Several folks have written to tell me that the new Criterion Blu-ray/DVD set of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is at their local Costco for twenty bucks. I was at a Costco on Thursday and didn't see it…but they also didn't have those great Bill Bailey corned beefs that I like to buy and cook in my crockpot. Hope they haven't stopped carrying them.
The Mad World set is the one for which I and two friends recorded a very, very long commentary track. Well, we had to. It's a very, very long movie. If you can't get to a Costco or your local one doesn't have it, you can still order a copy here for — at the moment — $30.37. If you do find it at a Costco, you can save ten bucks and put it towards the purchase of a Bill Bailey corned beef…or a bottle of Worcestershire Sauce that could fill a mid-sized lap pool.
