for homie asking about Godard, try Band of Outsiders, Contempt, Pierrot le Fou and 2 or 3 things I Know About Her...i was big on Godard during my formative years and those were my favorites...i hated his whole political era and most of the things he did after that tho..

Picked up Harakiri today.....was successful again with the $8/40 coupon, so I got if for $9.99+tax :blessed:

I'm going to try at least a couple more times with that deal, just need to make sure I get different employees.

But I'm going back tonight to use the 20% of coupons that expire tonight.....picking up three more titles......:patrice:

Probably Diabolique, Bottle Rocket and Solaris (blind).

Watched Frances Ha and Life of Brian tonight.

Not a full review of either, though I really loved both of them.

The alien spaceship interlude in Life of Brian :bow: funny how influential that little two minute interlude is, from Anchorman to every Family Guy episode ever.

Frances Ha is a lovely little film, in black and white and clearly influenced by Manhattan. It's no Manhattan, of course, but it's good, and I have a soft spot for those millennial 20 something year old person fumbling through life and how you can find profound love through friendship, what the movie really was about. And I guess there are a bunch of French New Wave references, though I suppose I didn't pick up on them, still got that part of Criterion to rummage through.

Nah, it's not even like that lol. I just don't want the awkward, "well this coupon says one time use and you were here yesterday" conversation. It probably wouldn't happen because B&N is legendarily stupid about their own coupons, but I'd rather avoid it lol.

Yo, get a trial membership...print off the $8off$40 coupon....ask the clerk to scan it....boom, Criterion for $10 :merchant:

I picked up City Lights, The Great Dictator and Ace In The Hole yesterday.

If I can continue to get them for only $10, I'll end up with a lot more than I'd planned on lol
breh can you explain this trial membership and $8 off $40.. I don't mean to sound like a moron but i def wanna pick up diabolique if i can get it for $10
