I'd Buy That DVD for...Somewhere in the Neighborhood of $5

saw a DVD of Morvern Callar for a buck at a record store in LA today. That's definitely worth a dollar!

More 20% Off Blu-Rays At Big Lots:

Friday Night Lights [film] ($2.39)
Terminator ($5.59)
Psycho 60th Anniversary [two cuts] ($7.19)
West Side Story 50th Anniversary Blu Combo ($7.99)

I put back a copy of the Twin Peaks Gold DVD Set, which would have been about $16 w/the discount.

The FNL is one of those early Blus with the breathless back cover notes about quaint stuff like "High Definition" and "BluRay Live".

Ah, that's not as fun as digging through stacks of discs flanked by discontinued lawn furntiture and nearly expired Little Debbie's.

Prophecy? 10 years on and the fourway rack with the movies was next to another one packed with Little Debbie's.

I'm sick y'all...they keep sending me Big Lots coupons

Was in the Giant Tiger in Stratford today, which I used to post about regularly in this thread. They still keep one stand-up rack of sale DVDs. Truly honoring the spirit of this thread, got Indecent Proposal and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (2005 issue) for $4.99 each. I'd say it's about 70/30 against me ever watching the latter.

$4 today at Goodwill: A Hard Day's Night, 2-disk version.

Thrift store today, $2 for Cat Ballou. (I've never seen it.)

Cat Ballou is OK-ish. It's Hollywood's version of self-satire. Even the musical soundtrack is self-consciously satirical. In case the audience doesn't 'get it', it all but screams "we're just having a bit of harmless fun here, good people!"

$1.50 at a thrift store:
The Eye of the Beholder: The Artistry of James Hubbell (he's an "Organic" architect)

$2 at a thrift store, Moonrise Kingdom

I liked this one when I saw it years ago, but Anderson's batting average has been low lately.

And lol, at the same store I bought a DVD cabinet, that allegedly holds 183 DVDs ($10).

Thrift store today, $2 each

Deliverance
Fever the Music of Peggy Lee

Saw this on FB, reminded me of this thread: A store in Round Rock, TX is closing (owner retiring) and the stock is being auctioned online in lots.

Gaylord Pallets of 1300 DVD/Blus and 3000+ CDs apiece.

Opening bids of $5 per pallet. (Now up to $6-7!)

Shipping is probably a nightmare, so these are either locals for pickup, or big-time operators who can handle it.

But Good Fucking Grief at that volume of product!

We Own The Night & Perdita Durango for 9 euro at CEX lastcweek

Was in my first-ever Big Lots today in Michigan and got two 30 for 30 boxes for $5 (Vol. 2, 16-30) and $7 (Vol. 1, 1-15). To balance that with some consumer stupidity, I bought a box--"box"--of 2022 baseball cards for $17 thinking there were 100 cards in there and there were 12.

Any good movies on the boxes?

... there were 12.

Oh, and welcome to America.

I'm mostly interested in the baseball 30 x 30s: "Fernando Nation," "Four Days in October" (2004 Red Sox), "The House of Steinbrenner," "You Don't Know Bo." But many others look good too, including one on Ben Johnson, the Canadian sprinter.

Went yard-sale cruising this morning, generally a bad/sad experience around here, but found Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia DVD for a buck.
