Dining Dead

I know a lot of people hated this film, but I liked it. I want to get it on blu but don't understand why it is so expensive. I don't think I've ever seen it cheaper than $25. It's always on ebay in the $30 range & no one ever buys.

Why are some blu-rays like this so ridiculously expensive? Has anyone ever seen a good deal on this film?

It's Universal so eventually you'll see this on sale in the $15-20 range, just got to keep an eye on the ads or Amazon.com.

Man, this film was horrific. Sophia is going to be a one hit wonder (Lost in Translation).

Anyway, give it a few months. It'll drop soon enough. It probably didn't sell much, so stores will eventually offer it at a low price.

Did you forget The Virgin Suicides? Also, Marie Antoinette received mixed reviews but won several awards.

Gizmo

Both horrible (though it's been years since I've seen TVS). Not even Jason Schwartzman could save Marie Antoinette. LiT is still the only film I like. I keep on giving her a chance...hoping for something.

In any case, this thread is in the wrong forum, as the OP is looking for the cheapest price. Actually, it doesn't belong in the Blu-ray Bargains either, since it isn't a bargain.

I didn't hate it but I didn't really like it either. To quote 30 Rock, "You wouldn't think a movie called Somewhere would go nowhere."

Her biggest miscalculation is the fact I didn't feel sorry for him for one second. I would love to have his problems. She can't really connect with regular people. All her films are about affluent people because this is what she knows.

The characters in Virgin Suicides were about as regular as they come - middle-class suburbanites.

MOD NOTE: The lowest price is not all that's being discussed. Nor is it all that the OP asked.

I think that was the point. The dude had a smoking Ferrari, had everything, yet had nothing - UNTIL he wakes up, as we all do at some point. The age old tale.

I sort of liked it.

I sort of liked it too. The more I thought about it later. I thought the scenes with him and the kid playing video games were legitimately sweet.

Gizmo

Funny, The Virgin Suicides is .99 HDX rental today only on Vudu. Think I'll give it another shot.

This thread is a paradox. Doc Brown would cock his eye at it in consternation.

So what? Let her be the chick who makes movies about affluent people. If that's the world she knows, then at least the rest of us can go along for the ride and see what's doing up in there. Tarantino doesn't make movies about normal people either. I don't see anything wrong with watching movies about people who are different from me. In fact I prefer it. I might learn something. I think that people who can only relate to movies about "people like me" are the ones who can't connect (I'm not saying that's you, I'm just saying..).

I'm not sure that we're supposed to feel sorry for him, and I don't either. I found a lot aggravating about the movie, the interminable opening, all the wall-staring, but ultimately, the movie is aging like a fine wine in my head and I'm appreciating it more as time goes by.
