Found "Fletch" last night while picking up Star Wars.  Then I rushed right out this morning to put it in my safety deposit box.  Twenty years from now, I'm gonna use it to put my kids through school.


Boo. Hiss. Shoulda nabbed a lenticular cover "Batman Begins". That's where the money is(n't).

Found the sole funding of my not-so-distant Criterion Spinal Tap purchase. A mere $200 $15, and some warm fuzzies...

Theatrical cut.  Deleted scenes are separate.

But an Anamorphic transfer..which is why I'm biting.

Anyone springin' for that "Office Space - Extra Special Edition" boxed set with all the goodies? The Lebowski set was discontinued after it's first week, so when it's gone, it's gone, and I fear this will be the same. For $23, it's loaded. Of course, it's another Best Buy exclusive.



Special Features:
- Fullscreen Feature/Widescreen Feature
- Out of the Office: An Office Space Retrospective with Mike Judge
- Deleted Scenes: Peter Lies to Lumbergh, Happy Hour and Chotchkies, Peter Goes off on Nina, and Tom's Mixed Heritage Called into Question
- Thearical Trailer
- DVD-ROM audio
- Visual downloads
-Stapler
- Mousepad
- Coffee Mug
- Magnet picture frame
- Notepad
- Pen/Pencil

I'm starting to believe the set was never issued with just the incorrectly credited comic. Just the error w/ slip, and the corrected version. the first one I bought the day it was released was corrected, and wasn't from Best Buy. I figured that since Best Buy had a limited promotion with the slipcase, perhaps their orders will filled first, because of the special handling w/ the lenticular covers, thus getting the first batch of error comics.

I figured I'd share my DVDTalk post regarding the whole Batman fiasco;

Quote
Discontinuation of the Deluxe Editions w/ comic book is the fear here, not necessarily the discs themselves going OOP. I've read a few things now, concerning MULTIPLE editions of the DVD itself.

1) 2 Disc SE w/ Comic - Incorrect Credits
2) 2 Disc SE w/ Comic - Incorrect Credits w/ Correction Slip
3) 2 Disc SE w/ Comic - Incorrect Credits & BB Exc. Cover
4) 2 Disc SE w/ Comic - Incorrect Credits w/ Correction Slip & BB Exc. Cover
5) 2 Disc SE w/o Comic & w/o Slipcase/Slipcover

I'd assume all releases with comic books have been halted indefinately in lieu of a 2 Disc SE in a gateway. That would suggest that the sets with comic books are the most desirable, especially those with the white correction slip, as well as the lenticular slipcased Best Buy editions.

If ANYONE can vouch that ANY of these exist, it would really clear things up. Has anyone purchased a Best Buy lenticular covered edition WITH the corrected credits? Given the gimmick cover was a first run promotion, I'd assume they all have the incorrect credits, and possibly the slip, unless the error wasn't caught until after initial shipments were made.

Anyone check out Exorcist Dominion?  Wondering if it is any better than the other prequel that was released.

"The Beginning" was originally Paul Schrader's film. Then, once they hired Renny Harlin to re-shoot some scenes, they ended up allowing his to reshoot the entire film, which ended up being a contrived mess. I've heard much more positive reviews for "Dominion", having been a coherent and intriguing story, unlike what was actually released. It confuses a good many people that come into my work, asking the same thing.

OK, so I was off by a couple years, but I believe the first DVD player hit the market in 1996.

1996 in Japan, 1997 in the US. First actual DVD's were 4 IMAX films, as if anyone bought those.

Just got off the phone with Best Buy Buddy, who told me that they just got in a bunch of *new* Deluxe versions sans the mini-comic (and the cardboard casing which the whole set came in).  Now it's just in a regular two-disc keepcase. 

There's been some weird reports that there was some supposed middle wave of "comic-ed" Deluxe sets with a "rights/credits correction" slip in the back of the comic itself.
Either way...

The BB RZ litho is really silly looking, IMO. I'm going to fork over the extra $5 and get the DVD. If you're really dedicated, you can can get both deals, and sell off one of your copies of the DVD.

Given I've used the term "entreprenuer" in the past, and the history of people and their hang-up's with me, it was knee-jerk. I haven't got anything to hide, thus providing a link to past auctions.

..but it might be worth it in the long run, especially when the scalpers entrepreneurs start grabbing these up and selling them on ebay as "OMG!!!1!! Super-rare OOP Batman Begins deluxe DVD.  HTF!!!!1!"



Lets get past these false assumptions and accusations and take the time to find my alleged "scalping" in my past auctions. I'll even give you the link.

Knock yourself out.

I mean, god forbid someone bought "Snatch" off of me for $9.99, or "Snow White" for $24.99. I'm pure evil.

As for the Batman DVD, rumors everywhere are that it is infact discontinued.  No one has been able to find it in any stores since about Wednesday - so you might have a hard time picking up a few to sell for profit later.

From my prior comment;

Anyone buying up $25 dollar sets for an ultimate $10 profit are just plain stupid, as are anyone that buy things that are still in production, looking to turn a profit.

I found one this afternoon at Best Buy, with the cover. 3 actually, but only purchased the one I needed, as I have always done when it comes to new releases. If anyone needs a copy and has PayPal, I could grab it for $24/shipped. Just LMK before 5:30 Central.

The prices gradually went up, apparently, because when I placed my order, it was the same price as DeepDiscount, and then in the invoice, almost a $1 more;

I ordered on Tuesday, if it makes a difference, which it obviously does, now that CH is $2 more than it was on the release date.

BTW, for what it's worth, dvdlist.kazart.com now lists the "Batman Begins" 2 Disc LE w/ comic as "discontinued". I think I may swing by BB to see if they have any of the lenticular covered versions available, so I can stash it away.

The Best Buy Deluxe Edition is already fetching around $35. That's typical with Best Buy exclusives, because Non-US bidders scour eBay for their bonus discs and exclusives. Anyone buying up $25 dollar sets for an ultimate $10 profit are just plain stupid, as are anyone that buy things that are still in production, looking to turn a profit.

So, has anyone swung by Wal Mart lately and stumble across "Fletch" for $4.88? I've had my copy for a while, got it cheap, but wouldn't mind a minty fresh one.

I ordered both off of Amazon. It's either Amazon or DeepDiscount, virtually the same price, same delivery time, free shipping, etc.

Best Buy is pretty good about carrying Blue Underground releases, i.e. Zombi 2 Ann. Edition, but for some reason, I don't forsee "Cannibal Holocaust" being a title they'll be enthusiastically pushing.

It's limited to either 10,000 or 11,111 copies nationwide. I've heard both, and given its history and availability, I'm thinking they'll go pretty fast.
