I want to be you Doctor.  I hate being in school and not having a job, so many loving movies I need to get. Hopefully this all pays off and i'll just bum rush a online store with a $1,000 order.

Too bad about the Scott Pilgrim cover, I was hoping for the one with just Cera with the guitar and the red background. Eh, whatever. I can't believe the amount of pre-orders you folk are carrying, the accountant in me won't let me give away interest-free loans like that. I usually never pre-order but right now I've got Thin Red Line, Apocalypse Now, and Scott Pilgrim. At some point I'll nab the Alien Anthology, too. This fall is stacked, at least my girlfriend has things she can buy me for Christmas (Videodrome, Seven Samurai, The Exorcist), I'm one of those people who are terrible at coming up with things for people to get them. I did a big Amazon order with my last paycheck of the summer, among other things I did a blind buy of The Baader Meinhof Complex, has anyone else picked this up? Its a phenomenal release and definitely now one of my favorites on the shelf.

MPI is responsible for some awesome discs: Baraka, Becket, Mary and Max, Tell No One, etc. Really looking forward to checking out The Killer Inside Me from them next week. edit: the cover art is hilariously bad though. Look at how smooshed everything is!

The Killer Inside Me looks pretty good, not a stunner by any means but it's solid.

I've got a question for you guys. I've had my Blu-ray player since Christmas and I've only brought one Blu-ray with it, Bullit. I have netflix and have had a bunch of Blu-rays, but I can't decide what ones to buy. Does anyone have a site that has the essential Blu-rays to own or can someone give a list of decent titles?

Honestly just buy movies you like. Think of your favorite movies, go look at the reviews/screencaps, and buy them.

Once you've done that, I think it's safe to say the top 10 titles on your overall rankings are own-worthy. Maybe even top 25. - Ritual movies are a must-buy. Anything you know you'll watch multiple times with friends, or by yourself, are sort of necessary. - Have a personal favorite you're on the fence about, and it got a great Blu-Ray release? Consider getting it. I already own the Back to the Future DVD set, but the sheer enormity of the Blu-Ray set is making me consider a purchase. Same goes if it got a lovely DVD release, or no release at all.

DVDBeaver and Blu-Ray.com are great resources for checking out image quality on a Blu-Ray you're considering purchasing.

They don't charge you until it ships, and you get the lowest price over the course of the preorder. Unless you change your mind about a preorder and forget to cancel before the ship date, there is no downside.

With amazon sometimes you even get free release day shipping (mostly on videogames but still)

Thanks to the GBS thread that scored me the free PRIME account, and this recent discussion, I have preordered a buttload of movies. 18 to be precise.  e: do Amazon preorders ship on release date or before so you receive them on the release date?

There's also a thread in SA-Mart dedicated to shared Prime accounts. If you split it 5 ways, you get a year of Prime for $16 each.

Why in God's name does anyone put a quote from Peter Travers on their box?  I could understand if that was the only positive review, but his name is just like admitting it's bland poo poo.

I am having very mixed feelings right now. On one hand, I am ecstatic because my Se7en blu-ray just arrived here. On the other, I am sad because my 1080p laptop is being repaired, and there isn't an HD TV in my dorm room to watch it in all of its glory. I guess I'll just have to stick with a 420p

Got my copy of Return of the Living Dead in the mail today. Thanks for the heads up by the way. It's the first time I've seen it and it's pretty good. It's still $10 new if anyone is still interested.

I would prefer the cover to be the same as the movie poster, but I'm not that worried about it since i have noticed a lot of movies doing different covers for movies based on what version you buy. For example, Iron Man 2 has different covers for the Bluray+DVD+Digital Copy, Just the Bluray, and just the DVD, plus the Target exclusive. I hardly ever watch or redeem the digital copies so I would probably just pick up the bluray only Scott Pilgrim.

The discs are indeed identical. Amazon UK is the series runtime. Amazon US is the series + two featurettes runtime.

Sporadic posted:Iron Man 2 just dropped to $17.99 on Amazon. Good for the people who got hosed over on the WalMart deal. Worth noting that it's missing all the extra features on disc 2 of the 3 disc set. (Disc 3 is a DVD/Digital Copy). Disc 2 contains: quote:Ultimate Iron Man: The Making of Iron Man 2 (HD) Personally, I really want to see the making of doc, so I'm sticking with the 3-disc version.
