Yes, but I admit I was surprised that it wasn't full screen or something like that. I've been reluctant to pick Sin City up in it's regular format since I, some day, plan on getting the deluxe set. For $5 though, I couldn't pass it up. I saw it at two different stores.

Anyone out there picked up a copy of Lip Service for me yet? Still not available at my local 3 BL's.

EarlB

Many, many thanks, Bobhug. Sorry I didn't respond sooner.

I saw a few more $2/$3 titles at the Local Big Lots:

abintra

Any chance this was new stock at a store you've been to before or a store you were visiting for the first time?

Perkinsun Dzees

It was new stock. Those titles weren't at this store when I was there last weekend.

printerati

I saw all of those titles (except Ignition) at various stores last week. They aren't new stock around here, unfortunately.

Ken Cline

Revisited 5 BL's and only one had anything new.

All are $2.00 & Sony Pictures releases














BTW, I saw one Sin City DVD. It was the Alliance Atlantis version, which is the distributor for Buena Vista in Canada. I'm not sure the difference between the 2 with the exception of the added French subtitles. I would assume it's the same quality.

The Cold Mountain and Birth I recently got were also Alliance Atlantis versions.

Ken Cline

In case anyone is interested. Titles that were either bought or seen at BL's are in bold on mcarver's OOP list (Sony titles only). If anyone has seen or purchased additional titles, let me know and I'll edit this post.

I also just added possible new OOP titles that may or may not show up at Big Lots. A few of which I have already seen. Again, this only relates to Sony/Columbia/Tri-Star releases.

Red = New title not on list.
Blue = New possible OOP titles from dvdempire.

Ken: Saw these at the Big Lots in Eugene (OR)

Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round
Harry And Walter Go To New York

Quatermass

So what does the 3 stars mean?
Not that it matters, if I saw a Gina Gershon movie, I'd buy it anyway.
Thanks for the info!

Ken Cline

Thanks. I forgot to mention that. Updated the post.

Lokimok

Ken, you can embolden these:

Afterglow
Blood Crime
Cold Steel
Facing Windows
First Shot
The Harvest
Implicated
Outside The Law

All found tonight & all $2 a piece (I think...mostly)

I just got back from my local. They must have restocked today. There was an overflowing rack of new titles - all different from the ones I saw at the same store a couple of weeks ago. I noticed there was only 1 copy of most $2 titles, while most $3 titles had up to 3 copies. Went nuts & picked up Vanya On 42nd Street, Tokyo Joe, They Came To Cordura, Splendor, Myth Of Fingerprints, The Front, Jackpot, Desert Bloom, Die Die My Darling, Eat A Bowl Of Tea, Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round, & a few others. Yippee!

(Almost hurt to leave behind $2 Afterglow, but already have it & only other person I could think of who would like it also has it...)

Ken Cline

Updated!

After work I went to one location that I previously visited (which I ended up not getting anything). Today, they had a LOT of new stuff. And almost every title I picked they had 2-3 copies. Here's what I got...

Big Brass Ring
Desert Blue
Die! Die! My Darling!
Happy Birthday To Me
Jackpot
Ruby
Atlantis
Nina Takes A Lover
Eat A Bowl Of Tea
Splendor
Myth Of Fingerprints
Double Vision (a.k.a. Shuang Tong)
Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round

Harry And Walter Go To New York
Caught
Another Meltdown
Facing Windows
Happy Times

You should have seen the look on peoples faces that were in line behind me
For just under $50, 19 DVDs. I'm out of control.... I think we're all out of control

Autolycus

Ken:

You can also embolden these titles from the list:

Circus (2000/Special Edition)
The Looking Glass War
The Man Who Loved Women (1983)
Where The Day Takes You

coville

At the Ft. Collins CO store I purchased:
for $2
Pauline and Paulette
Secret Ballot
Va Savoir
Last Orders
Son of the Bride
Broken Wings
Mr. Sardonicus
Salvages
$3
Read my Lips
$4.99

Ken Cline

Added new possible Sony OOP titles to list.

docdoowop

Valuable checklist Ken, thanks very much.

Cameron

good checklist. I need spider and the big brass ring (based on a Orson Welles Script)

CaseyB

I've seen the Canadian version of Sin City at the local Ross too.

Alan Smithee

Anyone know if they ever fixed the "Happy Birthday To Me" disc? I heard they used some odd print that had temp music in place of some of the final music that was used in the movie. Sort of wanted to check that out, but I've already got the old laserdisc and I bought too many other DVDs already.

ron lee green

No, they did not fix the music. Still, $2.00 is a great price for this disc, which originally went for $20.00.

My local Big Lots FINALLY put these dvds on the shelves. For the past two weeks, my Big Lots had nothing and I was getting jealous while reading all the posts of what everyone was buying. Was especially happy to get Die! Die! My Darling! for 2 bucks. This is better than going to the 99 cent stores and buying crappy public domain dvds.

battlingbutler

Mine restocked, all for 2-3 dollars except 4.99 for Going in Style. some did not have tags on them and I was given them for 2 dollars.

If anyone has The Fourth Angel, could you check out the trailer section? I tried watching the trailers and it took me to the DVD player's logo screen, stopping the disc. The movie seems to work fine though.

Cameron

saw copies of Davey & Goliath volume 1-3 for 3 bucks each. Volume 1 is a two disc set.
