    Warner announces new Blu-ray Triple Features for November 2012

    I like that some of these sets seem more cohesive than typical double and triple features.

    2012 Emmy Nominees

    For me, the lack of both Fringe and Community is just silly.

    Amazing Spider-Man : July 3rd, 2012

    I suspect this is less being used as an indicator of intelligence and more being used that they are being closer to the original comic character representation in not ditching the glasses.

    Paramount Announces Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection Fall 2012

    Reading this, I'm guessing it just means you're getting the regular US theatrical cut.. right?

    Up In The Air Blu-ray $7.99 (65% off)

    Great film with a much nicer cover in the custom covers thread. I may have to pick this one up. As I was watching it, it was decent to "just okay", but it's one of those films that stuck with me for days afterwards. I would find my mind drifting to the ideas in the film.

    Star Trek DS9 on Blu-Ray -- Remain Ever Hopeful Thread

    I'm impressed. I assumed it was video. I didn't think Paramount had the foresight to maintain them on film. It'd be very spendy, but they could re-create the effects. They might not immediately recoup the investment, but I think they might in the long haul.

    Star Trek DS9 on Blu-Ray -- Remain Ever Hopeful Thread

    Was Deep Space Nine shot on film? I thought that DS9 and VOY were on video? If so I'm not sure what they can do.

    Monsters University (Monsters Inc 2)

    I thought the teaser was fun, and Monsters is one of my favorite Pixar films. I'm certainly going to check it out in theaters.

    Comics: The Weekly Rundown (was Heroes Con 2006)

    I have the first 3 Valiant issues waiting for me at home. Can't wait to dig into them this weekend. Got the 1:50 voice variant on X-O Manowar 1, and the 1:20 Original Cover Homage variant for Harbinger. Would continue to get them, but the pre-order prices on the variants has gone nuts.

    Pixar's "Brave" in 2D & 3D up for pre-order at Amazon.com!!!

    Doh! You're right. 26.99 is after coupon. It would be nice if Amazon price matched this one @ DD $19.99 http://www.deepdiscount.com/bluray/BRAVE-2D-3D

    Pixar's "Brave" in 2D & 3D up for pre-order at Amazon.com!!!

    It's 26.99 now... think the coupon still applies. The coupon expires on July 19.

    Pixar's "Brave" in 2D & 3D up for pre-order at Amazon.com!!!

    My understanding is that the coupon sticks with you through any price drops, and that they generally stop offering the coupon after a short time. I typically end up going to Best Buy to get the metal case that usually comes with the pre-order, though.

    Star Trek sequel scheduled for May 17, 2013 Release

    Saw this a couple of days ago within an article speculating that he could have been teasing. I'm sure no matter who he's playing, I'll be checking this one out in IMAX.

    Falling Skies (TNT) season 2 premieres 6/17/2012

    You are likely right. Time can certainly shift my perspective on such things. I do find myself wondering if anyone reads these things out loud before they shoot them. If they could fix the dialogue, the acting may not seem so bad, and the show would be infinitely more watchable. As it...

    You have to go to SC to get to Charleston. Perhaps even the aliens aren't willing to do this.

    Breaking News: Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (DVD/Blu-ray)

    Pretty box. I'm a little bit disappointed to double-dip Crystal Skull, but I'll live.

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    I do wish my "true" IMAX theater still did film. I do understand why one would want to say that the large-screen venues in Digital are not IMAX, but they are pretty close to pure. The ones I can't abide are the semimax theaters that are built into existing auditoriums and do not have true IMAX...

    American Horror Story (FX) - season 1 thread

    I'm not sure if "Completely Unrelated" is accurate. At minimum actors will reappear (albeit as different characters). I do wonder if any themes or ideas will get called back from season 1. I'm interested to see how they pull it off.

    A few words about...™ The First Nudie Musical -- in Blu-ray

    This was one of the movies that was on late night HBO or Cinemax back before they started creating their own "soft adult" content. I taped it surrepticiously, and remember it being fun. Just wondering if that amusement at 12yo translates to $30 at 36yo.

    Site that Lists "True 3D" Films?

    I can't speak to such a site, but wikipedia does a good job here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_3D_films Column 1 for "Camera System" typically references whether the film was shot or converted.

    New Bond Film: Skyfall

    I won't get out to see ASM until tonight or later this week, but if it's the same one that's been at IMAX for the last few cycles, it's alright. The one I have seen has Bond being interviewed through word association. It's clear that he's "activated" with the last word. I'm honestly happy to...

    Falling Skies (TNT) season 2 premieres 6/17/2012

    I'm happy for the success of the show, but watching this season has been painful for me. I was moderately interested in the show at the start of last season, but felt they really hit their stride with the last few episodes. I have had a lot of complaints with the dialogue and the acting this...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ As Good as it Gets -- in Blu-ray

    If RAH says good to go, I feel better about the $35 I'll drop on it. I'd rather have this title from Sony for $15, but what can you do? :)

    Amazon Gold Box Deal Day: The Twilight Zone Collection Blu-ray $179.99 (55% off)

    EXCLUSIVE HTF ANNOUNCEMENT: Twilight Time May/June Releases (You will want to read this!)

    Is there a review for AS GOOD AS IT GETS? I know I'm being the bad forum guy by not scouring for it - but this is a must own title if it's worth the upgrade... and I'm being sketchy at work on HTF :)

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I wish that they would renumber from 1. Since many of the DVD titles are out of print, and I didn't buy them while they were available, it'd be nice to be able to start fresh on a blu-ray collection.

    Do you find yourself skipping SD titles and 'waiting' for Blu-Ray?

    I stopped buying DVDs for the most part a year or so before starting into Blu-Ray. I knew then what is occurring now... I have such a preference for watching on Blu-Ray that most of my DVDs go totally unwatched.

    Blockbuster vs. Netflix

    With the recent distribution snafu and the threat of a price increase on Blu-Ray users, I'm considering a switch from Netflix to Blockbuster. I also like the idea that I can return films to the local store and do a rental there when I'm done. Can anyone comment on the differences between the...

    Branagh Hamlet on Blu Ray?

    I waited around for this on DVD until I stopped buying DVD in favor of HD. I figure It'll be on Blu Ray just in time for Blu Ray 2
