Picked up a new BR copy of Your Name at the local overstock liquidators for less than $10. Also Ariel Pink's Pom Pom on 2LP vinyl for $5 (snagged 2 copies of that one, tbh; one to sell & one to keep). The vinyl was mixed in with a pallet load of dog shit calendars, just the 2 APs and one lonely copy of something by Panic! at the Disco, its cover oddly reminiscent of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.
Weird, cuz their stock is usually limited to expired snack experiments and huge loafers. They had Baby Driver too, but...

Swap meet today, $1 each. And while I appreciate the low prices for used DVDs these days, I can't help but think this portends that new DVDs won't be released as much as before, and re-sellers will give up trying to make money selling used disks. There was a guy that had a very large catalog of disks that sold here but he's been gone for over a year. He charged $4 or $5 per disk but there was good depth in his bins.

Just ordered the Blu-Ray of Ridley Scott's The Counselor (screenplay by Cormac McCarthy) on eBay for $5. It's actually a 2 Blu-Ray set, because it includes a director's cut that's 20 minutes longer. Since it was one of the most baffling, insane movies I've ever sat through in a theater, I figured I'd check out the long version and see if it gets even weirder.

I passed on The Best of Times (the Robin Williams/Kurt Russel movie) because I couldn't remember if it was supposed to be any good, and a couple of seasons of Frasier because I'm pretty sure the whole season is available for free On Demand. But mostly because I didn't want to break any large bills (also bought a book).
― Police, Academy (cryptosicko), Saturday, 4 August 2018 17:57 (five years ago) link
Was that Ciao, Manhattan the PlexiFilm edition? That was one of my first DVDs. A nice faux-Criterion edition with some great bounses, particularly the deleted scenes. You get to see Paul America throw his script away and speed off set in a sports car, a party scene that the director appeared in but doesn't remember (in the commentary, the interviewer notes the huge toke he took off a joint on-camera and says, "that's why!"), and footage from this big be-in thing with Allen Ginsberg and Uma Thurman's parents.
