Re: Your Black Friday 2011 Hauls

While I'm in a well-populated area, my nearest BB seems only moderately traveled, and I can usually find some rare-r goodies here -- Black Friday was no exception...(I've marked accordingly for you slipcover freaks)

Best Buy
Mimic $4.99
Fast Five BD/DVD w/slipcover $9.99
Batman 20th Anniv digibook $10.99 (wish WB would give Batman Returns this treatment!)
Dances with Wolves (w/slipcover!) $10.99 (--By the way, what's the deal with Amazon's listing on this? This isn't OOP, already...is it?)
Scott Pilgrim (BD/DVD/DC, sealed/slipcover) $10.99

My BB also had about five copies of the Doctor Who S6 sets, all marked at $36.99...I'm really tempted to go back and grab one
(To anyone: what's the replay value on these? I'm a casual fan just finishing up "renting" S5, and have seen all Who since its revival)

Best Buy online
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights BD/DVD $7.99/free shipping
(haven't received yet, don't know if it still contains the slipcov)

Amazon
Evangelion 2.22 $16.49 (yes, I know it's been this low before)
Thor $15.99
Capitan American $15.99 (OK, maybe pre-BF, but was glad both Thor and Cap came pristine with slipcovers!)
Green (yeah, I know) Lantern: The Ryan Reynolds Variation BD/DVD $9.99
(They really can't get rid of this, can they? Hoping, of course, that this will still have a slipcover, in all its glorious green-ness...)

Barnes and Noble online
Iron Man 2 BD/DVD combo for around $12.60 (was discounted to $17.99, and used a 30%-off coupon with membership...wonder if this will still have a slippy?)

I'm kind of doing a little research for a class, so I can justify the geekdom superhero titles a bit...

And "just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in"

I grabbed Nip/Tuck DVD Seasons 1, 4, 5.1, 5.2, 6 DVD sets just now for $7.99/each in an Amazon Lighting Deal (There seem to be no BD versions forthcoming, correct me if I'm wrong).

You should want to watch it. Warner went all the way with this one on its restoration. It shows what the format is capable of. It is fantastic to see such top notch restoration.

Ben Hur is one of my favorite classic movies. I'll likely be watching it tomorrow, it's already opened sitting next to my blu-ray player.

Whippersnapper!!!

I remember seeing this in its roadshow performance in San Francisco, in '59 or early '60, when I was eleven. Tickets were reserved in advance, as we do for the symphony or a play. Ben-Hur ran for more than a year at the Coronet. Until "The Return of the King" no film had garnered as many Oscars. This Blu-Ray transfer is outstanding! There is no CGI. A cast of thousands really is a cast of thousands. Watch the Chariot Race and you will understand why so many love this movie and what a steal the boxset was this weekend.

Back on topic:

Amazon
Bourne Trilogy 21.11 (warehouse used, but good condition)
Jurassic Park Trilogy 26.39 (warehouse new, but damaged box)
Jackie Brown 5.47
Seven Samurai 22.49

Target B&M
T2 Judgment Day 4.75
Pulp Fiction 3.99

BB B&M
Ben-Hur UCE (2 copies) @ 10.99
Citizen Kane 10.99

BB.com
Mad Men S4 8.99

Buy.com
Ten Commandments 4.99 (that was a surprise)

I admit I probably won't watch it soon, but I WILL watch it. It's a fantastic film. Will I watch it multiple times? Eventually. Will I lend it out so others can see it? YES. It will be worth my investment. I certainly wouldn't have paid $30+ for it, but it's a no brainer for 11 bucks. Oh, and I will definitely open it tonight after I pick it up. I want to play with all the goodies it comes with.

If you ordered this before it went on sale, I recommend emailing them asking for a price difference. It can't hurt.
