I just bit on the (ugh) SW discs... sense my excitement. I purchased from CC because of the price. They had stacks of lithos for each movie so I grabbed one of each. I'm sure I could have grabbed more, but didn't. Then a the front register there was a trilogy promo sign that they had a few of sitting out, so I asked if I could have one. I left with a bunch of things for my kid who's only three... In like five years he'll love it! (yeah right)


BTW has anyone ever found a great "bonus" for purchasing at one store. Most of the extra discs I've seen are basically crap. And the other stuff just sits on a shelf collecting dust. Hardly a good argument for hitting any one store. Plus, I think my wife would like less crap around the house...

 

[Mike Frezon]

Well said.

About the only bonus discs I think are really worth making the effort for are those with decent supplemental material--ie: documentaries, extra TV episodes, or things which should already be included as part of the set...for EVERYONE to enjoy and appreciate!

 

[RickER]

That Women of Bond disc from a few years back was pretty good, as far as "bonus" discs go.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

How many releases of Grease does this make now. I could swear this is at least the third.

 

[Malcolm R]

Perhaps the music industry has just taken a page from the playbook of the movie industry regarding double dipping.

I've been in several stores the past coupla weeks: Borders, Circuit City, Best Buy, Target, Wal-Marts.....and I still have not seen a single copy of Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Has anyone?

This is not a huge issue for me...but I've been wanting to see what this movie was all about. I have a fair recollection of the 70s TV show "When Things Were Rotten" and am wondering if there's any similarity/connection.

 

[TravisR]

I saw it at the Best Buy in my area but it was later in the week so I don't know if it was there on release day.

Mike:

I LOVED "WTWR"!!!! I think it was the last REALLY funny stuff that Mel Brooks did, IMHO. If I'm not mistaken, RH:MIT was released after the TV show ended, but was basically in the same vein (with some of the same actors if my memory serves me well...)

 

[Harold Wazzu]

The Field of Dreams bonus disc from Wal-mart that was offered with the newer release. It had that great hour-long featurette from the previous release (I think, or maybe from the LD?) but wasn't on the newer release except for the bonus disc.

 

[RickER]

Ive seen the Robin Hood disc out, at BB. Now the Young Frankenstein disc is another story. Not at BB, CC, Target or Borders in my area.

 

[Chris S]

I too never found Young Frankenstein. Guess I'll put it on my DDD list and wait for their next sale.
