Big Lots Part 4 - Page 5

Tim Tucker · 06-02-09, 02:59 PM

Just got back from a lunch time trip to the BL on the north side of town. Picked up:

Barry Lyndon
Eros
Going in Style (not on the Warner master list)
Brainstorm
The White Countess
Ten Little Indians

I also saw Battleground and Truffaut's Day for Night in snappers (also not on the master list). They also had a half dozen To Sir with Love. I may run back up there to get Best Foot Forward (which I've just found out has been discontinued by WHV.)

BTW, how can you tell which version of Barry Lyndon is which?

CD Universe is showing that the old version is letterboxed and the new version is full screen.

BobO'Link · 06-02-09, 04:47 PM

^^The first release (1999) is in a snapper case and has the words "Stanley Kubrick Collection" in a blue band across the top of the case w/o the wording "Digitally restored and remastered".

Next was the 2001 release, with the blue band and the wording "Digitally restored and remastered" added below the "Kubrick" line. I think this was also in a snapper case.

The most recent (2007) is in a keep case and has no blue banner/wording across the top.

All have the release date in the "program content" blurb on the back of the case. One "review" I read had this to say about the "new" release:

"...the package art now carries a 2007 date, the disc inside is the same as the 2001 release. It is NOT anamorphically enhanced. In fact, the files on the DVD are dated 2001, so it literally is the exact DVD release in 2001 - the menu is the same as well. The only difference is this comes in a keep case rather than a snapper case."

So it appears there's no true difference if this is correct. And all disks indicate "widescreen" with a 1.66/1 aspect ratio.

Tim Tucker · 06-02-09, 05:14 PM

Looks like I got the first version then. Has anyone seen any of the other versions at Big Lots?

I could really use a Saved By The Bell movie if anyone finds one.

Thanks

From what I've read the differences in content are pretty minor, but I wanted the WS version.

even though the difference may be minor, I wouldnt want anything that is edited from the original version, on general principles.

Found a new shipment at Big Lots today myself! I didn't have time to go through all of them, but I did grab:

The Pianist
Postcards From The Edge
Casual Sex
Duel (CE)

Gonna have to go back before the weekend and look through the rest. I did see Apollo 13 (2-disc) but the discs were loose so that was a no-buy. Thanks to everybody for the heads-up on the new stuff!

darkhawk · 06-04-09, 12:55 PM

I just found Universal's:

The People Under the Stairs / Shocker 2-pak

It's the 2 discs in one keepcase version. It's still $6. It also has a slip sleeve on it.

I seen that one but it was $8 at mine.

BobO'Link · 06-04-09, 08:08 PM

Major restock here! Lots of "previously reported" titles, several "new to here" 2-paks, lots of new singles, and nothing I've been on the lookout for... but I Picked up:

THX 1138 (2 disc) (slashed UPC, but not bad - WB)
Ray (Uni)
Apollo 13 (2 disk) (Uni)
A Beautiful Mind (2 disk) (Uni)

Last 3 have a blank sticker over the UPC, no slashes.

SethDLH · 06-04-09, 08:40 PM

Went to my closest store today to look for Demon Knight with no luck. A few new titles to the store, nothing new to the master list. Disappointing trip.

Ditto. Went looking for anything new. Nada. Wasted gas.

Went to three Big Lots so far, no Universal titles found yet.

$2 is still overpriced but I had to buy one also.

MooMooMooMoo · 06-05-09, 02:38 PM

The new batches haven't hit here. Store #1 got a very small box of $3.00 Animae & store #2 got nothing.
