Picked up "The World According To Garp" and "In America" which I hadn't seen in there before. No luck yet with "The City of Lost Children" but I'll keep checking back--there's a Big Lots just down the street from me.

A bunch more titles available for those interested. Mostly Columbia stuff, but I'm starting to see a lot of Universal/Focus Features films in there too. Adaptation Monster Leon: The Professional (non-SE) Hellboy (3-disc director's cut) Four Weddings and a Funeral (SE) Postcards From The...
Even though I rarely watch a laserdisc these days (maybe once or twice a year) I've yet to give up a single one. I spent the 90s building my perfect collection--about 150 titles, which may not seem like that many until you consider the average price was somewhere between $40 and $50 each. And...
The Big Lots near me had a ton of titles. Here's just some that I can remember. For some movies there were multiple copies, but there were plenty others with only one copy each. Salvador (SE) To Live and Die in L.A. (SE) Y Tu Mama Tambien (edited R-rated) Prizzi's Honor Invasion of the...
Rear cover art is up at TVShowsOnDVD.com and there is a disclaimer on the package: "Some Episodes May Be Edited From Their Original Network Versions. Music Has Been Changed For This Home Entertainment Version." So we've waited nearly two years for Season 9 and the best Paramount can tell us...
I've checked out my local Big Lots a couple times since this thread resurfaced last week. Found lots of Columbia/Sony titles at $3 per. All new and factory-sealed, no pre-viewed copies: Closer Ali (director's cut) The Passenger (Antonioni/Nicholson) Freedomland Hollywood Homicide...

THE REPLACEMENTS
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (SE)
THE NEGOTIATOR
THE FUGITIVE (SE)...
Okay, so WALKER isn't Cox's best film, but it's at least an interesting mess, and the documentary is something I'd really like to see. Kinda looking forward to this one.
Any confirmation yet if Best Buy will be offering a double-sized Grindhouse slipcover with purchases of "Planet Terror" like they did with the Kill Bill movies? There was rumor of this last month when "Death Proof" was released. If not, Wal-Mart's a lot closer to where I live and I'm sure they...
Here's a handful of locations that will be closing in November: COLORADO: 2100 28th St. (Boulder) 8031 Wadsworth Blvd. (Arvada) 3305 S. Broadway (Englewood) 5894 S. Zang St. (Littleton) 4515 John F. Kennedy Parkway (Fort Collins) AUSTIN, TEXAS: 4477 S. Lamar Blvd. 10710...
The stores that are closing are said to have "Liquidation Sale" signs in their windows. The four stores in my area don't have these signs but they still have excellent prices on pre-viewed titles ($1.99 through 7.99). I'll try to track down a list of the closing store locations.
Just found out that a lot of Hollywood Video stores across the country will be closing. "Most" will remain open, but less profitable locations will be folding. Liquidation sales are said to be in effect. I'm not sure if any stores in my city are closing but I have found some great deals on...
Same thing happened to me this week. I still have the 1.78:1 version I bought a year and a half ago. I thought $3.99 would be an inexpensive way of upgrading to the OAR. The case itself says 2:40:1 so I was very surprised to find out it was just another lousy cropped 1.78:1 version with...
I was hoping they were at least going to release Season 1 (including the pilot) in a separate set. I'd be willing to re-purchase the first season if it included the pilot. I figured seven episodes plus the pilot would probably cost me under $30, and that I could live with. But buying the...
RAGING BULL at No.4! Awesome. As it should be. GOODFELLAS, DO THE RIGHT THING and PULP FICTION shouldn't be lumbering down there in the 90s. If they update this list in another ten years I expect all three will place much higher. Happy to see NASHVILLE on there. I like THE SIXTH SENSE...
Got mine today from Amazon. I was expecting some really hideous packaging from what others had described, but I have to say I'm rather pleased with it, though it is odd that they chose "fringe" characters for the individual cases.
I peeked at a few episodes and the transfers look great...
David,
When you get a chance can you tell us what the extras are? For example, are there commentaries? Some sites have reported there are commentary tracks, others say there aren't. And I know some of us are concerned about the "Previously On Twin Peaks" clips that should preface each...
"Agent Cooper, it's Andy. Can you hear me? Agent Cooper..."
This thread's been dormant for too many weeks. Am I the only one excited about this release? Less than three weeks to go.
It's funny that this thread started in 2002 with people saying stuff like, "Man, it's been almost a year...
Mike,
I'm pretty sure "Ordinary People" is the same disc from 2001 with just a different cover. Not sure why Paramount keeps changing the classic poster art of the original dvds for these less appealing photo-shop jobs. And in the case of "Ordinary People," this new cover is so similar to...
I'd forgotten that Brad Pitt was one of the producers of "The Departed." I'm sure he'd be very pleased to see "Babel" win Best Picture, but if "The Departed" wins he'll get to ascend the stage and accept an Oscar. Wonder which film he'll be checking on his ballot.
Looked in the bin for the first time in a while, so maybe these titles are nothing new. But here's a few I hadn't seen in there before:
Deliverance
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Hairspray
Dumb and Dumberer
Contact
The Specialist
The Cell
Laws Attraction
Showtime
The Family Man...
The only real disappointment for me is no nomination for Michael Ballhaus for his brilliant cinematography on "The Departed." I thought that since this was the year they were finally going to honor Scorsese, they might also honor the man who shot 7 amazing films with him. By the way, when...
