SE7EN (1995) 30th Anniversary SteelBook Edition

 

Australia & New Zealand: March 12th

 

 

"Nothing wrong with a man taking pleasure in his work. I won't deny my own personal desire to turn each sin against the sinner." Gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, lust — everyone has a sin. For detectives William Somerset and David Mills they live among these sins, every day, a crumbling city of crime all around them. But nothing can prepare the partners for the killings they are about to experience, all of which begins when they find a morbidly obese man who has died from the forced ingestion of spaghetti. What starts as one bizarre crime turns into a case of serial murders as a predator named John Doe begins to execute victims by paying homage to the "deadly sin" they represent. Directed by David Fincher and starring Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey, Seven is hailed by critics as, "An intensely claustrophobic, gut-wrenching thriller."

Andie (Molly Ringwald) is an outcast at her Chicago high school, hanging out either with her older boss (Annie Potts), who owns the record store where she works, or her quirky classmate Duckie (Jon Cryer), who has a crush on her.

Probably missed the Godzilla Minus One 4K steelbook :(

 

JB website page gone, but I was told in store yesterday that it wasn't in stock in any Christchurch stores, but that it was on order. (as information just from someone reading on a screen on what their internal system said)

 

Anyone know how more about how JB exclusive steelbooks generally work? Do they get more than one shipment of these or is it just an automated system putting in the wrong thing?

 

 

 

I was planning on going in again within the next couple of days regardless, but it would be good to know my chances.

 

 

 

 

I would double check your local JB. I just walked into JB Wellington and picked up the MINUS ONE steel off the shelf. It was the last copy though, so I guess not much stock floating around, had 3 regular 4K copies however.

 

 

 

They also had Terrifier 1-3 on 4K and Blu-ray there too!

Did anyone get their hands on "A Bridge Too Far" from JBNZ? I was going to pick it up in the current sale but online at least is showing backorder only. Wondering if they got stock or not.

Not sure, but it looks like its one of those that may not have a high demand and they are getting them as they are ordered.
