Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Caution: Don't confuse it with the horrendous disc released previously by Koch media—that version is an abomination.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
But I found it dramatically impressive, technically competent, fairly literary faithful, and emotionally moving. I'd buy it again on Blu-Ray in a heartbeat if it existed in that format.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Have to humbly disagree, personally I was very impressed with the Hallmark Channel version. Granted it wasn't as bitterly cynical as the book (although it definitely tread into that territory), and the truncated take on the fleet towing scene was disappointing (a nod to budgetary concerns, but still it is an iconic scene in both the literary and theatrical sense and deserved better).

At mine they were with the rest of the movies. They've really lowered this stock. Just one 4 sided bin. 1 side with TV shows, 1 side with cd/dvds, 1 side clearance and 1 side Blu Rays/DVDs. It was at the Lakewood, CA biglots.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Certainly seems like BL is gradually phasing out physical media in their B&M's. Hit 3 locations today and selections have been whittled down to a single 4 sided display, one of which is exclusively CD's. Few BDs remain and the less talked about the DVD selections, the better. One side of the rack is called Clearance and has some BD's and DVD's special priced but they are a very small selection. One of the stores had a few sets of Office and Two and a half men marked down to $2 and $2.50.
I picked up
X-Files - I want to believe: Ultimate X-Phile edition - $1.25 (clearance)
The Big Year - $1.25 (clearance)
Return To Nim's Island - $3
Messengers/Freedomland Mill Creek 2 pack - $3
Most certain that movie media will soon be a thing of the past at BL. Am flashing back to 2007 and 2008 when I loaded up on tons of MGM, Warner, Universal, Sony dumps at $3 - unbelievable selections and stores overflowing with them. Good days !

I've actually eliminated periodic visits to Big Lots this summer checking for media goodies. The chain is now simply a low-rent version of Wal-Mart without the thousands of extra products.

Yeah, there was a time I enjoyed going into Dollar General and Big Lots looking for treasure. I never go out of my way anymore. If I am in the neighborhood, I'll stop by to check it out.

The one right next to the Lakewood mall. Across from the El Torito. The one you went to is on Bellflower in Long Beach next to the USPS and Trader Joes. That one rarely has good stuff. The one in Lakewood by the mall has a better selection. At least it used to before they started phasing the media out.

The most impressive sighting was a sole copy of Jetsons Season One on DVD for $8.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
The two Big Lots stores in my area don't have much anymore.
Both have switched to similar layouts. They still have a ton of DVDs but not many Blu-Rays anymore. One of the stores did have 1 copy each of the Pacific Rim & Gravity 3-D Blu-Rays.

Last week, my nearest BL only had Blu-rays of Beastly (2 copies), unrated edition of The Last Exorcism Part II (1 copy) , Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (1 copy), and Blu-ray 3D of Pacific Rim (1 copy).
But they had a ton of $5 Looney Tunes DVDs.
