They're pretty good, but none are of Daisies quality. My second-favorite film from the set is probably Pearls of the Deep. I've met some people who like The Joke and A Report on the Party and Guests a bunch, but those two don't really do it for me. Of course you can get Milos Forman's Loves...

My bad--it doesn't say that you can't get it in stores on the site. That either means A) I'm crazy, B) it did say that, but they changed it (before just now, I last checked yesterday), or C) both A&B.

The Atlus page about the pre-order for the game implies that you'll only be able to get the premium edition through Amazon, Amazon.ca, gamestop.com, ebgames.ca, and videogamesplus.ca.  I hate both Amazon and Gamestop, so decided to give VGP a shot--after shipping (I live in the U.S.) and the...

I was happy to grab both A Separation and Midnight in Paris for half off in the non-Criterion art house side of this sale. A Separation especially; I hadn't seen it much cheaper than $25 since its release, but was $18 before membership discounts and the like here.

Cool about pre-orders working online (for now, at least)--I just pre-ordered the blu-ray Qatsi Trilogy set. I love those movies, and I bet they'll look (and sound) gorgeous on blu-ray, and I'm anxious to get them, too, as I already sold my non-Criterion DVDs of them in anticipation of this...

From what I've seen, people are just speculating at this point. To further complicate things, all of the Targets around me have a tendency to throw the slipcovers away (they won't fit in their blu-ray keepers if they keep them on), so even if A) there are coupons on the front and B) Target will...

Amazon price matched, finally. Just ordered The Secret World of Arietty and Whisper of the Heart for $37.98 total. If it works out to where further tomfoolery can be pulled at Target, I'll probably still have time to cancel--I just got Super Saver shipping, and they haven't been shipping on or...

On Amazon under product details it will say "Discontinued by manufacturer: Yes," though it says this just at the point that the manufacturer isn't going to make any more; depending on the game a lot of times copies are still floating around for sale new long after that point. Sort-of...

This game's officially out of print now, too, so if you want it I wouldn't keep waiting for a better price (though now that I've said that one will probably come up).

I bought it in store the day after it came out with no problem. They had maybe four of them when I was there.

Have you seen Secret Sunshine already? It's great; I have it preordered at Amazon for $25.99, because me waiting for November for it is not going to happen. Lee Chang-dong's newer movie, Poetry, is almost as good, and is being released by Kino the same day that Criterion is releasing Secret...

Here's a code for you: MD-PWR-TRP

I second Le Cercle Rouge as the best of the three, but I also second that all three are good (I own them all).

Mine came in the mail today, and while I haven't gotten to actually play the game much yet, man am I happy with it. Specifically the whole package--I don't recall ever being so pleased with just the presentation of the game. The book is gorgeous, and it also comes with a separate index, the...

I've seen it and didn't much like it. I've also read the book, which is better, but not my favorite among classic Japanese fiction. That said (about the movie), I'm not always a big fan of Kon Ichikawa--I like Fires on the Plain and Tokyo Olympiad, but don't really like The Burmese Harp or The...
