I can never resist those £3-with-purchase piles at the Fopp counter. Last time I got Kore-Eda's Air Doll and the time before that A Woman Under The Influence. Pretty random selection they come up with.

Got a new 3-CD box set of Ken Russell at the BBC for under $15 a few weeks ago. All I've seen by him are a couple of his wild late films, Altered States and Lair of the White Worm--always assumed I'd hate his famous '70s films. So obviously I just had to have this.

They also had a copy of Gerwig's Lady Bird, but it was just outside my scratched-ness threshold.

Went to another store today and found the Criterion Taste of Cherry. Was excited at first but when I opened it saw that it was very scratched. It was marked as being from the Torrance library and I figured if a library was getting rid of a (likely) popular film it must be unplayable.
