After hearing people talking about Best Buy cutting some of their prices on Blu-Rays, I decided to check it out for myself. It turns out the rumors are true, and a lot of the older titles are noticeably cheaper than they used to be. They have always been pretty cheap on Amazon, but I am glad to see that your more traditional brick and mortar stores are cutting prices, which will definitely increase overall sales and adoption.
Here are some of the highlights:
Terminator 2: 13.99
Con Air: 14.99
Crimson Tide: 14.99
The Rock: 14.99
Goodfellas: 14.99
Underworld: 17.49
Bram Stoker's Dracula: 17.49
Final Fantasy: Spirits Within: 17.49
The Patriot: 17.49
Donnie Brasco (phenomenal film): 17.49
And many more at 17.49 worth buying like The Fifth Element, Memento, Curse of the Golden Flower, Black Hawk Down, Big Fish, Identity, etc.
I am glad to see the film companies are making these older titles affordable, so that hi-def can really take off and that there are enough players out there to merit the level of back catalog titles that DVD has.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
