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...

I was also puzzled by this release, but came to the conclusion that it probably makes a lot of sense for libraries and schools. For consumers? Not so much. On top of the reasons mentioned in the article, I like individual releases. I feel like the custom cover art and essay booklets is a lot of what you're purchasing when you drop money on a Criterion. And they fit nicely on my shelves.

Hoping to grab Stagecoach, The Rules of the Game, and Wall-E. There's a good chance I'll also pick up a Hitchcock or Kurosawa film and a documentary as well, pending what my local B&N has in stock.

 

This year's 50% off B&N Summer sale runs through July 28.

I missed Criterion's flash sale earlier this year so I'll probably stock up on this one sometime next week.

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.

Agreed.

I can't say where the line is for what you should turn in

Where the line is drawn in the law seems like a reasonable demarcation: the Treasure Act of 1996.

Boca Raton Bowl:

The officiating in this game is, uh, not good. Both teams kinda getting hosed

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)

Lol, yes.

I haven't been following FCS (other than hearing the NDSU coach bailed on his team for USC during their playoff run). How are things going there?

LA Bowl: the only Boise player that has attempted a pass going into this game is the punter?! That's a crazy factoid

Final fumble count: 13

What a game

Overtime in the New Orleans Bowl!
