I was at Walmart today and they had a BHT display box with about 50 copies! The BHT display seemed bigger than anything else there.
It's a great film. I just watched it again last night with the KING commentary and that has to be the best commentary yet. It was funny!!!

You can find our extensive review of the US region 1 release of Bubba Ho-Tep here.
Snippet:
Bubba Ho-Tep may not be to everyone's taste. Those looking for a comedy classic will be sorely disappointed, but if you are looking for something different, if not a little unique, then you will find much to like. Acting god Bruce Campbell puts in the performance of a life time - his Elvis may even surpass Ash as the role he is eventually remembered for - while Ossie Davis could almost have you believing that JFK escaped the snipers' bullets back in Dallas.
For such a low budget film, MGM's DVD is very impressive indeed. A decent transfer is accompanied by a superb soundtrack and a great selection of extras that would put many other blockbuster releases to shame. For less than 14 squid you can't really go wrong.

I did happen to go to your site and visited the forums. I found it amusing that someone was biiiiatched out and had their link removed for doing precisely what you are doing.

We have only ever removed links to illegal / profitable sites. The one that you are talking about (if within the last month) is probably the person who tried to link to their own shop selling illegal warez.
We have people advertising their reviews / news articles on our forum, as do the other major forums on the web (such as Home Theater Forum and The DVD Forums). As long as people are being helpful with their posting, and are not linking to profitable sites or illegal warez then surely there is no problem?
I have been posting links to our high profile / rare reviews on these three (previously mentioned) forums for well over a year now, and have had no posts deleted. Surely a link to a review of a DVD posted in an already created thread about said DVD is fine?
Especially as DVD Debate is both non-profitable and does not deal in any illegal warez of any kind.
