Weekly RoundUp 6/21/2005 (1 Viewer)

[Dome Vongvises]

Nothing for me, but I may get American Psycho. Thanks Pat and Mike.

 

[David*P]

This is the first time I've ever posted in this thread before...and I'm so happy because FINALLY my favorite TV show of all time is being released on DVD - BEWITCHED!

I'm getting both the colorized and the black & white set and the Tabitha release. I'm glad I checked here for the prices because it looks like I'll buy BW at Circuit City and then head on across town to Best Buy for Tabitha.

Thanks for always posting the round-up!

 

[Joe Fisher]

Just price match the Tabitha set at CC and save yourself the trip. I never have a problem pricematching anything from a Best Buy ad at Circuit City.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Craig: You are "dead on" about this week. I haven't peeked ahead to next week yet. Maybe I should use this down time to start getting ready for September 6!

 

[Steve Lockwood]

And other TV stuff for September 6 is Lost: Season One and Millennium: Season Three.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Honestly. You all might just as well stop buying DVDs now to afford September 6. (Keep in mind the following is a very partial list.) I'm sure there are bigger days coming between now and the end of the year...I just happened to notice the confluence of a number of big titles on 9/6.

NOTE TO SELF: Set alarm early on Tuesday, Sept. 6, to get in line at Best Buy.

 

[MichaelDrozd]

What horrible timing, my current job ends on 8-31.

Note to Self....Buy Flowers for wife and suck up daily until 9-06!
Because I am gonna need a bigger allowance!!!

 

[george kaplan]

Damn, I'd heard nothing about that. Excellent news! Where'd it come from? Praying hard it's OAR.

Also, are you certain about Ben-Hur that day? I've got 9/13 listed.

 

[Vincent-P]

Can anyone elaborate on what is on Target's Coach Carter Bonus Disc? There really aren't any details on the packaging and I would like to know if it is worth it, especially since Target won't do price matches.

 

[BrandonJF]

Writing Coach Carter : The Two Man Game - an 8.5 minute featurette

Coach Carter : Making the Cut - an 18+ minute featurette

Theatrical Trailer (which actually isn't included on the normal disc)

I didn't watch much of either of them, yet. One focuses more on the screenwriters, one seems to focus more on casting. As I scanned through, I did seem some behind the scenes footage included in there. I'd say if you're a fan of the movie, $2 (the cheapest I had seen it for elsewhere was $14.99) isn't that bad for what's on here.

I'm guessing these featurettes were made for the DVD and had to be scrapped from the normal release to keep it from going to a second disc.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Now that you mention it...I've got conflicting dates (9/6 & 9/13) among my sources. It looks like most ARE posting the 9/13 date.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I don't suppose that's a full set, as opposed to a best-of? Anyone know how many discs?
