If anyone wants to experience a completely horrible cable company check out mediacom.  They specialize in more rural areas.  Typically the cable or internet goes out at least once a week.  Also they are the only 800 number I have ever called and received a busy signal.  Everytime you call about an outage they tell you that there is no outage in your area and that at least three people have to report one before they can come out and do anything...a bit hard to do if you live in a rural area without a lot of people.  For all the comcast haters, you would beg to have comcast over mediacom.  I have both between two different houses and comcast is head and shoulders above mediacom.

Quite lame...especially with all the "women" asking how she fights in the old costume, etc.  I sure bet that "women" are the ones buying up comic books.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US wins the group with England second.

The ref made piss poor calls the entire match...the disallowed goal was just the height of his crappy officiating.

I thought I had read that the BD sets had both the extended and regular versions included, is that the case?  I do think the extended versions are the ones that are regularly shown on ABC Family, if I remember right.  Also, a minor detail, but is the blu ray disc have its "own" packaging, or just included in one big box.  I looked at one of these at Best Buy once, and noticed that it is a pretty thick "binding" on the box...just storage/shelf space into consideration with these, so I was wondering.

I'll take a look at the set tonight and let you know.  As I remember it is a big fold out set with some loose paper materials with it.  I can't remember exactly how the discs are held, but I don't think it has an extra slip case for the discs.

The box is about two inches wide.  All three discs are in one case (for Blu Ray...standard def has four discs).  The case is your basic quad fold case to hold the discs.  There is also a separate hard back book and some other paper materials.  Two of the discs are the bonus material and the first disc contains the theatrical release and the extended cut.

Just curious, but has anyone here picked up either of the Harry Potter "Ultimate Edition" blu rays released so far?  I believed the next two (Prisoner of Azkaban/Goblet of Fire) are due later this year as well.  Although we are trying to cut back on our DVD/BD buying overall, we are trying to upgrade our favorite movies so that we have them on blu ray as well.  I'm debating whether to go this route and picking these up as they come out, or to get the five pack (which is significantly cheaper overall).  The "Ultimate Editions" do look pretty spiffy though, although they look as if they would take up a lot of shelf space.  Just curious if anyone here has picked one (or both) up.

I picked both of them up, but have not had the chance to watch them yet.  As I understand it, the cuts are similar to whichever channel keeps running them on TV.  Essentially, it is the movie with the deleted scenes edited back into the movie.  If you remember the original Sorcerer's Stone DVD (where you had to jump through hoops to get the deleted scenes), one of them had Harry's aunt making eggs and each on she opened had a Hogwarts letter in it.

As for a deluxe box set, as with Star Wars, I'm sure there will be continuous rereleases...however, these deluxe sets do contain a lot of extras...I'd have to check my sets to see exactly what each one has.

I don't think there has ever been a case where a Presidential pardon was overturned...it is Constitutional power granted to the President.  With a full pardon of crimes, Jack couldn't go to jail.  It would be similar to Ford's pardon of Nixon.  Nixon had not been convicted and was pardoned and therefore never prosecuted.

Maybe it is a true depiction of Jaina Solo...she got a bit more of Han's DNA than Leia's.
