Major DVD Release List for Summer/Fall '03

[Scott]

Looks like a release date of 10/7/03...

add the XMas Story Figures which will probably be out at the same time and yowza what a year!



Side story (which I posted at GH last year )...

Did you ever have something that you loved, be at a band, a TV show, or a movie, and you thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well that movie for me was A Christmas Story, our family watched that at the theater when it first came out and loved it. We then got a video copy and watched it every year while we opened presents. I always told my friends they should see it...then it all snowballed. It started showing up on cable and it has gotten to the point that it is on 24 hours a day on TBS. It is getting to the point of being run into the ground and everyone loves it as their movie

I still love the movie to no end, it is one of my top 10 favorite movies of perhaps all time. We often quote lines for different events throughout the year, we sing Jingle Bells like they do...part of me wishes it was still my little secret, selfish for sure, but my little secret is gone

[Virex]

I think you probably identified with Peter Billingsley, in looks, while you were a kid, and that's why you're stuck on it to this day.

[Scott]

You know, either you are on to something or you are on something.  I did sorta look like PB when I was a lad, my glasses were not "hornrimmed" though.

[Virex]

Separated at birth, OCB-style:

[Scott]

Man, it is scary...I need to go raid my folk's photo stash anyway to get some shots of me opening some SW swag back in the day...I've been trying the last few minutes to find a recent pic of PB but to no avail.  I also didn't know he was buds with Vince Vaughn and John Favreau, cool beans

[Virex]

Yeah, a quick Image Search on Google netted two crappy pictures of PB, the least-worst of which is above, and a whole bunch of scans of the old Christmas Story DVD and VHS cover.  Other than that, nothin'.

Had no idea he was a Swinger, too, but then again, all I wanted was a pic of the kid, not his entire life story. . .  

[Virex]

Well, all signs are pointing to a December 2nd release for Pirates of the Caribbean, so I went ahead and put it in The List.

Should be a nice, two-disc special edition, although it hasn't been announced yet.

[Scott]

Wait, where did you get that new pic?

[Scott]

I realize this is Winter '04 but, I'm posting it anyway

Nice--I'll add it to the list (already have a "2004 releases" section, anyway).  But isn't it really early to have a street-date for this thing?  I mean, that's like six months away.

And here's the track-listing for the "old" DVD, Touring Band 2000, for comparison:

---------------------------------------
Long Road
Corduroy
Grievance
Animal
God's Dice
Evacuation
Given to Fly
Dissident
Nothing as it Seems
Even Flow
Lukin
Not for You
Daughter
Untitled
MFC
Thin Air
Leatherman
Betterman
Nothingman
Insignificance
I Got Sh.t
RVM
Wishlist
Jeremy
Evolution
Don't Go
Parting Ways
Rocking in the Free World
------------------------------------

So, if I'm seeing everything correctly, looks like there's only eight tracks which will be duplicated between the two DVDs, most of which are live staples:  Corduroy, Even Flow, Given to Fly, Wishlist, Not for You, Jeremy, Insignificance, and Betterman.

And, it looks like they're adding a few tracks which were conspicuously absent from the first one, too.

I wish there would have been a track from "my" concert (Oklahoma City), but oh well.  Looks to be another fine PJ DVD.

(Now playing:  PJ, "Off He Goes", No Code)--before I read Scott's PJ news, too.)  

[Virex]

Oh, and by the way, I'm half-heartedly considering changing this thread's title to "The Matt & Scott Show" or some other such nonsense. . .  

[JediMAC]

Wait, where did you get that new pic?

No kidding!  Where the hell did that come from V?  Classic!  What a ... uh...  Nevermind.  I've just got to point out that my sweater is way cooler looking than your sorry looking hat!  

So...  Pirates likely on Dec. 2nd, eh?  Good deal!  I'll definitely be picking that one up!  TTT comin' up real soon too now!

And even though Scott's been the only one chatting with you in here Virex, don't think many of us aren't keeping a keen eye on the DVD developments that you're being so kind as to keep us updated on...  So muchas gracias senor!  Much appreciated.  Keep it up!

Now give me some more classic pictures of doofus there!  

[Scott]

Damn Virex, I've been duped...erase all knowledge of the PJ DVD at least for now, sounds like a hoax

[Scott]

And in a perfect world this will be called "The Scott & Matt Show" not the other way around, rolls of the tounge better

[Virex]

Some positive news for Dale, and anyone else that was looking forward to (and hasn't yet gotten) Duel:

Right on! I'm going to get me Duel.  
That movie creeped me out as a kid. I have a thing about semi trucks behind me at night from that flick. Non the less, I like it!

Bad news, Dale.  This, from a Universal website:

DUEL has been removed from the August 2003 DVD program Effective 7/24/2003

No Duel for you!

No reason was given for the delay/cancellation.

From today's DVD File update:

"Also, an update on the strange case of Steven Spielberg's Duel. As killer truck fans already know. this one has been announced twice and then pulled at the last minute...only this time, some have snuck through. Originally scheduled for release this week, some retailers received their copies and weren't notified of the delay before it was too late (or decided to sell them anyway), so if you are lucky you may be able to find a copy out their somewhere. According to sources at Universal, this second delay is due to issues surround Spielberg's approval of the set and the transfer, and in any case, the title is not cancelled, just postponed...again. Watch this space for more."

It'll be out eventually.  Universal still sucks.
