Damn that sux....

Is Swimming Pool the rated cut? Not that there was anything wrong with the theatrical version, but...

That would be affirmative.

Went to 4 Big Lots stores the past few days looking for 1 title...no $3.00 "Who's the Boss" for me. Probably won't waste time/gas on any more stores in the Dayton, Oh area. I love/hate Big Lots! Here's what I did pick up:

For $2.00 picked up:
A Carol Christmas (Tori Spelling/Gary Coleman/William Shatner).

For the normal $3.00 each picked up:
Angels in America 2 disc (HBO miniseries with Al Pacino/Meryl Streep)
Lucky Louie
The Notorious Bettie Page

For $5.00 each picked up:
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol
(also saw Frosty the Snowman & Santa Claus is Comin' to Town but I have those allready)

The Big Lots on Salem Ave, Trotwood(Dayton), OH just can't sell their Woody Allen box sets- the one which includes "Shadows and Fog". Months later they still have the 5 copies on the wire rack unsold at $13.00 each.

Anyone willing to pick me up a Woody box set?

Careful with those ws/fs flippers...even though the packaging indicates a flipper, there's a good chance the FS only version is inside.....

The Big Lots in West Covina, CA got their shipment. They got EVERYTHING that's been listed. I picked up:

The Devil's Backbone
The 6th Day: SE
Mysterious Island
Guys and Dolls: DE
The Hitchhiker: Vol. 1 (2- Disc) - FINALLY!!!
Bugsy: Extended Cut
Sleepwalkers
Kung Fu Hustle (widescreen)

I also picked this up for $50:



The salesgirl mentioned that they're getting some laptops in the next couple of weeks for like 500/600 bucks.

Yeah, but which volume :S

From Big Lots, this has happened only with Mixed Nuts.
From Walmart and Toys R Us, only Buddy.

Picked up a few nice titles for $3 each at the local BL:

- Who's the Boss?, Season 1
- Bugsy: Extended Cut
- Gattaca: Special Edition
- Capote / In Cold Blood (Double Feature)

Saw a few single titles of Capote and In Cold Blood as well, but couldn't resist the two-pack! They're packaged in a hinged keepcase and are both single-sided widescreen versions, BTW.

Finally, finally...after what seemed like eternity and having given up all hopes of finding these in SoCal. Picked up these y'day:

Panic Room 3Disc
River Runs Through it Deluxe Edition
Leon The Professional Uncut edition
Kung Fu Hustle WS (yes Widescreen after the FS dumping)
HellBoy 3 Disc Edition (nice Christmas gifts)

Volume 1. I edited my above post to reflect that now.

non-sarcastic congratulations to you then, and no envy for me since I've got that one

Picked up:

Mothman Prophecies (2 disc)
Mysterious Island
Monster SE (2 disc)
Final Fantasy: Spirits Within (2 disc)
Who's the Boss: S1
Hollow Man (Superbit) 2 disc - couldn't resist
Kung Fu Hustle

I think I can get my hands on an extra Panic Room 3 disc. Anyone willing to trade Clay Pigeons + The Devils Backbone for a Panic Room 3 disc?

Looks like we got some wheelin' and dealin' going on up there.....

Anyone out there from the Rhode Island area (nearby Mass. or Conn. too) been to the BL in Warwick R.I. ???.......Wondering if The Notorious Bettie Page has shown up there. The ones closer to me had zilch, nyet and nada.

Went to the local LA Big Lots to get "The Notorious Bettie Page". Got it, but got suckered into buying 16 other titles!

Which local Big Lots did you hit, SPRBD? I couldn't find Bettie Page at mine. I'd love to pick that one up.

Thanks.

Culver City. Either somebody beat me there or they only got like 1 copy of each new title. Definately only 1 Bettie Page or I would have picked up an extra copy for a friend.

Crap.

Thanks for the update tho.

Picked up @ Pasadena(Tx) store today -

The Boogyman (the original 1980 version, also includes Return of the Bogeyman)
The Hunt for the BTK Killer (what can I say)

No copies of Bettie Page or Who's The Boss tho'.

The Hunt for the BTK Killer was a great movie....
I've seen a few people act here like they were ashamed of buying it....

Small restock at my local store, nothing particularly notable. I did see a couple of the Lord of the Rings movies, but that's it. All I came away with was A Mighty Wind. I was tempted to get the Guitar Hero game though. I'm just not sure I can justify $50 for something last generation when I have already have two current generation systems. They need to do another of those 20% off coupons, that might get me to jump.

If anyone has a copy of The Notorious Bettie Page available please PM me. I'd really like to get a copy. I'll pay for it, or check my local store for whatever you're after. I've also got a copy of Guys and Dolls laying here I can part with.

I am NOT ashamed...

I haven't seen the Bettie Page at BL, but 1/2 Price books has had them for awhile. I THINK they're at $5.99, but I haven't paid much attention. I'll check the price next time I go in.
