This was a great deal for me. Picked up 15 titles I had skipped when released. Saved 20% on the deal as well with some gift cards I had.
I got
Open Range Runaway Jury Lost in Translation Spy Kids 2 Spy Kids 3 Scooby Doo in Mexico Scooby Doo Space Cape Adventure Scooby Doo and the Vampire Piglet's Big Movie Animatrix Radio School of Rock 3 others that I just can't remember, duh.
Checked 2 Hollywood locations, no Pirates OTC :frowning: . Lots of stock on others though. I can't see this sale ending this week as they seem to be loaded with PV stock, several racks at each store.
I picked up Mia Kirshner's Cowboys & Angels (and Matrix3 and a title for my housemate) and as usual was delighted to find that NO ONE RENTS ARTSY OR UNHEARD-OF FILMS, SO THEY NEVER HAVE SCRATCHES!
Matrix was a bit beat up, but plays ok. They had wedged both discs onto one hub of a dvd case though, which momentarily engaged my dvd-nerd circuits.
Went to another franchise, which had discs set up as usual on table tops but also an entire rack of not-so-popular titles lined up spines out. Despite the quantity, there were only a couple of gems in that mix - most notably "Ripley's Game" starring John Malkovich, which was just released a couple weeks ago. If you're a Tom Ripley fan it's worth checking out.
Picked up "Matrix Revolutions," "School of Rock" and "The Quiet American." May go back for "Pieces of April," "Ripley's Game" and "CQ."
BTW, the sign in the window of my local Blockbuster implies that the pre-viewed 2 for $20 is permanent. It said something like "Everyday Savings" on it.
