Even more Amazon sales

[yendi]

The posts from last week regarding Amazon sales (the 50% off Veronica Mars one, the Psychonauts for $9.99 one, and the massive one with TV and movie sets on sale) are all still active, but Amazon's thrown another two into the mix:

Season 1 TV sets at $15.98 each. Many of these (Jeremiah, Young Riders) are from that previous list, but there are some others that I'd missed (Addams Family, Fame, Rat Patrol).

A "DVD Blowout" section with 60% discounts on a bunch of movies. Notable ones here include Elf, Poison Ivy, and Badasssss!

ETA: robyn_ma notes that you can get all three Poison Ivy movies (unrated, even!) as a $12.73 set, a better deal than the 60% off one above (and in can be found at brick-and-mortar stores for under $10, and for around $8 at Deep Discount DVD during the 20% off sale).

(And really, why wouldn't you want all three movies?)

If there are any Poison Ivy fans out there, though, all three movies came out last week as a triple-feature DVD (http://www.amazon.com/Poison-Ivy-1-3-Sara-Gilbert/dp/B000HT38EO/sr=1-3/qid=1163433394/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/002-0711810-8139210?ie=UTF8&s=dvd) for just $12.73 via Amazon (and you can get it for under $10 at places like Target and Wal-Mart). Which might explain why Amazon has downpriced the individual discs (which would now cost $23.91 if purchased individually).

The triple-feature edition contains the all-important unrated versions of the flicks, though in full-frame only (which, with these movies, isn't that much of a compromise).

If anyone wants it, though, act fast — the Poison Ivy set (along with all the other triple-feature discs released last week (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=475348)) goes out of print January 26.

Noted and edited. Thanks!

'(And really, why wouldn't you want all three movies?)'

They're all varying degrees of crap (though the first one at least tries to be serious), though there's a certain guilty-pleasure element involved — especially with part 3, now that Jaime Pressly is a bona fide mainstream celebrity now thanks to My Name Is Earl. Part 2 is deadly dull, as is the other Anne Goursaud/Alyssa Milano 'erotic thriller' Embrace of the Vampire, though both flicks are cherished by those who simply wish to view Alyssa's milanos.

Also, neglect not Larry Cohen's It's Alive triple-feature. For under $10, it's a fun trilogy to own.

Fun trilogy. 'struth. I remember seeing the second and part of the third on Joe Bob Briggs's "Monstervision" (when it was on either TNT or TBS) and he commented that the films were likely a commentary on abortion...but that you couldn't tell Larry Cohen's politics, or personal feelings about abortion, from watching it. The films are kinda sly that way.

(Now I'm hearing Bernard Herrmann's Moog from the first film...Mental radio rules!)
