Weekly RoundUp 9-4-2007
The Weekly RoundUp
SPECIAL NOTICE: I’m unable to put together this week’s RoundUp in usual fashion…so I have put together the basic shell of the post but will be unable to post this week’s flyer ads. I will be back in full force next week.
This week I have included prices taken from the websites of the retailers…but a number of them will be wrong. The retailers routinely update the prices of their weekly sales very close to release week. Many of these “wrong” prices will be obvious to you. I also have no access to Target’s prices this early.
Thanks for understanding.
The Features
– Felicity Huffman, Jane Fonda, Lindsey Lohan (Georgia Rule – 2007)
– On Any Sunday (1971)
– Cast (The Black Donnellys – 2007)
– Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan (30 Rock - 2006)
– James Spader & Jordi Caballero (I, Witness – 2003)

(CC) after a title = New release in the Criterion Collection.
The Disclaimer Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.
"LP" in the RoundUp table means a store’s Sunday flyer says "Low Price". That means 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, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in...as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don't get paid for this, and I don't have the time to list 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!
Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the RoundUp. They set prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is no way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. And, as always, Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii. |

Thanks for understanding. And, thanks, as always, to Patrick Sun for his able assist in making these magically appear for me.
**BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! Delta Farce AND Georgia Rule are available in both OAR and MAR versions... get the correct one(s)!
--Also BE AWARE: There are actually three different releases of 30 Rock this week. There is the complete Season 1 release (which I have included in the RoundUp) as well as Season 1/Volume 1 and Season 1/Volume 2 releases. Don’t pick up the wrong one!
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 9-4-2007 DO NOT DELETE
Sorry, folks, I'm busy with Dragon Con this weekend, so I won't have time to put up the catalog DVD sales at this time, perhaps in a few days after I recover from the convention...

Re: Weekly RoundUp 9-4-2007
Mike,
You picked a good weekend to not be able to do the roundup to your usual standards, since there's nothing I'm even remotely interested in. 
"Movies should be like amusement parks. People should go to them to have fun." - Billy Wilder
"Subtitles good. Hollywood bad." - Tarzan, Sight & Sound 2012 voter.
"My films are not slices of life, they are pieces of cake." - Alfred Hitchcock
"My great humility is just one of the many reasons that I am vastly superior to everyone else." - Ramrod Clerk

Re: Weekly RoundUp 9-4-2007
Thanks RoundUppers!
Nothing for me this week.
That's a good thing too, since I'm still reeling from last week's mega purchases of Doogie Howser, MD: Season Three, Doogie Howser, MD: Season Four, Heroes: Season One, The Odd Couple: Season Two, Friday Night Lights: Season One, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared!

Re: Weekly RoundUp 9-4-2007
30 Rock. I'm hoping someone will have it for less than the BB and CC advertised price of $34.99.
