Blind Buys - Blu-ray Forum

billypoe · 10-08-2008, 05:02 PM

I noticed it's been awhile since there's been a thread devoted to blind buys, and since I just blind bought Iron Man, I was wondering which blind buys you guys have or will purchase?

Blind Buys I Plan on Purchasing (when I have $$)
Godfather Trilogy (only saw part 1)
How the West was Won
Hellboy II
Planet of the Apes Collection (only saw part 1)
Wall-E
The Adventures of Robin Hood
John Mayer--Where the Light Is
Dirty Harry Collection
The Incredible Hulk (not 100% sure on this one)

WALL-E & Hellboy 2 for me.

gattaca, which turned out to be a great buy.

debating blind-buying "the proposition" since it's always so cheap on amazon and i like westerns.

Blind buys that I currently have on pre-order are:

Indiana Jones & KotCS
The Incredible Hulk
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Get Smart
Wall*E
Hellboy II
Star Wars : The Clone Wars
Step Brothers

With having a wife and 2 kids, going to the movie gets to be a bit of a headache and expensive... so instead I just buy the movies once on blu and have family movie night.

the way i look at it, the old ones were made to be fun, mindless entertainment (and did a damn good job at doing so).

the new one succeeds in doing just that, aliens or no aliens. it isn't trying to be anything else.

(sorry to get off topic)

I will also be blind buying TDK, I don't like going to the movies in fact I can't remember what was the last movie I saw in theaters

and now that I do blu i will much rather buy a blu than spend almost 30$ ( for me and my girlfriend+Food

) in the movies...I will also be blind buying Wall*E!!

dgator783 · 10-08-2008, 06:29 PM

Canada · 10-08-2008, 06:34 PM

I am going to blind buy Sleeping Beauty but that's it. I think I have already actually seen it like when I was five I am twenty four now, it might as well be a blind buy.

obiwopkenobi62 · 10-08-2008, 06:41 PM

I blind pre-ordered Wall-E, Polar Express 3D, and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D.

ScarredLungs · 10-08-2008, 08:35 PM

My only blind buy so far was Rescue Dawn

Monoblock · 10-09-2008, 04:51 PM

For me it's Daywatch and The Signal. Really big mistake on both.
