Weekly RoundUp 3-1-2011

Funny when I read "free corset" I assumed it was from Pirates of the Carribean, as in try wearing one.

For sure only Bambi this week.  Depending on taxes tomorrow and how the smallest paycheck of the year goes this week, maybe a few catalogue titles from BB.  We'll see.

Bambi with the coupon and I'm leaning to the Target deal.

Love and Other Drugs is almost a given, but not at those prices.   I;m hoping to see a coupon float around somewhere for this one.   Many Fox releases

over the past month or so have had a $4 or 5 off somewhere.  

127 Hours though for some reason this movie just doesn't interest me from a story perspective, but the performances and the combined purchase deals

may push me over the edge ($39 for both is still a bit steep??)

Already have Out of Sight and the Pirates Trilogy.

Thanks Mike.  Bambi for me

Will get Bambi with the coupon and also The Cable Guy....one of my all-time favorite Jim Carrey films. 

Thanks, Mike.

Probably nothing for me this week, which should make for some relief (on my wallet)... or should that only be reprieve (until next week)?  

_Man_

Renting 127 Hours and Burlesque when they hit Netflix...otherwise, nada!

Regarding the "free" ticket for On Stranger Tides offered with the POTC box...in what 1995-era time warp can you see a nighttime showing of a movie for only $8.50 (especially in the 3D era)? It should more accurately read, "2/3rds of a free ticket".

Only Bambi for me.

I'll get Bambi this week and I'll pick up The Cable Guy at some point.

Thanks for the prices!

What's the difference between the new Pirates box set and the one that was previously released (I'm pretty sure this was out before)?

Bambi's prices look just fine after the coupon.  This will be my first buy in a while, so I feel okay going for it.  Thanks for the heads up!

Not a thing. Adam inquired about differences in this and prior box (and single) releases of the titles and was told there were no additions to what was already released.
 

I hope to have the review for Love and Other Drugs up tonight and 127 Hours up tomorrow night.

That Target.com/movies site says buy *any* POTC movie and get a free ticket to the new movie.  (I didn't read the details.)

The other day I watched Bambi for the first time since the mid-'70s theatrical release.  It was weird -- the songs came back to me like I'd just heard them yesterday.  Can't get 'em out of my head now!  I haven't decided yet whether to upgrade; the DVD is beautiful.

I remember watching Cable Guy years ago and not caring for it that much, but I can't remember why.  Maybe I need to give it another chance?

Guess I'll head to Target today for Bambi with my Disney coupon, to see what the bonus disc is all about.  Have they issued one on a Disney classic before?

Lordy.  Well, I just brought the mofo home anyway.  I saw that extremely unexciting description in the store, but had no compelling reason to go elsewhere just to buy it without the disc at the same price, so I figured I'll give that disc to someone with kids, or whoever wants it.

Where did you guys see Dr Black, Mr Hyde at Best Buy? I cant find it on their web page and it's not showing up in the store.

The Target in my area only had two copies of Bambi on Blu-ray and neither had the bonus disc. Like you said, it doesn't seem like I missed out on too much.

What's worse, and I didn't look closely enough to see this in the store, is that the extra disc is in an envelope glued to the back of the BD case.  It might come off neatly, might not.  I'm thinking I'd better take the plunge and do it right now, before it "ages".

Done.  Do it now.  The glue blob is a long strip, and it comes off okay, but even after wiping the case with lighter fluid (a.k.a. The Collector's Friend) you can see an outline where the glue substance actually alters the plastic a bit.  I know from experience that that only gets worse if you wait.

Picked up Bambi at my work (Stop & Shop) today for $19.99, meaning I paid only ten bucks for it after the Disney coupon. I had to settle for the DVD case packaging (they had no Blu-Ray cases), but for that price, I'm not complaining. I also sent away for the free reproduction of the theatrical poster, meaning I should get it probably by mid-May.

Oh my god, is that Target "exclusive" disc a waste of plastic, or what?  I've got a friend's kid lined up to get it. 

Were there any other Bambi exclusives, or was this the only one?

Best Buy had a lunchbox for an extra 4.99 I think

Toys R Us had a 'free' plush toy Bambi with purchase, but the base price was 26.99 so basically $4+tax for the plush toy.
