A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
–Robert DeNiro as Neil McCauley(Heat – 1995)
Whew, this movie business is tough. I might just have to go back to loan-sharking for a while to get some vacation.
–John Travolta as Chili Palmer (Get Shorty – 1995)

Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed advertisements, the Sunday of the week of release (so as to catch any week-of-release sale prices). All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price. If a price is marked "$_N/A_" in the grid, it means that this title is not shown as available on that chain's website or perhaps in their ads...but it COULD still be in-stores!
$_"LP" means the advertisement says "Low Price", and $_"HP" means the advertisement says "Hot Price". Use of either of these in the Roundup grid indicates that I could not locate a definite price for the item, and the ad is all I have to go on. Retailers use these phrases in advertisements so that they do not violate MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements with the studios. Doing so can cost them thousands or even millions of dollars in co-op advertising funds.
I only include the titles I feel like including (or the ones Dave tells me he's looking for ;o)). In fact, the titles are pretty much the ones I'm personally interested in, with few exceptions. I don't get paid for this, and I don't have time to devote to doing every DVD. So, please don't complain. If there is a title not included in the Roundup that you want to see, just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone...like Dave & I do!
Note that Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii. Also note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the standard Roundup: they set prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is not a way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. When it comes to Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices mentioned at all, just remember that "Your Mileage May Vary".
**BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! I Heart Huckabees is available in both a 1-disc and 2-disc (SE) version... get the correct one.
Also, in THIS THREAD, Gord Lacey tells us that even though the Stripperella discs say "uncensored" in the title, they are, indeed, quite censored...and out of order.
--Amazon is still featuring free shipping on orders over $25. Restrictions apply.
--Both Best Buy and Circuit City are offering on their copies of the Get Shorty SE a bonus on-pack movie ticket for the Get Shorty sequel Be Cool in theaters Friday, March 4 (value up to $10.50) At Best Buy, minimum 14 per store. No rainchecks.
--Best Buy is also offering deals on the season sets of South Park. Buy 2, Save $10. Buy all 5, save $75! Seasons 1, 2 & 5 = $29.99 apiece. Seasons 3 & 4 = $39.99 apiece. If you buy all five sets… $30+$30+$40+$40+$30=$170. $170-$75=$95 for the five South Park season sets. $95/5=$19.00 per set! That’s an excellent deal!  Math courtesy of Frezon Lousy Math, Inc.
--Best Buy is also offering 10% off any regular priced anime DVD with the purchase of any one of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, The Cat Returns, or Porco Rosso.

[rant]The Agony and The Ecstasy [/rant] for me. As if you wouldn't have guessed it already.
Looks like the B&M will sell it at list price. At least the list price is cheap. Would you bargain with your pontiff?

All right, Dennis & George:
Lets see how much interest there is on the ol' Weekly RoundUp this week for The Agony and the Ecstasy and Twentieth Century.
There's actually quite a few interesting catalog titles seeing a release this week. But, I hope those two are appreciated by the gang here.
 
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Thanks, as always, Mike. I had not heard of that Nat. Geo. Tsunami disc. After seeing it in your post I searched for info on it, and found out DDD has it for just $9.58 shipped - more than 50% off MSRP! I'll have to pick that one up. Other than that, it's Heat SE and South Park S5 for me this week.
