I've been slightly obsessed with the Back To The Future trilogy since the first chapter was penned in 1985. After hearing that Universal was about to discontinue the boxed trilogy, I jumped into research mode. It seems that Amazon is selling the entire Back To The Future Trilogy

I am enjoying these posts far too much.
Brad, you and Matt should join forces to produce a bargain blog.

Beware that the formatting could still be faulty. Two reviewers said that it's not in fact widescreen but pan & scan with superimposed black bars above and beyond the center of the picture.

@Kory: Umm. Not VHS. Did you even click the link?! :)
@Nick: …and The Big Bargain was born. Or something like that. Maybe.
@Rene: Those comments are from 2002. Universal fixed this problem in the summer of '03. Trust me… That's what I meant by "slightly obsessed".

Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't buy this boxset, he'd melt my brain.

@Krystyn: Amazing! :D

@Nick: Or you could just read my site, where I've been scooping Brad since 1978 :)

He's She's got a point, Nick! I live by my Bargainist RSS feed. Made some black friday purchases simply because of their amazing sleuth work.
The Bargainist is from the amazing people at Zombie Corp that also bless my life with Uncrate. Booyah.

I'm a noob. My blunder is noted. ;)

I mean, seriously, you can't overlook my rockin', bargain-hunting bod.

Back To The Future is a freakin' awesome trilogy of movies. So is there any debate to which one of the three was the better? Personally I'm going for the first which only just shades the second in my opinion.

Uncrate is a great site, but everything on there is expensive.

Thanks

Flux me!
Thanks for the heads up Brad. I too am slightly obsessed. I actually got away with writing my final paper on the trilogy!

thank you, thank you, thank you!

This Back To The Future Trilogy is really worthy of it

Back to the Future was and is probably one of the coolest trilogies ever made. To prove our frenzy… While I was in the US I bought the DVDset, while meantime my brother in Belgium bought the same box.

I'm sure I'm only repeating what other people have said but the movie merits it. Back to the Future is one of the most amazing trilogies ever made. I think a cable channel aired it some time a few months back and I still feel like the whole concept is brand new. The boxed set is certainly a fantastic deal but I went over to Amazon and read a few reviews. Reportedly, there's something going on with the matte Universal did. It's not such a big deal and DVD's can be replaced.

Brad Smith founded Neubix, a quirky Midwestern design studio, with Ryan Sims in 2001. Now residing in great metropolis of New York City, he Captains a ship named Virb. Brad is a fan of neat rows, sad songs and sharpies. He's a lover, not a fighter and still thinks Darth Vader was framed.

The other night, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to tweak out my profile on MySpace.
I decided to make a full length short film at 3 AM, starring none other than Brad Smith.
