I thought about grabbing that -- it looks quite ridiculous. In hindsight, I should have added it to my collection of DVDs I fully intend to watch (but probably never will )

I wasn't able to get photos of all the boxes -- the guy brought them out of the back and was moving them around for a while as I went through them so I didn't want to obviously be taking photos.

Appreciate the info. I may have to stop by mine to see if they put them out early, but really the only one of interest so far is Upstream Color.

I feel the same though I end up buying whatever is out, blu-wise.

Isn't the September drop usually "big" name titles? JTTCOTE is the only one I have an interest in finding. Let's see what the West gets this wave.

I totally would have grabbed Wonder Years had I seen it.

It's in your second picture right below Mike Tyson Mysteries!

Yep.. I noticed that too after looking at the photos again. I totally overlooked it.

Does anyone know if the new movies are supposed to be put out Friday 9/13 or Friday 9/20? Is there an ad listing them? I didn't see this answered in the last few pages.

I realize some stores have already gotten theirs and put them out. From my prior experiences, my stores get anywhere from 0 to 6 boxes of movies, and they put them out whenever they feel like it (or in the managers' words "when we get around to it"). Last time one further away store got a huge number of boxes of movies and refused to put them out for a long time or let me look through them. I was told they started trickling them out over months because they didn't have enough room. I decided it wasn't worth the time/gas to go there.

If all DT stores would put out all the movies on the same day, then I could set aside a morning or afternoon to hit a bunch of them in 1 trip rather than driving all over town as each store decides to put theirs out on different days. Unfortunately the total inconsistency of DT movies means I only go to a few stores near me because most stores are a waste of time. It's maybe 1 out of 6 stores that has some good stuff. I sometimes called the stores, but more and more often they get annoyed being asked to check on movies saying they are the only person at the register with a long line of people. The employees on the floor rarely have any clue what's in the back or when it's supposed to go out.

For this reason, I no longer invest a lot of time and driving for these DT movie sales and usually don't find much I want at the few stores I visit.

These are the ones I'd like to find:




Plus - Pretty Bad Actress (2012) which isn't on this site yet.

My store received Pretty Bad Actress (DVD) but I left it for someone else. It looked like there was only one copy of that, The Layover and Afternoon Delight, so these may be tougher to find; zhuge1's pictures may confirm this..

I'm excited to see more Scooby and Tom & Jerry - hopefully they'll come here and I can beat the ebay dvd cartoon lot(ers). Also I wants Mike Tyson's Mysteries.

Maybe Holiday Inn will show up.

atm: I'm probably not buying a lot in this cycle - I'm trying to save money (hahahahaha!!!) so that before Halloween, I might have a new pretty 4k main screen (tv - I'm a multiple tv/screens set up, cuz as a child it was a sign of uber rich and so damn cool)

my ultimate tv fantasy?? is to have my ceiling as solid screen it would be AWESOME!!!!!

Not usually an ad. But Zhuge has a picture of one of the boxes that says to put it out on Sept 20.

I'd say that it is relatively easy, but I've done thousands, so I may not be the most objective. There are also various factors that make it easier or harder.

For example, there was already a Master Movie ID for this in the database (under the IMDb titles of Love, Gloria), so that makes it easier and fills in some info automatically. DVD's, Blu-ray's, digital, etc. don't have to be connected to one, but it provides several benefits to do so.

In this instance I don't own the dvd or have access to an image of the rear cover art, so there's some info there that would be good to add that's missing. But that can be edited in later by anyone.

Amazon lists the studio as "Little Stephie Films". They're not always correct, but IF they are then that's a more obscure studio that's not yet available as an option at this site. But it can be requested.

Here's the basic form for adding new DVD's, when there's no Master Movie ID (aka Theatrical Entry) already in the system, and if you don't want to try to add that first: https://www.blu-ray.com/products/?c=...ion=addproduct

The Blu-ray form is similar, though there are fewer of those titles missing from this site. Either way, I'd encourage you to give it a try. Most of the people who review DVD submissions are friendly, and know that pretty much everyone who's learning makes mistakes at some point. Good luck to you if you do try it.

Stopped by my closest Dollar Tree this morning.
IOTW is Halloween Solar lights. Electronics department was devoid of any movies.
Before I left, I noticed a box on the side of the front IOTW bin. It said Tableware 9/13.
So, it looks like Tableware is IOTW for 9/13 and then the movies for 9/20.

I'm gonna stop by another location tomorrow. One that usually puts out movies 1 week early. I might get lucky.

[mysteryfunk]

Manager at DT up the street let me look through boxes before they went out.
I picked up:
Blu:
Journey to the Center of the Earth (B. Fraser version)
Sleuth
Black or White
TMNT II
Sweetwater
Dog Eat Dog
Ocean Odyssey: The Blue Realm
Yoga Hosers
Upstream Color
Bad Words
The Power of Few
Indian Summers Season 1
Double Feature: The Colony / Stranded
Double Feature: The Double / The Numbers Station

DVD: Afternoon Delight
Double feature: Loose Cannons / Another You
Mike Tyson Mysteries
Hollow Man
Batman Unlimited: Mechs vs. Mutants
Team Snoopy
Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest movie

On blu, they also had Dark Shadows, The Samaritan, Tooth Fairy, and a bunch more I can't remember.

Thanks for the good info. After seeing your response, I decided to call a few stores. All but one confirmed they would wait until F 9/20 (though in the past some employees have put them out early anyway), except one store I called which has been cool to me before offered to let me look through 6 boxes worth if I go tomorrow.

I'm debating if it's worth an 11 mile drive each way for an early peek at 6 boxes figuring it's going to be mostly DVDs or if I should take my chances and just go to all of them on F 9/20. First world decisions/problems.

I would go. If you get lucky and find most/all of your wants, that 22 miles will be a lot less than you'd have to travel to hit every other store on a wild goose chase.

Had to go to a DT anyway and did found a mess of new movies in the electronics isle...
Even though I swore to myself no more regular DVDs, I couldn’t resist some...
