found shooter... - Blu-ray Forum

redlikefire02 · 12-02-2007, 12:12 PM

so ive been searching everywhere for it, as many of you have also, found 1 copy left at my local fye. 40 bucks was steep (most ive ever paid for a blu-ray) but think it was worth it.

philco_3 · 12-02-2007, 01:45 PM

Why is that? I seen it at Wal-Mart when it first came out.

me_inside · 12-02-2007, 01:45 PM

$40 for a movie

RedIsNotBlue · 12-02-2007, 01:49 PM

Yeah since Paramount announced they are destroying their Blu-ray's they haven't shipped out their Blu-ray's are going to be harder to come by. Sites are selling Shooter for double or even triple the regular price.

Tru-way · 12-02-2007, 01:58 PM

40$ for that crap of a movie, why?

oXweebleXo · 12-02-2007, 02:44 PM

that movie wasnt crap. but its not worth 40 either. i just rented it at blockbuster and kept it.

Not everyone likes what you like.

It wasn't a bad flic, a little predictible but certainly not worth $40. Nice transfer though.

Hmm. "Male, 23 years old, RENO, NEVADA". Let's see if Blockbuster can find you with that.

LMAO

Nice!

jubaiweaponx · 12-02-2007, 04:02 PM

I rather enjoyed the film and it was a box office suprise but $ 40.00 is rough

Living Near Shamu · 12-02-2007, 04:10 PM

Probably could have found it on ebay cheaper. Maybe he's a Mark Whalberg fanboy

bajor27 · 12-02-2007, 04:14 PM

Congrats on the find - I've been searching for it myself

doctorD · 12-02-2007, 04:39 PM

Fry's and Best Buy in my neighborhood still has it, as well as some other Paramount/DW titles...but they are going fast.

good idea!!! smart indeed. i didnt think of that

AaronSCH · 12-02-2007, 05:09 PM

I wonder why you can find nearly every one of the Paramount Blu-ray titles at local retailers except "The Shooter?" Perhaps the production run was much much smaller because they had already made a cetain backroom decision.

I have been holding out on picking up "Hustle and Flow" but I think I better stop procrastinating.

Whytewash · 12-02-2007, 05:27 PM

had I not bought shooter before the Paramount switch, I woulda paid $40 also. Any day of the week and twice on sunday! It is a fantastic title with a quality transfer

Maybe it's a more popular film.

My only other Paramount Blu-ray is "Dreamgirls". I've tried to sit through that thing but can't. I saw part of it, then went to find something else to interest me. Days later I made a serious effort to sit through the rest of it, starting where I left off, but damn it, I had to turn it off again and find something to interest me again. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to seeing the final third of it. There's not anything really wrong with the production, it's just not to my taste and rather bland.

Absolutely. I have a few Paramount BD's but Shooter is my favorite one by far. The last time I saw it on the shelf anyplace was at Borders Books, and that was only about a week ago. For anyone that really wants it, you might try there or try ordering on-line from Borders. Also, I think Moretonbay might still have some copies.

Corrupteddragon · 12-03-2007, 03:08 AM

Theres a store nearby me that has a copy of it used and still sealed for $18.
