Secret Sunshine. Great film 👏👏👏

[@hvitekristesdod]

Great deals on the Unobstructed View site for Canadians like me who don’t have Barnes and Noble. Ordered Trainspotting as well

[@tiredboi8326]

fantastic mr fox was THE pick

[@randywanamaker8453]

Dreams on 4K is fucking insane

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@randywanamaker8453 I bet! Film was visually stunning

[@raymondwatt9773]

Trainspotting is in my top 25 movies. Greatest soundtrack ever

[@raymondwatt9773]

La Piscine is damn good

[@johnsmith4071]

Todd Solondz Happiness is coming to Criterion

[@tiredboi8326]

horrendous take on “the virgin suicides” 😭 i can’t believe your girl let that slide

[@5colorcowboy]

Kubrick 👑

[@CKprimeval07]

Bottle Rocket is Wes' weakest film but it's still pretty good. Overall a great selection of films. I hope to find a Barnes and Nobles while I'm on vacation. If not, hopefully we can meet up again later this month. I really want to get Farewell My Concubine, Perfect Days, Anatomy of a Fall, I Am Cuba, and Black God White Devil.

[@patrickking2317]

You’re right, The Virgin Suicides IS mid as hell!

[@iamwoteveriwanttobe]

Re The Virgin Suicides, is it "suburban white girl" specifically or any suburban girl? What if they were black or Asian? Would you care then? It comes across to me as narrow minded at the very least. Isn't it interesting to perceive reality through the lens of someone completely different than yourself?

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@iamwoteveriwanttobe I was kinda being intentionally narrow there as more of a joke than actually sincere. My real issue with the movie is bland presentation and writing that doesn’t do a good job at compelling an outsider like me. Cooper Raiff director of Shithouse and Cha Cha Real Smooth also explores the life of suburban young adults in his movies but does a much better job at pulling in an outsider like me into its charm and into its emotional core.

[@iamwoteveriwanttobe]

@@TheMisfitPond Thanks for the more detailed explanation. Obviously I didn't pick up on it being a joke. I watched this film also not being a suburban white girl, and agree with you. I gave it a 2.5 out 5.

[@orionpax123]

Still Walking is amazing but not Kore era’s best…. but absolutely worth the blind buy. Criterion does have his best film which is After Life… that is THE BEST criterion movie I’ve seen. Both films need more recognition.

[@valerieyoder]

Cool shirt👈👉

[@Rigbyreads]

Frends 😍❤️

[@m__l-o5t]

First off, love the Palestine bracelet! V happy to see Blaire bought the Chantal Akerman boxset already, one of my favorite directors. I already own the Chantal Akerman In the 70s Eclipse set but might have to upgrade in this sale. Also love the Wanda pickup, one of my favorite films in the entire collection. I feel like these don't get much attention from KZbinrs, so that was a pleasant surprise. And All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is an excellent radical documentary, great pickup!

[@weslinklater5194]

I agree with you heavy on both 8 1/2 and crash. Especially crash I went into that movie expecting so much, but I really didn’t like that movie. One of the criterion’s I retreat buying tbh

[@brandonrobertkersjes]

The Virgin Suicides is definitely mid.

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@brandonrobertkersjes thank you 🙏

[@brandonrobertkersjes]

Same goes for all Sofia Coppola films in my opinion.

[@raymondwatt9773]

Sorry but I hated Jeanne Dielmann I have to call out a naked emperor when I see one.

[@darkknightfanboy3185]

That Selena Gomez comment was cringe dude.....

[@TheMisfitPond]

@@orionpax123 you’re gonna hate me but I thought After Life was a bit underwhelming. But I LOVE monster, shoplifters and Maborosi.. I really wanna check out Nobody Knows.
