The DVD/Blu-Ray (Plus For Sale) Thread

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I also finally pulled the trigger and bought Let The Right One In Blu-Ray from Amazon UK.

And it was only $16.

I'd love to see Criterion do Let The Right One In and maybe include the commentary from the Swedish release (with subtitles, of course).

Meanwhile, I don't think the remake will be that bad. Sure the choice of director is bad (I would have preferred someone like Brad Anderson at the helm) but it's got a decent cast and I like the concept of setting the remake in the 1980's. And Hammer (the production company that's co-financing) had some good points about remaking it and has claimed they will keep it accurate with the original. Also, not very many people saw the original (the domestic gross was only $3 million with a quarter of that made in a single theatre) so I'd feel a remake is welcome.

Does it have the theatrical subtitles. It will say English (Theatrical) if it does. They started them with new subtitles that were more direct translation as opposed to transliteration, which sucked pretty badly. Then they put the others back in as well, after people complained. I've been looking at the blu's and have yet to find one with theatrical.

Recent purchases from Blockbuster (all $2.99)

Roman de Gare
The Savages
Death Defying Acts
Nim's Island
The Flock

I also bought The Hammer but I will return it since it doesn't have all of the regular DVD's extras (some making-of material was dropped from the Blockbuster release, so be cautious of the Blockbuster Exclusive label).

Ah shit, I didn't check. I'd read online that the US ones were the only ones without the Theatrical Subtitles.

But, to me, it's not a huge deal since I saw it first on DVD and still loved it, hacked up subtitles and all.

I also got The Boondock Saints on Blu from Target for $13. Ironically, the DVD version was $16. Same special features and everything.

[Aquamann2001]

I just got The Fall on blu ray for 6.99 at a blockbuster today.

Exchanged The Hammer at Blockbuster and picked up Stephanie Daley.

Amazingly enough, most of these titles were originally priced at $12.99 or $14.99 each.

Buscemi, you must live in the worst city in America for movie stores...

The Fall on Blu for $7 is an insane steal.

[Buscemi]

There are a fair amount of stores closing here but there are probably worse. Besides, everyone around here buys or uses Netflix (you should see when Entertainmart has a sale, it's a madhouse).

[frendo]

Got Saw V for 9.00 new and Quarantine for 4.00 used on blu today. The Fall for 7.00 is a great deal!

[Buscemi]

At Sam's Club:

The Iron Giant (special edition) $4.88

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I picked up the Toy Story and Toy Story 2 Blu rays for pretty cheap.

My mom got some more of her Disney coupons and I got em both for $17 total.

Pretty sweet.

[Buscemi]

K-Mart's doing a deal with the Toy Story movies, however it's $50 for both of them.
