I love checking out Movies when I go to Menards. It is almost exclusively Mill Creek but that's fine. My favorite Menards bargin bin find was a DVD copy of the Jimmy Steward film Winchester 73. This is an incredible western and has not been released on blu ray in region 1. Not to diminish the 5.00 score but I liked it so much I bought the region B blu off Amazon UK. My next favorite Menards find is the Blu Ray release of, White Line Fever, a great old Trucker move. That was like 10.00 dollars though.

They caused drama here when they enforced masks. Everyone was like "well I'm taking my business to Lowe's!" Now Lowe's requires masks.

So I guess they're going to Amazon.

Man I miss Menards... and Hy-Vee.... ugh....

I live right next to a Menards and was thankful they imposed that mandate early, they got tons of business from me.

Regardless, I always feel weird buying a blu-ray there for some reason. It's like buying one from the grocery store or something. I might snag that Sheena disc though and feel like an old perv when the cashier scans it.

I would love to go in and look for Can't Hardly Wait with slip but I would feel weird if they don't have it and I walk out not buying anything.

It's a massive home improvement store which carries a bunch of different kinds of products. I'd wager that there are just as many people that leave empty handed as there are folks that purchase something simply because they have so many items that you may want/need to price and see in person before making a decision. They also typically have fun Halloween and Christmas stuff out each year which in and of itself can be worth stopping by to check out.

Silver lining...at least it keeps those people at home and out of society.

I may stop by one tomorrow to try and find Can't Hardly Wait.

I found a decent amount of stuff at one store. The Can't Hardly Wait copy I found had a really awful slip, but in case I don't find it later, gonna keep it cause I need the movie.
Also found a triple feature of Blind Fury/Silent Rage/White Line Fever. No slip, but not sure this title came with one.

Also saw Silent Rage and Goon, both with slips, for anyone that cares.

I hit up a second store that had 2 copies. Still not as great, but one was like slightly used looking shall well say? The one I found at the last store had a tear down the front cover.

I still wish the alleged R rated version of this movie would be released someday.

If you listen to the commentary, they just keep talking about scenes that had to be cut from what they shot. It's why you see some scenes in the trailer, not in the movie...like with Jason Segal and his watermelon.

If memory serves, all of the cut scenes had to do with teenagers and boozing.

It can be a trying commentary, as Seth Green thought it'd be funny to pretend he was British the entire thing.
