Cheap DVD buys

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

Amazon has the Firefly complete series for $20. Is it worth it? I've seen Serenity but never the TV series.

I die a little every time I remember there is no more Firefly/Serenity.
My initial experience with Firefly was the movie, which I thought was good but I wasn't crazy about it...until I watched the series. The series makes what happens in the movie so much more heartbreaking.

$20 is a very good price.
Target has had it for $17-18 from time to time.

Maybe someone stocked the DVDs in the Blu-Ray spot.

Ok, I ordered Firefly. I also got The Specials from Amazon for $5. Supposedly it is out of print. It is sort of a Spinal Tap for Super Hero movies. I haven't seen it in 7 years, but I remember it being pretty funny.

Target has the Lilo & Stitch 2-disc reissue for $15.99, about $4 cheaper than anyone else. If you buy it with Bolt, you get $10 off. Pretty sweet deal. Unfortunately, as no one has ever done a deal on Disney movies that's that good, I'd preordered Bolt from Amazon, and, wouldn't you know it, as soon as I log in this morning to cancel, I see it shipped. On a Sunday. Wonder if it has anything to do with Amazon's partnership with Target?

Needless to say, aside from GIJoe graphic novels, I don't think I'm ordering anything from them in advance. That's ten bucks down the fucking drain.
