Criterion Postcards & Booklets

[Matango]

Yeah, I got nothing in Symbio either. In fact I can't remember the last time I got a postcard, and I buy 2 or 3 CCs a month on average, and have collected six cards since they started. Some consistency would be nice.

Now selling:
Two mint condition Contempt postcards (OOP!)
Only $20 each shipped!

Kidding, kidding... although I am a little disappointed at no longer receiving these in new releases. Oh, and I actually would trade those for any spares people have that arent Viridiana, Masculine Feminine or Divorce Italian Style. I am trying to decorate my door, and Criterion really isn't helping.

Or perhaps they were helping, but now they aren't.

I have 25 Criterion releases and only 2 postcards (masculine feminine and divorce italian style), I think I got hosed.

I'd love a Ran postcard if anyone feels like parting with an extra/selling it or something.

smiles of a summer night in my pepe le moko. Looks like back catalogue is the way to go now.

This might be how they do it, so if this is old news, my bad. Anyway, I ordered a Criterion t-shirt and got a postcard of "Fists in the Pocket" with it. Unfortunately, the postcard was a little dinged up from the cheapo packaging that the shirt was sent in, and I had just gotten a "Fists" postcard this last weekend when I bought... "Koko"? I don't remember.

I have an extra INLAND EMPIRE postcard and bumper sticker I picked up at a screening and would like to trade them for a Le Samourai and a Masculin Feminin postcard.

What happened to the postcard promotion? Has it been discontinued?

[Cinesimilitude]

I know it's not postcards, but this is where the joke originated, so It might as well go here.

[Jean-Luc Garbo]

Wow, that's hilarious. I think Bunuel would approve. Too bad that you have go back to the store now.

Seduced and Abandoned inside Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages

Looks like they're sticking to the old releases. It had a new logo Criterion sticker on the cover so I expected to find a postcard waiting inside.

[Jean-Luc Garbo]

I got the Eric Rohmer box set and there was no postcard inside.

Postcards don't come in boxed sets.

I disagree, I got KIND HEARTS in my Rohmer box.

Ah whaaaa?? I thought we were all in agreement that it's old catalog titles only, not the 2007 releases onward?

Lucky you, I've never gotten a postcard in either a boxed set or a 2-disc set; single discs only.

Apparently not. I guess Criterion is going back to including them in new releases.

I got Paul Robeson in La Haine.

Good to see they're including the postcards in new releases.
