Since the three things on my BR wish list, The Final Cut, the theatrical version and Charlie's documentary are all (I assume) in the 4 disk set (I bought the new Director's Cut last fall), I'll be getting that one and spending the $40 I save on something else. To be honest, I would even be...

Without checking with anyone - I can guarantee that Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, Shrek 3 (are we seeing a pattern here?) and Ratatouille will all be released in or very close to November. And I will be buying all 4. Guaranteed.

If you have a Car Toys store in your part of the world, they did a great job installing a unit in my wife's leased Honda CR-V. All of the wires are hidden (except for the small bundle that pops out to plug into the Sirius unit using the windsheild mount), so it'a all very clean - plus it can all...

We need to remember that for all practical purposes, Pixar *is* Disney now with respect to feature animation, and Lasseter could have ordered this to be a 10 disk set if he had really wanted to. I think the reason this set is a little lacking - OK, very lacking - in extras is that during the...

I've gone back and forth with this, and I decided today to pass. When these were originally announced I was excited because of the new documentary and because I had given away my theatrical releases as the EEs became available. Now that I've had some time to think about it - and becuase I'm...

Sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to Bryan's Superman and all, but wasn't something like this considered a DVD "extra" back in the day. I'll need to check my X-Men, Daredevil and Spiderman DVDs again to make sure, but I seem to remember a history of the film's superhero being included...

I'll be getting the 2-disk. Even though the Potter extras are normally pretty soft, I like the idea of consistency with the other films by having the two diskers across the shelf. Also - I'll bet that by the time the next Potter film hits the DVD market, the single disk version will be the only...

My satellite radio can beat up your satellite radio! At the end of the day it's a Coke vs. Pepsi choice as to which service is "better", because at their core they are both bubbly, brown sugar water. I happen to be a Sirius subscriber, specifically because of Howard, but I can honestly say if...

This is second hand in that I didn't hear it but my wife did and told me, but in response to Mike's post above, the movie reviewer on the Channel 8 news here in Dallas said something along the lines of Serenity's script was the one the Star War's prequels should have had (and he really liked the...

I liked DareDevil and I really wanted to like this movie, but found it "meh". Luckily, because of the bad press, I rented first and never bought. I will be using the same strategy next week. Sure - renting negates the first week savings if I don decide to buy, but unless there are some big...

Although Warner Home Video has been the biggest user of this marketing ploy, King Kong is ripe for a single/two disk simultaneous release that many films are using now. I can easily see them putting out a one disk version with a couple of extras AND a 2 disk with the second disk primarily the...

I'll ditto that ditto. I had seen the trailer a year of so before the US release and thought it looked interesting with gorgeous animation. I enjoy some anime (Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangilon, FLCL - the basics), but am a fan of animation overall - not just one genre. I thought it was OK on...

I'm willing to bet that the graphic novel is a shrunk down "DVD size so that it fits in the nice slipcover" version like they did with Constatine. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I highly doubt that it's the full size version that you buy for $17. As such, it's not going to raise costs...

We are starting to see this more and more with (from my collection) Phantom of the Opera, Lemony Snicket, Constatine and the upcoming Batman Begins. My personal gripe with this is the main retailers discount the single disk version release week, but not the double disk. So far, however, I've...

Great news! It looks like the podcasts will be included along with a number of new commentaries, plus the mini-series and other goodies (including a better cover) all for about the same price as Best Buy will be charging. No wonder info is so hard to get on the Best Buy exclusive. I already...

Damn! Now that I've been through this thread I'm even more confused. Since the on-line Best Buy price is $49.99, I fully expect it to be closer to $39.99 first week since they never reveal their first week prices until much closer to release. I have to believe Best Buy is getting special...

I'm going to get the one with the Blockbuster logo on on the cover! First version is strictly a rental for me. I'll watch it a couple of times then buy the SE as soon as its available, which will most probably come in only one cover flavor. But, all four do look really nice.

I think I represent a fairly large percentage of people in that I don't got to the theater as much as I use to, and only buy a fraction of DVDs each month as I did in the beginning. I own a nice home theater system. Some on this board would laugh at it, but for about $1500 I carefully put...

The Iron Giant SE will be available R1 on September 7th. The R3 has been available for almost a year. Like so many others, it's just the Ultimate Toy Box for me. To add insult to injury, I bought the 2 disk set when "Ultimate" came out of cost considerations at the time. A year of so later, I...

I'm excited to see the price, about US$80 for 10 disks. Fingers crossed that will translate into $60-$65 or so street first week, factor in what I will get selling back the three Matrix films and Animatrix, and I could end up getting the set for $40-$50. Although I didn't have as much love...

I can't speak to Pocohontas, but Lilo & Stitch:SE was delayed because Disney just fired and shut down the Walt Disney Feature Animation - Florida group who was responsible for Lilo, along with Mulan, Brother Bear and parts of Lion King. WDFA-F created a wealth of DVD ready extras when they...

The reason you see so much celebrity news concentrated on Bennifer is that there is a market for it. As such there are a bunch of people quietly renting Gigli to see the two people they read about in their People, US and Entertainment Weekly magazines every week and watch on ET and Access...

Lance - The three episodes in question were unaired in the U.S. I know they were shown in the U.K. and some, if not all were probably shown in other parts of the world as well.

For any Farscape fans that haven't heard, AICN, ING and Dark Horizons are all reporting that the Farscape production offices are open, the sets are being reassembled and they are in pre-production for a 4 hour mini-series to bring closure to the Farscape saga. I doubt every hanging thread...

All movie studios listen up: NEW RULE If more nudity is available on the fullscreen version of a DVD release, you shall forego crappy extras (i.e. HBO First Look, tie-in merchandise pieces, boring commentaries with lots of long pauses) in favor of including both OAR and fullscreen version...

My guess, since the invitation to the big event was a plaque from "Lord Vader" with a little Darth Vader statue on it (and Vader does not exist during the Clone Wars), will be an announcement of a 4 disk set much like the recent Indy release with the newer SEs of the first three films and an...

Technically, the movie was beautiful and Ang Lee and company did a great job. Sure, the Hulk's CGI was a little cartoony in places, but if you are going to buy into the idea of a green giant that smashes stuff, that should be the least of your concerns. My problem with the movie was the...

100% in agreement with Jerrerson... where is Andy Serkis on the cast commentary? He was the best thing about the "Long and Short of It" 'making of', so I know he could hold his own in the mix. Seriously, John Noble is listed, and as wonderful as his Denethor may turn out to be (and I think it...

When Harry Knowls did his first reports from the LotR set a couple of years ago, he did mention a gag reel that they played at the wrap party - so one does exist. The question is - considering this was a "guy" set and they were all essentially family, how rude did the "gags" get and how far is...

Thanks everyone. It's also been several years since the series and I'm sure the music director's tastes and style has changed as well. I just can't help but hear "Tank!" in my head whenever I think of anything Bebop - but I am more than willing to give the film and the score every chance. I...
