Looper BD - £12 in Sainsburys.

[Big Chris]

Spotted it while shopping.... Rather annoying as I'd only ordered it from Play.com at £16.99 earlier that day. |(

Cue me frantically trying to connect The Wife's HTC - stupidly left mine at home - to mobile internet, while trawling the aisles to see if I can cancel my order, to find that it's already "processing", so I can't..... :wall:

Hmm, I'm going in there tomorrow lunchtime, will keep my eyes open for that, ta.

 

[Big Chris]

I just hope it wasn't specific to Gravesend store at about 5:43 p.m on Wed 30th Jan.

 

[The_Lhc]

I guess I'll find out soon enough! Got to be honest I can't even remember seeing BDs in the local store before now, although I haven't really looked too closely.

Girlfriend picked one up today for 12.99 from Sainsbury p

Wait until it comes down in price.... it's not such a great movie tbh.

Really? It got mostly very good reviews.

I think it was a good movie, but found it dragged quite a bit more on second veiwing. £12 is a bargain.

Good film but IMO not so good that it needs to be bought and watched immediately, I'd wait until it's under £10. Also doesn't surprise me that it drags more on second watch, so maybe better as a rental.

 

[The_Lhc]

The offer was there,

but the shelves were all bare.

I got Dredd instead.

I DONE A HAIKU!!!

 

[Big Chris]

Not quite. :shame:

You're one short on the second line by my reckoning..

 

[The_Lhc]

Balls.

I was going to put "but the cupboard was all bare" on the second line but shelves made more sense, I just didn't check the syllables.

"Shel-ves"? No?

Phew, you've just saved me £12.99 🙂

(Mission: Impossibe Ghost Protocol Blu-ray is £8 at Sainsbury's; reckoned it'd be rude not to, so...)

EDIT: Well, that was a waste of £8: a 130-minute vainglorious Tom-fest built around gratuitous product/country placement.

New yardstick: if one's a fan of Bourne and Craig-era Bonds, Mission films now fall short?

What about "But the shelving was all bare"?

Yes, that would have worked nicely. :-(

Not a film I could watch twice, and it is cheaper to buy it once from Sky etc.

Waste of cash in my opinion - very few films are worth owning. Boxes of dvd's in the garage are a lesson we all learn...

Just watched it as love film had sent it out at same time as girlfriend bought it for me we took it back yesterday and I am glad she did !

I watched Looper in October at the cinema. It didn't help that it was really loud, even by my standards of playing Blu-Rays very loudly in all three of my rooms. And was the sound correctly balanced? There didn't seem to be much coming from the rear speakers. However, those may be faults of the cinema, rather than the film. Of the film itself, I didn't quite understand the plot, and the bits that I did understand, I didn't much like. No, I won't be buying the Blu-Ray even if it cost only 5p. And to reply to SAP7 - perhaps not many films are worth owning, but I'm pleased to have and repeatedly play most of the approximately 100 Blu-Rays and DVDs that I own, with the Blu-Ray of District 9 being a glaring exception.
