BBM now in discount bin!

well, I guess it had to happen sometime.....yesterday I saw the BBM DVD in the discount bin at Walmart and Sam's club, selling for $11.86!  it's also in those DVD of the month club catalogs (buy one, get 4 free deals).   So, I dunno if that's good or bad, but at least it means that the movie has gone somewhat mainstream, no longer confined to the back dark corner of the video store.   And hey, even the classics can be in the discount bin, can't expect it to be full price forever!  it's almost a year now since the release.

I hear it's coming to Cable soon, so next stop...network TV!  Parental discretion advised....haha.

 ;D ::)

If people buy the dvd, even now at discount price, well at least thats someone else who is going to see that movie, and if just one out of 100 of them, feel the message and it changes their view on things, then it will be worth it.....

Kazza:
This is bizzare. I was in a store on Saturday and saw that BBM was in the discount section, and I felt offended.

I guess it's good that more people might see it now..... but I was struck by an urge to bring it up to the counter and point out that a film of this quality, one that had touched the lives of so many people in so deep a fashion, should never be in the discount section.

Not the thoughts of a sane individual huh?  :)

Katie77:
No, Kazza, you are not alone.....i guess we all feel that...but im trying to think positiive, about more people seeing it.....

BBM in the discount bin? - Don't look right. :(

In my country, BBM is available as rental DVD for just a few weeks now. And it will be available to purchase from October, 16th.
Sometimes it's good to be behind  :)

When my daughter goes to her ballett lessons, we always come along the video store. For the last weeks, I always stopped at the display window. Just seing the big BBM poster there makes me feel good  :)
