Big Lots Update Part 3 - Page 21

Jigen75 · 01-03-09, 07:39 PM

I guess Final Destination 3 is popular cause I can't find it at any store. I got everything else I wanted but that one is a tough one to find.

During the last 10 days, I have been to 8 Biglots throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties. Saw alot of stuff already mentioned, no shipments with new stuff.

I saw lots of Superman Returns 2 disk, Dog Day Afternoon 2 disk, Tabitha series (2 disk), The Big Red One 2 disk, Freddy vs. Jason 2 disk, Action series (2 disk).

I only saw one copy of Final Destination 3 (2 disk). It did not have a slipcover. (Interestingly enough I saw Shanghai Surprise being sold with and without the slipcover for $2.)

Some stores still had a few leftover $2 Black Friday Sony dvds and $2 LionsGate/Artisan dvds.

The Valeyard · 01-04-09, 03:57 AM

I did a run yesterday and picked up:

An American Werewolf in London
Van Helsing: The London Assignment
Adaptation
Capote
Born on the Fourth of July: SE
Sneakers

Side Note - Does anyone else's Adaptation look like ass? I started watching it today and the image is crawling with edge enhancement. I thought maybe my player was crapping out so I popped in Sneakers and it looked fantastic. I put Adaptation in my Blu-Ray player and it still looked like crap. Did I end up with a crap copy? The DVD & Blu-Ray players run through HDMI to my TV.

Another recent Big Lots purchase (The Big Empty) also looks horrible when I tried to watch it.

Jigen75 · 01-04-09, 10:23 AM

I've been to about 6 stores. I guess on some of these titles, they just get a couple copies and then they get a bunch of the others. I must have seen 100 copies of Adaptation. I saw one copy of freddy jason. No Superman Returns, Pans Labyrinth, Final Destination 3.

pd071 · 01-04-09, 11:19 PM

Wasn't anything at my local (Richmond, KY) store today. Wire rack was pretty wiped out in comparison to last week so I guess they haven't put anything on it since then. Also went to Lexington, KY store last week and they had some of the various HBO ones there...

Alcoholiday · 01-05-09, 12:27 AM

No, the 5 and 6 disc ones:

Alan Smithee · 01-05-09, 04:54 AM

Can anyone verify that all the movies in those Woody Allen sets are 16x9? It doesn't say anywhere on the outside, and MGM's hit-or-miss in that area.

basaro · 01-05-09, 07:56 AM

^It's just the individual movies in a box, if you check out each title separately online, you'll see they are all anamorphic.

Short answer...YES!

zekeburger1979 · 01-05-09, 11:56 AM

I picked up the following yesterday. Each was the only copy left.

The Corner mini-series.
RKO 281.
The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

docdoowop · 01-05-09, 12:20 PM

GMan2819 · 01-07-09, 01:18 PM

I'm looking for Hitchhiker Volume 1. Anyone seen that out in the wild?

Torchur317 · 01-07-09, 03:41 PM

Holy shit they had like almost every HBO release ever at mine....
Too bad I already had stuff like Hitchhiker vol. 2 & 3....

melih69 · 01-07-09, 06:48 PM

I am going to check the Big Lost tomorrow but the closest one is 30 min to me. They better have some of these title you guys are talking about.

MooMooMooMoo · 01-07-09, 07:28 PM

FYI, the $6.00 titles I mentioned a few days back did not show up. I was told that they may be in this week's batch or their may have been an error by corporate. No idea yet what they are.

Sorry I'm being so vague, but anonymous source & all that...........
