Cheap DVD buys

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

Today's BigLots haul included Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, District 9, Brick, and Spider-Man 3. I only got the last one because I like to watch it from time to time and reignite my rage at what a godawful shitty film it is. And I hate not having the trilogy.

At Walmart's Black Friday sale, I got Inception, The Matrix, and The Terminator on Blu-ray for $5 each. More recently I got T2 on Blu-ray at Target for $4.75. Yeah.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

not exactly "cheap" but Best Buy has 50% off HBO dvds, so I know for a fact that Season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm will be under the tree for me tomorrow. :)

WM had a DVD display with a bunch of WarnerBros movies for $4. I got 300 and Clash of the Titans. The latter I've not seen, but for $4 I figured what the hell.

If its the new Clash, then you got ripped off.
I saw it for free and I feel ripped off.

I dunno if it's quite "cheap," but I figured I'd mention this here.

Boardwalk Empire Season 1 is cheapest this week at Best Buy, for $29.99.

I was going to wait, since Costco usually has deals on HBO series around Christmas. However, Best Buy also has a bonus disc with two additional historical features and the first episode of Season 2.

Add in a current promotion where buying any HBO TV show season set there gets you an additional bonus disc with the first episode of Game of Thrones, and I couldn't resist.

I'd be hesitant to recommend something like this without seeing it, but I highly recommend taking advantage of this if you don't have HBO. The show is fucking amazing, and not just to see Steve Buscemi finally get a chance to shine as something other than a weaselly background character.

I saw it was pretty cheap and considered buying it.


But then I remembered you have terrible taste in quite a few movies/tv shows.

I bought the Blade 4-pack, with the Trilogy, plus the made for TV Pilot starring some rapper. For $10. I figure that's like three bucks for each film, and a McDs Cheeseburger for the TV shit. And it was a glaring hole in my Marvel Movie Shelf.

I'm one of maybe 6 people that actually liked the Blade tv series.
It was far, FAR from perfect and I see the show's numerous flaws, but I still enjoyed it. And the DVD set had nudity.

Keep meaning to post this, and just remembered:

Dollar Tree has had several "real" movies recently. Mostly shit. Their flyer lists The Da Vinci Code, but I've never seen it.

I did happen upon a copy of the anime version of Metropolis. I figured a buck for a critically-acclaimed anime was worth it. Normally, if American critics (who don't live in their parents' basements) dig a Japanese cartoon, I do too.
