Assume that all of these are available to all customers unless specifically listed as member only like the Welcome Package. Also remember that any preliminary codes are just that and BN could pull it, change the details or exclusions anything prior to release so always a bit of YMMV until the final release date

Mini FAQ
Coupons should not work for PREORDERS , Nook, Legos, Rosetta Stone, Digital, Gift Cards, Memberships, etc. There are glitches where sometimes an excluded item will be allowed but assume that is the exception to the rule
Free Shipping is $25 (before tax/shipping) or with membership.
Max 3 GC on a single online order.
Online only a single code can be applied to an order
Return period is 14 days after delivery (possibly 30 days for members though I've never tried)
Online ordered items can returned to a local store unless it's classified as a web-only item then it's at the store's discretion to accept
The long standing Free 60 day Trial Offer was discontinued in late May 2016


STORE ONLY 15% OFF Coupons -- Unknown if multi-use or if will work on 40% Off Items
15% OFF Single Item Exp 12/31/2017 (I)

Agreed... I think just stay with this one thread and no need to repost the start every 800 posts. There could be a stat at the end that shows what our post count equals to how many parts there would have been.

I just watched ZombeX and was looking to completely dislike the film and probably abandon it 20 minutes in. But surprisingly it was quite watchable. I actually would say I even didn't mind it. Worth the $1 and change I paid for it at Dollar General. Don't mistake this as a recommendation though.

Making my way through the Resident Evil series...at first, I was questioning my judgment, but I've grown to like them. I haven't seen the newest (and apparently last) one. My older brother stopped by while I was watching one of them and he said he was disappointed with the last one. I'll find out shortly. Ah, well. At least I can check it off my list.

I agree. I started to question the repost of #1 at 800 - after all, it's post #1 and easily located. Finding the repost at intervals of 800 - not so much. Maybe just a large font announcing the millstone along with a link to post #1 in case someone forgot or just doesn't know.

Last night I watched Subspecies (1991). It has an "R" rating but, other than a few shots of breasts, I saw nothing that's even PG-13 bad. It played more like a very bad made-for-tv movie that happened to show naked breasts a few times. I appreciated that they used more authentic locations for a vampire film and that they tried to stick to lore as much as possible. Other than that the made-for-tv look and directing style truly hurt the film.

I realize the budget was smaller for RE: The Final Chapter, but it was still in the same area as some of the previous installments and more than the first one. This last movie is torturous. It looks cheaply made and gives no mention to any missing characters such as Chris, Ada, Leon, Jill, or K-Mart. I wasn't a huge fan of the series, but those who are have to have felt ripped off.

Sucks there was no BR3D release on that one either. Thats why I haven't seen it yet.

An opinion I do not share. Also it was $3.95 +tax

A reminder ... for those with TCM and are unfamiliar with the work of Nobuo Nakagawa, there's a double feature of his two most famous movies in the wee hours of the morning (Ghost Story of Yotsuya and Jigoku).

Alright, point taken. I'll just include a link next time.

No respect for traditions.

It's currently being worked on. Sometimes they're a bit late.

To quote a popular game show, "That's too much!". If I paid that amount my opinion would probably have changed. Crazy how just a price of something can change your perception of enjoyment.

Ah, crap. I completely forgot to submit my answers for this last one.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/

After the first week of the challenge, I've managed to watch a massive 7 films (and some shorts). Most have been meh so far. Some talking points:

Grave (2016) - I don't know why this is labelled Grave on IMDb since everyone knows it as Raw (right?), but anyway. I really loved this. Everything about it was great; cinematography, sound design, character development, acting. My boyfriend came home halfway through and watched the rest, and he was so impressed he's already calling it one of his favourite ever films and he hasn't even seen the first 45 minutes lol.

It (2017) - Although I've never read the book, I was obsessed with the miniseries when I was 12 and wasn't really interested in the remake, but decided to check it out anyway. I didn't think it was that great, pretty standard 'mainstream cinema' fare, but it was ok. The child actors were very good, but Pennywise was awful and not scary at all (he seemed more mentally retarded than evil, with the mindless staring and moving eyes). I liked the non-horror scenes much more than all the horror scenes. I also felt that it stood on its own well without feeling like a pointless retread, so it never felt like an insulting remake.


I wanted to see Mother this week before it gets pulled from our indie cinema, but I have a lot of uni assessments and work this week, so I doubt that's gonna happen during the challenge.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/

Return of the Living Dead...for me, this is the most fun zombie movie ever made and my all-time favorite. It's hard to compare it to others as it's full of humor, but if I had to choose one zombie movie in a desert island scenario, this would be it. It's so atmospheric, the humor is fun, and the Tar Man is great, as are the characters. Outside of the first very fake-looking reanimated corpse, there's nothing I don't enjoy about this one. Used to watch it on a loop as a kid, but it got lost for a while when VHS died out and DVD took over. There were some issues with the music at one point that prevented a release. I rediscovered it after it finally got a DVD/Blu-Ray release and it's even better to me now than it was then. I'll probably revisit this with commentary at some point.

I figured I'd check in here before watching a movie and congratulate the lucky winner, only to see my name in this post.

Thank you, Chad and Goldenwheels & Hamilton Books! That's a great stack of Blu-rays.

And there's still five more like it to be given away. The prize packs GoldenWheels puts together each year are always amazing (and somehow keep getting bigger). I never thought I'd actually win one.

Congrats to the winners! I was just happy I knew one of the answers for the bonus question. I think that was the first time that has happened. Chad must have been taking it a little easy on us this year.
