I got this in the mail today.  8)



Good score there Dale! Love the Star Wars-like cover  ;D

I myself picked up To Kill a Mockingbird and Dead and Breakfast.

Looking forward to The Outsiders on the 20th.
I remember my dream now.

Incredibly light week for me. There are conflicting reports on "Carlito's Way", so, perhaps we'll see it. Otherwise, just "Hitchikers" for me, possibly "Ben Hur".

I just dropped $200 on 3 discs, personally, so I could use a break.  :P

This Island Earth - Buy It Now - $19.00

This Island Earth - Buy It Now - $21.99


Copies, better yet, bootlegs, boss. That is if they even actually have them, given they haven't recieved any feedback for any of the movies they've sold. I have the real deal in my possession. That seller's feedback is made up entirely of purchased ratings, i.e. $1 for "How To Get More Feedback on eBay!" scams.

Unless, of course, they actually have 10 copies of "This Island Earth" for sale, per their auctions..or 10 of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000"..or the alternate ending "Little Shop of Horrors"..or "Fletch". Better yet, strange how they've had 4 Vinyl caped Jawas for sale in the past month.

Here's a link for ya..

AUTHENTIC "This Island Earth" - $114

Well, shoot! Aside from my copy, that's the only REAL "This Island Earth" that has been on eBay in the past MONTH.

I dont' see anything to suggest that the second link I posted is a bootleg - the guy has over 400 positive feedbacks and says it's from his personal collection.

But either way - I'd rather have a 20 dollar copy than a $100.00 dvd of a movie that can be had in a double feature disc and will in all probability see a re-release sometime in the next year.

But if you're happy, I'm happy.

Rob - I think the second auction is a bootleg:

"This import is a Region 0 of a movie that is long out of print. Full menu and chapter selections, menu, full dvd case with art work. dvd has no label.  Any questions, ask."

Well, I meant the first seller, namely, because I asked about their copies of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000: The Movie", that was, before I got this one, and of course, no answer. Another  seller was kind enough to admit to it being a DVD-R.

Region 0's DVD's are crap shoots, really. Image Entertainment lost their licenses for both TIE and MST3K, having let their contract on them expire in the same year (2001), thus becoming discontinued. If the day does come where either of these become obsolete by way of re-issue, I'll be the first to know, and I don't think I'll have a hard time flipping them, either. MST3K likely won't EVER happen due to it being pulled for license expiration and unresolved MSRP issues with Universal (ironically featuring "This Island Earth").

I'm far beyond happy, I've been fortunate enough to finally obtain two of both my, and 1,000's of other serious DVD collectors, most sought after discs of all time. I don't have interest in Criterion's "Salo" or "The Killer", so I can now die happy ecstatic. $100 is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

I finally managed to pick up Sin City today. I forgot all about Hitchhiker's, though I was a little unimpressed by that one.
