I picked up Private Resort (Johnny Depp) and The Hitchhiker: Volume 1 yesterday. I never would've thought about going into Big Lots for anything until I finally decided to peruse this thread. Very cool.

I picked up the Rock 'n' Roll High School disc and from what I've researched, it appears that possibly the same transfer and audio have been ported from this release, to the New Concorde release, to the Buena Vista release (which claims it's anamorphic but isn't).

Picked up these HBO titles at the Douglasville (GA) Big Lots today for $3 each:
Elephant
Angels in America
Maria Full of Grace
Norma Jean and Marilyn
The Comeback
The Changeling (with G. C. Scott)
Cracker series one
For anyone looking for something worthwhile to pick up, I will again recommend Still Crazy (be sure to get the flipper with both WS and FS versions, not the FS only). Think Spinal Tap but played more or less straight, with some funny moments, good faux-1970s rock songs, and a great cast (featuring Stephen Rea, Billy Connolly, Timothy Spall, and especially Bill Nighy). Well worth $3 IMHO.

Episodes have occasionally displayed male nudity. Louis C.K. stated on his message board that there would not be female nudity on the show, claiming "Female nudity isn't funny" because you can't "laugh and jerk off at the same time".

I got extra copies of the following for Trade:
The Comeback
Lucky Louie
The Best of Arliss
I am looking to trade for Angels in America (I am looking for two copies if possible) and The Iron Giant - Special Edition. I know it's been a while on Iron Giant but I heard others found it at Big Lots a while back. I'm not sure if anyone has found Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: Chapter 5 but if anyone has I need to get that to finish off my collection so a definite trade exists there as well.

Rock N Roll High School I believe is the same during the feature, but the new release has a couple of short featurettes. The original release had a great booklet though, so I would buy it for $3. In fact, when I sold the old version I kept the insert.

I picked up The Comeback (blind buy) and Lucky Louie, as well as Autofocus. I have never seen so many DVD's at my BL before. They had a full 4-sided display, plus an entire display pallet with boxes double stacked. And I looked through every single DVD. Took a while, but I left happy...
