You're impunging their integrity by dropping them to New Yorker's level.

Sorry genius, you don't have to get sentimental over this issue. I really don't care who's who, I'm getting this disc weather is New Yorker, Criterion, of Facets. Case closed!

I Am Cuba has been pushed back a month to November 20, which explains why it didn't ship out today.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2007 2:21 pm**

Based on the e-mail I just received from Amazon.com, The Freethinker is apparently being delayed until March. Can anyone else confirm this?

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2007 4:05 pm**

The latest from my source at New Yorker:

The Freethinker - November 6

Edvard Munch SE - November 13

Absolute Wilson - November 20

No word on the Watkins boxed set.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2007 4:29 pm**

I just received an email from Amazon.com with an updated shipping estimate for the Watkins box of between Nov. 29 and Dec. 13.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2007 9:36 pm**

And Freethinker to be delivered in April of 2008.

Packed in cedarwood for extra flavor, rolled in connecticut shade leaf wrapper.

It actually is an extremely attractive pak.

Another email from Amazon.com.

The item(s) listed below will actually ship sooner than we originally expected:

Peter Watkins (Director) "The Cinema of Peter Watkins" [DVD] Estimated arrival date: 11/26/2007 - 12/03/2007

A few weeks ago Amazon.com e'mailed me to approve a delay to an April date for The Freethinker. I received it today. We can say they "shipped it sooner than originally expected."

lol Killer of Sheep's been pushed back a week to November 20.

Posted: **Sun Nov 18, 2007 1:31 pm**

The Peter Watkins set has been out a few days now, anyone seen any reviews or got any reports?

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 4:46 am**

just got a shipping notice for Killer of Sheep so I guess New Yorker ran out of time to delay it another couple of weeks.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 4:56 am**

I received Killer of Sheep from Amazon.ca on Wednesday and the Watkins box just shipped today from Amazon.com.

Yes, and my copy has already been shipped.

nevermind, i didn't realize that amazon just had this under "Killer of Sheep" whenever I searched for Charles Burnett Collection nothing else came up.

So we have a new nomination for worst DVD packaging of the year in Killer of Sheep: the discs are housed in cardboard sleeves, not tabs, attached to a thin piece of cardboard inside another thin piece of cardboard slipcover. If you've ordered a recent K Records album, you have some idea of the packaging here, only it's worse. 100X #-o

EDIT: photo proof:

And don't let anything sit on top of the sleeve or else it is easily crushed. (Obviously the post office did just that as my copy was so flattened I was worried about the discs inside, which were luckily uninjured.)

EDIT: Love that "Lolita" is on top of the pile of Dom's books.

Holy smokes, it is, how could you tell from the 2% of the book showing?!
