Hopefully the release Throne of Blood, Sword of Doom on BD

For me Japanese cinema of the 50s/60s is like eating an apple - once you get stuck in they're really enjoyable and nourishing but most of the time there's more instantly tempting fruit available - say nectarines (Giallo) or cherries (slasher movies)

I decided to hold off on it for now. I like Roeg but there are other Criterion's that I want more.

Criterion Sale time at Barnes & Noble. First order is:

Criterion Collection: Eclipse Series 38 - Masaki Kobayashi Against The System
Badlands
The Life of Oharu
The Last Days of Disco
The Night of the Hunter
Repulsion

Will place another after the 15th, when my Credit Card starts a new month. Probably with some Kurosawa since the BFI got into bed with Zavvi, and The Samurai Trilogy.

What's the deal with customs charges ordering from them though? Doesn't ordering that lot hit you with a hefty charge . . .?

They mark everything as 'Book' so you don't get customs charges.

Shipping is very reasonable too. $22 for priority shipping on six items.

Coooooool! I might very well be ordering then . . .

Gutted this wasn't on when I was in the states a few weeks ago. Although they had a 3 for 2 offer which was better than nothing.

I have some gift cards saved up for this and Shoah is looking extremely tempting...I think I will wait and see if any coupons are sent to my inbox.

Any fans of Brando in On The Waterfront really needs to pick this up.
An astounding package!
