After slowing down for a long time, I've jumped into Blu-ray and am sort of back to buying movies.

I wish I had Blu-ray.

Anyone planning on picking up Blue Harvest this week? Seems that Best Buy has the Best Deal at $12.99 for the bare bones edition, unless you want all that extra crap for $25. I'm almost positive that this episode will be included in a Family Guy boxed set and those are generally $25 for an entire season when they first come out, so I'm going to wait it out.

I'm glad I don't (at least not yet) Still waiting for the war to end to see who will arise as the victor. Also - I'm not ready to replace my entire library at $20+ bucks a pop.

My local Costco already has them on their shelves, so someone made a booboo. I looked at it, but I'm not a huge fan of Family Guy, at least not enough that I expected to enjoy it for $14.

Any particular reason you seem to think so? I haven't heard anything like this.

I am going to pick up the SE version. ;D

I picked up a few movies over the last week...

12 Blue Ray movies. I'm guessing $300 + ? I'm so not ready to start on a new format. :-\

I had a lot of store credit at the Movie Trading Company - I spent surprisingly little out of pocket on all that.

Yeah, they're a buy-sell-trade type place. I think it's owned by Blockbuster though.

My decision to hold off on picking up the Simpsons movie paid off. Last week it was on sale at Target for $10.

That's my stance on almost everything that is a new release. Having paid $20 for the X-men movies was foolish, but I enjoyed them. Finding them regularly for $7-10 brand new is too frustrating. Plus I get the benefit of deciding whether I even really want the movie at all. Used at blockbuster for $6.99 after a period of time is so much more appealing, especially now that most basic movies don't even have an insert with them anyway.

That's what I've been doing since 04 with almost all new movies that have come out that I'm interested in. I wait a month or two and I usually get 4 for $30 or I wait a few more months and get them for $5 or half of that, plus they all come with lifetime guarantees.
-
true. remember when Tuesdays used to be a lot of fun for shopping, though?
-
Picked up:
Young Guns Special Edition
Airplane "Don't Call Me Shirley" Edition
Desperado Special Edition
$5 each at Walmart. ;D
-
Well, I was going to buy 'No Country For Old Men' because there was a sign at Target that said it came with a $5 gift card (making the purchase $10), but then at the register the lady told me the sign was a typo, that I'd have to buy two $15 + tax movies to get a $5 gift card.
I realized these brand new single-disc releases aren't worth $6.50, so I put it back and went home.

Been wanting to get this for a while, but just ordered it off Amazon. I've seen the original theatrical version several times, but this'll be my first time with the director's cut.

The director's cut is brilliant.

So did anyone see the Lost Boys 2 trailer on the I Am Legend DVD?

Anybody picking up Cloverfield tomorrow? I LOVED the flick in the theatre, but the experience will definatley be lost on a small tv. I'll pick it up simply because of my OCD. Good rental though for those of you who haven't seen it. :)

I REALLY wanted the FYE/Suncoast version with the ultra cool packaging but the closest mall with an FYE is 90 minutes away. So I settled for the Best Buy version with the bonus disk. It was cheap ($15.99) so you get more bang for your buck I guess. But man, these store exclusives are really pissing me off. Release one damn version and get it over with. >:(
Also, for completionist sake, I picked up Juno last Tuesday.

I stopped by Suncoast and I really didn't care for the Cloverfield tin at $22 with the standard disc, so I got the $16 version at BB with the bonus disc.

Good news - Cloverfield will be out on Blu-ray on June 3rd! ;D

The even better news is that There Will be Blood comes out on Blu-ray the same day. :D
And Sleepy Hollow is coming back out.
I picked up Golden Compass today...
I also put in a pre-order for Rambo.
I'm pushing 100 movies already. :-X
-
That's crazy. If I didn't spend all my free time playing video games, I'd probably be there too. As it is, I rarely find the time to watch the two dozens Blu-rays I already have.
-
Broke through 100 today.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Wp9Lp0ZyL._SS500_.jpg)
I've also got pre-orders in for Rambo, Dark City DC, The Proposition, Cloverfield, and There Will be Blood.

Was that even in theaters? Doesn't look like it.
I don't really buy as many DVDs as I used to but here's my $30 haul from last week:
AVP Requiem
The Bourne Ultimatum
Rush Hour 3
Sweeny Todd

Good flick....On sale? I've been wanting to finish off that "trilogy", but I refuse to pay more than $10 per DVD.
Even though most of these aren't "08 DVDs", I went a bit nuts since finding this thread again last week:
The Alamo
Bridge to Terabithia
The Crow: Wicked Prayer
The Golden Compass
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Knocked Up
Meet the Spartans
Rambo (07)
Semi-Pro
Superman II: Richard Donner Cut

Not on sale, but I got it for a respectable $9.99.

You guys should check out www.half.com - works with your eBay account and you could probably get a copy of Army of Darkness for about $6.00 shipped.

Anyone pick up Gotham Knight today?
-
I did... just the basic $13 version, not the 2-disc set though. :)
-
The Crow: Wicked Prayer
You paid money for that film? The Crow is one of my favorite films but I'd be hard pressed to name another franchise that fell that far into the gutter. I watched it, once, on cable but I won't even watch it again.
I had the new animated Batman feature in my hands today but passed. I also had the new collector edition of Begins in my hand but also passed. I'll probably get the animated film before the week is out, though.

I got the 2-disc set. Target has it cheapest, $19.99. Good luck finding it though.

Anyone pick up Gotham Knight today?
I plan on grabbing it tomorrow when we stop by Target, but haven't decided on which version. Is there a big reason to grab the 2-disc over the regular release? I usually grab 2 disc version of my favorite movies, when possible, but kind of take it on a case by case basis on these sort of sets.

It was buy 2 get 3 free. I couldn't find anything better for my final selection. I've never seen it and I think this is the first movie that EF has been in since T2 so I thought I'd give it a shot. Haven't watched it yet though, but thanks for letting me know it sucks ass.

Well it's worth it alone if you love Batman: The Animated Series like I do. The bonus disc has some sort of story about the creation and evolution of Batman, a feature on Gotham and its heroes/villains/citizens and 4 of Bruce Timm's favorite episodes of Batman:TAS. Haven't gotten to watch it yet but I plan on doing so soon.

I just saw that in the review over at IGN, it sounds like the special features are pretty spiffy overall (10 out of 10 from IGN I believe).

Transformers DVD w/Tranforming Megatron Case (http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=9800)
I'm glad I went the Best Buy Route and didn't get the Optimus case at Target as I'd be compelled to buy this one to go with it.

Just saw some more rumors/pics of the Indiana Jones DVD release(s) over at TheRaider.net (http://www.theraider.net/news/fullstory_merchandise.php?id=878). I think this is for an overseas release, but the set with the Crystal Skull replica does look pretty spiffy.

I don't usually buy those box sets but can see myself picking this one up.

Even though I'm sure it'll just be a small, plastic bauble, I'm a sucker for those types of boxed sets. I'd buy it.
I don't know if I'd buy a boxed set of all 4. I already bought the "Complete" series set of 3 films...

I see that Starship Troopers 3 is coming out tomorrow. Has anyone even seen ST2 ??? I heard that movie sucked, but it obvioulsy must have made some dough to warrent another sequel.

I haven't seen the second film. I've seen a couple clips from it and it didn't look all that good. Not sure how this one is. I know that just having Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) in it again wasn't really enough of a draw to make me want to run out and buy it.
I really loved the first film so eventually I ought to track down 2 and then this one and watch them. Matter of fact, I don't even own the first film on DVD yet... Should probably fixt that some time.

Starship troopers was a lot of fun, but I think it's stretching the boundaries a bit to call it a film.....:)

It's a pretty safe bet to say that a movie that goes straight to video usually sucks.
As for the 1st film, that one kicked ass.
-
I don't always agree with that. The last two Stargate movies that went straight to DVD were pretty good. I'd be happy having Fanboys come directly to DVD as long as they use the cancer plot that we previewed at CIV last year.

Depends on the franchise I guess. You can check this (http://www.watch-movies.net/s/starship_troopers.html) place out & see if it's any good.

Starship Troopers 2 was god awful. There were boobs in it, though, so... but yeah, if you pick it up, don't expect a sequel to Starship Troopers - instead, just think of a movie, filmed in a hotel, using a few Starship Troopers props (guns, helmets) and nothing more. Don't expect bugs, don't expect landscape, don't expect anything at all... because you won't get anything but really, really dark and close quarters shots of people destroying their scripts.
On that note, I can't wait to pick up Starship Troopers 3 for about $5... I love terrible movies, so long as I go into it knowing it's going to super-suck.

I completely agree...I picked up Starship Troopers 2 in a 2 for 1 deal with the first one. I couldn't have been more disappointed. I am either going to rent the new one, or see if it shows up On Demand.

There is something really fun about watching a movie that you know is going to suck. It makes it evenmore fun to laugh at it in a MST3K kind of way.

Nice. But didn't they do a huge set like this a few years ago, only it came with a bust or something? I forget. This one reminds me of that huge Alien set they did that came in the Alien head as the holder.
That's impressive, though, 24-inches long for the ship? I'm a sucker for those collector type items but I don't think I'd look to get something like this. I didn't like the two sequels well enough!
The nicest premium sets I've ever purchased have been the the Fellowship and Return of the King LOTR sets and the Di Vinci Code set with the Codex. I'm still upset that I never bought the Minas Morgul companion piece to go along with that set.
On the other hand, the most disappointing premium set I bought was Order of the Phoenix with the Death Eater mask...cheap.

Yep, it came with a bust.

Just to have the Nebuchadnezzar would be cool, yeah it looks like a fair size so around the 24" mark like you said.

Ah, that's what I was thinking on the Matrix.
You know what other set I just thought of that was insane, but very cool, was the I, Robot set with the Sonny head. The Japanese market really knows how to do a DVD release right.

Picked up Season 11 of South Park today too.
Also I noticed Wal-Mart put up a huge mid-aisle display box with all 6 Star Wars movies, with the "Limited Edition: You can only get them from September to December 2006!" versions of the OT. $13 each, I almost snagged the OT discs but remembered that the original versions weren't enhanced for 16x9.

I'm definatley going to pick up Iron Man this week. Love that movie.

Agreed. Looking forward to picking it up on Bluray. That in addition to the Dark Knight, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Clone Wars, and a couple of others have my movie budget pretty full for the rest of the year.
-
Same here on the Iron Man Blu-ray.
I also ordered (on Blu) Shrek the Third, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Thing. The real kicker is 2 weeks from now when Mongol, Casino, Indiana Jones, Eastern Promises, Poltergeist, and War Inc all come out on the same day. :-[

I'm definatley going to pick up Iron Man this week. Love that movie.

I can't stand 2 movie DVDs for some reason despite the deal.
Me too. Seems too cheep.

Getting Ironman for $13.99 tomorrow at Circuit City. Not biting on a PS3 until the price comes down some more. Not even sure how I'd manage the transistion from buying DVDs to Bluray when that time comes for me - let alone having to rebuy a small chunk of my collection. :-\
-
Definitely planning on picking up Iron Man tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on when I get to the store. On a side note, how many of you opt for the 2 disk editions of these movies - or do you stick to the cheaper single disk ones. For movies like this (Iron Man, Indy, etc.) I usually go for the deluxe editions, but while looking at the ads from the paper this weekend, my wife asked me why I wouldn't just get that single versions and if the extras were worth the extra $7-$10. Does anyone opt for the single (or cheaper) releases?
-
Depends on the film and what those extras are. Some of the recent releases have just had the digital copy but the rest of the content was almost identical to the cheaper, single disk release. Those really aren't worth it to me.
Now, Iron Man, Batman, probably Indy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars...I'll being buying the deluxe releases of those as they're almost a collectible to me. Smaller films, like Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which also comes out tomorrow), I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on extras for them as I just want the movie. I probably won't buy deluxe editions, if offered, of Hancock, Wanted or the Hellboy film either.
Then there are the deluxe, deluxe releases like the Iron Man and Indy sets with the Sideshow pieces in them or the Lord of the Rings sets with the Weta pieces. Those I rarely buy but will sometimes. I bought all three of the LoTR sets and I'm thinking about the Indy set. One of the coolest ones was the Da Vinci Code release with the working cryptex in it. Worst one I bought was the last Harry Potter film with the Death Eater mask. It looked good in the store so I bought it but it wasn't that nice once you got it open.
E...
-
Unless the extra is just a crappy digital copy, I usually opt for the Special Editions. It's weird, because I usually don't even bother watching the second discs. I just like having it.
-
I'll go for the nice one if it has something worthwhile that isn't on the other one - to me that means deleted scenes or alternate cuts of the film. With Blu-ray though, most of the time all the extras are included since there's so much space on the discs.
-
Picked up the Target Exclusive Iron Man 2 Disc today.

I didn't see it in the ad but my Best Buy had an exclusive lithograph with purchase of the special edition of the film. Nice looking. I didn't pick it up, though.

I plan on grabbing Iron Man today as well. I usually pick up our DVDs at Target, but I think I'd rather have a "normal" case instead of the spiffy Mark III mask that Target has for the deluxe version, so I may hit Best Buy.
-
So does when do you think we'll see the first Indy "4 Pack" on Blu-Ray? I'm thinking of waiting until that unannounced date to pick up Indy 4 in any format.
-
Next year is the 20th anniversary of Last Crusade, so maybe next summer or Xmas?
-
Picked up the 2-disc Iron Man at WM yesterday, came with a free comic. Also picked up the 3 disc Forgetting Sarah Marshall set.
-
I bought the Iron Man set today. I bought it at Target.

Picked up the 2-disc Iron Man at WM yesterday, came with a free comic. Also picked up the 3 disc Forgetting Sarah Marshall set.
That doesn't strike me as a movie worth lavishing 3 discs on--with what did they fill the other 2?--but I guess every movie gets a Super Special Edition these days.

No idea (haven't had time to watch it yet) but apparently one of the discs has an unrated cut of the film on it, and I think the 3rd disc is a Digital Copy. I'll report back this weekend after I've opened it.
-
Just curious, but do we know of all the store exclusives that will be offered with the Indy DVD next Tuesday? I remember seeing the Crystal Skull pack (Best Buy?), but I couldn't remember if there were any others or not. It seems like there are always several with movies like this.
-
Yes, Best Buy in the US has the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Ltd Ed Gift Set (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8918852&st=Indiana+Jones&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=1885294). Lucky bastards! :'(
Up here in Canada, our Best Buy has a comic & Futureshop has the steelbook... whoopdidoo! ::)
-
Yeah, I thought maybe the Targets and Wal-Marts would have their own exclusives as well (as they usually do with Star Wars, comic movies, etc.), but I hadn't heard anything so far. We usually just grab our DVDs at Target, since they are usually the cheapest by far around here (at least that is reasonably close) - but I just thought I'd double check any exclusives before we trekked out next week.
-
I'm not even sure I'm going to pick the movie up.
-
Do people really want all that extra stuff? All I ever really want is the movie.
-
Do people really want all that extra stuff? All I ever really want is the movie.
Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way, but if its a "freebie" I'll usually go with the one I like the most, if it isn't too much of a pain to get.
-
It's an expensive week coming up for blu-ray. :-[
I just put in an order for
American Gangster
Eastern Promises
Indiana Jones KOTCS
Mongol
And I'm passing on War Inc., Casino, and Poltergeist for now.
-
Picked up KOTCS about an hour ago... the 2 disc set of course. ::)
-
What I typically do is get the 1-disc (for most movies I will never touch the extras) or hold out for a loss-leader sale where I can get the Special Edition for around the same price as the regular (that's how I picked up Lord of War, for example).
Only for favorite or "event" movies like LOTR, SW, Kingdom of Heaven, etc. do I bother with the loaded editions at full price. For KOTCS I'll hold out for a holiday sale until I can get the 1-disc for $10 or so.
-
Borders is having a sale on Halloween-type dvds tomorrow :)
-
Single disc Indy for me today. Got totally burnt out after disc 1 of Ironman and I know that I'll only watch the other disc once - once I get around to setting aside the time.
-
I picked up KOTCS on Blu-ray.
-
Netflixs dropped off a nice new shiny KOTCS disc today.
-
I picked up the Best Buy collector set. It's a nice piece.
E...
-
I went with the single disc after contemplating.
-
Picked up the Target exclusive KOTCS with the book-style packaging. It's very nice. :)
-
I'm not sure what happened... but Amazon had Die Hard on Blu-ray for $6.95 just now. I got an order in, and was going to post it here, but about a minute after I put in the order, I checked the page again to get the link, and the price was back to $25.95.
My pending order still has $6.95 on it though. ;D
-
I didn't pick anything up today, but I did see the "new" versions of the OT and PT on the shelves at a local Target ... one week earlier than they're supposed to be.
-
Picked up Twighlight Zone: The Movie at Best Buy for $6.99. Always loved the flick(s) since I was a kid. Finally a proud owner.

Has anyone on here discovered Redbox dvd rental machines yet? They've been around a while, but we just got them in our town. Very cool...swipe your debit card, pick a movie, machine spits it out. $1.00 a day, and the best part is you can return the disc to ANY Redbox location. The discs have a chip on them so they're identified with your account and the machines are networked...at least that's how I assume it works.
-
We have Red Box machines around my area. I know that the Wegmans grocery stores have them in my city, not sure if they're anywhere else. My buddy swears by them, he picks up movies on the way home from work all the time from his store.
E...
-
I just wish they did Blu-rays. Maybe they'll come out with Blu-Box next.
-
I pre-ordered TDK. I'm scared it might get sold-out in store.

A buddy of mine uses that thing all the time. One time we were on our way home from somewhere and he had to stop off and drop a movie off that his girlfriend had rented. He asked me to run in drop it off.
There were 3 people in line, and you can't just put it in... you have to push some buttons first, so I had to wait.
It took me over 20 minutes to return the movie.
Right there I swore never to use that thing.

I pre-ordered TDK. I'm scared it might get sold-out in store.

I heard they're only making 10,000 copies of The Dark Knight DVD and it's exclusive to K-Mart and it's fullscreen only.
NO SALE, WARNER BROS!!!!

What's up with the break on release dates? Saw plenty of Kungfu Panda out today and saw plenty of both SW Trilogies out a week early. What happened to Tuesdays?
-
Kung Fu Panda was scheduled for tomorrow anyway but I saw it at Target today as well. The SW sets broke the street date at Target by almost a week in some places. I'm not exactly sure what's going on lately.
Wish they'd broken Tuesday's street date on the Clone Wars movie, I'd be watching it right now! ;D

I had KFP on my list as a weird Friday release - I'm not sure where I got it from, but it caught my eye the other day when I went to see what was coming out. I saw the DVD at every store I went into yesterday, but there was no sign of the Blu-ray yet. So, I think it was released already.
-
I noticed that Kung Fu Panda was out everywhere here on Saturday already as well. It wasn't even an "ooops" either, as Target had a big front display set up by the checkout lanes and everything. I also noticed the SW sets out early at our local Target stores. Its too bad we already have the movies (or several versions) as the packaging is kind of nifty. I noticed in this week's Target ad that they are having a 5 pack of the Harry Potter movies for around $35. Pretty nice deal for someone who hasn't gotten them (although the picture in the ad was fullscreen, so I don't know if they have both versions or not).
-
The more hardcore DVD buyers (Rob and Matt) probably already know this, but deepdiscountdvd's sale is currently ongoing. Previous years it was only 20%, this time it's 25% off (with free shipping). I placed an order on Saturday for the Batman: The complete Animated series (just over $54), Mask of the Phantasm and a few Godzilla movies. Unfortunately, the animated Batman ones are out of stock, but the sale price will still apply once they restock, whenever that may be.
The sales lasts until November 23rd, so I'm going to place another order for movies that come out in the next few weeks - Kung Fu Panda, Hellboy 2 and Wall-E - that I want to pick up.
DVDTALK and USATODAY work for codes and I'm sure they're a bunch of others also.

Anybody buying Clone Wars today? I really hated the "movie" but it's Star Wars so I must have it for my DVD collection. :-\
I do enjoy the weekly shows on Cartoon Network except for last weeks episode.

Sometimes **** comes out on days other than Tuesday. Such is the case of Kung Fu Panda (or, as the kids say, "KFP"). For example, the Spider-Man DVD was originally released on a Friday back in 2002. Shrek was another non-Tuesday release. For future example, the worst album ever recorded will be released two Sundays from now, instead of two Tuesdays from now.
In the case of the Star Wars trilogies, it's just lazy stockboys who don't give a **** about keeping a "street date" for something that was originally released three and four years ago and has already been repackaged and resold several times since then.
-

This was the exact reason why I picked it up today. Plus I need it if when ( ::)) I get the seasons on DVD.
Went witht he best buy metal version.
I picked this one up as well and have a question for you: Did your Best Buy price the tin set at $51.99? I paid $22.99 but thought that was ridiculous for a 2 disc DVD.
-
I went ahead and ordered Kung Fu Panda and Hellboy II from Deep Discount with the sale.
Band of Brothers on Blu-ray is coming from Amazon, and I can't wait.
Also, if anyone buys the Kung Fu Panda DVD and watches the Secrets of the Furious Five, it was created by the GG side of the studio I work for, and everyone is very proud of how it came out.
EDIT: Turns out our guys only did the full CG parts with the students - the majority of it was done elsewhere. Either way, everyone is still proud of how it turned out.

Thanks for the tip Mikey. I picked up The Long Goodbye and Forgotten Silver for under $15. Not a bad deal at all.
I had Clone Wars in my hand at Target today but after thinking about it for a little while I decided to pass on it. I really didn't like the 'movie' at all, and I honestly haven't been that impressed with the show either. I was playing Gears of War II last Friday and lost track of the time and ending up missing the episode. I didn't really feel like I missed a whole lot and didn't really have any desire to go back and watch it online. I think that is as good of a place as any for me to stop watching. I decided if I'm not going to watch the show there wasn't anypoint in picking up the movie. $25 saved is always nice too.
-
For future example, the worst most anticipated album ever recorded will be released two Sundays from now, instead of two Tuesdays from now.
I can fix that for you.
And the Clone wars was 22.99

And I picked up the Target Blu-Ray version of Clone Wars. Includes a graphic novel.

No, we're referring to the Axl Rose album.

I went ahead and ordered this week's new releases with the sale (which for me was KFP and Hellboy II). I would have ordered Band of Brothers on Blu-ray for $41 but it had already shipped from Amazon.
-
Too bad we can't use the coupon for upcoming releases...
Is Hellboy II worthy of a blind purchase?
-

yes
-

Is Hellboy II worthy of a blind purchase?
Yes it is. It's a shame this opened a week before The Dark Knight. More people would have seen HB, and it just got overshadowed.
-
Is Hellboy II worthy of a blind purchase?
Totally. I enjoyed every minute of it. I even caved and bought the 3-disc set and I vowed not to buy anymore expensive discs after Ironman (I still haven't found time to get to that second disc)
-
Too bad we can't use the coupon for upcoming releases...
Is Hellboy II worthy of a blind purchase?
I loved it - mostly for the bizarre environments and creatures. After Pan's Labyrinth, Del Toro said something about wanting to make an entire movie that took place in the labyrinth, and this had that sort of feel.
If the sale lasts until next week... I might need to cancel my Wall-E / Southland Tales preorder from Amazon and get them from Deep discount. There's also Tropic Thunder, Mirrormask, Lucky Number Slevin, and Paris, je t'aime coming out on blu-ray...
-
The sale ends on the 23rd, so ordering Wall-E with the discount shouldn't be a problem (although you might run into the out of stock scenario). I'll end up placing three orders in total:
Order #1 - Batman: The Complete Animated Series, Mask of the Phantasm, Rodan / War of the Gargantuans, All Monsters Attack and Terror of Mechogodzilla
Order #2 - Kung Fu Panda / Furious Five and Hellboy II
Order #3 - Wall-E
Anything else worth getting with the Wall-E order next week? Tropic Thunder worth a blind buy? How about Forgetting Sarah Marshall? I was always interested in seeing that one, but after seeing the pic of Kirsten Bell having acrobatic sex in the latest issue of Playboy, my interest has risen more. :P
-
Just picked up Wall-E from Target. Forgot about the free seedling thingy. Didn't Circuit City have a Rubick's cube or something? Oh well.
-
Does streaming movies count? We netflixed the King of Kong, a fist full of Quarters to the xBox. Great documentary. Can't recommend it enough.
-
We picked up Wall-E last week, and just got a chance to watch it over the weekend. This is one that we didn't make it to in the theaters this year - and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I think it might be one of my favorites of the Pixar movies.
-
Also, if anyone buys the Kung Fu Panda DVD and watches the Secrets of the Furious Five, it was created by the GG side of the studio I work for, and everyone is very proud of how it came out.

My kids and I watched the Secrets of the Furious Five last night. Very well done! I personally like the animation style better with the students than what was done for the individual characters.

Good news indeed! ;D

I picked up the 3-Disk Prince Caspian yesterday, for $30. I think the blu-ray was cheaper... :-X
-
I saw The Dark Knight at a local coles store. it was the single disc version..was kinda surprised to see it considering it shouldnt be out till next tuesday! If they had the Blu-ray I would have bought it but they did not so they dont get my money.
-
Is it just me or does it seem like this year, the last 2 or 3 months to be specific, we've seen a lot of DVDs break the release date? The new Star Wars sets jumped the gun at Target, Kun Fu Panda had an odd release date anyway but I found it early. The boxed set of "Charmed" came out early at my Target and now you've spotted the Dark Knight 5 days early.
I don't remember ever finding a DVD early till this year and now I've seen at least 3 and heard of more. I'm starting to think the stores are doing it on purpose to generate foot traffic in the bad economy.

Circuit City has an exclusive Batman logo journal.

I'm still trying to figure out where to pick this DVD up tomorrow. I usually like to go to Target, but I guess I'm just not a big fan of the mask packaging necessarily (takes up too much room), and I do want the deluxe edition (which is what it comes with there). If it has the "normal" case inside, then that would be fine. I ended up getting Iron Man and Transformers at Best Buy for the same reason. Its cool and all, but I just don't have the room for all that extra stuff. Wal-Mart's the closest drive, so maybe I'll check that out (is it the single disc that comes with the comic and coin though?). This is one movie that I'd like to have the "deluxe version" of - although I've tried to be more judicious when picking up the extra loaded versions lately, making sure I'd actually get use out of the extra $7 (or more) it costs.
-
A little birdy told me that Santa might be bringing me a PS3 for Christmas so I'm debating if TDK should be my first BR purchase or not. :-\
-
It doesn't look like the Walmart exclusive with the comic and coin is the 2-disk special edition. That's listed separately on their website plus the cover artwork is different. The regular release has Batman in front of the building with the bat symbol buring above him.
The special edition has Batman on the Batpod on the slipcase cover and Joker on the case cover.
E...
-
Yeah based on the amount of 2 disc DVDs I've bought over the last 3 months, none of these exclusives will be included with the 2 disc.
HOWEVER, I read a review of the DVD that said the extras are all crap and they basically put out regular DVD's as an afterthought to Blu-Ray. I've also heard rumblings of a "ultimate award winning edition" DVD coming out later next year...

Nothing original about today's acquisition, but I picked up The Dark Knight on blu-ray this morning.

Picked up the WM exclusive coin set. The 2 disc was $25 and the extras were lacking and lame. Why would I want IMAX scenes if I'm mainly going to be watching on a SDTV?

Yes, but those always come out a month before the sequel. ;)

I just grabbed a copy at Best Buy. They took that Papa John's coupon even though I was buying the blu-ray. So it was $24 after tax. I can live with that.

I wanted the get TDK 2 disk set at Target, but all they had was the mask packaging, so I wound up ordering from Amazon. Way to exclusive yourself out of a sale Target.

I was just going to ask if anyone had picked it up at Target. Like I mentioned earlier, we normally grab our DVDs there (they are almost always cheaper on opening week than WM, etc.), but I don't necessarily want the giant mask packaging either. I was wondering if there was a "normal" case inside that packaging, or if it was all something different like Iron Man, Hulk, Transformers, etc. Looks like I might be stopping by WM or Best Buy today as well.

The TDK and Iron Man packaging are just lame.
What was lame about the Iron Man version? Can't quite remember the lameness.

ahh yes....Lame indeed. I went with the standard 2 disc version at BB for Ironman - still haven't found the time to watching the second disc.
So I'm hearing that TDK special edition is pretty lame and the bonus features are pretty much worthless. Would it be best to just stick with the single disc then?
-
Go with the WM exclusive single disc version with the Two-Face coin. Just because the coin is so awesome.
-
I finally stopped at Target today to look at the sets. The extras on the 2-disk set look okay, the animated shorts are on there with some other stuff. I don't like the mask case. I did like the Iron Man case but this one didn't blow me away.
I don't think I'm going to buy it, though. I gonna hit WM tomorrow night and if they still have the set with the coin I'll probably get that instead.

Holy sh!t--TV on DVD has exploded over the past couple of years, most definitely. I think the release of the first Simpsons set back in 2001 really got the ball rolling there. Once Mr. Belvedere: The Complete First Season comes out, I'm seriously re-evaluating the hobby.
Well, it was nice knowing you, Digital Video Disc.

Stopped at WM tonight. Couldn't bring myself to pay $20 for the DVD, a comic, and a coin. Going to wait for Hollywood Video's BOGO sale on used DVDs.
Mr. Belvedere sucked ass btw - no knock to you Matt so be nice.

After a lot of consideration, I just ended up going with the bare bones version of Dark Knight as well (the $15 one). I usually spend the extra to get the "deluxe version" of movies like this (Star Wars, Indy, Spidey, etc.) - but looking over the extras, and being a little tighter with the budget lately, made me decide that the extras weren't worth the extra $8 (at Target). When it came down to it, I just wanted the free digital download, but when I really thought about it - I don't really need that either. I always try to pick up the versions that have that, thinking that "someday" we'll get a newer iPod that plays video - but I know that's a ways off, and even then, how often am I going to look at that tiny screen to watch a movie as long as the Dark Knight. If I want to watch it on the computer or a portable player, I can just use the DVD. Plus, eventually I'd like to upgrade to blu-ray (if/when we can afford it), so I thought the re-buy wouldn't sting quite as badly if I got the cheaper version now.
As a side note, the Dark Knight was selling like crazy at Target last night when I picked up our copy (and one for my Dad for Christmas). It seems like most people were grabbing the single disc, which I suppose appeals more to casual buyers anyways.
-
I was able to get the last copy of TDK they had at Wal Mart...it was fullscreen though, I guess I should have preordered :-\
