Shame on me!

Looks like we both have to buy naked Arnold this week when it hits the bin.

I wonder if BBY will have a display with these red case movies.

LOL!

I still hate myself.

I hope your computer automatically started playing this when the search results were generated.

I actually went to Dollar General yesterday and I picked up Terminator, but it was the remastered 2013 version.

Found two different versions of Rocky too, both came with just Blu-ray but one was used and originally released as a Blu/DVD combo. Also had Princess Bride, Hoosiers, Rocky IV, Owl City, Beach Boys, and a few others. Definitely YMMV.

That's the one I need, I guess...Now I'm thinking, though, that I'll wait a bit for the newer/red release to go down in price.

Well it's $9.99 on FoxConnect with an Icon faceplate so I'm sure it'll be down to $5 during a sale. Believe it or not Terminator is actually a blind-buy for me!

Since I've purchased it TWICE already, I'll wait for something cheaper.

Honestly, I (obviously) don't mind the original release.

Wouldn't that be four words?

I was saying it's "Spaceballs" and not "Space Balls."


Geez...This is what you get for making a joke about a movie that's making a joke!

I'm going to watch Total Recall now!

I think its a close call with this one, just wish it would get a blu-ray release.

We can't be the only two people who consider it a masterpiece. It has the best acting, best story, best backdrops and effects, and best dialogue of all of Arnold's films.

I never did get the DVD. Was it only pan and scan? There's some reason I avoided it. Truthfully, I thought it was kind of overrated at the time, but I suspect I'd appreciate it a lot more now because it was kind of the beginning of the end of that great '80s action movie era (even though it came out in 1994).

And Twins was 4:3. I got that one anyway, I think. It was eventually re-released in widescreen on DVD, years into the Blu-Ray era. Where the hell is the Blu???
