I recently switched over to the wal-mart/target mode of purchase. I used a distributor for years.  But with business dropping the way it has I had to look for ways to cut costs. and one of those was dropping the distributor. I was paying $19.14 per dvd, then Id go to target and see the same movie for $15. I buy about 100 dvds per store per month. Thats about $400 savings per store so $800 a month. I am saving about $10,000 a year, which may not seem like much but for my stores its a big savings. Definitly worth the hassle. And my employees and I are all huge movie fans, so its rare if something comes out we dont know anything about to atleast tell people what we think of it. There have been plenty of times when someone asks me if I saw a movie, and I have said no. If they ask me why not I tell the truth, That is just does not look like a good movie to me, or its something that doesnt really appeal to me but it could be really good if you like that type of movie. For those who watch all the movies that come out each week I am sorry you must watch some really horrible movies, concidering thats what about 90% of the DTV stuff is. The other 10% usually has enough word of mouth around it that my employees and I have heard of it and know a bit about it.

My answer is "No, unfortunately I did not have enough time to watch it."  If I had enough time I'd be happy to watch everything that came to the store!  I of course always tell them what I heard about it if anything.
