Two things:

First of all, this needs more updating (page 4?!?!  Come on, guys).

And secondly, it needs more color:


Halle (and a straw) Berry


Tyra Banks

More later. . .

. . .looks like Velvet Revolver may never take off.  That dumb a$$ Weiland got arrested again.  This time DUI, under the influence of narcotics, hitting parked cars and fleeing the scene. . .

Are you kidding me?

Hell, that's vintage G N' R behavior, my friend.  Maybe the old Guns guys are putting Scott Weiland through some hazing or something, to get him up to speed on the G N' R way of things. . .    

Their album will be out sometime next year, and I'm looking forward to it much more than Axl's project.  I guess there's a joke going around that says we'll see real Chinese democracy before that album comes out. . .

As for the DVDs--I'll get 'em when I get 'em.  No rush.  I've got them all on VHS, which I hardly ever watch, anyway--and these things are basically the exact same stuff.

Oh, and that reminds me!  I heard last night, that Geffen released the DVDs without Axl's "permission", so now Axl's record company is suing Geffen.  Apparently, there was a (crappy) Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits CD that was scheduled for a November 25 release, which has now been delayed due to the lawsuit.

Sounds a bit silly, but then again, this is Axl we're talking about. . .

More as I find it.

Thanxs, for clearing things up, i appreciate it.  I was a tad bit upset.  But it's all good now.  This is for you Virex  

You know--you're lucky.  I had a lengthy, scathing reply all typed out and ready to go, which would have made you wet your pants, but because my internet connection's a bit wonky, I lost it all.  I'm not in the mood to type it again.

Plus, with this reply, I thought you sounded a bit young, so I checked your profile for the first time and it showed that you're just sixteen.

So, consider yourself spared.  

You're sixteen--so go out and get you some tail, like other kids your age, and quit posting things about the DVDs using words like "officially" when they're coming from places called "Rebelscum" and "The Rumor Mill".

Leave all the sad speculating and complaining to the pathetic individuals like myself.

Sarcastic?  Me?

The hell you say. . .  

. . .so you can see that getting an Xbox is a better decision?  

I'm gonna call bullsh.t on that one.

I've got all three systems, and each of them have their own advantages and disadvantages compared to the others.  Sure, in terms of what it can do, graphics and sound-wise, the XBox is the best out of the three, but the GameCube isn't that far behind, and has got some great exclusive games and is really affordable to boot.

The best decision is buying the system that has the most games that you want to play.  Simple as that.

Okay, folks, here's the deal with the Indiana Jones prices this week:

Best Buy:  "Hot Price" ($44.99)

*There is an exclusive bonus disc at Best Buy, included on-pack with the box set.  Here's what their ad has to say about it:

Own all 3 Indiana Jones movies for the first time on DVD, a 4th bonus DVD Making The Trilogy, PLUS a Best Buy Exclusive 5th DVD Raiders Of The Lost Ark Classic Featurette.  This disc has rarely-seen footage and exclusive scenes featuring the cast and crew of this beloved film. While supplies last.  Minimum 250 per store.  No rainchecks.

People have been reporting that the bonus disc is around ten minutes long.  I have no idea what exactly is on it, or how good (or lame) it is, or if most of the same stuff is covered in the fourth disc in the box, or if this will be available elsewhere in the future.  If you're a big Indy fan, though (as I think a lot of us are), it might be worth tracking down.

Target: Low Price ($45.99)

*Free 12-pack of Dr. Pepper with purchase of the Trilogy

Toys 'R' Us: $49.99

*Don't bother

Circuit City: (reportedly) $49.99

*Don't bother

Wal-Mart:  ?

*I'm assuming that most Wal-Marts will probably beat Best Buy's price of $44.99 by a few cents, so it might be worth checking there if you don't care about Best Buy's bonus disc.

Eckerd: $34.99

*Yes, you read that right:  Eckerd.  (I realize that not everyone has Eckerd stores where they live.)  Now, if you do have Eckerd stores in your area, here's the deal:  They've got the fool-screen version (light brown box) pictured in their ad, and reportedly, that's all they'll be carrying.  So, more than likely, no widescreen (dark brown box) at Eckerd.  However, I would imagine that you could probably take an Eckerd ad to a store that price-matches, like Best Buy or Wal-Mart, and have them price-match Eckerd for $34.99 for you.  Best Buy may or may not do it, since they have the exclusive bonus disc, but who knows.  It's worth a shot.  It's been my experience that Wal-Mart is usually pretty pain-less when it comes to price-matching, too.  I wouldn't think that anyone would give you a problem with price-matching the widescreen version, either.

Fry's: (reportedly) $39.99

*Fry's is an electronics chain in the southwestern states, and I don't have any where I live, so that's all I know.

Costco:  ?

*I don't have any Costcos in my area, either, but apparently they've got some kind of deal going on where if you buy a two-pack of some DVDs, you get a coupon for $10 off the Indy set or something, which would apparently put the Indy set at around $30 or so.  If you've got Costcos where you live, this might be worth checking into--sounds like a decent deal.

Online stores

*After a quick check at DVD Price Search, it looks like the lowest online price for the set right now is right around the $45 mark (this is, of course, not considering any coupons or discounts you may have).  

Deep Discount DVD:  $44.29 - free shipping
Best Buy: $44.99 - free shipping
Buy.com: $44.99 - free shipping
Amazon: $45.49 - free shipping

All for now.

All right.  Here's a pic from Paramount's Indiana Jones DVD event held last weekend.  I'm posting this for no reason other than Alison Doody is an absolute fox.

Thanks, Digital Bits!

But, moving on. . .

Added and linked a bunch more titles for early 2004--check 'em out if you want.  The newly announced Planet of the Apes: 35th Anniversary Edition, coming in February, should be a nice release.

More later. . .
