Count Down is starting for me, I have a week and a day until mine should be delivered. 

Mine could be in the mail any day now but if not receive by Tuesday, I'll get it at a store.  I'll have one copy for me, one copy to lent.

I know, I'm not addicted at all.

I have preordered 2 copies because I am sure I will wear out the first.   ;)

I ordered Amazon with 1 day shipping.  The shipping cost was 14.98 and each copy was 16.98 and if they don't deliver it the next day they had better be ready for some screaming at them. LOL

On Amazon today, BBM is the number one highest ordered DVD. Yesterday, it was number two.

did anyone notice the TV ad for the DVD release?  I saw it for the first time two days ago and was very surprised.  The ad showed the DVD cover, then one second scenes from the film (2 of which were not, I think, in the film!) and the voice over didn't say "winner of 3 academy awards...."   but  "nominated for 8 academy awards including BEST FILM!"  Very interesting !

I haven't gotten to see it! I need more tv. All this school and work is getting in the way of my lying around time.

You're right stephen...I don't think the whole ad lasted 5 second.  I wasn't too happy.  I was planning to get my copy at Wal-Mart, but they don't even have the poster up yet.  I called and asked if they were going to get it, one of the "workers in the electronics dept." said she  "thought" so.  I said well the poster is not up yet.  She said it was too soon to put the poster up; I said the poster for CHRONICLES OF NARNIA is up and it comes out the same day  >:(...of course she didn't have an answer for that.  I'm going to call the business office today and see what they say.  Donna

My pre-ordered copy of BBM from Indigo.ca here in Canada ... ARRIVED THIS MORNING!!!

I don't know how they justify mailing it out before the offical release date, but I'm not complaining.  Lucky, lucky me.

I had planned on going  to the threatre one last time this weekend, but maybe I'll just stay home with our boys.

Of course, I could always do both .. just to continue to support BBM box office numbers.

glad to hear you two are still supporting the box office run of BBM; The DVD was number #1 in pre orders alone, so all of this will help to support Focus and Ang Lee's work in getting the story to the big screen!  My DVD has not arrived yet; to tell you the truth, I'm a bit nervous about seeing BBM on the small screen! Wish I were rich enough to have my own home theater.

I know going to small screen will be a big transition but I am going to make the best of it, turn off the lights, etc.  I have a flat screen so it's not too bad.  But remember we can really relax and take it in.  We can be with our boys whenever we want/need to!  yay! ;D

You're absolutely right: I have to look at the advantages: Being able to relax and take in the film whenever....and not have to worry about other distracting, noisy viewers!

I also just got an email from Amazon.com saying that my copy had been shipped.  It's coming 2nd day air, but Amazon estimates it won't be here until the 6th since it won't reach UPS until tomorrow.  I haven't heard anything from Wolfe about the copy I ordered from them.

I bet they are. Are you going to buy a copy at the store to tide yourself over until it comes?

My DVD has not arrived yet; to tell you the truth, I'm a bit nervous about seeing BBM on the small screen! Wish I were rich enough to have my own home theater.

Stephen, I am with you on that one.  I had the DVD out all weekend and couldn't bring myself to watch the movie!  I checked out the bonus features to get my fix, but I just couldn't run the actual film.  I want the setting and the mood at home to be just right when the boys come into my home for the first time, I guess. 

If anyone has been able to watch it at home, please tell us if it "feels" any different.  I've never thought of theatre viewing as being intimate, but for some reason, seeing this very private story told on the big screen just made it seem so real. 

Can you still get that feeling at home, with all the usual distractions and without a massive home theatre system? ???

Yes, Red,  I will experience what you already have; waiting for the right moment! I will have to turn off my phone and make sure I'm ready to settle in without interuptions; but how I would love my own home theater system!

I can understand the need to wait for the right moment. I just went through this with my newly acquired BBM soundtrack CD. I was really stressed out when I received my CD in the mail (I had lost something and was frantically looking for it). I had to put the CD away and not listen to it until I was in a better frame of mind.

Amazon tends to low ball their delivery dates.  I predict it will be there sooner.

I just checked mine, too, and found:

Track your package

It looks like it may be here (northwest Florida) on the 5th!

Well, I received mine yesterday and just held it for maybe 20 minutes observing every detail of the DVD package, turning it over in my hands as if it were some antique relic that I had to be very careful with......and I wondered, How can I be holding in this little package all the BBM world and our forum and the weeks of emotiona upheaval !.....and finally I turned off my answering machine, and just like Red in the previous post, I watched only the special features. I have to wait for the "right time and feeling" to see again the film and to be prepared for the small screen.
