[Adam Gregorich]

Thanks Mike! The Twilight Time releases for sure, other than that I would love to pick up Chariots of Fire, but I can't justify it at that price. I will wait for that and Outland to come down in price.

Ouch. I...couldn't...help...myself. I got a little excited after reading the reviews from RAH and Cameron. Now you and I get to wait and see how long it takes for the price to drop.

My other Amazon pre-order this week is Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog. The trailer looks amazing and http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120516/REVIEWS/120519985

 

[Citizen87645]

The Tale of Two Cities looks interesting, as does Quill.

 

[DavidJ]

I really want Chariots, but I'm going to have to wait until it comes down in price.

 

[Jesse Skeen]

Didn't know about the Circuit City documentary but will check that out. Can I get it on DIVX? I've heard that's a much better value.

 

[Citizen87645]

Zing!

Special DIVX Edition (DIVX player not included).

 

[Frank Ha]

Okay, here goes: How did Sarah Marshall get knocked up by a 41-year-old Virgin?

 

[Matt Hough]

I understand the Twilight Time pre-orders are now shipping, but the review copy for Magnificent Men has not yet arrived.

My copies arrived yesterday, and look magnificent. Looking forward, of course, to the reviews.

Also looking forward to receiving Coma, et al, which I pre-ordered at -- I think -- $13.99 each.

Aaaawwwww! Ya know, there are days I think it would be very cool to have a dog around. But I out-think myself. I mean, I probably wouldn't be able to take care of another creature (and have it live). I'm terrible with plants and can be a wee bit selfish some days. But, really, Mike...you're making a very good case for a pet.

Blade II and Frequency at some point when the price drops. I don't need them right now, but they are on my radar when I walk into WalMart and see a $7.98 sticker.

 

[TravisR]

If you liked the other American Pie movies, American Reunion is a fun look at the characters today. I don't know if I'll buy it this week (especially with that Barnes And Noble sale on Criterion discs) but I'll get it at some point.
Thanks for the prices, Mike!

 

[Bill Thomann]

Thanks for the Roundup, Mike. I hadn't even realized American Reunion was being released this week. Got the first 3 on dvd & don't see an upgrade coming for those but I think I'll get the combo pack for Reunion. One day they'll have a great blu sale on the original trilogy & I might go for them then.

 

[David Norman]

My copies arrived yesterday, and look magnificent.  Looking forward, of course, to the reviews.
Also looking forward to receiving Coma, et al, which I pre-ordered at -- I think -- $13.99 each.

Mine as well and looks like we have similar tastes in old(er) movies
Frequency, Outland, Coma, and Altered States for me.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Thanks for another WRU, Mike! Haven't been around much of late. Hope all is well w/ you and the family.

I've been gradually rethinking my approach to purchases/collecting w/in the greater context of stewardship, time, etc. Tough decisions to make, especially w/ so many titles getting marked

 

[ScottJH]

Coma, Altered States, Frequency, Blade II and Spawn are now $9.99 on Bestbuy.com. Next week's release of Mean Streets is also at that price.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

So is anyone going to be coffin up the bucks for Dark Shadows?

Not me. If I brought that set home, my wife would blow a casket.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines was shot in Todd-AO. It will be interesting to see how good the transfer comes out on BR.

 

[David Norman]

Coma, Altered States, Frequency, Blade II and Spawn are now $9.99 on Bestbuy.com. Next week's release of Mean Streets is also at that price.

Would be nice to know the prices will be the same next week -- fairly strong rumors and circumstantial evidence that the next (apparently now) "quarterly" Upgrade and Save promotion will start next Sunday.
