I went to buy the Strokes new album today. Just popped by the Criterion dvd section first, out of habit. Lo and behold, sitting in front of me, is the double-disc Knife In The Water. But it's got a weird price tag on it. It reads $36. Fucking great!!! They priced the bugger wrong, so I just snapped up KITW for that paltry sum!!!! Finally something goes right today.


So, um, anybody else have any great luck dvd finds (misprices I mean, not like the thread about the really great bargains...). If not, just join in on my current happiness...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

$36 Canadian.

On deep discount the exchange rate would come to $40, plus I'd have to pay for shipping.

So yeah, it's a killer deal. It's $55 on Amazon.ca

I was in a Barnes and Noble with a really extensive Criterion section, but it was just the Foreign section. There were other Criterions elsewhere.

Didn't know you lived in Canada, but I see how $36 was a good deal now.  Cool beans!

Yea yea, same with me. Borders is like that too. They're like the only two places that I even bother checking for criterions.

I got Royal Tenenbaums Criterion on DVD used, in perfect condition with all the stuff for 9.99.

I can't be too cocky, it's my only criterion.
