FYI Criterion is doing a sale on blurays and 4K discs for the next week

Only some of the movies have 4K options:

Just a moment...

And the prices only go down from "sticker shock" to "huh well, maybe" but they did go down. And Blurays are cheaper

Things that stood out to me:

Yi Yi

Point Blank (Parker novel in a blender)
https://www.criterion.com/films/32290-point-blank

Anora ("Sean Baker makes a Safdie film")

Flow ("Blender, The Movie")

Note: This is a 30% off sale and sometimes they do 50% off sales so maybe you're better off waiting for that or maybe there will be no 50% off sales until black friday I have literally no idea? https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4jtya4doubazmmupujznvptt/post/3meysm46jik2e

@mcc The Criterion subreddit posted a guide that's continuously updated on when's the next 50% off sale.

Expect the next flash sale in mid-March:

@mcc I’m not sure if the prices end up in a similar spot after shipping, but for a Canadian distributor who also participates in the sale, check out unobstructedview.com

[squibbles@hachyderm.io]

@mcc Also note that for Canadians there is a Canadian distributor that usually follows along the same sale schedule/titles https://unobstructedview.com/

@mcc Why is this UI so upsetting to me?

[marshray@infosec.exchange]

@mcc Thanks for the tip!

I’m not sure the *Seven Samurai* original print had 4K worth of information, but it’d be good to get a copy before the coming AI-powered dark age.

@griotspeak the weird paging, you mean?

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

@mcc Yes and the fact that going back to list starts the paging over again

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

@mcc And ¿filtering?

Ooh ty, gotta look at my media wishlist, see what I'm still missing.

Physical media rules in my house.
