Buying any movies in June?

[Travis]

June is a good month for my wallet. The only new release I may see myself buying is Gran Torino, after I rent it. Won't buy it blind.

Some catalog titles like, Spaceballs and Ghostbusters aren’t really the movies I see double-dipping, probably watched their DVDs 3 times. Not in the same league as The Godfather, The Shining, or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which had to be bought on Blu-ray.

Road House, Navy Seals, Sling Blade, and The Graduate, I don’t think I’d watch enough to buy either. So, I’ll just rent them again.

Maybe in June I can knock off some films on my wishlist. Gotta buy something, right? Maybe I will because most on my wishlist I'm waiting for their release in Taiwan or Hong Kong with traditional Mandarin subtitles.

Can you go this month without buying a new Blu-ray?

I don't think you guys can ever go a month without a fix.
No wonder you have 5x or 10x as many blu-rays than I do.

and that was just stuff coming out in June. In terms of catalogues that were already out I bought a bout 6-7 so far and will likely do the same for the next couple weeks as well.

[Travis]

Some of you guys have real problems. 500 discs, or so! Get into programs. Just kidding, you all rock.

I thought I was buying pretty steady since last November. Now I can't lift my head up high.

I do have a handicap holding me back....yeah you guessed it, my wife. Not because of cash, because she wants traditional(complex) Mandarin subtitles. I was lucky last month with Good,Bad&Ugly and X-Men set.

I believe I'm the only one not buying this month.

these two definitely, still on the fence about:

Generation Kill
Fatal Attraction
Gran Torino
Seventh Seal

I wanted to import Falling Down and T3 from the UK as well. I was gonna get Blade from Canada but the aspect ratio isnt correct and I refuse to pay for another Alliance half-arsed product.

[Travis]

I thought June didn't have much as far as new releases. July is terrible.

I'm curious about the PQ for 300. I need to rent Inglorious Bastards and haven't seen Midnight Express in years, don't remember if I liked it. It is up there with Amadeus and Ghandi, just can't remember them.

Casualities of War I remember being easily forgettable. Not like Platoon or Full Metal Jacket or Apocalypse Now or Deer Hunter. It is similar to Hamburger Hill, good but not great.

NO. I see about 17 or 18 I will be picking up this month. There are no good months for the wallet.

[sfmarine]

I'll be picking up Gran Torino on Tuesday.

I've got LOST Seasons 1&2 coming via Amazon.

I plan on getting Ghostbusters and Glory sometime down the road.

[quexos]

Nope, I've been slowing down on my BD purchases. I think I'll just get the big ones only and the Pixars. Why fill my shelves with movies I'll only watch once. Besides movies are so slow to come out, years and years pass before you see this or that movie finally available that, yeah I think I'm moving on and don't wait for the stuff anymore.

Exactly, what I have been thinking.

My DVD collection is full of stuff I've only watched once. Prices of DVDs really fell in the last 5 years. I've picked up a lot that I probably should've just rented.

Now Blus are getting cheaper and it's hard not to buy movies like, Rambo 1-3, Young Guns, The Searchers, Crash, American Psycho, Reservoir Dogs, The Wild Bunch and Basic Instinct because buy the time I rent it, spend the time and gas to pick up and drop it off I can justify buying them for 9.99. Except, by not buying these 10 movies I can keep 100 dollars. But on the other hand, 10 movies for 100 bucks is a deal. What to do?

[fatediesel]

June is going to be one of my most expensive Blu-ray months ever. I ordered 12 movies in the Columbia House BOGO Friday. The June releases I'll be buying are:
Friday the 13th (2009)
Friday the 13th 2
Friday the 13th 3
Lost Season 1
Lost Season 2
John Adams
Generation Kill
Ghostbusters

Luckily the only July movies I'm buying are Watchmen and Mad Men season 2 because I just bought new golf irons today and money's going to be a little tight for a couple weeks.

[P@t_Mtl]

It's been a quite month for me on BD I bought
