Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

October looks to be a CRAMMED month of Blu releases, with a ton of new releases as well as some very long-awaited catalog releases. What are you planning on getting, and what will you pass on? And any guesses on which ones will be cheap before Christmas?

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Grindhouse and Wolverine and the X-Men are the only ones I have pre-ordered, and that's because I got good prices on them. There's a few other things I will get at some point down the line when I can get them cheap enough.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

I'm probably going to wait till next month when the holiday sales start up to pick up most of October's releases.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

The only ones I'm interested in are

Grindhouse: Special Edition (Vivendi)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) (Warner Brothers)
How to Train Your Dragon (Paramount)
Predators (20th Century Fox)
Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy (Universal)

And I'll probably wait until Black Friday or when the black friday ads leak to pick any of them up. I think this holiday season will suffer in DVD/Bluray sales just because this summer had such shitty movies. The only other movies that I might get this fall would be Inception, Machete, Iron Man 2, Get Him To The Greek, Avatar Special Edition (I didnt get the barebones)

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Expensive. I should start saving now and not buying for the rest of September :)

30 Days Of Night: Dark Days
Beauty and The Beast (Diamond Edition)
Grindhouse (Special Edition)
The Human Centipede
The Maltese Falcon
A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)
How To Train Your Dragon
Splice
House (1977)

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Don't forget about those Halloween horror sales that pop up every year to promote the Halloween season.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Looks like my wallet will rest well that month. Nothing there I want to buy.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Not a whole lot...most of it will be gifts for the GF (Romeo, Rocky, Moulon).

2001 Maniacs (Lionsgate)

Though half of those I already own thanks to Best Buy Lionsgate exclusives.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Too many to list all my wants but the big ones are BTTF Trilogy and Apocalypse Now.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Apocalypse Now and Psycho for sure, will hold out for separate releases on Alien/s and BTTF.

Grindhouse and Seven Samurai when they're on sale.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

A pretty good month, but I'm not sure I'd characterize it as "awesome" - Apocalypse Now, The Magician, Maltese Falcon, Psycho and Treasure of the Sieera Madre for me.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Just BTTF for me in October. Each of the next three months have one big release I'm really looking forward to: King Kong in Sept, BTTF in Oct, and TS3 in Nov.

It's going to be an exciting fall season on Blu.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

HAH! Got it for $13.99, bitch! HAHA! *humping the air around him* Amazon fucked that up and BAM! that f'ing BD was mine!

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

First i have heard of Mega Piranha coming to Blu. I am really looking forward to it :D I love The Asylum

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Same. Almost everything is on hold till Black Friday and after for me. Looks like a total of ten October releases, but will probably hold off on Red Dragon, Three Kings, and The Mission till next yr... don't care as much about them. Darjeeling should be a lock for a Nov B&N sale... so that really only leaves six to try and strategically get in Nov-Dec.

Back to the Future
Apocalypse Now
Predators
The Mission
Darjeeling Limited
Red Dragon
Last of the Mohicans

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

I have been much more selective about buying blu-rays than I was about buying DVD's, so the only "must buy" for me on that list is The Last of the Mohicans.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Those of you getting Mad Max on October 5th, be sure to double check your pre order to make sure that you have the one thats in the Bluray packaging, and not the dvd packaging by mistake.

I had preorderd mad max as soon as the pre order went up not realizing 2 days latter that they added a second pre order and that one was now bluray packaging and the first one was in fact in dvd packaging.

the one in the dvd packaging was the first pre order to go up and it had no picture or mention of dvd caseing at the time.
http://www.amazon.com/Mad-Max-Wbr-Me...3756825&sr=1-2

two days latter a second listing went up with bluray packaging and artwork in the bluray case.
and amazon then update the first listing to show the dvd packaging.
so i promptly canceled it and orderd the right one.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

I'll probably pick up Beauty & The Beat and Rocky Horror on release day. Alien Anthology and Apocalypse Now can wait until Black Friday. I'm going to hold out hope that they will release the first BTTF film separately from the box set.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

I definitely wouldn't characterize October as being an "awesome" month, there have been better this year. The two big box sets are great, but I can wait until X-mas for movies I've seen a thousand times already. The Criterions are indeed awesome, but when they can be had for $13 during the B&N sale its not a big deal. A couple of good TV releases with (Dollhouse, Wolverine, & Clone Wars) & the Bogie films are nice, but again, films I've seen a hundred times.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

October's not going to be expensive for me at all. Since we're already seeing major titles available for $10 or less, there's no freakin' way I'm spending $25-$30 for a blu-ray, especially catalog titles.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

october is only going to be expensive for the impatient.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

There are quite a few movies that I WANT but I will wait for the price to drop first

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

Just Beauty and the Beast for us. Maybe Back to the Future, depending on release week deals.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

It goes without saying that I'm not buying anything until the 25% off sale.

Re: Just how incredibly expensive and awesome will October be for you?
 

It's like a nice evening out since the summer was pretty bare this year.
