    Well that was awkward. At the time I posted in this, I had like 7 movies in my shopping cart at work and was going to pay for it at home.

    Took a nap that ended up being long and extended, and thus I didn't checkout.

    You should watch Badlands and Days of Heaven yesterday.

    Also: there's a B&N 50% sale, in the event you need more unopened films.

    One I'm fairly certain I'll order from B&N this round is The New World; also leaning strongly towards that Whit Stillman trilogy. I usually try to wedge in one Eclipse set, too—any suggestions?

    Voyage of Time looks like it's gonna be amazing.

    Most of what Malick has done since those days has been more experimental.

    Not sure what, if anything, you ( [MENTION=1]Forever Fredi[/MENTION] ) acquired during this year's summer B&N sale. I grabbed Blind Chance, La chienne, La Ciénaga, In the Mood for Love, Limelight, and two Eclipse: Julien Duvivier in the Thirties and Late Ozu. I've seen In the Mood for Love before (it's absolutely brilliant), as well as most of the films comprising Late Ozu, but thought the time was finally right to purchase and (eventually) rewatch them.

    I finally broke into the extensive Zatoichi set, which I purchased last autumn, a week or so ago; through the first four, it's been well worth the price (still twenty-two more films to go).

    I probably would've asked if he had any suggestions.

    Went a little heavier than I planned during yesterday's Flash Sale, given I've been traveling a lot recently, but I can't argue against any on my purchases:

    The New World
    Roma
    One-Eyed Jacks
    Chimes at Midnight
    Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project (Volume I)


    Some really great directors represented in the first four: the only pre-Tree of Life Malick film I haven't seen, meant to be an underappreciated gem; Criterion's most recent Fellini release, and one of my favorite types of narrative (city as subject); Brando's only directorial effort, another meant to be an underappreciated gem, as well as a brooding, highly-psychological western; and perhaps my favorite Welles film (all deference to Citizen Kane and F for Fake). The fifth and final item I'm treating more as a challenge: all of the films in said set (with the exception of Kim Ki-young's The Housemaid, which I have seen a couple times and which is brilliant) represent stories or storytellers that are understudied by me, so I'm attempting to remedy that.

    I missed it. I'm gonna have to wait for July. But there are some Filipino Criterions being released for the first time. Was so excited when they were announced. Thank you Scorsese for restoring and preserving.

    I also might pick some up when I get a 20% or 50% B&N coupon.

    I'm actually probably more excited about the films in Volume II, but I wanted to have/watch Volume I first, which is another reason I decided to splurge yesterday. Plus it's a pretty great deal: at $62, it's essentially $10 a film, with many of those films hard to find in good form otherwise.

    Yea, I’m a bit more budget-limited by grad school, but I’m at minimum picking up Rossellini’s War Trilogy. Also hankering for Volume 2 of the World Cinema and the Late Ray Eclipse.

    Actually ended up pivoting at the last moment: Red Desert, McCabe and Mrs Miller, and the Aki Kaurismaki "Proletariat Trilogy" Eclipse Set.
