I'm thinking about making a blind buy of this on Amazon as they have the 6 (or 7) disc set of Herzog-Kinski collaborations for $36.  Atari, have you seen the other films?  Aguirre (the Wrath of God) is supposed to be just as insane and Nosferatu is the basic retelling of the Dracula story.

I'm thinking about picking up the Blu Ray of Tell No One--French thriller.  Problem is I can only pick one-either the blu ray or the multiple Kinski set.

I can never get past the beginning of "The Seventh Seal."  Wild Strawberries however is a very sweet and sentimental story about the aging professor (played by famed Swedish director Victor Sjorstrom) and how he reexamines his life as he is about to pick up an award.  I liked the relationship he had with his daughter in law. 

It makes me wish I didn't tape over it now.

I was there a month ago and can add an observation or two.  The DVDs they have on sale in the circular sell well, especially if its $10 or less.  They usually have this upfront and most of the DVDs are gone in a few days or so.  The CD section is a ghost town.  There are usually more people playing the guitar hero game then there are people in the cd section.  I've always seen people either purchasing computers and the related equipment.  I'm pretty sure they make some money off HD tv sales as well.  Their bluray section is limited though.

All in All, I'd say that the CD section of the store is the least populated.  I remember going there last December to pick up Dark Knight and looked at the GNR chinese democracy display, I'd say at most 10 cds were sold--there was still a majority left in the display rack.

You have to wonder about BB business sense if they still refuse to cut the prices to move Chinese Democracy.  It was still selling at $11.99 when I went there in April.

Interesting.  What ratio/percentage does a film have to make in order for it to be considered a success financially?  I read somewhere where it was 1.5 more than budget + promotion/marketing.  An easy example:  Movie X cost 20 million (includes prom+budg) to make, and it grosses 30 million.  Is it considered a success or a financial loss?

Back to Terminator franchise, I don't think its dead but I suspect that they will scale back the budget drastically.  It still makes money and there is a built in audience.  Studios are cutting back on salary during the recession as Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johannson are getting less than $500,000 for their upcoming roles in Iron Man II.  One last point this Terminator film will actually make less if you account for inflation as the ticket prices have risen since the T3 came out.

I'm still not sure how the studio's can justify sinking that much money into a simple movie project.  If you thought the budget for T4 was bad, the upcoming Transformers film has a budget of 300 million dollars.

BB is also offering free shipping on blurays for two days making it a good deal.  Tejastech08, how is the picture quality on T2, I've read some reviews on Amazon that says the picture quality is crap.

I just drank a can of throwback Pepsi while watching a dvd.  First thing, that tart aftertaste that you get with the HFCS Pepsi is not here, that is a positive although it might take you some time to get used to the difference. At first I thought it tasted like some diet cola.

There is a better cola flavor in this throwback Pepsi as it leaves a far superior aftertaste and finish.  I'd say that it tastes similar to the gummi cola candy made by Haribo.:thumbup:

In short, I prefer this version to the regular Pepsi.  I'll try to drink a Mountain Dew throwback and compare it to the original.
