I think I Might get Aeon Flux
mchuckp 06-12-07, 08:39 AM It would be cool if the list was extended a bit but I've had my eye on The Matador and Clerks 2 for a while. I may go ahead and pick those up. With the 10% discount and supersaver shipping that puts me at $16.19 a piece.
properbostonian 06-12-07, 09:07 AM Thanks for the info Grubert. I'll pick up Aeon Flux. I am a little embarrassed to admit it but I actually liked the movie. :)
Ordered Clerks II and The Matador. Thanks for posting this.
nmcnair 06-12-07, 09:32 AM The Matador and Derailed for me.
zero_zep 06-12-07, 09:37 AM is aeon flux really worth picking up....I've been thinking of renting for a while or is it a decent purchase?
Maxflier 06-12-07, 09:53 AM is aeon flux really worth picking up....I've been thinking of renting for a while or is it a decent purchase?
No.
Spend your money on something else, trust me.
Evangelo2 06-12-07, 09:58 AM Ordered Derailed and Lucky Number Slevin.
Good lookin out for sales guys :)

It's worth it for me. I'm buying it.
thecult03 06-12-07, 10:11 AM Is this worth buying? I am also thinking about Payback.
SamwisetheBrave 06-12-07, 10:14 AM Thanks for the info Grubert. I'll pick up Aeon Flux. I am a little embarrassed to admit it but I actually liked the movie. :)
One of my five freebies from Toshiba. (Hearing that I, like so many, had not gotten any of the five yet, Robert from VE is seeing that I get my discs pronto)! :D
Adam_ME 06-12-07, 10:17 AM The Matador and The Italian Job for me. The rest I either don't care for or already own. I just hope The Matador doesn't take forever to load with the latest firmware.
BuGsArEtAsTy 06-12-07, 10:33 AM Meh. I guess I'll be buying none of the sale titles.
Clerks II, Matador, Lucky Number Slevin and Payback are all great movies. I'd pick these up in a heartbeat, especially at these prices, if I didn't already own them!
Those movies should be buy one get one free! :eek:
evolver 06-12-07, 10:45 AM I am also thinking about Payback.
Lucy Liu as a dominatrix?! What is there to think about? :D
Just keep in mind it's the restored Payback: Straight Up - The Director's Cut version.
JaylisJayP 06-12-07, 10:46 AM Nothing for me out of those...what a garbage selection.
aaronwt 06-12-07, 10:57 AM Crap! I already have all of those titles!
Grubert 06-12-07, 11:00 AM The Matador and The Italian Job for me. The rest I either don't care for or already own. I just hope The Matador doesn't take forever to load with the latest firmware.
Hmm... I rented Lucky Number Slevin (another Weinstein title) and it did load in a reasonable time. Is The Matador still problematic?
StimpsonJCat 06-12-07, 11:22 AM I already own the following on HD or SD:
Italian Job
Lucky Number Slevin
The Matador
Payback
We Were Soldiers
I think all of these are great films, but to each his own.
I picked up Clerks II & Aeon Flux. Aeon Flux is a guilty pleasure, but so are many titles in my DVD & HD DVD collection.
Amiable-Akuma 06-12-07, 11:33 AM I thought Aeon Flux was cool, worth owning. I don't understand why people dislike it. It's not like so many other futuristic sci-fi movies that just have laughably corny dialogue, non-sensical effects/story points, or other goofy things (ie. Chronicles of Riddick, Star Wars Ep 1-3). Rather it's a subtle, neatly self-contained piece that seemed to have continous direction and not turn into a bloated mess.
gmitran 06-12-07, 11:39 AM Slevin had nice twist ending and like the darkness of Payback. Still no purchase for me though.

I think I read somewhere that they actually took the film away from director Karyn Kusama, or at any rate she was very disappointed in how it all turned out. I suspect a lot of the disappointment was expressed by people who were fans of the original animated series, like me. Plus, I thought Charlize Theron was miscast as Aeon, but that's probably just me. :p
You're spot on about the current general state of SF on film, though. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, it seems as if this has always been the case.... :( :mad:
mrkrispy 06-12-07, 01:05 PM darn I knew I shouldn't have bought Clerks II on release day. Ahh it was worth it I guess.
jelliott25 06-12-07, 01:06 PM I'm in for Aeon flux. I've not seen it but......what the hell...I'm supporting the format here.
Thanks for the heads up Grubert :cool:
Topweasel 06-12-07, 01:07 PM Sucks that I almost own 50% of those and all of the ones I am interested in.
matador and school for me, two very good movie, thank.
faux123 06-12-07, 01:37 PM Thanks OP! Picked up we were soldiers, wolf creek, and derailed. With prime and Amazon 10%, I will get it on Thursday :)
HDphile22 06-12-07, 02:20 PM is aeon flux really worth picking up....I've been thinking of renting for a while or is it a decent purchase?
Personally, Yes!
Two words - Charlize Theron!
But just like 10 out of 90 critics liked it though.
Snickering Hound 06-12-07, 02:42 PM is aeon flux really worth picking up....I've been thinking of renting for a while or is it a decent purchase?
I liked it, but it got bad reviews.
I picked up "The Matador" and "Payback".
Already had some of the others on here. "Pulse" had bad reviews, but I liked that one too. Some cool stuff going on in the background on that one in Dolby TrueHD.
HDphile22 06-12-07, 06:03 PM One of the MOST beautiful woman Alive!

Meh. Jessica will change your mind! :)

I was going to express my disappointment that Miss Alba didn't come up when I clicked that link, but you sir have beaten me to it :D
HDphile22 06-12-07, 09:03 PM Jessica Alba movies aren't in HD DVD and on sale for 40% off though.
Personally, Yes!
Two words - Charlize Theron!
But just like 10 out of 90 critics liked it though.
"Two Words":
Eye Candy!

Am I the only one who wants Transamerica in HD.
Felicity Huffman. :)
I never used to like the Dixie Chicks, but now... :p
mchuckp 06-13-07, 08:14 AM It's amazing how taking a couple bucks off a movie can get people to buy titles. Aeon Flux, Clerks 2, Feast, and The Matador are on in the Amazon top 10 for HD-DVD sales.

I picked up Clerks 2 and The Matador. It would be awesome if they had a sale on ALL catalog titles. Maybe someday!

I picked up Aeon Flux - I know, pure eye candy. I already have it on DVD, but it is still in the shrink wrap because I bought it just as I was buying into HD-DVD.
I was considering The Italian Job, but reviews indicate that the transfer is not all that stunning (or the source is not all that stunning), and I'm not that enamored with the movie.
Feast is another I was considering...

roachxp 06-13-07, 01:15 PM Looks like Amazon like to have theses small sales. 2 weeks ago I picked up NIN and Sahara for 12.99 each on the daily special gold box.
Broccoli 06-13-07, 02:27 PM Picked up Matador and Black Rain :)
vurbano 06-13-07, 03:37 PM is aeon flux really worth picking up....I've been thinking of renting for a while or is it a decent purchase?
No. Its awful. It gave me a headache.
