After reading this Friday night, I decided this was something I'd really like to get, but then I saw how much it cost and decided to put it on the backburner. As luck would have it, I was at the local Suncoast yesterday, looking for a fourth title to get me to 60% off. I found a copy of Best of...
I started working on conserving energy several years ago. Any time an appliance needs to be replaced, I look for the Energy Star label. If it's not efficient, I don't buy it. I replaced every bulb in the house with CF's, with the exception of the little utility bulbs in the fridge and dryer...
I enjoy watching shows on PBS with my kids, as long as they are both interesting and educational. Reading Rainbow is one I watched with my 15 year old, and that I now watch with my 2 and 4 year old. I won't watch Sesame Street (, otherwise known as The Elmo Show, or Let's Teach Our Kids To Talk...
Does anyone know how much shipping is for this? I tried the site, and it said it would show the shipping rate once you enter your mailing info, but it asked me for my CC info before listing the shipping rates.
I bought Seinfeld S5&6 last week, then saw the lower price this week. Since I bought them online, I called bb.com's 1-800 number to see if they could do a price adjustment. They told me that they don't adjust prices if the online price doesn't change. I pointed out the policy online that states...
I'm also a bit disappointed by the lack of attention this is getting. The website has been down so long, I really don't remember exactly how long it's been. I do intend on picking up a copy of the special issue of Variety, though. I just hope it's available locally.
Yep. I got a chuckle out of the notice, but considering how little I actually shop at Best Buy now (3 DVD's from them in the last 4 months), it's really little or no impact to me.
Has anyone else received the update notice for the RZ program? Membership is now free, and you now get 1 point per dollar spent. However, you need 250 points to earn a certificate. So they've dropped from an initial 5% savings, to a new, improved system with a whopping 1.87% savings after taxes...
Really looking forward to this. Thin Man Goes Home was the first one I saw, and I've always enjoyed it, although the first one is easily my favorite. I've already let my wife know that she'll be getting me this for my birthday, although I don't know if I'll be able to resist not watching it for...
We had a horrible flea problem years ago, and although I'd read that these weren't necessarily all they were cracked up to be, I decided to try them. Less than two weeks later we were flea-free, and haven't had a flea problem since.
I may get The Glass-Bottom Boat just for The Dot and the Line. This is one of my favorite animated shorts ever, and is worth the $20 MSRP on its own. Does anyone know if it's been released elsewhere?
1. Seven Samurai Criterion Collection 2. Warners Legends Box Set 3. Star Wars Trilogy box set 4. LOTR EE Boxed Set 5. Singin' in the Rain SE 6. Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher 7. Gone With the Wind 4-disc set 8. Indiana Jones Trilogy 9. Lon Chaney Collection 10. Ikiru Criterion Collection...
I was eagerly awaiting Bringing Up Baby, wouldn't pass on the SE of The Philadelphia Story, and will gladly buy anything with William Powell and Myrna Loy, so Libeled Lady is a must buy. Since I'm already in it for those three, it's going to be cheaper getting the box set. I'm not complaining...
The girl was a bit on the unbalanced side. Her dad was obscenely wealthy, and she took the job because he thought it'd be good for her to get some real-world work experience before getting married. Of course, I didn't know she was engaged when she first started working there, so didn't have a...
This is, by far, my favorite online DVD collection site. While I still also update Profiler, I've abandoned all others in favor of DVDSpot. It's continuously getting better, and with the new stats page is leaps and bounds better than it was just last week. Croy, the guy who runs it, is very...
Back in college, a girl I worked with accused me of sexual harrassment because I chuckled at a joke she told about menstruation during our lunch break. I'm still not entirely sure if she was upset that I laughed, or becuase I didn't laugh as heartily as the women at the table. She hired a lawyer...
Go to the nearest Asian shop and get her one of those money frogs. They're little carved wooden or stone frogs that can hold a coin in it's mouth (I think they're supposed to bring prosperity as long as there's a coin present). Instead of a coin, put the ring in its mouth.
I can't recommend a good one right now, but I can warn you against a really bad one. I make Christmas CD's each year for my brother and sister, and this year I found myself out of ink, labels, inserts, and ultimately my favorite program. Previously I'd used Fellowes' MediaFace v2, and it was a...
A coworker was going through the same thing a few years ago and asked for my help. I took a picture of some reindeer in a snowy field and added some very realistic looking light effects coming from one of their noses. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll send it back to you. I should...
I just looked this up on Amazon, and they have an amusing flub in their description of the movie: Amazon.com Stander is the compelling, true story of Andre Stander (superbly played by Tom--formerly Thomas--Jane), an Apartheid-era, South African police captain whose disgust over official...
I saw the trailer for this a few months back and it looked pretty good, but don't recall it hitting the theaters around here. I may have to pick up the DVD and check it out.
My father-in-law passed away earlier this year, and every time my wife and son go visit her mom, they seem to bring home more and more of his stuff. This past week, my son brought back a ton of cigars, something like 8 boxes in all. I looked them up online, and these are all a bit costly--or at...
This is some spectacular news. The Philadelphia Story is one of the DVD's that we watched over and over again back when we only had a couple hundred titles. I'll gladly double-dip on the SE. Bringing Up Baby is one of my most anticipated titles. I first saw it on the big screen a few years ago...
I'd like to see something like this. One of the things I enjoyed about the Wrestling Gold set was the commentaries that gave some insight into the storylines and angles that were going on at the time. Something that gave an overview of the history of the various companies could be a lot of fun...
I found mine at Borders after striking out at Best Buy (the guy told me that it probably won't be carried instore chain-wide), and at Suncoast (the guy couldn't find it in the computer, and got mad when I told him he might want to try an alternate spelling of "Cloke"). I really enjoyed...
I was in an ALDI once, and the experience was so bad I haven't been back. The shelves were a mess, and their produce was sitting on pallets in the middle of the store. This included apples, which were rolling all over the floor, and watermelons, which some kids were stomping on. It was the...
