I'd been ignoring all of the posts about the massive sale. Today I got another email announcing the sale is coming to a close on Saturday so I started browsing. Serial Experiments Lain for $35! Ginger Snaps for $5! The Troll boxset giving away Troll 2 because they knew it wouldn't get any distribution otherwise: $7.30! $7.50 for Reign of Fire which

I own Troll, Troll 2, and Reign of Fire, and I'm PROUD of all of them! Troll 2 was a big hit at Bad Movie Night when Biozombie didn't arrive from Netflix in time. I was so pleased that I'd taken along an alternative.

Reign of Fire wasn't as good as I'd wanted it to be, but I happened to love McConaughey's character. He was probably 70% of the reason I saw the movie, the other 30% being I read fantasy for so long and felt obligated to see a dragon movie. It wasn't a bad movie, though, and I wouldn't mind owning it.

I think Troll 2 aired really late and I made my mom tape it for me. I believe I was interrupted halfway through too. We've had this discussion before, and it's generally agreed upon to be one of the worst movies of all time, but I think it would be amusing to own it too.

I assume I saw Reign of Fire on my post-Equilibrium Christian Bale high, though I've liked him since a was a wee tyke and my parents set me down in front of Empire of the Sun.

(I admire your dedication to italics, by the way. So often I lack the patience to follow through.)

Troll 2 is truly one of the worst movies ever, though you must classify it with other low-budget sincere failures, not among high-profile bad movies such as Gigli and Pearl Harbor. There are varying scales of badness, and Troll 2 holds a very special place on a certain scale. The movie was packaged with Troll, of course, which is why I purchased it. I have a big soft spot for Troll. Troll 2 actually never uses the word "troll" and was, in fact, an unrelated movie that the company decided to tack onto a more successful horror movie. It is unrepentant in its awfulness.

I've got the Troll/Troll 2 disc also, haven't seen either in a while though.

I do want to see Biozombie. I heard that it has english and engrish subtitles and that the engrish subtitles are hysterical. Is it any good? or should I say bad enough that it's entertaining to watch?

Where can I get Lain for $35? Is that the series boxed set?

Let's try that again.

Put in SUPERSALE for the coupon code and it should take 20% off the $44.60. At least according to the email and dr_r0ck.

Yep.

$35.68 is the total when I put it in my cart and it would be exactly that due to the awesomeness of their free shipping.

Excellent. Let me know what you think! It gets very wacky.

This is going to take crackerjack timing, Wang.

It really is.
