avalanche 0 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I finally ordered Captain America and Super 8 after weeks of waffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The Amazon download of Super 8 is good enough for me. No double-dipping so soon.But I have been waffling about Captain America, because FYE wants $20 for it. I'll get an Amazon gift card and order the disc.

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 No, I just had to see for my own eyes how much FYE wanted to gouge me in the store, as opposed to their website, full of empty promises.Then I had to just get to the supermarket to buy an Amazon gift card so I can get gas points for buying the gift card. 10 cents off for every $50 purchased. Win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondm810 399 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Been a crazy couple days. Last score I listened to was Memoirs of a Geisha. My wife insisted we listen to it while my daughter was being born! My vote was for Desert Chase or T-Rex Rescue Finale, by ah well. I was a fan of the score before, but I have a feeling I will appreciate it significantly more in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain by Yann Tiersen.Got it out of the bargain bin after hearing from several friends that it was really nice. I found it disappointing. It's not bad, it's just not my taste. I do now know where that track they use on Top Gear every time they sum up the downside of any given car is from though.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I've been meaning to get Amelie in Blu. Haven't seen it since it came out and don't remember a thing.The score is an odd one, sometimes I love it, other times I don't.I ordered George Shaw's Jo-kel / Marcus from SAE's blowout sale, and decided to add Morricone's expanded Maddelena to it. Should have had Super 8 yesterday, but alas it didn't arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I picked up the JW/Boston Pops version of The Planets used for dirt cheap. I've really wanted this one for a while given its close relation with Star Wars. I have all the important Boston Pops CDs with JW's original music. However, I've wanted to acquire all the recordings. I just don't go out of my way to do so, occasionally picking up a CD if I find it for cheap and have the desire. Anyway, now to what pissed me off. Everything seemed in good shape and ready to rip in iTunes. I removed the wrapper and the jewel case fell apart. Well, okay, I can replace jewel cases. Then I looked at the disc and it says "Not For Sale--Promotional Copy." The hell? Still, it's the CD and now I can experience the music! I flipped the disc around and there are scratches all over...Don't you hate it when this happens? Don't really feel like awkwardly returning it. Just hoping it can properly rip with error correction.

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I hate buying scratched CDs. I don't mind buying a promo, because if it's used, it's cheap. But scratched? I normally don't use EAC because it takes too long, factored out over dozens and dozens of backlogged albums.Bought Captain America on CD from Amazon yesterday, it'll be here tomorrow, hopefully with my signed TNG disc.
