Ruby Sparks (Oct. 30th 2012) - Blu-ray Forum

Snicket · 10-26-2012, 11:07 PM

Wow! Can't believe this comes out on Tuesday and there is no thread for it.

I didn't even realize it was out but I saw copies out early at Sam's Club (DVD only).

I didn't catch this in theaters but will definitely pick this up.

It's a pretty good movie. Zoe Kazan is a treasure. Only complaint I had was with Paul Dano. I find him so mediocre that he takes away from all movies he is in. Also, the price needs to drop on this. It's a $15 max title.

I got it for $16.99 when DVDEmpire had a sale a ways back. Usually their pre-order prices are too high even during a sale, but I jumped all over this. I have no idea why the price is so high everywhere else. Mine shipped yesterday.

Another gem that gets no discussion is "Safety Not Guaranteed." I was shocked my BB told me they were getting it, so I'll use a $5 RZ to snag it for $17.99.

Finally ending one of the most expensive months in my blu-ray life. And that doesn't count the House season 8 UK version which just was released, but I'm waiting from packaging confirmation from another user, so I catch a break and get to order it during the slower "new release" month of November.

I agree about Safety. Fantastic. Only problem I had with it was when

I do prefer Ruby to Safety. I love Zoe Kazan. I wish we could get Exploding Girl released on Blu. The DVD is good but maybe it would bring a new crowd to that incredible little movie. That was when I developed my crush on Zoe, but I fell in love with her in Ruby.

Yeah pretty much.

Edword · 10-27-2012, 02:30 AM

I'll have to get this. It looked good, I just never had a chance to see it since none of the theaters near me ever had it.

Lepidopterous · 10-27-2012, 03:16 AM

Wonderful film with great replay value. I'll be buying it and probably for others during the holidays too. Also, I thought Paul Dano was great.

I didn't really know much about this movie when the DVDEmpire sale was going on, so this wasn't one of my pre-orders. The prices for this now at Best Buy and Amazon are insane. I haven't paid as much for a movie in years and I don't plan on doing so now, but I want to see this soon regardless.

As for Safety Not Guaranteed, I'm glad to see Best Buy dropped the price a bit. I was going to pass and wait for a sale even though it's one of my most anticipated new releases left, but now I'll pick it up on Tuesday and use one of my several unused Reward Zone certificates. I can stomach the $22.99 price before the certificate for a movie I hope to have a ton replay value for me.

PopcornBandit · 10-27-2012, 09:28 PM

This was out early at one of my local Best Buy's. The DVD and the blu-ray.

Does the Blu have a slip?

Can't help but think of the Kaiser Chiefs song whenever I see this film title

Hopefully this has a huge price drop on release day. Few weeks ago I ordered The Sound of My Voice for $29.99 and it fell to $16.99 on release day. Hoping this does something similar.

djgeneral · 10-28-2012, 04:18 PM

I remember always wanting to see this. I'llk have to check it out

prozacnation1978 · 10-28-2012, 04:24 PM

30 dollar price tag at best buys

Wal-Mart has the Blu-ray for $19.99. Not sure what the deal is with the price at BB and Amazon.

$19.99 in-store?

Zen_Amako · 11-01-2012, 03:21 AM

Yes, I was just at Wal-Mart tonight and saw the Blu-ray on a new release endcap for $19.99. I notified Amazon, not sure if they will respond.
