I got an email today from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) telling me that **Miller’s Crossing** is now available for pre-order. I went to the link (see [here](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008RH3L/ref%3Dt%5Fth%5Fem%5Fpo/104-2733223-1395153) and it says that the DVD will be released on May 20, 2003. Yay!! Coen Bros. fans around the world, rejoice!! 😃 ---

Miller’s Crossing made me quit my job, leave my family, put on a hair shirt and wander the countryside preaching the Gospel of Ethan&Joel ---

That’s great news. I’ll always rent a DVD in preference to VHS, and I have yet to see that one, as well as _Blood Simple_. Although youse guys are probably already aware of this website, I’ll post it here just in case. [Video Library](http://www.vlibrary.com/vlibrary/), which used to be known as Home Film Festival, is an awesome source of hard-to-find films if your local Block Bastard just isn’t up to snuff. A poster here on the Board, may his name be ever blessed even though I can’t remember it, clued me in to these guys. Since I’ve been using them, I’ve seen any number of alternative, foreign, indie and other elusive films. If you go to this site, you’ll see they have a nice selection of Coen Brothers films, including _Blood Simple_ on DVD, which will be included in my next order. ---

Another woo-hoo from me; I got the same e-mail and was about to post this exact same thread but Jadis beat me to it. And **pugluvr** – definitely check out _Blood Simple_, as soon as you can. Great, great movie. And the commentary track is definitely worth a listen, too – very insightful. ---

Wah-hoooo! I have literally been waiting over 5 years for that email I got today. It’s my favorite movie ever. I am thinking of buying 5-10 copies and giving them to friends who might appreciate the film. (“Always put one in the brain!”) ---

I had a friend that had a bit part in Miller’s Crossing toward the end of the movie, if I recall correctly. He’s dressed up like a gangster, holding Gabriel Byrne’s arms behind him as he (Byrne) gets beaten up.
