I was at a Circuit City Tuesday and they didn't have it. Told me they didn't get it.

At Best Buy, I couldn't find it after checking new releases and comedy. After I asked, someone found one somewhere. But at $14.99, it's a bit more than I'd want to spend. I'm sure at some point it'll come down to $9.99.

Used to be release week was always the time to buy for the best price. Just ain't so no more. (Price drops used to take years, now it's weeks or maybe a month or so.)

I had a $5 RZ certif, but instead of getting Big, I used it towards Clerks X, to go with my $8.99 purchase of Clerks II at CCity. Yeah, I went for the raunchy comedy instead of the cute comedy.

Has anyone noticed any pixelation problems at the start of the film when Mrs. Baskin pokes her head into Josh's bedroom to tell him to go to sleep?

It happens on my JVC.

No need to apologize, I was just a bit confused.

I'd just like to say that the commentary track on this DVD is outstanding. If any of you guys write at all, you'll find it very interesting. Heck, even if you don't right I think you'll find the entire thing interesting. Here is what the DVD review from HTF said about it:

Disc one includes a Big Brainstorming writers audio commentary hosted by DVD producer Pete Vantrella with contributors Anne Spielberg and Gary Ross. The commentary is unique in the sense that it’s not entirely contributed to in ‘real time.’ The commentary includes old recordings taped by the two writers when they were penning their ideas. It just so happened that Spielberg recorded many of these "get togethers" and now we can here snippets of them. They are edited down to include highlights but they are presented in the original order so you can get an idea of the order of the construction of the film with collaborative writing. You can listen to this commentary with the theatrical version only.
I've listened to most of it, and it's very, very interesting. I've never heard a commentary track quite like this one, where you actually hear a recording of when they were actually first forming the ideas back when they were actually writing the screenplay.

Agreed. This is one of the best commentaries I've ever heard. Facinating.
