- Comment on Criterion's 50% off flash sale is live 2 weeks ago:
The last Flash Sale I managed to catch was two years ago, so I’m picking up a lot in this one:
- Bicycle Thieves (1948)
- All That Heaven Allows (1955)
- Summertime (1955)
- The Burmese Harp (1956)
- Chungking Express (1994)
- No Country for Old Men (2007)
- WALL-E (2008)
- Flow (2024)
Most excited about Burmese Harp, as I genuinely thought it would never get upgraded from DVD as it’s somewhat obscure (but sooo good). Also looking forward to Flow, which is a blind buy, but so many people have recommended it to me.

- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 11 months ago:
Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It’s not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it’s one of my dad’s favorite movies. Never really understood why it’s so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)
- Comment on Criterion’s 24-hour sale slashes 50% off every Blu-ray 1 year ago:
Ah, I missed it again! And just by a few hours. Is there some kind of mailing list or something to sign up for to find out when this happens? Since I gave up Reddit and YouTube I am way out of the loop on these things. Would have picked up several titles too, since it’s been a couple years…
- Comment on Another hit to physical media as Target lays out plans to ditch in-store DVD and Blu-ray sales 1 year ago:
This is a shame, but it’s understandable. Just as long as they don’t cut back on what they carry online. They have a fantastic online selection which the stores never really matched. Some of their sales made it possible to grab Criterion blu rays for cheaper than the 50% off sales at B&N.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 15 October 2 years ago:
I watched four films this week, all of which I’d seen before (so clearly I quite like them all):
- It Happened One Night (1934)
- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
- Foreign Correspondent (1940)
- 21 Jump Street (2012)
Really tough to choose one, but would probably have to give the nod to Mr Smith. Jimmy Stewart is just too good.
