TJ Maxx - $4.99 (Instead of the ridiculous $30 from Amazon; but this version only contained the discs, the book and slip cover were missing, which is fine by me)
Picked up a couple of classic westerns at K-Mart for $5 apiece. They were anamorphic wide screen 2:35.1, so definitely good buys. I picked up -
The Man From Laramie - Directed by Anthony Mann and starring James Stewart, Arthur Kennedy and Donald Crisp. Really good story and excellent photography. One of the first westerns to be shot in Cinemascope.
Ten Wanted Men - Starring Randolph Scott. One of his better westerns.
One-Eyed Jacks - Directed and starred in by Marlon Brando. Co-stars included Karl Malden and this was the only western directed by Brando.
The only way to watch movies - Original Aspect Ratio!!!!
I LOVE my Blu-Ray Disc Player!

I did not even know TJ Maxx sold DVDs.
Anyway, today is the end of the Movie Gallery Closing sale so aside from two sports video games that may or may not work for a total of eighty-seven cents I got these DVDs...
The Great Buck Howard
Bottle Shock
Hamlet 2
The Marc Pease Experience
Crazy People
Strangers With Candy
Nanny McPhee
The Lookout
Art School Confidential
Roving Mars
Now along with those blind buys I got my dad another today (got my aunt and mom a few the other day) and he returned the favor when he got some Frank Capra movie used at Blockbuster and told me to get one before being told buy the clerk a third was only $2 more. I got these two films I actually HAVE seen...
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Fantastic Mr. Fox: Rental Exclusive Edition
Both of these would look Fantastic (No pun intended on Blu-Ray) but going to University soon I can't afford all of the films I want. I'm sure someday I'll get the Blu-rays and the bonus DVDs with the BDs will go to my sister. Right now I'm just happy to have the films at all.
And nice bundle to get for 87 cents, Jiminy! I still need to see if <i>Marc Pease</i> is as bad as everyone seemed to think.

Sorry about that, Luke. I may have written that in an awkward manor. The two games were 87 cents but the movies at Movie Gallery were about a buck a piece or so. Not nearly as good as you may have been thinking it was but I still think I did well in the long run. As for the films, I have yet to see a lot of the DVDs I've got in the last couple of weeks so I don't yet know how good or bad The Marc Pease Experience is but I'll keep you posted if you'd like. The Great Buck Howard however was a lot of fun.
Batman the Animated Series: Volume Three - 18.88
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles the Complete First Season - 17.88
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season - 17.88
Walmart: $41.96 (It was free, really, because I got a $50 gift card for graduation)
I can't wait. I'm super excited about this release because I love Glee. Even though there were some flaws with the show and the release isn't everything that it could be, I'm happy that I'll at least have the show.
Some things are not on that list though (like that 6 disc Disney World DVD set that came out recently and isn't available on the site). Plus, I just moved in with my little sis in Austin, 5 hours north of where I used to live. I've only managed to bring up a quarter of my DVD collection so far. Even part of my Disney DVD collection is still at home. If I can just manage to find a job here, we'll get a bigger apartment and I can go bring up the rest and my collectibles as well. *sigh*
Anyway, my most recent purchases were the remake of Freaky Friday, Disney's Where the Red Fern Grows, and the latest edition of "The Great Mouse Detective".
I haven't actually bought a movie in about a year! Well, I got one of the last seasons Smallville for Christmas, it was a Black Friday deal for 10 bucks, I think.
Sometime in the last year I also grabbed Fringe Season 1 when it was 10 bucks or so at Best Buy, and I used some reward zone certificates to get the Family Guy Something Something Dark Side lunch box (Blu-Ray, I think, but I haven't opened it yet.)
If it was Blu-Ray, my PS3 died on me, so I can't watch it until that's fixed, although I might be able to use the Digital Copy.
