Received my LOTR box today

Wow, already?!  That was fast.  Do you recall how early on you ordered it?

Same box as the regular boxset in the stores, right?  Good fit, and all that jazz, I assume?

[Scott]

I believe the Spirit World alerted me to the presence of the Box a day before the DVD was released...so like some time in December

The official site has a little feature up on the upcoming Clone Wars: Volume 1 DVD.  There are also images of the chapter selections, front and back cover art, and disc art.  Looking forward to having these in DVD.

Made me go check the DVD forums. Lots of people up your way (and Canada) seem to have recieved them...


Gah, luuuucky.

Here's the link for checking order status.

Picked up Sealab 2021 Season 2, Brak Show season 1 and The Grudge today. Great stuff. Also picked up a few other flicks, like Phone and The September Tapes - both pretty good flicks.

Phone

Is this actually worth watching? I've had a boot sitting here for months that a friend forced on me, and I've ignored it completely.

A few details on Closer from DVDAnswers.com. I'm betting we DON'T get the one deleted scene we all want. 

Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment has released early details on Closer which stars Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. The disc will be available to own from the 29th March this year, and should set you back somewhere in the region of $28.95. I'm afraid Columbia has yet to reveal the full details on disc specs, although we can confirm that the disc will carry an anamorphic widescreen transfer, English Dolby Digital 5.1 track and preview trailers. Further details on extra material should be revealed shortly. We'll bring you the official artwork shortly too, but for now, here's a single menu shot:

Picked up Sealab Volume Two last night and made it through the 1st disc already.

Bizzaro, I love you, Bizzaro, I love you, Bizzaro.

Such a great episode!

Looks like season 1 of The Greatest American Hero comes out on DVD tomorrow.  Wow does that ever take me back to my childhood.  Almost missed it looking over the Sunday ads when I saw a pic of the dude's logo with his red tights.  I don't recall the actor's name, but does anyone else remember this series??  Please don't tell me I'm the only dork here.  I think the guy was a bit of a clumsy superhero if I recall.

I'll be picking up The Greatest American Hero. Yeah, thats back in 1981. William Katt is his name and red tights is his game! 



What a klutz!    Great theme song.

Greatest American Hero Theme

[Brian]

I remember that series as well, and remember watching it fairly regularly when I was a kid.  I haven't seen it since then though, and I'm guessing it probably hasn't aged real well.  Might be kind of neat for nostalgia's sake though.  I think the actor's name is William Katt, and I believe he even screen-tested for the role of Luke Skywalker .

Oops...what Dale said above

[DSJ™]

Yepper, William Katt did screen test for Luke. Gotta love that hair! 
You can see it here: SW Screen Tests and other actors.
