I think so. It's interesting. The plot touches on commercialization and Reaganomics and all that.

**Melis** · 06-28-2018, 05:38 PM

Oh, hm.. I hope I like it.

Just got the steelbook of this a week or two ago. Looks beautiful!

Update, I watched this today, for the first time in about 20 years. So amazing. I love it so much more than i did!

I look to getting a copy of it too. It has been way too long.

I saw that this was available to watch On Demand. I am tempted to watch but I actually want to own it.

**Melis** · 10-07-2018, 02:03 PM

You can still buy it, right?

On Amazon, yes. There are no longer stores here (Hastings) that would have it.

**Melis** · 10-08-2018, 07:19 PM

I see. Thanks

**GardenSirens** · 10-08-2018, 08:38 PM

Yes, Melis. The Steelbook is sold out, but the same disc in there is in the Scream Factory edition which is still in stock on amazon for 19.99. It's truly one of the better John Carpenter films.
