The B&N sale is pretty much the only time I buy Criterions. 50% MSRP, meaning Blu-rays are $20.

Jee Wiz... why are they so expensive?

[LoathedVermin72]

That’s cheap for a Criterion Blu

I picked up Color of Pomegranates, Lady Snowblood and 2001.

Almost bought Robinson Crusoe on Mars

Just finished Wrinkle in Time. It's been awhile since I've been actively mad at a movie while watching it. I keep reading how the book is unfilmable. Well, if you put a FLYING CABBAGE in it (because you're afraid of the 'angel' aspect in the book?) and you only mention Aunt Beast by name and never show her then you're not even trying. Never mind the twins being excised entirely, or Calvin's family going from ignoring him to mentally abusing him, or even the timeline change of having Charles Wallace make enough food/milk for visitors and then the weird edit so you're not sure if that was the previous day or not.

UGH.

I'm so glad I got it from the library. I wouldn't want to have paid money to be this mad.

I've been tempted to see that one at the dollar theater.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

is it a McMiniman's and are they still any good?

They have theaters? I've eaten at a McMiniman's restaurant/bar here a couple of times. The pizza was good.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

rad

I'm pumped man. One of my all time favs. It's been years since I last watched it and I've never seen it in 70mm.

[LoathedVermin72]

I’ve heard bad things about the current 70mm version, unfortunately.
