Barnes and Noble need to realise that the youtubers are bringing more people to their Criterion sales by videoing hauls. They need to see it as free advertising.
ah yes, because respectfully recording and promoting THEIR products in an empty physical media section … WITH A PUBLISHED AUTHOR … is the end of the world
Don’t they know how entertaining you guys are? At any rate you were very nice and respectful to him when he asked you to stop recording, and props for that. Edited to add: Grace and I have the same taste in movies! Love that Mean Girls burn book 4K!
I wish the team at your nearest store were more supportive and understanding as you’re bringing custom to their business and promoting their products. You guys are the best, every video uplifts me so much. Thanks also Grace and John for appearing as well…I also just picked up the Elio Petri film for a Black Friday sale 👍🏻
I think that store employee saw John and thought to himself, "Oh, there's that guy who thinks Flight of the Phoenix is boring. I'm going to tell them they can't film in here." But seriously, John I agree with John regarding Matewan. It's an outstanding film you should strongly consider getting. And I have both of those TCM books John gave you. I'm a sucker for that type of genre-focused book, and those two are excellent examples. Finally, I bought Happiness this month and liked it. However, I can certainly understand how many viewers might be put off or even highly offended by the subject matter. It especially might land differently for people with small children.
wish i had more than 1 barnes and noble by me. i’ve been trying to find the parallax view and the vanishing for like 10 years now lol. i refuse to order criterion’s online 😅
@@chiefchimp2789literally no idea 😭 i checked my barnes and noble over and over but they never got it. im hoping criterion gets it eventually but probably won’t happen lol. also need them to release silence on 4k.
@ im pretty picky when it comes to what i like to physically own. which means there aren’t TOO many criterions on my wish list. if i was to just buy them all online, i could probably finish my list in a single sale. plus i enjoy the hunt. i went to nyc and found george washington which eluded me for like 5 years haha. i might break down and grab a few online though.
I own that exact 4k of Mean Girls too,. Grace, there's a behind the scenes book on the makng of Mean Girls. " So Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls (And Why We're Still So Obsessed with It" The book has a lot of interesting material and behind the scenes" photos that you may enjoy.
So silly of them!! Y'all were having a fun time and wasn't bothering anyone. If anything these videos makes people want to go out to there Barnes and Noble and buy some Criterions which makes the stores more $$$.
It's not like they're recording people in that store. Idk why corporates think recording something in a store, even if they're not recording people, is bad. 🤦
You should check out Matewan. Love that film, it's definitely Sayles' best & I say that as someone who loves a number of his. Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion is a unique film that takes some interesting directions, definitely a solid pick-up.
@@stimpy2695 Same. Still have my ticket stub. The audience reaction to the film was hysterical. Lots of confused faces leaving the theater that evening.
$120 plus for apu films? What da heck. I have the apu movies on DVD for about £5 ($7 approx) They must be kidding -$100 plus for that box set! Hee hee:) Nice video. Happy 2024 Christmas everyone:)
Nice criterion hunting, your store has a lot of different titles that my store has never seen. That was rude of them to tell you to stop filming. Seems like they are actively trying to go out of business, this is not at all hard to accomplish, they may get their wish, sad. Thanks again for the video, I'll go tomorrow. Cheers!
Not allowing people to film is a corporate thing, since they don't know what kind of video you're making. They don't want to take any risks. They just don't know how wonderful you guys all are! I've worked in a Blockbuster once and I would turn a blind eye if someone filmed unless they were being disruptive like the teens who had stolen all the letters from the theater sign across the street and were filming themselves making cuss words on the floor. The one criterion you did get has immediately entered my wishlist!
@@AVAPopCulture No they don't. It's private property and them denying you the ability to video tape in the store is not federally protected right. If you think a store has to have every single possible rule posted then not sure where you are getting that info.
@@AVAPopCulture No - there are hundreds of things you can't do in a store. Are they going to list them all? People just need to use common sense when they are in someone else's home or business.
@vlcheish this is literally from the law on the books in the state of georgia...I encourage you to go to the Film Georgia website...her is an excerpt What you can film You can film things that are clearly visible in public spaces, such as federal buildings, transportation, and government officials. You can also film in many public settings, such as grocery and other retail stores, parking lots, and parks.
@@AVAPopCulture You can't have sex at a sporting event and last I check there isn't a NO SEX ALLOWED printed on the back of your sporting event ticket. No they don't have to have it posted. For example they you can't play drums in Barnes and Noble despite them not posting that its forbidde. There are some businesses where you can do it like a music store. I can't believe im even debating this with you.
Tbf I'd prefer it if people asked to film in my store rather than just assume that it's okay, it's private property and there are others around who may not wish to feature in a video. I'm even talking about people coming in back in the days of camcorders. I've never kicked anyone out but if I let someone film a TH-cam video I've got to let the kids record their annoying tiktoks.... I'm just trying to work :D
Why do you always bey 4K. I have a 4K tv, me beamer is not 4K. But i think without 4K the movie are also great. And you can get Every movie. If you look a movie at some one Els, thats not have 4K is that not frustrading? I don,t think 4K is my money wurd
What are you trying to say? I’m going to guess English is not your first language, which is fine, but you have a LOT of spelling errors all over the place. As for the comments being addressed? Criterion 4K releases are only $5 more than their bluray counterparts and they include the bluray in the release itself. For me, if there is a film I don’t already own. I will always go for the 4K option from Criterion. It’s not that much more in cost. But I still very much will buy blurays of any release that does not have a 4K version. Not to mention of course it’s higher quality video. What’s so bad about buying 4Ks?
I can speak english wel, but not in messages. So indead it,s not my First language. There is nothing wrong with buying 4K. i whas curious what is so goed About 4K. And is it a big differents than a boy ray?
@@beaw806 It's really up to the person and their set up. A lot of casual film viewers are fine with any medium, because they're more interested in the content than how it's presented, or desired to be presented, by the film maker. For some technical cinephiles they are trying to pump as much detail and quality out of the source material as possible to get back to the original intent of the film. For some 4k gets them closer to that intent. However, there have been situations where upgrades to 4k don't live up to the quality that is possible. If you're happy with a film just because of the content and don't care on the medium, then moving to the latest version (4k) isn't a big deal. People need to avoid saying "upgrade to 4k" because not all 4k releases are "upgrades" to a previous release in a lower format.
I buy 4k for my new purchases, I try not to re-buy things I already own unless the Blu Ray has a bad transfer. That can get extremely expensive and is a slippery slope.
You didn’t do anything wrong. You weren’t disruptive. You weren’t causing a scene. I don’t understand the obsessiveness behind stores not wanting any filming in them of any kind. You are purely just promoting their store and products that they sell. It’s free promotion. Just strange behavior from corporate. Personally, as someone who’s worked customer service jobs before. I typically will turn a blind eye to filming rules if the person is not being annoying about it, despite being told otherwise. I guess this employee didn’t get that memo. My guess is he just started there and wanted to do his job well and kicking people out for filming on the surface does look good I guess. I dunno. Don’t be thrown off by this or deterred from making more videos in your current format style.
So, I agree that its basically free promotion but from what a manager once told me at another store (not B&N), they are concerned with people filming for future thievery.
The person who told you guys you’re not allowed to record sounded like a whiny brat. Personally, I love watching your videos and seeing what you pick up so keep it going! 🎉😊
Barnes and Noble need to realise that the youtubers are bringing more people to their Criterion sales by videoing hauls. They need to see it as free advertising.
The politest "kicked out" I've ever seen.
ah yes, because respectfully recording and promoting THEIR products in an empty physical media section … WITH A PUBLISHED AUTHOR … is the end of the world
Published author who probably could find his name on a shelf somewhere on that store 😅
Oh no here comes the fun police 😭 😂
Happiness is an utterly effed up movie
Don’t they know how entertaining you guys are? At any rate you were very nice and respectful to him when he asked you to stop recording, and props for that.
Edited to add: Grace and I have the same taste in movies! Love that Mean Girls burn book 4K!
Wow, I watched this video in its entirety yesterday before it was pulled. I wonder what happened?
I just filmed in that same store, but I will have to be more careful when I return in a few days.
I wish the team at your nearest store were more supportive and understanding as you’re bringing custom to their business and promoting their products.

Pickup on South Street is the best!
I was at that 35mm House screening at the Belcourt. Didnt get the Sam Smyth poster though. In hindsight I wish I had
these cover arts are getting better and better 😂
@@elivincent3795 Haha, thanks. I had fun with this one
It’s cool, Grace, I also picked up that 4K of Mean Girls when it came out. Such a cool slip cover!

also, im so jealous of your “bringing out the dead” find a couple videos back … that 4k is going for insane prices online smh

A great Double bill with "Citizen" would be watching it with "So Dark the Night" that I can recommend. 👍
Great vid! How many titles do you guys own?
Barnes & noble just opened in my town, grand opening in black Friday. I stopped by the had no movie's.
It's not like they're recording people in that store. Idk why corporates think recording something in a store, even if they're not recording people, is bad. 🤦
I guess they don't like competition lol

The greatest film ever made - Mulholland Dr. - was right there...
I saw it in the theater!
@@stimpy2695 Same. Still have my ticket stub. The audience reaction to the film was hysterical. Lots of confused faces leaving the theater that evening.
Come on D.J buy that Rohmer boxset!!!!
Lone Star and Matewan are Sayles's only films in the collection at the time of this video.
Bound awesome
you ever list criterions you regret buying>?
You guys should do a Thanksgiving or Christmas double bill of 1984 and Brazil. Dystopian for the holidays!
I’m gonna have to pickup something on this sale 😭😭 but like.. the budget. 😩
New mission: I'm going to start hanging out at nearby B&N stores near the Criterions and wait for you all to show up.
Your home is gorgeous
@@nikkix2896 thank you!

Nice video.
Happy 2024 Christmas everyone:)
I didn't know Investigation of a Citizen came in that big Dual-format edition. Mine isn't like that.
They discontinued dual-format editions so now they're in the typical plastic cases. I believe the same thing happened to Breaking the Waves.
I follow several booktubers who constantly record in barnes&noble with no problem...the staff even participate in the videos
Which B& N is this. I’m GA based
This was west Cobb!
Wow my B&N only had 15 movies. smh I picked up Bound Why are my stores so pathetic?
