This one was here too (multiple copies). I purchased one of these for ~$5 a few months before the announcement of the remastered Stooges by year collections.

It has:

"Woman Haters" - 1934 (Their first short. All of the dialog is spoken in rhyme)
"Punch Drunks" - 1934 (Curly going crazy at the sound of music)
"Men in Black" - 1934 ("Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard"... their only short to be nominated for an Academy Award)
"Three Little Pigskins" - 1934 (Look for a young Lucille Ball)
"A Plumbing We Will Go" - 1940 (One of their funniest shorts ever)
"Micro-Phonies" - 1945 (Curly mimicks "Voices of Spring" dressed as a woman)

I'm not too crazy about "Woman Haters", but the other 5 are classics. The quality of this set, while very good, is not on a par with the "Collection" versions but far superior to the PD releases. For $3 the DVD is a good, economical choice for a Stooge fan in training, a casual fan, or as a stocking stuffer. If you are a true Stooge lover you'll pass on this and get the collections. The quality of those is amazing.

Seconded.

But do the collections have dubbed soundtracks in Spanish and Portuguese? That's half of what I bought this cheap one for. I might get the collections eventually, though I don't know when I'd have time to watch all of them.

For the first time in months. there were absolutely NO new DVDs at my BL this week.

There were some $4 Christmas CDs.

Wonder if they're getting ready for Black Friday and $2 DVDs like last year!

I would love to tell you "yes, they do" but the truth is the only language is English. I don't understand why they did not at least include the alternate language tracks for those shorts where one already exists. Additionally, there are no subtitles in *any* language but they *are* closed captioned in English.
For Stooges you *make* time! :)

Western Blvd in Raleigh randomly got a handful of funimation titles. regret return of Samurai 7 vol. 5 now that I have 1 and 6. Oh well. Probably end up returning these as well at this rate

Picked up the following today..

Mothman Prophecies (2-disc)
Turbulence
Capote
Clay Pigeons
Ghost Dad
The Net (SE)
Bugsy (Unrated Extended)

Anyone seen these at their local BL and willing to get/ship them to me?

Lucky Louie
Hellboy 3 disc
Empire Falls 2 disc
The Mind of the Married Man Season 1
Cracker 1,3
Species Box Set
Notorious Bettie Page

Were there anymore Baron Munchausen? Thats the only one out of the current assortment I'm still looking for.

The Zanesville OH store got in some Funimtion DVDS mostly different from the previous ones. I picked up

Basilisk Vol 1
Kodocha Vol 3
Suzuka vol 2
Trinity Blood vol 2
peach girl vol 2
Beck vol 1 with guitar pick
seven samurai vols 1 and 6
Full Metal Panic vol 2


and unrelated to that a movie called Spirit Trap with Billie Piper from DR Who

There was one more Baron but it was a floater so i didn't pick it up for trade.

Had a second sighting of animes Beck Vol 1 and Basilisk Vol 1, got both at $2 a piece yesterday.

Saw some $3.00 titles at a Dayton, OH Big Lots (Airway/Woodman corner) that may have been mentioned before but this was the first time I noticed them for sale-

Scoop (Woody Allen)- http://www.amazon.com/Scoop-Woody-Al...5831613&sr=1-1
My Date With Drew - http://www.amazon.com/My-Date-Drew-C...5831925&sr=1-1
The Missing (Extended cut) - http://www.amazon.com/Missing-Tommy-...5831820&sr=1-1
The Grudge 2 (darn, can't remember if it was the "regular" cut or the "Director's cut" so I won't post a link to Amazon. It was the sequel though, not the first one)

Normally, I would have bought all 4 of the above titles. But, I'm trying to curtail my "Big Lots fever". Just because a DVD is for sale at an excellent price...it isn't worth it if it is just going to sit on my DVD shelf unwatched. I just "saved" $12.00 plus tax that can go to buying something I may watch in the future like a TV season set. Fun to browse today and that was worth the gas money.

Weeeellllll, I had moaned and complained a little bit in the Target $7.50 thread about my Big Lots never having anything that was mentioned in this thread. Well, that changed. Me and the misses went there over the weekend, and this display was there. Last time they stocked up, I was only able to find one or two things that were somewhat decent.

This time, they had practically everything.

Walked out with:

Ali: Director's Cut
Panic Room: 3-Disc
A River Runs Through It: Deluxe
The Saddest Music in the World
Bugsy: Extended Cut
... and a copy of Guys and Dolls!

Total, the damage was $19 and a quarter. :up: That's probably around 75% of what I paid for my first copy of Panic Room way back when.

Also saw Mothman Prophecies two-discers, New York, New York, L'Enfant, Philadelphia, Scoop, a slew of other Superbits, and a lot more.

Are the following still floating about or did their time come and go already?

1969
Alice
All I Want
Class
Cry In The Dark
Fail Safe
Girl, Interrupted
Interiors
Locusts
National Lampoon's Black Ball
Quick and the Dead (Superbit)
Rush
Silk Stalkings
Silverado
Spring Forward
Thin Blue Line
Throw Momma from the Train

Can anybody Pick up a Copy of Ali directors cut or has one to trade for another big lots movie?

If anyone can find an extra copy of Bettie Page, please lemme know. Willing to Buy or Trade (with another Big Lots title) for it.

Thanks.

With BL it's very much a YMMV thing. You'll find everything from stores with none of the titles left (or never got them at all) to others with everything still on the shelf.

From my experience, there are some titles that have come and went...and then come back again so I'd suggest continuing to keep your eyes open.

I just got back from my local Big Lots in Salem Oregon. They had new display last Friday that has since then been picked through quite a bit. But they had a few that I picked up. I also picked up some extras if anyone wants to trade. Here is what I have extra.

Hellboy (3 disk)
Panic Room (3 disk)
Bubba Ho-Tep
Action The complete Series
The Replacement Killers (SE)

Had an opportunity to visit the Tracy, CA Big Lots and found some I hadn't come across before. Picked up:

Urban Legends: Final Cut
Hudson Hawk SE
The Notorious Betty Page
Adaptation
Opportunity Knocks (a Universal title!)

also spotted:

The Ring Two
Jinxed (Bette Midler)

I'm with you on that one. While I appreciate this thread and everyone's findings, there are many titles that I can't bring myself to buy just because it is $3. I will continue to look forward to everybody's posts, and will update you all if I find anything new or interesting, but with the limited shelf space I am finding myself with, I think I need to slow it down and be a little more selective with my purchases.

What I've done recently is put some of the $3 blind buys on the top of my unwatched pile. Several that I viewed in the last few weeks, I've already sent off to DVD Planet for store credit (at more than the $3 I paid for them at BL).

I agree 100%..............................................Ok, it's been 5 minutes, when's the next shipment ???

This is a bit off topic but since there seem to be quite a few of you who are Bettie Page fans I thought you might be interested...

I was looking at the lastest issue of "Previews" at the comic shop today and saw where Dark Horse is "publishing" a Bettie Page "Heat-Sensitive" mug. She's in a bikini top that fades away when a hot liquid is put in the cup. "Previews" shows the list price as $14.99 with a release date of Feb. 11, 2009. Here is a link to the mug (with photos but don't get your hopes up as nothing is "revealed") on the Dark Horse site:
http://www.darkhorse.com/Products/15...r-Changing-Mug
They show a release date of May 6, 2009.

Very odd.

Three days ago I was wondering about "Action: The Complete Series". Then saw the post. Picked it up. Nice.

And now... earlier today I picked up the new edition/issue of Previews, haven't had an opportunity to go through it yet.

Besides picking up the above, I also found "The Missing" (2 disc SE) and "National Lampoon's Gold Diggers"; both are blind purchases.

Thanks for the heads-up.
