So, anyone seen this on DVD yet? What's the eval?

I was reading in the bathroom when I ran across an item written by
"Raul Bloodworth" <rb@spamless.edu> on Wed, 07 Jan 2004 00:31:30 GMT,
which said:

No, dammit! I went to eight stores, yesterday (in two states), and
everyone said it had been ordered but hadn't arrived yet. This
included two FYEs, one Best Buy, two Walmarts, two Borders and a
Barnes and Noble.

This seems to happen every now and then, and I get pissed off about it
every time. Granted, I live in a smaller market area (the corner
where New York, Vermont and Quebec meet), but this isn't that
well-known a movie, either; I can't believe it's some sort of triage
problem.

Ack! Glad I bought through Amazon then. Best of luck!

Picked up a copy last night. Looks good. Unless you're looking
for perfection, you won't be disappointed.

Tuesday, I was at the Best Buy in Newington, NH. Of this week's
six Warner "viewer's poll" releases, they only two of them: the
DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE double-feature and WHERE THE BOYS ARE.

Last night, I stopped at the BB in Nashua, NH, and they were
missing JEKYLL & HYDE and GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS, but had the
other four. There usually isn't this much disparity among
the local Best Buys.

Mine arrived 8 Jan (perhaps a record for Amazon/USPS.) Lovely transfer and
commentary by John Milius. Think my favorite scene is at the shooting range
with TR, Alice, and Quentin. TR is shooting at drawings of the Czar &
Kaiser while a military band in a nearby gazebo is gently playing "Sweet
Betsy from Pike."

I finally gave up and ordered it from Amazon. Just got the shipping
notice a few minutes ago.

I think my favorite line comes at the very end:

"Sherif, is there nothing in your life worth losing everything for?"

You won't be disappointed. Milius' commentary is just great!

I had similar experiences in DVDPlanet.com's store in Westminster CA.
That's the old Ken Crane's. I went in Tuesday with a list of seven
titles, including Wind and the Lion. Came out with 2 and no W&L. As
of Saturday none of them were available and lots of people were
asking why.

Apparently they are having lots of distribution problems. All through
Christmas they were having lots of problems getting new merchandise.
The people in the store were very frustrated about it and blaming a
new warehouse system.

My first question when a company has continuing problems getting new
product is if they are having financial problems. Who knows.....

The difference between genius and
stupidity is genius has limits.

I went to my Best Buy (Spokane, WA) and bought Dr. Jekyll...,
but they did not have Wind and the Lion.

Went next door to Borders and found the same thing. They said
Wind and the Lion is supposed to be in sometime this week and
would hold a copy for me. Who knows!
