I need to get out to a Big Lots just for a copy of Bubba Ho-Tep alone! That movie is so great.
I have it on tape somewhere but all my tapes are packed up in storage boxes as it always seems like too big a bother to mess with them when I can just watch something on demand or pop in a dvd so I never see some of my favorite movies anymore.
Good haul you got there:) Looks like you did get a lot of the same stuff I picked up, including Roadie which I went back and got yesterday. I'm a little upset though, I bought Bubba Ho-Tep when it first came out for something like $21, but I'm glad other people are able to get it and like 6 other movies for the same price. Hilarious movie, that.
What, no Rollerball remake?;)
i hit 2 big lots on sunday but sadly neither had much of a selection of dvd's left. in fact, none of the cool dvd's you scored.
Bright Lights Big City and the Dunwich Horror are 2 that I own...nice pickup!
Thanks for the heads up! I shudder to think what got put back on the shelf in favor of Piñata: Survival Island though, ha ha! I mean, how terrifying or threatening is a demon trapped inside a paper piñata anyway?
bah! The local big lots sucks compared to others it seems. They only had two little shelves of movies and all I found was Amityville Horror and the remake of it. Given the lack of anything else good I would have picked up Piñata if they had it :P
phelpster -- I passed on the Rollerball remake. I've never actually seen the original, but I've heard good things about it.
karswell -- I didn't pick Piñata: Survival Island, my wife did. I had to let her get what she wanted since I got 12 DVD's and she only got six. She has no appreciation for the classics :)
Thanks for the heads up. I stopped in and picked up American Splendor, Carrie, and all of the Pink Panther I could find. I appreciate your blog and the time you put into it. Keep up the good work!
Hi, my wife and I live in Canton, Ohio. We were wondering what Big Lots you went to? Email us please, omalley165@yahoo.com thanks!!
Hiya, just thought I'd put in my two cents, as I'm an employee at the said-store...
Yeah, we got a lot of DVD's :P And they're all pretty good. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of dime-store crap reference-movies I guess, but there's some really good ones too.
Hell, our Big Lots had Oscar-winning special edition films :D
