Myself, only blind buy: walking dead season 1 (finished yesterday in 2 days) and purchased season 2 yesterday. All other purchases for Black Friday (which was about 10+) were all movies I have seen.

Have fun blind buyers, I am super pleased with my blind buy.

I bought close to 70-80 titles this past week so my ratio isn't too bad on blind buys as I don't see many "mainstream" titles the only one im ashamed I haven't seen on the list is JAWS due to my nonsensical fear of water creatures.

I have watched quite a few so far and enjoyed all but Ghost Rider which I was kind of expecting it to

only blind buy for me was Homeland. Everything else I purchased I've seen.

The Lucky One
True Romance and American History X for that Triple Feature pack (yeah, I know, need to get on that)
Taxi Driver

Didn't really get a chance to pick up as much as I usually do with moving and having to search for a job it was a little harder to blind buy. I did pick up Brave and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter though.

Kill Bill 1/2

jstxanothrxstory · 11-27-2012, 04:41 AM

Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

ScarredLungs · 11-27-2012, 04:38 PM

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter seems to have been a common blind buy.

Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows and Wrath of the Titans. For $3.99 each....how could you resist.

bigdaddyhorse · 11-27-2012, 09:24 PM

Prometheus, although I knew I wanted it and would probably like it. $14.99 was too nice to pass on for the 4 disc set even though I'm not 3D. I look at it as future-proofing, when this TV dies, the next probably will be 3D.

The Tall Man. Haven't opened it yet and reviews are scary, I might just take it back as it sounds like not my kind of movie. Wish the library had it so I could sample it, guess I could always look for alternate ways to check it out.

Some of these style flicks work for me, most don't.

avpjunkie · 11-27-2012, 10:42 PM

All my purchases for BF were Blind buys, but I already have a pretty good idea that I will like all of them...

Wrath of the Titans
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Prometheus 3D
Underworld Awakening
Lockout
Wonder Woman animated
Cabin in the Woods
Walking Dead S2
The Thing (2011)

I can say that Prometheus, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Underworld are great movies. Good choices!

Are those the same movies?
