Loved the music they used in the intro of the video. They really emphasize the arthouse & collector vibe in everything they do which i appreciate so much.

Got my Double Pack Box today, HUGE thanks to Teddyjun and G:Box. Stunning level of detail throughout. I'll post some of The Fake and the box soon.

Looks amazing! But I'm still fine about passing on it. It's just not the type of film I'm interested in and I'm not OCD when it comes to collections.

 

[Futurhythm]

Looks like I was beaten to the punch with pics. Oh, well. You can never have too many

Woo! Top billing!

Now I just need Blue is the Warmest is the Colour...

This doesn't look like a film thats a keeper for me or that I need to spend $50 bucks on.. but I am torn between saving $$ and keeping the Plain archive collection complete.

All you folks posting the pics of them together are NOT helping.. :shots:

To be honest, if PLAIN didn't put this out I would never have bought this on Blu-ray. It's not a bad movie, but not really something I ever see myself rewatching.

I don't buy movies I don't like or will never watch again, but if PLAIN keeps this up my collecting habits are definitely going to change.

To me the film is always the most important thing. Yes, it does looks cool having a complete set of something sitting on your shelves but to me it's much nicer to look at your shelves and see it filled with awesome movies in the packaging of your choice.

That's just me though...

Totally agree with that statement!

The slip box is without doubt stunning but if the film is not what I like or has major re watch value then I have to let it go. Otherwise I would need an aircraft hanger by the time I was 50 to house everything....

I actually feel the same way and really dont want to buy this one.

However the problem is, if you dont pre-order now - and change your mind about getting this later you'll have to spend double the price to acquire it.

That's IF you're lucky enough to get 1 of the 200.



I have to say, I'm worried about Saturday. Maybe you guys should sit this one out

I understand what your saying.
For me if I were to buy every slip cover/ box that I liked I would end up selling my house and the wife to pay for my habit, addiction......

So I always say what other films do I really want, and that are due to come out. And would I not be better spending my money on them than on a film I have no interest in just for the beautiful packing....
It's hard to pass on items like this which are of such top quality. But at the end of the day I am always glad I did. (Put my money towards a film I really want)
If I couldn't say no to slips like this then it would end up being an addiction that is controlling me and not the other way around....
You just have to go with your instincts when collecting and hopefully your right more than your wrong...

My way of looking at it anyway. I'm sure others will differ.....

Anyway I'm passing on this! Enjoy everyone.....

Thanks so much for the kind words. I think I'll pick this one up just because right now I am not pressed to pay the bills as I move out in October. At that time is prolly when I'll be significantly slowing down and following your strategy.

Or you could put money aside now so that you can contiue to buy when you move.
Why buy something you don't intend to watch when there's so many you do want to watch?

That being said I do kind of understand why you're buying this.

There is absolutely no logic behind my compulsion to buy. I am likely going to think the film is ok, but dont see myself loving it or repeat watching. Plus I dont have the $$ to spend. The only thing that drives it is the need to have a "complete" Plain Archive collection.

So still no pre-order link?

Or will this be up in a couple of hours?

 

[severo]

i was checking several times yesterday, and am starting to wonder too. the site for "blue..." was there several days before preorder started.
