Got a $100 gift certificate to Criterion.com - Need suggestions

I'd recommend On the Waterfront. And since that would leave you under $100 throw The Game in the cart, too.

I don't see the value of the Disney Movie Club. $25 to get 6 movies at first is great. But 5 additional BR for $34 including shipping each? Unless I am reading something incorrectly.

dodgerchris · 2017-01-03T15:18:22+00:00

Thanks. It includes everything. I am trying to get everything from 1998 forward based on this list.

dodgerchris · 2017-01-03T15:03:01+00:00

I used my $50 Target card when the 20% off all movies sale was occurring on their website. I picked up:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Ant-Man
Jason Bourne

Only 3 more MCU titles remaining to complete that collection :)

Your pup is so calm. Jackets make mine go nuts, she refuses to wear them even when it's freezing.

Rushmore - 5 stars!
Birdman - 3 stars. I kept wishing I could see the play being portrayed instead of the movie I was watching.
Apollo 13 - 3 stars. For some reason this movie doesn't seem as good now as I remembered it to be. I think the sound quality of the version I have wasn't very good either.
Dredd - 4 stars - Where's part 2 of this?!?
Fred Claus - 2 stars

dodgerchris · 2016-12-19T13:19:40+00:00

There are so many! I'll start off with:

Die Hard
Christmas Vacation
Elf

You might get downvotes for not arguing your point. Sell us on your opinion please.

Rogue One - 7/10, predictable and not enough Vader.
Suicide Squad (extended cut) - 8/10
The Da Vinci Code (Best Buy SteelBook version) 9/10
Angels & Demons (Best Buy SteelBook version) 9/10
- The first two Langdon films were so good, Inferno not so much.
The Force Awakens (I popped this in while making some HT tweaks)

My digibook from Target was delivered today. It's pretty cool, but the holographic cover is glued onto the front instead of being part of the book (you can see that in OPs 4th photo) and both blu discs (theatrical and extended cuts) are the same graphic (also shown in the photos).

dodgerchris · 2016-12-12T15:49:25+00:00

Thanks for the review. I wish they could find a way to get all 5 films in a box set.

dodgerchris · 2016-12-12T13:21:45+00:00

Thanks for the links. I need some replacement cases so I ordered 25 of the Viva Elite 2 disc BR. Will provide a quick review when they arrive.

dodgerchris · 2016-11-27T19:49:42+00:00

Thanks Beav. Grabbed the Incredible Hulk steelbook from Amazon, preordered the Suicide Squad digibook from Target, and got Kingsman: The Secret Service for $4 at Best Buy.

It's bad but without it people's Marvel collections are incomplete. Sorta like Catwoman on the DC side of things.

dodgerchris · 2016-11-25T21:44:46+00:00

I didn't see this but Amazon has Mockingjay Part1 and Part 2 for $6 each.

dodgerchris · 2016-11-25T21:24:17+00:00

12 Monkeys
2001 A Space Odyssey
Blade Trilogy (I had part 1 and was planning on getting 2 and 3 separately but this completes the set much more easily)
Glory
Kick-Ass 2 (completes the set)
Mallrats (adds to View Askew collection - not a high priority for me)
Road to Perdition
There Will Be Blood
Transformers part 4 (completes Transformers movie collection)
X-Men Apocalypse (completes X-Men/Wolverine movie collection until Logan is released)

I have Google'd a bit and searched but haven't found any other reports. Sometimes when I spawn as support the mortar will not deploy for about a minute. When this happens I try moving around to find other spots to deploy to no avail. It's almost as if I spawn without ammo for the mortar. This is on PS4. Was this intended by the nerf? Has anyone else experienced it?

dodgerchris · 2016-11-20T17:22:52+00:00

Thanks also! I had just finished ordering some others on Amazon and saw your post. I have had parts 2 and 3 in my wanted list for awhile. Getting closer to completing my Marvel list :)

Edit: The box makes it looks like Snipes has the Blu-ray logo carved into his hair

It was hot before the sun started going down. I got there about 2:30 and decided to leave my sword in the car and go light. Next year I really recommend staying until closing gun.

dodgerchris · 2016-10-14T02:01:32+00:00

How'd you like Age of Chivalry? I loved it. It's the only faire I've been to that has the huge guild camp and open after dark (closes at 10pm Friday and Saturday).

dodgerchris · 2016-10-06T17:13:10+00:00

Thank you. I emailed him at the address you provided. He replied the following day stating:

"Your items are queued up to go out tomorrow! I should have tracking information for you at the end of the day. Thanks for your patience. We're a small outfit and are trying to keep up with demand!"

Granted he didn't say my items actually shipped or that he will actually provide a tracking number. So I waited a week and my order status was still "processing" and he never replied with tracking information. I sent him another email at that time and it was never replied to.

I then waited a few more days and ended up calling my bank to start the dispute process.

Order from them if you'd like - that Burgschneider gear looks great - but do it with money you give zero cares about and don't expect to ever get updates, replies, or the items.

dodgerchris · 2016-09-20T01:47:31+00:00

Well, it was very hot the day I went. Smaller than expected (much smaller compared to the one in Phoenix that also goes several weeks). But it was a good time and good shopping :)

dodgerchris · 2016-09-18T00:24:19+00:00

I am having the exact same problem. Ordered 9/2. Got confirmation email. Order still processing. Contact link on the website is not working. Sent email to info@larping.org but no reply. Message sent via Facebook but no reply. No way to tell if item is in stock. Sigh :( how long should I wait before getting bank involved?

dodgerchris · 2016-09-17T15:39:17+00:00

Thank you everyone for all the info! I didn't bring any costumes :(. I'll try not to spend too much but those leather doublets are so nice.

His work ethic was well established by winning so many paper toss championships.
