Criterion Collection Store

And now's the time I'm kicking myself for buying, receiving, and unwrapping Senso, Fish Tank, and Sweet Smell of Success from Amazon this week. Patience is a virtue... About 100 more likes to go until they post the promo code!

[Tom Hagen]

They're 109 fans away, people. Keep your eyes open: this will go down quickly.

[stagefright50]

A sale just when I opened my copies of Senso and Sweet Smell on Tuesday...

Ha! Glad to not be alone on this.

[Tom Hagen]

Also, I just remembered the sweetener: $50 for every $500 you spend.

Dudes, it's going to go down within the next five minutes

[stagefright50]

Dudes, it's going to go down within the next five minutes

Or not...

[knives]

Dudes, it's going to go down within the next five minutes

Criterion's site is at least.

[Tom Hagen]

Haha, exactly!

[stagefright50]

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

Damn, just remembered that orders to NY and KY pay tax. I just can't win here. Might get Renoir's The River anyway. The code is gonna go up on the hour, I bet.

[Tom Hagen]

"WOW! Huge traffic spike is slamming our site. Patience everybody! Promo code coming soon..."

[domino harvey]

I have my cart all ready to go go go

[knives]

Is this going to include the eclipse titles? Might get the Malle docs if so.

[stagefright50]

I hope so. I've got all Eclipse boxes sitting in my cart. Just waiting now. The site is a pain right now.

Refreshing the Facebook page turns up a chuckle among the horrible posts:

FINALLY ABLE TO BUY THOSE LASERDISCS!!!!!!!!

[domino harvey]

I have two questions:
1) what's the code
2) give me the code

[Tom Hagen]

This is going to be the LCD Soundsystem final show ticketing of DVD sales.

[HistoryProf]

well 50,000 seconds is just under 14 hours...so there's no need for the crush. geez.

but i finally have an excuse to use the $10 gc they gave me for one of the fb contests.

Let's not even talk about that.

[HistoryProf]

I have two questions:
1) what's the code
2) give me the code

so they didn't actually post it?

[Tom Hagen]

It's okay, he's going to headline Coachella 2022 with the White Stripes.

Not yet.

[domino harvey]

Probably not the best idea to announce this off the cuff promo right before everyone's out the door and without letting their server know

[stagefright50]

They were definitely not prepared. The little load icon on IE has been spinning on The Honeymoon Killers page for 10 minutes now.

[swo17]

So they haven't posted the code yet, but they did go to the effort of posting "Great song" when someone linked to a video of "Soon" by My Bloody Valentine. Hilarious.
