Re: Maverick and Wild Wild West at Best Buy

Maverick is out? Any extras on it? Damn, had no idea. The only release I knew of was for Canada. I'd be down for it once it drops to $10-12.

Me too, and used a 10% coupon as well, lol. I'll just get a price adjustment. Want to buy Get Shorty and City Slickers anyway.

Re: Maverick and Wild Wild West at Best Buy

Someone on another forum reported spotting the 1967 Casino Royale (with David Nivens and Peter Sellers) at Best Buy. Has anyone else seen this? If so, does it contain the Barry Nelson TV play that was on the DVD?

Hmmm. I'd really be interested in "Taking Of Pelham One Two Three" if only it has a half-way decent transfer.

I'm guessing it'll be identical to the recent UK release, which included all of the extras and apparently sports a solid if not superb transfer, which looks to be DNR-free. Here's a review.

Back To School

Passed on Get Shorty for now & Wild Wild West, didn't see Taking of Pelham One Two Three.

The Firm is the only one with a slip cover... big Best Buy Exclusive sticker slapped on it

+ the price tag, gotta break out the Goo Gone.

ETA: Never mind, it came off pretty easy lol.

According the the back of the case it includes all of the extra features from the DVD. I picked it up on my way in to work this morning so I haven't been home yet to confirm.
