BIG WEEK RoundUppers!

Certainly, lots of quantity and a fair amount of quality, too!

But, for me, just a pre-order of The Good Fight: Season 3. And at the price of $14.99, I decided to pull the trigger on Modern Family: S10. I checked my shelves and realized I had never gotten MF: S9 so I got that, too, at a price of $12.xx.

I'll probably get My Favorite Year down the road.

Hope you find something to your liking!

And thanks for the support (and "likes") each and every week!

 

[Jake Lipson]

As always, thank you, Mike!

But I'm taking a breather this week. After buying an expensive Blu-ray steelbook last week, plus an actual book and an audiobook all on the same day, I've spent enough for a while.

Wild Rose is an excellent movie which I wish was getting a Blu-ray release. I might get the DVD sooner or later -- the price is certainly right -- but I had an expensive enough week last week that I shouldn't right now. I would recommend Wild Rose as at least a rental to anyone who missed it in theaters, though, and judging by its gross, that would include most people.

 

[Matt Hough]

Thanks for the RoundUp!

My Favorite Year is a definite for me. A couple of others I'll also acquire in the future.

I had put in to CBS to review the final season of Elementary, but they sent me The Good Fight instead. I sent it back and asked for the correct review material, but who knows if I'll get it or when.

 

[TravisR]

I'll probably be picking up Polyester this week.

Thanks for the prices, Mike!

I was surprised and excited to see a 4k release of Galaxy Quest listed.

Are you sure that is correct? Bestbuy.com and all press releases I can find show that the 20th anniversary exclusive steelbook is 1080, and just a repackaging of the existing blu ray.

It's a Blu-ray release as indicated by this press release that Ron posted.

Yeah, it's listed in the UHD grid as a 4K steelbook. Got my hopes up too.

I give up. I surrender.

What a savings.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I am really sorry, guys, about that slip up. It was listed as a 4k release on my "new release' source and I never noticed when compiling the prices that it was Blu-only at BB. I'll be removing it from the 4k grid.

I HATE when that shit happens.

Maintaining these lists are a lot of work and mistakes happen when doing so, especially with constant release dates changing, retailers posting misinformation and etc.

 

[Carlo_M]

Oh yeah don’t even worry about it Mike. We appreciate all the work you do. By Grapthar’s hammer!

 

[sleroi]

No worries, I really appreciate the work you do every week.

Instead of Galaxy Quest Ill probably purchase a 4k version of The Dead Dont Die off Vudu since I havent heard of a 4k disc coming out for that title.

We'll dock your pay this week, Mike.

Thanks again for the prices! I will "rent" Dark Phoenix using some of my digital credits on Amazon to see if it's something I want to buy eventually - - probably a streaming version, as I don't really feel the need to own it on disc.

I already own the Twilight Time versions of Support Your Local Sheriff / Gunfighter, so don't feel the need to buy the Kino versions - - but I do really enjoy those films.

 

[Rodney]

Just a few for me this week, the TT sale really took a big bite in my wallet for awhile.

• Biloxi Blues
• Noir Archive Volume 3
• Popeye the Sailor: Volume 3 (showed up today from Best Buy, and at a much better price than Amazon)

100" agreement with you, Scott. I'm the same way. I purchased the original MGM DVDs, the upgraded Kino DVDs, then the Blu-ray from TT. I think I'll hold off at this stage.

 

[Malcolm R]

I think Dark Phoenix is probably a Black Friday purchase. Will get Polyester at some point.

 

[Jason_V]

I think Dark Phoenix is probably a Black Friday purchase.

Without a doubt. I'm going to get it to have a complete X-Men series on the shelf (I know, I know...) and because it'll make a great drinking game...

Condolences to Matt H (post 4 above) on his trials with CBS.

Elementary - Final Season came home today, despite Amazon shipping in "one to three months," Best Buy and Target "not in stores."

Barnes and Noble came through at 30% off list, and it was physically in the store for purchase.

Both the original DVD and the WB-distributed Paramount blu of Galaxy Quest are here. DVD stays for one feature that was not carried to the blu:

Spoiler

The Omega 13!

Thank you, Dave. CBS did come through, and I'm working through the final season box set now. I am hoping the review will go up Thursday. Still have one more Ealing comedy to tackle, my favorite one and also, I think, the best.
