Picked up 5 DVDs tonight...

Lollan · 09-07-04, 09:33 PM

Felt like raiding the semi-local used DVD shack...

The Summer of Sam
Insomnia
Resevoir Dogs
Blow
Hangman's Curse

~$50 for all of the movies, ive only previously seen SOS and Resevoir Dogs, so I went on a limb with the others, hopefully they're decent.

Mole · 09-07-04, 10:32 PM

SoS: Good
Insomnia: Still have yet to see it
Resevoir Dogs: Good
Blow: Alright
Hangman's Curse: Never saw it.

Cop · 09-08-04, 09:22 AM

$10 per used DVD seems like a lot

Lollan · 09-08-04, 11:38 AM

Well, considering if I would've bought the same movies brand new it would've been around $90, its not bad.

Cop · 09-08-04, 12:17 PM

€55 for the first 4 new. The last one is not available here it seems. And that shop isn't even the cheapest one, but I chose that one because I buy most of my DVD's in their stores (offline). And I know for fact that Reservoir dogs is to be found for €5-7 in the store, btw. The site is not up to date.

The Summer of Sam -> €10
Insomnia -> €15
Resevoir Dogs -> €10
Blow -> €20
Hangman's Curse -> ?

Lollan · 09-08-04, 12:31 PM

Not exactly much of a DVD market in this area anyways... its pretty much Wal Mart, Best Buy and.. well, CD Warehouse, where I bought those. They're warranteed anyways and the case's are perfect, might as well have been brand new.

Getting debit card today so I can start buying better tho.

Cop · 09-08-04, 12:53 PM

I always thought DVD's were cheaper in the US, but it seems I was mistaken...

Lollan · 09-08-04, 12:55 PM

Cheapest DVD ive ever bought... was probably Hangman's curse actually.. got it for $7, just sounded cool and i want to fill up my case with DVDs, so im desperate.

They can be, just not where Stryker lives

He could have found them all much cheaper on line.

So it seems, however the Blockbuster here sells used DVDs for 2/$20US. This week they have a special: 3/$25US. Not too bad, and they have a huge selection.

Lollan · 09-09-04, 01:45 AM

Just finished Blow, very good movie. I've yet to finish Insomnia as I have failed to stay awake for more than 30 minutes so far, sadly.. that's not to say it sucks, albeit it is quite slow in the beginning... im just tired.

So i rate this one:

That's actually pretty funny in and of itself

opus512 · 09-09-04, 10:46 AM

Blockbuster sucks teh knob

I find new DVD's in K-Mart and other box stores for $5-$10 all the time. The best video rental place in town happens to be a local chain, and they sell used DVD's for up to $10, too, but IMO that's too much to pay for used up beat to shit DVD with finger prints and cup rings all over the thing. I'd only pay that for a used movie if it were pretty damn new.

Other then that, I've had a lot of good luck here, both with movies and music;

You take your chances, but so far, I've ordered a few dozen things from there and never had a problem *knock*knock*

I have insomnia!

Lollan · 09-11-04, 08:11 AM

Wow Cop, I feel very special to be in your sig!

Lollan · 09-11-04, 10:34 AM

Hangman's Curse:

Not even worth a rental....

Lollan · 09-12-04, 07:12 PM

Bah, i suppose this will turn into my "What Stryker watches thread"

Last night I watched:

Suicide Kings
AWESOME movie, great casting job... I loved every moment of it.

Then, i watched The Terminal
Very cool movie, I almost cried at the end

Didnt really have any slow moments considering the entire movie takes place in an airport either, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
