Thanks for the tip, Mike. I have another CC location to check out tonight for the SNL commercial parodies, but if they haven't got FTETTM, I'll keep my eyes peeled at Costco and Sam's. Thanks again. |

Why is that?

Because the bargain bins are about getting rid of excess inventory, and that's what that excess inventory happens to be (whether because they ordered high on crop-o-vision or more people are buying the proper version).
Jay's Movie Blog - A movie-viewing diary.
Transplanted Life: Sci-fi soap opera about a man placed in a new body, updated two or three times a week.
Trading Post Inn - Another gender-bending soap, with different collaborators writing different points of view.

"What the hell religion are you people?" - Overheard during the Captain Marvel serial at SF/29

Boy. I wish I knew the answer to that...
Either way, I would think that would serve as an indicator to studios/retailers that they are over-exaggerating the interest in MAR'd films.
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!

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007
I found quite a few titles at Target not in the circular:
Beneath: $19.99
The Salon: $19.99
Flash Gordon: $19.99
Disturbia: $29.99 (both Blu-ray and HD)
Also, they have the Planet Earth set in both BR and HD on a featured endcap for $84.99 each. Saw some of the Elvis stuff, 8 Simple Rules, Full House and a few more, but didn't get the prices...
Flash Gordon I'll pick up once it hits the bargain bins...

I went to 2 Costco stores and neither had From the Earth. Fortunately I was able to pick it up at Circuit City. |

Sorry, Hein. Glad you found one. I saw one just this week at my local BJs Wholesale Club.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007
Stopped by Best Buy on Tuesday for the 3-disc King Kong and 4 buck Fargo. I also grabbed Roger Rabbit. Great sale.
I stopped by Circuit City and they had 3 copies of From the Earth to The Moon. I passed, but I may go back tomorrow and pick it up, if they still have any. I was kind of disappointed that the Field of Dreams they had on sale wasn't the 2-disc version. That's Circuit City for ya.
