I second that emotion!

If anyone wants to read a message into that, they're probably right.

This release will be available as a rental online and at many Blockbuster stores, so all of us who want to see it without rewarding New Line for their shoddy work can avoid buying.

Death to PG-13! And now death to DVNR too!!

I find that sort of comment ill-advised. And stated before even seeing the disc. No studio sets out to produce "shoddy" work.

so much for that idea.

might need a more direct approach.

I'm perfectly happy to take a wait-and-see approach.

There's probably enough of us die-hards who are going to buy this on release week that a wait-and-see approach is probably a good idea. I'll certainly report my impressions as soon as my copy comes in and I get a chance to watch it.

Love the film, but I'll probably check it out via Netflix before buying. I find myself doing that more and more these days...

Does Netflix stock new BD releases quickly (and w/ a decent inventory)? I started using BlockBuster a couple months back and find them rather lacking when it comes to new BD releases so far.

When someone figures out what Netflix does with Blu-ray, the next thing they should do is corner the stock market because they're a friggin' genius!

My experience with Netflix and BD has been up and down. I have one of the lowest plans, the two a month plan, and I got 'Rambo' and 'The Ruins' rather quickly. However, I still haven't gotten 'Jumper' yet, which has sat at the top of my queue for well over a month now. Currently, they're shipping 'The Enforcer' BD all the way from Butte, MT (I live in VA BTW!) because 'Jumper' and 'The Bank Job' were Long Waits.

In all honesty, neither Blockbuster nor Netflix is clearly better than the other. As far as Dark City is concerned, snagging a catalog rental is infinitely easy than snagging a new release in my experience.
