Man, I liked Fantastic Four (especially the new extended cut!) but now that I read Craig134 doesn't like it, I can't like it anymore either! I have to hate it so craig134 will think I'm cooooool.

Which isn't to say I don't enjoy a shlocky movie, just that I would never purchase something which is filth. And I don't know, the taste of someone would quibble with say: Edward Scissorhands, The Lives of Others, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pan's Labyrinth, Dr. Stangelove, Casablanca or something in that vein is pretty suspect. Don't mind my rant; I just get annoyed when consumer dollars flow toward tripe, so yet more can be pumped out next fiscal year.

Just when I think I got them all hunted down, I find out there's a K-Mart exclusive. What is it exactly? There's not a K-Mart anywhere near me so I can't just go down there and pick it up. Thanks.

Need someone to help me track down a Circuit City 3-disc version. I have no Circuit City store near me! Will be happy to pay for it via Paypal. I'm a Gold Trader in the exchange forum. Thanks!

I put the K-mart CD in my drive yesterday. Was in a bit of a hurry, so only scanned it for a minute. Seemed super fluffy. A few pages of facts, a lame design your own chopper "game", some wallpaper from the internet. Definitely only for completist.

Yes Dane I open it.
Nothing against you but I always get the same question about it.
Some reference topic on questions if I open my DVDs

I bought the Wal-Mart and Circuit City versions,and am debating whether or not to keep the Theatrical part of the Wal-Mart package. I have watched the Circuit City disc and thought while it was short,I thought it was pretty good. I actually liked Ghost Rider,and never got to see the Theatrical cut in theatres,but liked the Extended.

Did anyone notice that at Best Buy the free book they gave away was ringing in at $39.99? I got a good laugh from that one, so if someone just wanted the book and not the dvd it would cost $39.99! The book does have a cover price of $19.99 on Amazon so I think it was a cool freebie! As for the movie, that was the absolute worst Marvel movie I have ever seen, even worse than Man-Thing and the original Punisher....

I couldn't find the best buy book at one of my local bbuy's, so figured why not just order the thing and hope for the best (the best meaning my copy isn't trashed like every other item that gets sent my way from walmart & best buy)....Long story short, I got it and it's fine and it's a really good looking book. The clerk at best buy made it sound like it was a flimsy pamphlet when I asked the guy if he had anymore the other day. So I was surprised.
Now waiting for the walmart set to arrive. That I have a feeling will be trashed, though I hope they box it since I ordered a few things with it.
If I'm not mistaken. The original one is twice the size, not content wise though. Just as far as height goes. I think I read that somewhere.

A friend at work rented this and we watched it during our downtime in the office. It was a semi-entertaining flick, but definitely not worth a purchase. Lots of goofy dialogue and Nic Cage is soooo miscasted as Johnny Blaze.
I might get this down the road if the price drops below 10 bucks.

I am now the Costco version away from having all the US Ghost Rider dvds. Thanks for the updated picture. Of course, this cover of the R2 2-Disc HMV exclusive is really awesome. I think I am going to have to expand my Ghost Rider collection to include that one too.
