OK, I just called Evergreen. They said they did have the new Kenneth Anger and two out of three of The Magic Lantern Cycle (somebody absconded with the other one).

well thx all. btw, I just got back from TLA and they're selling most of their DVD stock for $8. I got the Criterion Wages of Fear for $9.99 then stopped for my own good.

like all the Cassavetes is gone except Gloria and maybe A Child Is Waiting, but the more rarefied yr interests, the better you'll do.

caught the tail-end of today's DVD blowout. a lot of stuff is gone already but i managed to snag queen christina and the criterion trouble in paradise for something like 17 dollars! (they're open until 5 tomorrow and closed for good after that)

good work, dude. They were saying they might be open Wednesday if there isn't an ice storm.

I stood in line for a while at TLA yesterday and when I got to the register all three movies I wanted were nowhere to be found. Sadness! Touchez Pas Le Grisbi , indeed.

I can't believe TLA closed! I haven't been in there for a few weeks, but this seems totally out of the blue (or as out of the blue as a videostore closing can be at this point).

yeah, if NYC can't support such a store...?

Colin: Kim's or Evergreen? TLA had a free year's membership flyer for World of Video on Greenwich.

hey, TLA is still selling off shit! open Saturday (tomw) noon-6! Dunno if that's last day.

Went into Evergreen and World of Video, kinda whelmed. :(
