    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Gone with the Wind -- in Blu-ray

    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...

    Gladiator Blu-ray - release date 09/01/2009 - Read before buying!

    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.

    2009 at the Box Office

    According to Deadline Hollywood, "G.I. Joe" dropped 18% on Saturday. Never a good sign. Edit: that should be "16%", not 18. Edited by Shawn.F - 8/9/2009 at 04:13 pm GMT

    Nothing for me this week, which is good since I just picked up the BSG set.

    Weekly RoundUp 7-28-2009

    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.

    Looks like I'll be holding off until the BSG BD set until the 28th. As always, many thanks for the roundup!

    2009 at the Box Office

    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.

    COMCAST forcing digital cable boxes down suscribers' throats!!! (Merged)

    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...

    2009 at the Box Office

    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...

    Certainly deserves to hit $200 mil domestically. Here's hoping it has legs.

    500 gigabyte discs

    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.

    Weekly RoundUp 4-28-2009

    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...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The World is Not Enough -- in Blu-ray

    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...

    Family Guy Season Seven

    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...

    Maurice Jarre, Oscar-Winning Composer, Dies at 84

    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.

    Goldfinger and World Is Not Enough (Target), Slumdog and the Matrix for me. American In Paris is tempting.

    Weekly RoundUp 3-24-2009

    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...

    *** Official 2009 Warner Chat and Discussion Thread

    How about their plans for Watchmen? In particular, will they release the extended cut right off the bat or are we going to have to wait for that cut?

    Family Guy Season Seven

    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.

    Weekly RoundUp 3-24-2009

    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)...

    Any Shot Of In Bruges On Blu-Ray

    '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.

    Warner: Thank you for the classics on Blu-ray, but.......

    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...

    Circuit City closing all stores -- watch for bargains coming soon

    Here's hoping that a Fry's goes in where the one near my house has been. I'm only more than happy to see Circuit City go. They won't be missed.
