View Full Version : July, Who's Buying What?
OldCodger73 06-22-08, 02:35 PM Well, we've had a monthly who's buying what thread for awhile and it's now June 22, so I suppose it's time to start one for July.
There seems to be quite a few July releases, having 5 Tuesdays in the month helps I'm sure.
Anyway a definite buy on release for me is The Hunt for Red October.
Rental and possible BOGO at a future date are: Clear and Present Danger, In the Line of Fire and Patriot Game.
Rental only are The Band's Visit, The Bank Job, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
BTW, The Bank Job must be the first Jason Statham movie that ever received a good review.
The Spiderwick Chronicles for sure.... :)
toxic_avenger 06-22-08, 02:44 PM Buying-The Lost Boys, Lost Boys II and Dark City
Renting-alot:D
David_W 06-22-08, 03:21 PM In my book, July is a slow month. Having been bi-format, many of those titles are owned in the Red flavor. I'm not in a big hurry to spend money to replace them. The process will be slow and choosy, and waiting for sale prices.
So...the only two titles I'm jazzed about are:
'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'
'Dark City'
svalentine 06-22-08, 03:26 PM umm.. and why wasn't Batman Begins not mentioned yet? :confused: I will be buying:
July 01, 2008
Batman: The Movie (Limited Edition) (Fox)
Gangs of New York (Walt Disney)
July 08, 2008
Batman Begins (Limited Edition Gift Set) (Warner)
July 15, 2008
The Bank Job (2008) (Lionsgate)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Warner)
July 29, 2008
Dark City (New Line)
Top Gun (Paramount)
SirDrexl 06-22-08, 03:31 PM This is not a bad month, compared to typical non-holiday release months. I have Dark City and One Flew Over... pre-ordered from the Warner store, and I'll probably get The Lost Boys, Shine a Light, and maybe Gangs of New York and The Hunt for Red October. Batman Begins is one of those titles I have on HD DVD, so I'll wait until I can get it very cheaply. I'm not going to spend $20 just to have it on BD, but for $10 or less I'll bite (yes, I realize that could take a long, long time).
I'll get the Roy Orbison disc if it has the proper 4:3 aspect ratio, but I don't think that's the case.

Stevie76 06-24-08, 06:45 AM Hmmm. Am I the only one going for the 90:s slashers like "Urban Legends" etc. ? :D
Canīt believe they are 10 years old already. Time flies!
I want more slashers on Blu-Ray. Bring on Friday the 13th! ;)

I wasn't a big fan of the 90's slashers(Scream sucked) I'll get Urban Legends in a bogo or if it hits 14.99 or below since Daniel Harris is hot in it:p And I agree bring on Friday the 13th. Luckily BU is releasing Maniac(one of my favs) this year.
Pre-Ordered Dark City. That's probably all I'll buy this month everything else is rental.
Anything that is not region locked.
Stevie76 06-24-08, 04:05 PM Luckily BU is releasing Maniac(one of my favs) this year.

Joe Spinell is awesome in that movie :)
July, Who's Buying What?
I'm thinking about buying a screen door for my back door, airline tickets for my wife to travel to...oh, you mean movies?;) How about the whole Jack Ryan collection (minus the terrible one with Ben Affleck).
sharkcohen 06-24-08, 05:41 PM LOL, am I the only person buying Stargate: Continuum?

Here is some information on them. Basically, they are more documentaries made by BBC. I'm a documentary lover in general so I think these will be awesome. I hope I'm not wrong on that.

chad473 06-27-08, 07:24 PM so far I've ordered point break and the john mayer disc. the trio set should be a real treat in 24/96. hunt for red october is a distinct possibility.
tiger_qc 06-27-08, 10:42 PM - Gangs of New York

- Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Where did you see Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle for a blu release?
Corellianrogue 06-29-08, 03:31 AM LOL, am I the only person buying Stargate: Continuum?
Is Stargate: The Ark Of Truth coming out on Blu-Ray? I was holding out for possibly an HD DVD version in Europe but that obviously doesn't look likely now, lol! It seems weird that they'd bring out Continuum before The Ark Of Truth though. :confused:
msgohan 06-29-08, 05:00 AM Where did you see Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle for a blu release?
Same date as the new one. Amazon has it for $20 and you can get it from the WHV store for around $16 after the 30% off code. I got it for $14 before they raised the base price.
hokie93 06-29-08, 11:05 AM Harold and Kumar 1 & 2

No word on Ark of Truth, but I'll double dip if it gets released on BD.
At least the following:
In the Line of Fire (Sony)
Gangs of New York (Walt Disney)
Batman Begins (Warner)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Warner)
The Hunt for Red October (Paramount)
Top Gun (Paramount)
Point Break for sure... And also In The Line Of Fire... Possibly Vantage Point... Undetermined yet... :)
Corellianrogue 07-01-08, 05:16 AM Point Break for sure... And also In The Line Of Fire... Possibly Vantage Point... Undetermined yet... :)
Did you know that Vantage Point was originally going to be the first 24 movie? There are couple of funny little clues like each vantage point being 23 minutes long and Dennis Quaid's character saying "Dammit!" a lot, lol!
Im just renting a lot. Blind buys are just a bad way to to business, IMO.
;)
Yes sir, I learned that lesson years ago with DVD. I will on occassion blind buy as I just did with the Ganges documentary but those types of movies are a bit are safer to buy.
