Hey, I did apologize, didn't I?

Hey, gotta tap into my inner Hung Solow, crappy, sexually-oriented bag of "jokes" every once in a while. . .

Thanks, OCB.  Hope my "questionable language" hasn't offended any of you fellas.

White played like absolute Horse Manure, that was awful.  Sorry Virex...

Yeah, he sucked, two interceptions.  And the offensive line sucked a little bit too, way too much pressure on him.  I was thinking, in the second half, they almost should have put in their second-string QB to get some momentum going.  How crazy would that have been, to bench a Heisman winner?

Defense can't do it all, guys. . .

hey at least Texas still sucks though right???

That almost implies that there have been times where Texas hasn't sucked, which, of course, is not the case.

We'll always have 65-13.  We'll always have 65-13. . .

Well, I can go ahead and scratch Rebel Strike off my GameCube want list.  Picked it up just now at a Wal-Mart, who price-matched* Best Buy for $29.99.



*Yeah, they price-matched it alright, but not without a hassle.  Since the regular price for it at Wal-Mart is $49.99, that's a $20 difference, which apparently is too large a difference for the regular cashiers to do on their own.  So she called over a supervisor or something for a manual override, who, when she saw the Best Buy ad, very nearly refused to do it, due to the kind of-semi-not really confusing ad.  Rebel Strike is pictured in a box along with two Sonic the Hedgehog games.  At the top of the box, above all three games, the print reads "TRIPLE REWARD ZONE POINTS with these 2 SONIC games".  

So the supervisor saw that, and thought that Rebel Strike was only $29.99 if you bought the other two Sonic games (which, incidentally, don't even come out until Thursday).  I told her no--that Rebel Strike has nothing to do with the Sonic games, and after a few anxious moments, she finally caved, due in part, I'm sure, to the line that was growing behind me.  

So, anyway, if any of you are planning to take the Best Buy ad to Wal-Mart to price match, be prepared for maybe a little bit of grief. . .

Well, the way the bowl season has gone for me so far this year, I should probably be rooting for the Tigers. . .

(I do want to honestly say that besides the two Big XII schools who have won their games, the only other team I was going for who wound up winning was. . .  The Minnesota Golden Gophers.  And yes, I was rooting for them simply because they're your team, Scott.  

I love you.   :-* )

There have been rumors about a new Blade Runner disc for, literally, years.  At least two or three.  Apparently, it's tied up in "legal issues".  However, Ridley Scott is a "friend of the format" (see Alien Quadrilogy, Black Hawk Down (3-disc set), Gladiator, Legend: Ultimate Edition, etc.), and something will come out eventually, and it will be great, the be-all, end-all, for Blade Runner fans, I'm sure.

Well, I just found a new site for DVD news, DavisDVD, and they had just put up a tidbit about the holdup with the Blade Runner set just recently:

Quote
We may finally have some reason why Warner Bros' long-planned Blade Runner Special Edition has been put on an indefinite delay. An article in this past Sunday's New York Times Art and Leisure section focused on why some classic films can be delayed from ever reaching the DVD market. In some cases, it may be something as simple as film elements being stored in mismarked film cans. Other times, it may be that because of constant corporate mergers and turnarounds, many studios aren't always sure of what they own. Often, however, it's money squabbles and legal hurdles which can put the kibosh on new disc releases. And unfortunately, this seems to be the case with Ridley Scott's futuristic masterpiece.

The ownership issues with Blade Runner are long and confusing, so I'll spare you the ugly details. But, in a nutshell, Warner Bros only has theatrical and home video distribution rights for the 1992 "Director's Cut" version of the film. The elaborate three-disc special edition plans on including this version, as well as the original 1982 cut along with a new definitive Director's Recut. But producer Jerry Perenchio, who apparently controls the original negative, hasn't signed off on any of this. And until some agreement can be reached, we'll just have to keep waiting for our ultimate BR box set.

Looks like "Jerry Perenchio" is the dickhead to blame for the three-year delay here. . .   :-\

I feel a little silly about letting this thread lapse onto the second page, and so, while I'm not listening to anything right now, really, here's what I've been listening to lately:



Loose Fur, self-titled  (a side project of Jeff Tweedy's)



Rather embarrassed over this one, given the amount of teasing I've put on Creed Boy about his favorite band.  However, in my defense, I will say that I got this for Christmas a week ago, so it's still new to me.

I will say, though, as I've mentioned before--they only used like 58 minutes of space on Disc 2, and that's including the extra four minutes or whatever between "Bee Girl" and "4/20/02".  No reason they couldn't have fit at least another two or three tracks onto it.  Oh well.

(Semi-interesting Virex trivia:  I was on the phone, on hold, for the Rockline radio show in '93 with Jeff Ament and Eddie Vedder, waiting to ask my question, when they did "Bee Girl".  Unfortunately, they ran out of time before they could get to me, but it was neat to be able to hear those guys on my phone, several seconds before I heard the same stuff on my radio I had on. . .)

  • Star Wars: Rebel Strike: Rogue Squadron III
      Waiting for either a price drop, or for more details to come in about the "Rogue Squadron Trilogy", which has been rumored to be coming to the XBox sometime next fall, perhaps to coincide with the DVD release.

Well, I was just checking out another forum, where someone posted Best Buy's ad for next week, and it looks like they're going to have Rebel Strike on sale for $29.99.

Right on time. . .   8)

OK, first Duel is coming, then its not & now it is (sorta)

Duel has never been "cancelled"--just delayed several times in a row.  Why, exactly, I don't know, but no, never cancelled.

& now Blade Runner is up in the air! WTF!

Is that Blade Runner the theater release? If it is, look out!  ;D

Also, what do we know about Battlestar Galactica?

'Cylon-Head' Packaging Is Going Away

Well, personally, I don't know sh!t about Battlestar Galactica, but I saw something about this at The Digital Bits just a little bit ago, myself.  It sounds like they're just changing over the packaging from the big-ass molded robot head case, which apparently is quite unwieldy, to a more-traditional type of packaging.  I'm sure the content will be exactly the same.

So what DVDs are you guys looking forward to for the new year so far?

Here's my preliminary "to buy" list:

  • Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete First Season (1/13)
  • American Splendor (2/3)
  • Ed Wood: Collector's Edition (2/3)
  • Lost in Translation (2/3)
  • Planet of the Apes: 35th Anniversary Edition (widescreen) (2/3)
  • Rain Man: Special Edition (2/3)
  • Chappelle's Show: Season One: Uncensored (2/17-24)
  • School of Rock (3/2)
  • Schindler's List (widescreen) (3/9)
And those are just the officially-announced titles.   :o  And man, February 2nd!  That's a huge day, for some reason.  Usually the few months after Christmas are dead as far as big releases go, but there's some decent stuff ahead.  

Of the ones that will be coming this year, but don't have dates as of yet:

  • Aladdin: Platinum Series
  • Blade Runner (may not be coming, actually)
  • Duel (if it makes it this time)
  • Harry Potter and the Blah, Blah, Blah
  • The Iron Giant: Special Edition
  • Kill Bill, Volume One
  • Kill Bill, Volume Two
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Two-Disc Theatrical Version
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Four-Disc Extended Edition
  • The Matrix Revolutions
  • Seinfeld: The Complete First Season
  • The Simpsons: The Complete Fourth Season
  • Spider-Man 2
  • Star Wars Trilogy
  • Star Wars: Clone Wars
  • Titanic: Special Edition
  • Top Gun: Special Edition
  • The Untouchables: Special Edition
Good thing many of these will be coming out in the latter half of the year--will give me plenty of time to sell some plasma and donate some sperm in order to be able to afford them all. . .   :-\

What about you guys?

Ugh.  Kansas State is down 21-7 to The Ohio State University, heading into halftime.  

Man. . .  Pretty much every team I've wanted to win (or, needed to win, in Michigan's case) has lost so far.

The Big XII has sucked, sucked, sucked up to this point.  Only Texas Tech and Nebraska have won, while Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma State have lost, and Kansas State is losing.  Hopefully OU will be able to redeem themselves (and the conference) on Sunday night--should be a good game.

Hats off to USC--they certainly deserve their share of the championship.  They looked great against Michigan last night.  

Oh, and go Tulsa Golden Hurricane tomorrow against Georgia Tech.  You always want your state teams to win.
