I thought that was standard issue south of the Mason Dixon line?
I picked up the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, Seven Swords, and The Protector this week.
Good stuff.
I also grabbed Training Day and Ferris Bueller's Day off for 4.99 each.
Unless you have a daughter, I doubt any of you saw Cinderella 3 from Disney, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (though it's shameless to charge that much for a 74 minute cartoon - - Baaaaaaah). The biggest surprise was that there's going to be a Little Mermaid 3 as well.
I wasn't surprised when Disney started doing sequels, some of them even made sense. But this is getting ridiculous now. (more ridiculous?)
Kevin, what's the lo' with that Red Dawn DVD? I picked it up from Wal-Mart several years ago, for something like $8... Typical bare-bones bin, of course. Has a new edition been released without my knowing it?

Yeah....even though I know my daughter would have liked it, I skipped it. 20.00 is just too much for a direct to video half-assed sequel to a movie that needed no sequel. I would have gladly bought it for her for 10.
Speaking of ****** animated movies, has anyone seen Open Season?
What a ****fest that was.
Monster Squad coming to DVD (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/8201)
If true, all I can say is - It's about ******* time. I loved this movie when I was a kid. Granted, I've haven't seen it in years and it probably hasn't aged well, but I'm looking forward to picking this up.
I bought Borat yesterday... I'm concerned that an extended version is on the horizon though. This one has 30 minutes of deleted stuff, but from what I understand, they have hours and hours of extra material.

Looking forward to Casino Royale this week, I still have not seen this flick.
Picked up Childern of Men today. My favotate film from last year.

Does the movie get better after the first half hour? I'm up to the part where Clive finds out that 'you know who' is 'you know what'.
Joanna has just finished re-shooting her scenes from the original BLADE RUNNER movie. Joanna is wearing her original outfit (which she kept over from the first production). These new scenes will be part of the upcoming special BLADE RUNNER DVD re-release.
An interesting tid bit for the 25th Anniversary release of Blade Runner.

Warner Home Video will issue a new remastered director's cut of the classic SF movie Blade Runner in September now that it has cleared up rights issues, followed by a theatrical release of a version promised to be truly director Ridley Scott's final cut, Variety reported. Warner's rights to Blade Runner lapsed a year ago, but the studio has since negotiated a long-term license.
The movie has a troubled history. When Scott ran over budget, completion bond guarantors took control of it and made substantial changes before its 1982 theatrical release, adding a voice-over and a happy ending. That version was replaced by the much better-received director's cut in 1992, but Scott has long been unhappy with it, complaining that he was rushed and unable to give it proper attention.
Scott started working on the final cut version in 2000, but that project was shelved by Warner soon after, apparently because the studio couldn't come to terms with Jerry Perenchio over rights issues.
The restored "director's cut" will debut on home video in September and will remain on sale for only four months, after which time it will be placed on moratorium. Blade Runner: Final Cut will arrive in 2007 for a limited 25th-anniversary theatrical run, followed by a special-edition DVD with the three previous versions offered as alternate viewing. Besides the original theatrical version and director's cut, the expanded international theatrical cut will be included. The set will also contain additional bonus materials.

Did you find this at Wal-Mart?? I've been looking for this one for quite some time now with no luck.
And short circuit 2 is some sort of Cinematic masterpiece?
Good luck, they go quick.
I found three after hitting five WM's last week (spent $32 in gas though) and flipped them for $10 a piece at the local pawn shop.
Took the $15 and bought a gold chain with a Nike 'swoosh' charm.
Worthy of a blind purchase?
I just saw a movie that’ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It’s called 300. I don’t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could’ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it’d still rule.
It’s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated **** out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.
The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it’s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, “I need some extra sauce packets” guess what? You’re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.
I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.
TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN’T LIKE:
COOL THING ONE:
HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES
Who gives a **** if the music isn’t historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could’ve used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel’s Pretzel is telling you that you’ll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.
COOL THING TWO:
FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS
Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There’s wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he’s got Rosie O’Donnell on his back.
Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.
NOT SO GOOD THING:
DUDE NUDITY (“DUDE-ITY”)
These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they’re serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.
Any directors reading this – IT’S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.
Can’t someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?
My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I’ve seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.
I picked up 300 today. It's the DVD purchase that I've been looking forward to the most for quite some time now ... and I haven't even seen the film.

Yep, I'll be picking this set up.

I have to get this set. 8)
Speaking of the Flash Gordon DVD, has anyone been able to find it in either Target or Wal-Mart?
I got mine at Wal-Mart. They had probably a dozen or more. It wasn't in their "new release" section, but just tucked in with the rest of the "Fs."
Yesterday I picked up 300 (with free copy of Alexander)

I dont mind upgrading as long as the players are backwards compatible. I am not dumping 800 DVDs and rebuying them all.

I'm with you on that. Then again, maybe that's what VHS junkies said when companies announced they would go DVD only from then on.

Anybody remember House?
Ooooh I forgot that the Collector's Edition of Serenity was released. Thanks!
Circuit City had the HD version of 300 playing on one of their widescreen TV's, this evening... I stopped long enough to confirm for myself that the detail of the HD pretty much puts the DVD to shame. I still don't see myself upgrading any of my DVD's for a very long time, though... I can't imagine a lot of my movies actually improving in terms of transfer, besides films that I really obsess over (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, etc).
Really, do I need Ernest Goes To Jail in HD format?
Ooooh I forgot that the Collector's Edition of Serenity was released. Thanks!
No problem.
I had yet to see Serenity when I picked it up. I recently finished watching all of the episodes of Firefly (first time I ever saw those), so the DVD release couldn't have come at a better time. What a great film and series.

Compatibility
Backward compatibility will be available with all HD DVD players, allowing users to have a single player in their homes to play all types of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs. There is also a hybrid HD DVD format which contains both DVD and HD DVD versions of the same movie on a single disc, providing smoother transition for the studios in terms of publishing movies, and letting consumers with only DVD drives still use the discs. DVD disc replication companies can continue using their current production equipment with only minor alterations when changing over to the format of HD DVD replication. Due to the structure of the single-lens optical head, both red and blue laser diodes can be used in smaller, more compact HD DVD players.

So there you have it.
I picked up Season 3 of The Office today.
I'm ashamed to say that I've never even seen Blade Runner. Sad, I know. :-[
I'm sure it was good for it's time but it's pretty lame.
I remember read about 7 years ago that Ridley Scott "spoiled" the big question that was left to the viewers to speculate on.
I've never seen Blade Runner either. I want to but it's never on TV neither is Robocop.
true...if a person could make an idea like that work, they'd have a real blockbuster of a business on their hands.

If only there was a place where you could pay like $2 or $3 to borrow it for a few days.
This may sound crazy but there is no video store in my town. The nearest blockbuster is towns over and no parking. I dont think i have rented a movie in 5 years.
If I don't like the movie it'd be a waste of a couple bucks.
