Per the above, thought you might find this (from yesterday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution) interesting:

INDIANA JONES . . . AND FACTS FROM THE DVD YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

• The definitive oomph of taking the top off the "Raiders" ark was achieved by sliding the lid off a bathroom toilet tank.

• The slithering of snakes on top of each other in "Raiders" was made aural by soundmen squishing fingers through cheese casserole.

I know where you are with this John. I just bought three dvd's, and I also really want the Battlestar Galactica boxed set too, and am still pondering the purchase of the recently released Shogun complete mini series set.
The difficult part is that I would maybe watch Shogun probably twice, over time, and, to me, that dosent justify dropping $60.00 on it. Sadly, if I dont buy though, it there isnt ANY way to see it at all. No rental store in my area is stocking it, including various Blockbusters, other national chains, the local stores, etc.

Today I walk into Best Buy and fresh on the shelves are: The Indiana Jones Collection Law & Order SVU Season 1 Law & Order CI Season 1 Taken-The Mini-Series (the only one not "on sale") Battlestar Galactica The Entire Series (in a plastic Cylon head cover!) and the film I went there to get...28 Days Later.... after much inner turmoil and rolling around on the carpet at Best Buy I ended up buying: The Indiana Jones Collection L&O SVU (my favorite of the franchise) 28 Days Later My wallet is screaming at the top of it's little kidskin lungs.

Hey J-

Do what I do....find the lowest price you can on Shogun...or any series set.....buy it...watch it till you drop...then resell it on Half.com for a buck or two less than anybody else has it listed for. The money you lose on the resale usually ends up being cheaper than renting the individial discs would have been anyway.

I have actually made a couple bucks a few times doing this when I originally bought a set on sale.
