2007 DVD Releases Thread

[Angry Ewok]

I remember read about 7 years ago that Ridley Scott "spoiled" the big question that was left to the viewers to speculate on.

Which kind of ruins the whole point, doesn't it? I reject his "spoiler" and choose to take my own route... trying not to spoil that part of the movie, myself.

I've never seen Blade Runner either. I want to but it's never on TV neither is Robocop.

If only there was a place where you could pay like $2 or $3 to borrow it for a few days.

true...if a person could make an idea like that work, they'd have a real blockbuster of a business on their hands.

Someone could make a billion dollars with that idea.  And I'm not talking gross, I'm talking net.

Flicks by mail, for a nominal fee each month?  What a concept.  I'm surprised nobody's capitalized on this yet.

And how! Let's say a fellow, one like our friend Artoo here, gets the urge to watch a movie. Gallery after gallery of films right there for his perusal.

It's a win-win--just think of the rewards for both entrepreneur and customer!

[Angry Ewok]

I'll invest $300 into this idea, but I think every store should have, like, a back room for porno. Oh, and snacks up front... sort of like a real theater.

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.

Pity there's not an easier way to rent...

Ironically, the last DVD I ever rented was Blade Runner, back in the Spring of '99.

I kept it for a month without watching it--because why would I take it back, without even watching it?  That's just a waste of money, right?

Finally watched it, and took it back, and haven't been back to Blockbuster since--no doubt due to the massive fine I have (and probably still have).

I am a ******* genius.

When I was a kid my dad would rent VHS movies for us from the grocery store.  We rented, and summarily lost a copy of Child's Play 3 when I was maybe 12 or so. 

We didn't rent for a long time.

Several months later, we tried to rent a movie and they said my dad owed them over $1500.00 in late fees for that one tape.  My dad offered them the $20 that the movie cost to replace.

We never rented from them again.

I remember renting VHS tapes in the late 80's/early 90's and there would always be a label on the tape/case stating that there would be a several hundred dollar fine if the tape was lost or damaged...ppfft.

I'm also not sure what they did with all of their previously viewed tapes as I never saw them on sale for dirt cheap like the DVD's are now at Hollywood Video/Blockbuster etc.

[Artoo]

Blah, I don't like renting videos. If I don't like the movie it'd be a waste of a couple bucks.
It'll air some time & all I have to do is record it.

[Nathan]

If I don't like the movie it'd be a waste of a couple bucks.

Huh? So do you not eat out either, because if you don't like the food it'd be a waste of a couple bucks? And I can assume that you never go to movies in the theater.

Everything's a gamble. I mean ... I'm cheap but not that cheap.
