    If it helps, the monster is actually actor Doug Jones, who is not a monster at all, but one of the nicest human beings on the planet. I've met him before and he's awesome. ;)

    Weekly RoundUp 3-13-2018

    To be totally fair, the deep dish place we use does cut it, but there's so much stuff loaded on there that it sometimes just needs a bit more work. Also, since there is so much stuff on each piece, sometimes you don't always need a whole piece. I've eaten like two and a half before and felt...

    Weekly RoundUp 3-13-2018

    That's a question for Dad. It's just a knife to cut pizza, so far as I understand it,but it was his order, not mine, so I don't really know. Typically we do take-out pizza about once a month or so from a local deep-dish Chicago style place, but I'm not sure what prompted him to order the knife...

    UPS arrived with my copy of Shape of Water and Dad's pizza knife about 4:30. So, all's well that ends well.

    Well, my Shape of Water shipped, finally, but with UPS instead of the post office for whatever reason. It is being packaged with a knife my dad ordered the other day, even though my order has been standing since February and his was much more recent.

    Last week, I had The Breadwinner and Lady Bird coming, which I ordered at different times, but they were packaged together. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Amazon did the same thing for you with Shape of Water and Good Fight. Glad to hear you got the shipping notice. Mine has yet to be...

    Weekly RoundUp 3-13-2018

    So this is a little bit unusual. Normally, if I have a movie pre-ordered with Amazon for Tuesday delivery, by the time I wake up on Monday morning, I find that it had shipped overnight. This is almost always the case, including each of the last two weeks in a row that I've had new titles...

    My guess is that CBS doesn't see a downside to releasing discs of this now. It has served its purpose to drive people to their streaming service, and now, they get more money by releasing it for everyone else. Plus, because they have renewed the show for a second season about to debut, they...

    Ah, yes. That explains it. The Blade Runner 2049 that was on sale a couple weeks ago was, indeed, the standard Blu-ray+DVD combo. I haven't really paid much attention to the pricing structure for UHD because I am the only one in my household who would care at all to go to UHD, which means we...

    Weekly RoundUp 3-13-2018

    As noted by Mike in the Roundup for that week, Best Buy had Blade Runner 2049 on sale for $14.99 a week or two ago, and Amazon briefly matched it near the end of that week. This is what, two months or less since it came to disc? I would call that a pretty quick turnaround.. I also remember...

    Starting overpriced before falling dramatically in short order seems to be par for the course for a Warner Bros. title now, doesnt't it? Fantastic Beasts, The Lego Movie and Blade Runner 2049 were all also $24.99 on release week. I completely agree that this is an unfortunate trend that I...

    Thank you, Mike! :) I've got The Shape of Water coming from Amazon this week and am very excited to revisit it, as I loved it in the theater but only went once on Christmas Eve. I'd love to get A Trip to the Moon as well, but $34.99 is too rich for my blood right now. Maybe later. I'm not a...
