Ok, so... Long long time reader but rare posting anything and I'm gonna finally get into putting in my $0.02 worth on posts every so often, and where better to start than my beloved Criterion Sale thread... To make up for lost time, since I've now kept track on my new phone, hehe.... July...

Only one that never gets watched, and purposefully so... I own Criterion's Salo for only the sheer rareness of it and have no desire to actually see what has already been described to me....

Strangely enough, my experiences from yesterday... The employees at Best Buy gave me the white vinyl edition of Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. II with my purchase of (not The Wall) Some Kind of Monster, the Metallica doc... Then, at the register, it was not 29.99, but 19.99, and the...

I'd give big thumbs up to three of them - ALL can be found very cheaply too... 61* (Billy Crystal directed) The Tuskegee Airmen (stars Laurence Fishbourne) and my personal favorite... Soul of the Game (story of integration into Major League Baseball - OUTSTANDING!!!)

Ok, I'm at work and should be *ahem* working, but I just picked it up this morning and read the issue over lunch... For the perusal of all, here's a quick&dirty version of their list, usually minus the comments... Keep in mind, they were in no particular order specified - I'm typing them as the...

Ok, this is getting REALLY frustrating... The habit of releasing all films together in box sets without the option of seperate purchases... I have no interest in 3 & 4, and only minor interest in number 2... Group this whole *%&#$!@ thing along with Back to the Future as a favorite I won't...

Strangely enough, as big a SW freak as I am, I own copies of the original uncut Droids TV series and I'm a bit ho-hum on this release already after anticipating it for so long. But 2004 has given me a few things already, and some still to come, that I'm probably more excited about than the...

I don't generally count my extras disks as 'movies'... BUT (there's always an exception)... I've got a couple of disks I picked up used from box sets that I DO consider in my counting. For example, I own the JFK 2 disk edition, NBKillers Director's Cut SE, and some other Oliver Stone...

This seemed to be the only thing ever on HBO back in the mid 80's when that was the big novelty - My grandfather was the only one to have HBO in a town of about 1500 people and TLOBJ was on a seemingly endless loop... I'd buy it in a heartbeat too...!!! Fair is fair

Ok, I don't see the Shirt Tales on there... Maybe I'm blind, but I'd love to have Rick, Pam, Bogey, Digger and the crew on DVD, for old times sake... They were the reason I lost the innocence of my youth. I discovered the little stuffed versions of these guys in a big plastic bag when I was...

I can't believe nobody else has mentioned being just a tad disturbed by 5 stills of "puppet porn" and the likely-fall-down-hilarity of the Seth Green/Greg spoofing on Willie Tanner and ALF.... Bring on Tardie and Warren!!! blah...:p)

Thanx much, Christopher... I just had a Good Eats thread discussing the DVDs here a while ago and had also been thinking about this set. I've seen the episodes themselves and DID like them. But, in your opinion, is the extra judging part and 'making of' worth the $11-14 per episode type...

Yakko: Hey, look at this store! Wakko: There's movies galore! Dot : We've seen 'em a thousand times over before YW+D : And that's why our brains don't work anymore! Yakko: "The Player" is a movie About finding fresh new scripts Like "Rambo 3"... And "Rocky 5"... And "Star Trek" Number...

Not a huge fan of $40 a Day, but I have caught myself watching it occasionally for two reasons: #1 - Rachel Ray - Yup, she's a cutie and so bubbly and sweet... #2 - I feel like this can almost be a show that is the bastard child of Food Network and the Travel Channel. When visiting Paris...

Deeply saddened by the news earlier today about Mr. Brando's passing. Just making me think about how much I still enjoy most of his films in my collection... So, for some of the Brando uninitiated (both of you), I'd suggest everyone watch "On the Waterfront"... Great SE of it came out a...

I know I'm not the only Good Eats/Alton Brown devotee out there. Ok, now before everybody chimes in that they're already out on DVD, I know this. BUT, there are quite a few 'foodies' and fans of the show who aren't purchasing these based on the cost and quantity/schedule of shows included...

When they removed this from the release schedule before, I nearly wept. Almost like I usually end up doing at that last '...Superman...' in the film itself... I've truly died and gone to heaven... In less than a month's time (Sept7-Oct5), I'll have... Hitch Collection Star Wars OT...

This was a guarantee for my collection before it was even released. I lived in Dubuque, Iowa (having grown up very near Dyersville itself) and they actually closed down my street at one point for filming. My apartment door is one of the doors as Ray looks along for the first door with out a...

The best: Jonah: A Veggietales Movie (in character commentary) This is Spinal Tap (another in character commentary) The Usual Suspects Traffic: Criterion Collection ALL PIXAR FILMS (not a bad one in the bunch - Super-genius, they are!) Citizen Kane (Ebert) Casablanca (Ebert)...

Ok, gotta jump in here... Two quick things... #1 - My local BBuy, like most every single other retail place out there, has great employees who are knowledgeable and care about the customer. They also have people with jobs they could care less about, because Mom doesn't feel like paying their...

Ok, Mr. Lutter, WOW....... Impressive collections there, especially the Roman Holiday and Big Blue sets, but... I actually choked on my Clif Bar when I scrolled to the Cinema Paradiso set - HOLY ****!!!!!!! Um, can I give somebody my firstborn for that thing!!! I actually had tears coming...

I've 'thinned the flock' recently of a lot of those titles that were purchased because of some childhood attachment, but there are still a few floating around and some that I will probably still get... Still have - Private Eyes, Don Knotts/Tim Conway comedy - Watched a thousand times when I...

That's the one!!! FYI, no longer dancing naked, but still very happy... :D

Just saw on Davis that June 29th will have a release for one of my last remaining 'grails'.... The History of Rock and Roll - the 10 episode series that I've been holding onto my VHS copy of for years, will be on five DVDs... No major specs on full frame (as it was made for TV originally) or...

Ok, a few things... As REM fan #1 and a true distiple from way back, there are quite a few good DVD compilations of their video work and seperate live shows available... Honestly, they've done a great job keeping lots of stuff out there, so no real complaints... Preordered the new Weezer...

Both still here - Check out the "Frank and Ollie" DVD from Disney... It used to be a theme-park-only purchase title, but just released it wide a few months back... This and the "Walt" DVDs are both excellent bios of some of the originators at the studio... Love how, even without a name...

It's been reported from the Disney meetings that this will officially be the next title to follow October's Aladdin in the Disney Platinum line!!! WOO HOO!!! Very happy about this one... I had Cinderella down as what would probably be next, but I'm just as glad to have this coming. :D

A few minorly embarassing moments... Purchasing a $4.99 copy of "From Justin to Kelly" as a gag X-mas gift for a friend... He had actually paid a full $9.50 to see it in the theatre and is still one of the most insane things he's ever done... I spoke loudly while at the register of how it was...

I, also, don't HATE Michael... Sure, he can be a bit whiney, but most of my friends can as well, and they're still my friends... And I agree wholeheartedly with John - I thought season 3 actually improved on season 2 quite a bit... The acting and storyline for Peter Paige (Emmitt) was...

For all my feelings, see JoshB's comment above... Yup, the simple Seabiscuit art was tasteful and done really well... I wish other studios would take that lead and follow this great example. I loved the film, will be getting the DVDs as a no-brainer, but will be checking out other possible...
