And since it's only $14.99 at Target:

[SilverZ]

Any place have a good deal on Frighteners worth going out of the way for? I'm fully expecting to not find it sitting at Target, which is the only place anywhere near my path home.

[Rob]

I don't know if you have Fry's in your neck of the country, but I got mine at Best Buy - price matched with Fry's for $14.99

And it has a free ticket to King Kong in it - so it's a good deal.


That Jurassic Park boxed set is also $14.99 at Target, and it also has a free ticket to King Kong.  So now I don't even have to pay for the girlfriend.

Rented and watched "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" today, and enjoyed it, but I'm holding out for the two disc that's dropping early next year. As for the rest, bought "The Muppet Movie", "The Great Muppet Caper", "Sky High" and "March of the Penguins". "The Frighteners" isn't own worthy, IMO, and I got the old "Jurassic Park" Trilogy, with the bonus disc, for $15 a month or so ago.

I'll eventually get "King Kong vs Godzilla".

The last few weeks my WM and CC have been dueling it out with prices on new releases during the Holiday Crunch.  They have been running between $12 and $13 each.

[Rob]

Let's be fair, other than MAYBE Cinderella Man, none of those Dvds should cost more than 12 or 13 dollars.

[SilverZ]

The Moon Rulz.

[Ben]

Stop fueling my silent rage. 


Man, I wish I wasn't broke. I want to pick up F4, Cinderella Man, Clone Wars 2, and that Jurassic Park collection. It'll probably have to wait until after the holidays.

Just Fantastic Four at Wal-Mart (Bonus Disc) for me this week. Taking it very, very easy.

[ruiner]

I'm not allowed to buy movies until X-Mas has passed.

 

[Rob]

I'm taking it easy this week too - just:

[Jedi Idej]

Clone Wars 2 and Fantastic Four.

I noticed FF at Target has a sticker that says a bonus exclusive dvd is incuded -- 15 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage and trailers. I'm not big on these store exclusive bonus footage (well, at least not a fan of paying $5  more for Walmart's bonus dvd even if it is 50 minutes of something or other), but since Walmart's barebones version is the same price as Target's w/ bonus dvd, I'll be returning Walmart's.

[Cory Chaos]

The price really depends on the market. Some Wal Marts have the 2 disc for $13.97 er whatever wacky price. The Target bonus disc is really crappy, however.

Includes:

The Baxter Building: Declassified - 6 min, 45 sec
Fantastic Four: Comic Book to Film - 3 min, 50 sec
Trailers: Daredevil, Electra, X2, LxG

So, 10 minutes of features, and old trailers to mostly crappy comic book movies, as opposed to a 50 minute documentary on the making of the movie for anywhere from $0.00 to $4. It's all up to the buyer.

This is a general question for everyone:

What percentage of your DVD collection have you watched? (Keeping in mind multi-disc TV shows, and extras.)

[Jeff]

I grabbed these 3 yesterday...

What percentage of your DVD collection have you watched? (Keeping in mind multi-disc TV shows, and extras.)

About 90% of our collection has been watched at least once, about 50% has been watched multiple times (2-3), and about 25% has been watched over and over and over again (SW, LotR, Indy, Disney Animated, etc).

The only TV on DVD we have is Firefly and Alias (Seasons 1-4), and those are usually watched while walking on the treadmill (a good time for watching stuff like that since they are about ~45min per episode) otherwise I probably wouldn't sit down and just watch them the same way I'd pop in a movie to watch.
