Amazon price for Star Trek 2009 3-disc BD is now down to $19.99.
Not sure why I would want to make the early trip to BB when I can order at Amazon for $3 less at $9.99 (if it were a title I wanted, that is).Originally Posted by Mike Frezon

If you really want to try something fun from them (and don't mind the irreverance and cynicism of it all along w/ their usual dosage of 4-letter words), I'd suggest Dogma instead. I (and my wife) am evangelical protestant, and my wife and I found Dogma to be absolutely hilarious -- and for some, it may stimulate a desire to understand one's faith better. Of course, many of the more devout, conservative Catholics (and many conservative protestants and maybe even many conservatives of all sorts) will likely be thoroughly offended by Dogma. So if you've got a particularly conservative bone in your body (or your wife's), then maybe you'll want to avoid Dogma (and most of their films in general actually).
But do note though that Kevin Smith did *seem* to use to consider himself a devout and thoughtful Catholic (of sorts) at least back when Dogma was made AFAIK, so it's not like he's merely taking cheap shots at somebody else's religion -- well, he's certainly poking fun at certain aspects of the religion, particularly of the more recent touchy feely variety (and also the old follow-w/out-thinking variety as well).

No idea, but $10 for the DVD is not bad. If you later don't want to keep it, maybe you can still sell it (or give it away to a friend or something).Originally Posted by Hollywoodaholic /forum/thread/294930/weekly-roundup-11-17-2009#post_3628464
That's something that I would like to know. I have finally planned on getting a blu player in 2010 and while I plan on being more selective with blu titles, I think that this is one that I would like to have, but in the meantime would like the dvd. I might just get the dvd ($9.99 at Amazon is pretty good) and worry about blu next year or so if no combo exists.
I went with the Amazon $10 because I’m not sure when I’ll get a player. Most likely later next year and once I do I’ll look for bargain blu discs, which by then, Trek might be one of them. And I’ll give the dvd to my dad most likely. I also ordered the combo of Up since that seemed like a decent deal for both.No idea, but $10 for the DVD is not bad.

Nope. Not even sure what you're talking about. Combo deal on Star Trek (2009) and what? A pre-order?Originally Posted by Man-Fai Wong
Mike, didn't you go for the BB combo deal from a couple weeks back?
I think Dogma is probably the most accessible to a non-Kevin Smith fan (though I'll echo Man's 'warnings' about it). Clerks seems like a logical starting point but it might scare you off since it's a very inexpensively made movie ($27,000) by kids who didn't know what they were really doing.Originally Posted by Mike Frezon
Thanks for the remarks on the Smith films. I was actually given a copy of Dogma recently. Maybe THAT'S where I'll start after all.
