    If you've never seen 'The Hairdresser's Husband', it is worth a look. It's nice to see it finally available on a domestic DVD.

    Big Lots Sale

    I got the 2-disc versions of 'The Philadelphia Story' (1940) and 'The Band Wagon' (1953) for $3 each. There was a 'cut-out' saw mark on each of the UPC codes/Proof of Purchase though that went through the clear plastic, but not the black. I'll have to go back and see what other old MGM and...

    Weekly RoundUp 10-21-2008

    If anyone is interested in 'The Silence of the Lambs:Collector's Edition' DVD at Best Buy, you may encounter a pricing problem. The ad says $6.99 for the Collector's Edition (as noted by the spine in the ad), but they have two SKU's for the same item - 4224379 and 8237142. The only difference...

    Weekly RoundUp 6-17-2008

    I stopped by Best Buy today and asked about 'Popeye - Volume 1'. The individual said it was the Fleischman collection, but I checked their web site to double check. Best Buy's website only has "Popeye & Friends: Volume 1" (to be released on Tuesday, June 17th) for $9.99, which is noted at the...

    Weekly RoundUp 3-25-2008

    Sorry! I saw that last week. Too bad they didn't have "Lawrence of Arabia 2-disc Limited Edition" in the ad and the correct version of 'Das Boot', which is the 2-disc "uncut version" instead of the 1-disc "director's cut".
