Buy it. Buy it. Buy it. Buy it.

Actually, ask yourself if you'll watch it before the sale, and let that determine whether or not you buy.

Having said that, buy it.

Oh I will but 18 bucks is a lot more attractive than 40 bucks. I know Kiss Me Deadly. I love Kiss Me Deadly. I can wait a few weeks....it's just not something that I'm used to.


It's good to fight against our society's impulse for instant gratification. Kudos to you.

On the other hand, what's twenty-two bucks in the face of eternity? Buy it.

22 bucks means I can buy the Criterion blu-ray of Naked along with it.

What's your opinion of the green tint on FotR that seems to be the subject of much debate on various Blu-ray discussion boards?

I got about 45 minutes in before sleep took me, and was immensely pleased! Mind, I was content with the theatrical cut, and this one is vastly superior. GREAT picture in my mind.
