Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Defintely going to have to keep an eyet out for thses, thanks for the heads-up!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The Duel Special Edition was definitely the jewel of the bunch for me.
Also saw:

Kindergarten cop
apollo 13
burbs

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Looks like I'm checking BL for The Burbs and Demon Knight tomorrow

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

those looking for "demon night" and "bordello of blood", if you look around at some of the online stores, there is a double feature of the 2 films on 1 disc available at a very reasonable price (under 10 bucks I am sure). I own a copy and both films are in animorphic widescreen. I love off-beat b-movies and I must say, "bordello of blood" is a hoot, dennis miller is hilarious in it.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I saw this new display at the Derry store yesterday. I wouldn't call it HUGE though, it was the same 2 tier cardboard display. Universal (no UPC scratches) and Warner (UPC scratches) titles were in the mix, and a few Sony's too.

Also saw...
Universal:
Arabian Nights
8 Mile
Bustin' Loose
The Jackal
Ride With The Devil
The Last Time I Committed Suicide (FS/non OAR)
For Love Of The Game

Sony:
The Last Time
An Evening w/ Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder

Bandai anime:
Flag (Vol. 1, 2, 3 and 4)
Zegapain (Vol.2)

Frighteners is the old version, not the newer Director's Cut

also, you might be able to find some of these titles (and older BL titles) at Shaws/Osco stores for $3.99.
This week I found:
Grizzly Man $3.99
The Thin Blue Line (missed getting this last summer at BL)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I found Grizzly Man at Big Lots for $2 this past Saturday.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Mine had a 3 tier display. I grabbed the following (Bold titles are new to the list(s)):

8 Mile
Apollo 13 2-disc Anniversary Edition
Coal Miner's Daughter 25th Anniversary Edition
Dante's Peak
The Frighteners (Old Version)
For Love of the Game
Honey
Ride with the Devil
Romper Stomper
Xanadu (Old Version)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Is that the old Frightners and Xanadu versions?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Yes to both. I amended my previous post to reflect that.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Just got back from BL, as I was there they were putting out a bunch of new titles But totally different than those that have been mentioned
I picked up :

The Dark Crystal- Collectors edition with collectibles inside
The Missing (widescreen special edition) 2 disc set
Private Parts
Novocaine $2

other titles I saw were Basic Instinct 2,Critical Mass,Casino Royale 2 disc Full screen,XXX - state of the union,The Piano (FS) plus a bunch of other stuff I can't even remember.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Found:

Tremors 2, 3 & 4 (3 & 4 are Anamorphic)
Josie and the Pussycats PG13 version (BL had 3 of them. They also had the PG versions.)
Honey
Skulls 3
Casual Sex
The House of Sand (starring Fernanda Montenegro)

The Last Time I Committed Suicide, it's FS at Big Lots. Was it made in FS only? Because IMDB doesn't list its OAR.

I had just bought Tremors 1 - 4 Franchise movie pack. All Anamorphic for $14.99 at Best Buy. Still a good deal for getting 1 & 2 anamorphic.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Like I did with The Wiz, I'll pass on The Frightners and Xanadu to get the newer anamorphic SE versions.

If anyone is looking for Grizzly Man, I have an extra one. Go to the BL exchange forum.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Picked up at Atlanta, GA S Cobb store
Xanadu WS
When We Were Kings FS
Casual Sex WS
Apollo 13 2 disc WS
Duel FS
A Beautiful Mind 2 disc WS
Pillow Talk
Gosford Park WS
Red Dragon
Dogma WS
Good Night and Good Luck

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The Last Time I Committed Suicide was unfortunately only released in FS on R1 DVD (dunno about other areas of the world), which is why I never bothered to grab this. I already have the LVD of it (also FS). If I happen to spot the DVD for $3 I may just grab it because it's a great film....tho this is NJ, so I highly doubt I'll see it. :(

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Glad to hear new titles are going out!

Last 2 weeks here:
Store #1 Last week: tons of $6.00 used dvd's. This week: no new dvd's: confirmed by store
Store #2 No new dvd's for the last 2 weeks: confirmed by store
Store #3 Haven't visited & I have no contacts there.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

[QUOTE=darkhawk;9477671]Found:


Josie and the Pussycats PG13 version (BL had 3 of them. They also had the PG versions.)

I have been looking for a copy of the full theatrical version, but everytime I see a copy it is the one that says "edited for family viewing"

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

[QUOTE=jgorow;9479193]I picked up one of the PG13 versions at my local BL today. The PG version "edited for family viewing' is Full Screen and the PG13 is Widescreen and says Widescreen at the top of the front cover. I went to Amazon.com to look at the different versions and they incorrectly show the WS PG13 cover for both versions but the technical details are correct for the PG FF version. From what I've read the differences in content are pretty minor, but I wanted the WS version.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I was checking on this myself before I opened it. The review here on dvdtalk is clear that's it's P&S, so I'm returning it myself.

...and just to confirm that I also saw Josie and the Pussycats in unedited PG13 version in the Derry store too, so they are out there for anyone looking.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Picked up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol 4 and the Saved By the Bell Double Feature last night after work for $2 each. Thanks to everyone for the updates.
:)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

CD Universe is showing that the old version is letterboxed and the new version is full screen.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

^^The first release (1999) is in a snapper case and has the words "Stanley Kubrick Collection" in a blue band across the top of the case w/o the wording "Digitally restored and remastered".

Next was the 2001 release, with the blue band and the wording "Digitally restored and remastered" added below the "Kubrick" line. I think this was also in a snapper case.

The most recent (2007) is in a keep case and has no blue banner/wording across the top.

All have the release date in the "program content" blurb on the back of the case. One "review" I read had this to say about the "new" release:

"...the package art now carries a 2007 date, the disc inside is the same as the 2001 release. It is NOT anamorphically enhanced. In fact, the files on the DVD are dated 2001, so it literally is the exact DVD release in 2001 - the menu is the same as well. The only difference is this comes in a keep case rather than a snapper case."

So it appears there's no true difference if this is correct. And all disks indicate "widescreen" with a 1.66/1 aspect ratio.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I could really use a Saved By The Bell movie if anyone finds one.

Thanks

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

[QUOTE=conehead433;9479216]even though the difference may be minor, I wouldnt want anything that is edited from the original version, on general principles.
