Have First Men in the Moon and Journey to the Center of the Earth on order. Man, I was hoping that since they upped the availability to 5000 copies that they would be priced at $24.95 this time. But, since I paid, guess these must be worth the $29.99 each to me, lol.

Why would you think that? The price has nothing to do with the size of the press run. They may pay a little less (but not that much less) per unit if they order 5000 instead of 3000, but they're also paying a higher licensing fee.

I feel at peace after ordering what just about everyone else did: First Men and Journey. Sounds like they're selling fast, along with U-Turn. I'm glad they capped the limit at 3 because in looks like quite a few people ordered extra.

Ordered First Men, Journey, Lenny and Love & Death.

In the 1960s, a controversial American variant of this phase entered popular usage: “I could care less.” Many native English speakers, both in the UK and US, find this expression to be logically flawed. If you couldn’t care less, then you care so little about something that it would be impossible for you to care any less than you do. If you could care less, however, you are saying, literally, that it is possible for you to care less than you care now. Those who take issue with this believe this later variant says very little about your level of caring, and so eschew it.

The argument of logic falls apart when you consider the fact that both these phrases are idioms. In English, along with other languages, idioms are not required to follow logic, and to point out the lack of logic in one idiom and not all idioms is…illogical. Take the expression “head over heels,” which makes far less sense than the expression “heels over head” when you think about the physics of a somersault. It turns out “heels over head” entered English around 1400, over 250 years before “head over heels,” however, the “logical” version of this idiom has not been in popular usage since the late Victorian era.

I've tended to use "I could care less" myself, and always meant it ironically (and assumed that anyone who used it was also being ironic). Like saying, "Yeah, 'cause that's gonna happen," when you mean that there's no chance in hell it will.

Wow, you have given TT over $1200. You think they could show their gratitute by giving you a free title. Even Criterion gives you a $50 discount if you spend over $500 with them.

ordered

[Blu Titan]

Ordered First Men on the Moon as I was not about to take any kind of chance on that one .

[Traveler]

Ordered the following a couple of hours ago:

Journey To The Center Of The Earth
First Men In The Moon
Hard Times
Used Cars

Lost out on As Good As It Gets last week because I missed the final warning so I'm not going to take a chance on losing out on those last 2 titles.

There's nothing magical about the 3-year window. I hope you're not thinking about the rumors that TT's deal with Sony required them to destroy any unsold copies of Sony-licensed films when the 3-year window was up.

But that's obviously not true. There are three Sony titles that still haven't sold out and have already passed the window -- Picnic, Pal Joey, and Bite the Bullet -- and all three are still available from SAE.

No toaster. I have 118 and the satisfaction I own some awesome movies.

[dragon53]

I'm glad I passed on the dvd of FIRST MEN ON THE MOON (which is $59.95 on Amazon) and the first remastered JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.
My order is $65.20 for the new TT releases.
