I went and snapped up a quartet of the Target copies last night while they were on sale for $13 (Christmas gifts, not ebay items :)). I couldn't believe how much Target's price was for the single-disc set: $40! Are they serious?? Does anyone know if a 2-disc might be released sometime down the...
If that Blu-ray transfer was indeed new and approved by Ridley Scott himself, then I would like to offer the phone number of my optometrist to Sir Ridley.
According to Deadline Hollywood, "G.I. Joe" dropped 18% on Saturday. Never a good sign.
Edit: that should be "16%", not 18.

To quote Borat in regards to the lovely ladies posted...wa wa wee wa! :)
BSG this week for me, along with The Wrestler. Tempted on Benjamin Button. $15 is a nice price on any Criterion Blu-ray.
Actually, I have a better idea. Bay and Spielberg could take that ticket money and spend it on grammar lessons for the legions of people who have clogged forums since Wednesday defending Bay and the film. While this doesn't apply to everyone who has done so, some of the grammar use and spelling...
Actually, I think he meant 'jump' from last Friday. According to Box Office Mojo, 'Away We Go' did $249,185 the previous Friday. It doubled its screen run yesterday.
One of the many things I hate about Comcast, and there are many, is that I have to subscribe to the non-HD channels in order to get their flimsy HD selection (they haven't added a new HD channel in my area in months). As for the digital cable box being forced on subscribers, I hope it will...
I would say that Night at the Museum 2 will take the Box office next weekend. It's the only new family film in town (until 'Up' arrives). Terminator: Salvation will do fine, but not enough to be on the top spot. I'd say $80 mil for the holiday weekend on Night at the Museum 2 and $50 for...
The studios would still only use about 2/3 the space. ;) In regards to compression artifacts, 50gigs should be more than enough to eliminate that issue.
Trust me, Bill. If Sony can make some extra bucks off of Da Vinci Code, they'll include the extended cut on DVD with Angels and Demons this fall. They'd be foolish not to. As for myself, playing catch up this week: the first two X-Men films and that new edition of No Country For Old Men, all...
The PQ is definitely on the softer side, but I think that might be more the result of the cinematography more than anything else. Haven't watched the film all the way through on BD. The last time I saw it was in 2000 when it first hit DVD. My one question for all of these releases is this...
The religious stuff was pretty weak and, thankfully, forgettable (and I can easily see where people might take issue with it). I did, however, get a laugh at the still of Brian on the news with the words "WORSE THAN HITLER" underneath. It was silly and tasteless, but it's "Family Guy" we're...
I will always remember what he said at the Oscars the year he won for "A Passage To India": Thank God 'Amadeus' wasn't up for this award. Sad news. But at least we have some remarkable music to remember him by. Thanks, MJ, and Godspeed.
Hi Troy, Yeah, just checked with Best Buy online and all the stores in my area had it in stock. I should have added to my original post that they did get their info from the Fox PR department. Any PR department confirmation should be always be taken shaken, not stirred (and if not that way...
Excellent point. I enjoy the show for the mindless laugh that it is. But I have to agree that recently it has been pretty stale. Seth, time to start huffin' the green again yo.
Hi Ron, The Matrix streets on the 31st. And if I am not mistaken, that will be the official tenth anniversary date of the film's release. Also, for those who may be looking to get the Bond BD exclusive set at Best Buy this week (the one with QOS, Man W/Golden Gun and License To Kill)...
'In Bruges' won an Oscar? I know it was nominated for a screenplay award, but those went to 'Milk' (original) and 'Slumdog Millionaire' (adapted). Great film. Would love to see it hit BD myself.
I would love to own Wizard of Oz, Woodstock and Gone With the Wind, but when I saw those prices, I thought otherwise. The sets look nice (I have Casablanca, which is really nice), but consumers should really have the option of buying the title as a disc-only edition. If I can find these titles...
