The producers have said they wrote and shot only one ending. The "alternate" endings on the Kimmel post-finale show are strictly for laughs.

Interesting thought from last night: if the Island is the "cork" that prevents evil/MiB from being unleashed into the world, how is the Sideways timeline different because the Island has been destroyed? Has MiB been unleashed, or is the war between Jacob/MiB simply carrying on elsewhere? Right...

There were so many times I almost bought "Days of Heaven" . . . so glad I held out! More Malick on Blu-ray is always good news.

Quote: Well, in the interest of full disclosure, the movie is rated PG-13, and there is a shot of a deceased man's head and hand in separate pickle jars. I know that my wife at least is sensitive to these things, so I have to remember all the "bad"/disturbing stuff from movies I want to share...

Agreed about the dogs. Really forced humor there. And the "Squirrel!" bit was funny the first time, in the trailer. I've seen the movie four times now (once on BD), and it's still a great movie, but the middle drags (for me) to a far worse degree than any other Pixar film I've seen. I never...

The unknown in all of that is whether your Best Buy will allow price matching and a coupon. Anecdotal experience from several SlickDeal members indicates their stores allow only one or the other. Definitely YMMV, and props to you if you can get it to work -- be sure to tell us how you did it!

Transformers 2. I guess the more correct abbreviation is T2, but then folks might be getting it confused with another, better movie. ;)

The Amazon price is now $19.99 - $10 with code snowhite = $9.99 + tax & shipping (if applicable).

Don't forget to pick up some Hefty plates, cups, or baggies when you go out to pick up "Snow White" tomorrow. There's a $5 rebate! I'm trying to envision the marketing connection now: "Only the best disposable dinnerware for the hard-working little men in your home!" "Bags strong enough to...

Sorry guys, I probably would've linked to the more recent thread if I had found it. Didn't think to look across the entire forum

Time to resurrect this thread. The new trailer is out: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/thelovelybones/ I'm genuinely excited for this one now.

The CG effects were done in SD, so Warner/HBO would have to pony up some coin to redo those shots for Blu-ray.

I'm pretty sure the Sky Captain listing is in error. That disc was one of Paramount's first Blu-rays, later shelved when the company went HD-DVD exclusive, then reissued in June 2008 when they returned to Blu-ray. The original disc is a BD-25 with lossy DTS and DD soundtracks, and for a second...

You may have better luck at a B&M location. I went to one yesterday morning and picked up both For All Mankind and The Seventh Seal for 50% off, plus used the member coupons for each. Total for both came to $33.xx after tax. Even better: Seventh Seal wasn't in stock, so they ordered it for me...

One disadvantage to this approach is you always have to wait around for the newest firmware revision to be cracked and posted on the Web. For instance, it's been over two weeks since beta firmware 31-0620 was posted on OPPO's site, yet there's still no "region-free" variant. This may be...
