Nosaj Thing Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 As soon as they announced the discount on Facebook I jumped on The Game, Traffic and The Seventh Seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thinking about The Game, Rushmore and Eating Raoul. Is the last one worth a blind buy for $20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thinking about The Game, Rushmore and Eating Raoul. Is the last one worth a blind buy for $20?I never blind buy - not after Ghostbusters. I'll only blind buy if its something I don't already have on DVD anyways (And its cheap).

James Bond Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Looks like I'll be ordering Bond 50 from Amazon.com as that seems to be the cheapest. $150 for the set which isn't all that bad for 22 Blu-rays. Even after the shipping and duty fees it ends up being cheaper than if I ordered from Amazon.ca. Plus, I won't have to worry about my much hated French/English writing on the box. This is definitely a good year to be a Bond fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Criterion.com Thanks, just ordered The Stones documentary Gimme Shelter on Bluray........ saved a couple of buck over AmazonYou didn't like Ghostbusters?!Just got that at Best Buy for $7.99 for my daughters but is it a bad transfer as we have not watched it yet?

Black Sabbath Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 No, it's a decent transfer on the Ghostbusters blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You didn't like Ghostbusters?!Not at all, thought it was the worst transfer I've seen besides Spinal Tap. SO. GRAINY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Eating Raoul. Is the last one worth a blind buy for $20?It's not a movie for everyone, so I dunno.I saw it when it came out and really liked it...maybe because I was extremely baked. I'm looking forward to it all the same.I've got a blind buy for ya...pick up Antichrist.I double dog dare you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The Game sold out on the Flash Criterion sale, so I'm just going to pick it up tomorrow.Still thinking about Rushmore, and blind buying 2/3 of these: Gimmie Shelter, Traffic, Dazed & ConfusedRecommendations? $20 each.

I don't know about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Alright, so it's down to Gimmie Shelter or Dazed & Confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Alright, so it's down to Gimmie Shelter or Dazed & Confused!Gimme Shelter is the better deal, Dazed and Confused always lands on the $20 deals...not so much Gimme Shelter.Both are great though.

Black Sabbath Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yeah, still trying to decide. We'll see.I'm price matching Target's price for Avengers 3D tomorrow and work (not really worried about the bonus disc from Target), and after my pre-order deposit I'll end up paying $12.50 for it tomorrow. Also going to price match The Game before the Flash Sale ends and grab that for $20 tomorrow. Should be a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I went nuts on that Criterion sale, had the cart racked up for hundreds of dollars (after discount), but I took a step back and whittled it down to a few key releases that I wanted.One was Haxan...it's not blu-ray...should I leave?

Black Sabbath Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Get out. But yeah, if my new job was started already I'd grab a few more released, but I'm trying to stick to just $60 right now. I'm leaning towards Gimmie Shelter, because although I'm sure I'll find Dazed funny, I'm sure it's more enjoyable while baked, which is something I don't partake in. I'll pick it up another time.

Black Sabbath Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Also, for those of you who enjoyed Prometheus enough to want to buy it and aren't a steelbook fiend like myself or pi2loc, Gohastings.com has the 3D combo pack for pre-order for $25. Not a bad deal and I'd jump on it myself if I wasn't trying to get the steelbook. I finally jumped on this set also. Can't wait to get it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter features REAL stoned people, not actors pretending to be stoned. Gimme Shelter is fascinating.Yeah the Stones shit is great, but it's also a closer look at what was really going on at the time...not this trumped up shit that Woodstock tries to evoke.People refer to Gimme Shelter as the end of the Hippie era, or the Woodstock nation or whatever.What it manages to do is give a glimpse at the truth.It was just as ugly as any decade, there's always a seedy underbelly.Drug addiction, Hell's Angels, violence, murder, sleazy characters, in this case set to the soundtrack of a rock band at a badly mounted rock concert.I wouldn't have wanted to be down front at that gig I'll tell ya!

Black Sabbath Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 That's a damn good definition and it easily lured me into taking Dazed out of the cart And I would have wanted to be at the front of that gig - I like a challenge!
