The last Flash Sale I managed to catch was two years ago, so I'm picking up a lot in this one:

  • Bicycle Thieves (1948)
  • All That Heaven Allows (1955)
  • Summertime (1955)
  • The Burmese Harp (1956)
  • Chungking Express (1994)
  • No Country for Old Men (2007)
  • WALL-E (2008)
  • Flow (2024)

Most excited about Burmese Harp, as I genuinely thought it would never get upgraded from DVD as it's somewhat obscure (but sooo good). Also looking forward to Flow, which is a blind buy, but so many people have recommended it to me.

    I won't hold my breath but I will be keeping an eye on this. I had been eligible for a HPI visa and fully intended to apply, but life got in the way while I was saving up and the clock ran out.

    I'm a licensed architect in the states and the only thing keeping me from becoming a chartered architect via reciprocity is it requires a visa. It's tough convincing a company to sponsor me via the skilled worker route because I'm not already chartered. Kind of a chicken-and-egg scenario. So this visa route would genuinely help people like me.

    Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It's not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it's one of my dad's favorite movies. Never really understood why it's so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)

    Ah, I missed it again! And just by a few hours. Is there some kind of mailing list or something to sign up for to find out when this happens? Since I gave up Reddit and YouTube I am way out of the loop on these things. Would have picked up several titles too, since it's been a couple years...

    This is a shame, but it's understandable. Just as long as they don't cut back on what they carry online. They have a fantastic online selection which the stores never really matched. Some of their sales made it possible to grab Criterion blu rays for cheaper than the 50% off sales at B&N.

    I missed the kickoff of the Independence Bowl and am bummed I missed Cal scoring. Hopefully there's lots of points and the Red Raiders lose (I probably won't be staying up for the end of this one)
