Preorder for the Family Guy Star Wars Trilogy popped up on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044E9JTG?ie=UTF8&tag=evdaisafi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0044E9JTG $27.99 ($9.33 a movie) 2 cents more than buying the two separately.

DVD Beaver has a review up for A Passage to India: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/dvdreviews36/a_passage_to_india_blu-ray.htm It's been out for a while, but I can't recommend it enough. Great film and the usual stunning HD remaster from Sony. doctor thodt posted:So basically, it's just like Sierra Madre. I'm glad to hear that. Did Lowry restore both films? They do drat good work. I think it was a standard remastering. Treasure's camera negative is in beautiful condition from what I've read. Falcon is spotty and has minor nitrate decomposition in a few reels. If you watch the original DVD and the remaster side-by-side, you can see how they fixed some bad quality dupe inserts (like Spade investigating Thursby's murder near the beginning).

I just signed up, and it's probably a little more annoying that you think. I was just going to go ahead and buy two full-priced titles to satisfy my requirements, but for many titles buying two at once triggers a discount, making one not count towards the quota. Buying them separately incurs two S&H charges. I wanted to get Kill Bill 1 and 2, but they're $25 - too cheap to qualify for the quota. It's going to take a little bit of a looking around and making the right picks. Still worth it, but don't expect getting out to be a breeze.

Wait. Where did you see Kill Bill(s) listed? Furthermore, the Disney store offers Ponyo, but you can't choose that as one of the titles in the promotion. What the hell? I have my choice of Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana BDs, FUCKINGHOORAY. So it seems like to satisfy the club requirements, you'd have to buy some box sets, or new releases - nothing else seems to hit the price plateau they want. The Incredibles would help out there, as would Tron (old or new), when they come out.

Are we looking at the same site? I've looked through the Grown-Up section, and searched "Kill" and "Bill", and still don't see it.

For anybody who doesn't have these yet, The Wizard Of Oz and Gone With The Wind (single disc editions) are $14.99 on Amazon. Wizard Of Oz = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00388PK1A?ie=UTF8&tag=evdaisafi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00388PK1A Gone With The Wind = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XF9C54?ie=UTF8&tag=evdaisafi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002XF9C54 Warner did an amazing job with both of them.

I'm not sure if this is the absolute best price or not, but I think it's the best I've seen so far. NewEgg.com has Iron Man 2 on Blu Ray for $21 with free shipping, which makes it about $4 or $5 less than Amazon, plus NewEgg has faster shipping (at least from where I live).

Metropolis T-shirts are going out for those who pre-ordered, got mine today. Not the greatest t-shirts they're printing on but at least they're not Fruit of the Loom or, worse, Gildan. The print is larger than I was expecting too. Can't complain when it cost nothing though.

Just got done with Last of the Mohicans, which was fantastic. I cannot recommend this disc enough. There's also a great 42-minute making of doc (which I'm pretty sure is brand new for this release) in HD.

Both the Oppo BDP-80 and BDP-83 have been discontinued in anticipation of the BDP-93 due around November/December. It will be the same price as the 83.quote:The BDP-93 will have all the functionalities of the 83, plus Blu-ray 3D support (with dual HDMI outputs), Netflix and CinemaNow streaming, wireless-N networking, and an eSATA port.

Thinking about picking up Last of the Mohicans now. Has anybody gotten Thin Red Line yet? It has been getting GLOWING reviews from just about everybody. http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/3385/thethinredline.html http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews37/thin_red_line.htm Plus I love the boxart Criterion has chosen...

quote:The Thin Red Line I do have this movie on VHS (obviously the best format) and got it when it first came out around my mid-high school days. I thought it was strictly OK, but I can't say I really got it. Coming off of the heals of Saving Private Ryan, you can understand why I might feel that way. I was a bit annoyed that it pulled, what I call, an "Apocalypse Now" on me.  "Sure Harrison Ford stars in it. Says right here and his pictures on the back of the box!"I did see it at least twice, but I wasn't really crazy about it. Was I wrong? Tell me why. Don't just send me to that Criterion essay either.

I tend to find that if I didn't like a well-regarded film in high school I was just too dumb then to appreciate it.

William Pahllace posted:Thinking about picking up Last of the Mohicans now. Has anybody gotten Thin Red Line yet? It has been getting GLOWING reviews from just about everybody. The movie itself was good but the story was all over the place. I'm a simple minded person, so I found the story and characters hard to follow. I would like to think I can appreciate a good love story though, I certainly didn't mind it in the Pacific at all. However the flash backs and letters to/from the one soldiers wife were interesting but I didn't really care. It didn't seem to have much of an effect on the story, it was just there. A lot of that was just ehhhh big deal. There were some really good scenes though that weren't just action. I really liked the beginning, and the parts in general leading up to the combat. The whole thing reminded me a lot of the Pacific, but not nearly as good. Granted the Pacific had around 10 hours to tell a story, this only had about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

I've got an extra sealed copy of The Thin Red Line that I'd be willing to trade for The Secret of the Grain. Hit me up if that movie bored the poo poo out of you and you want to get rid of it.

I'm posting this again so apologies in advanced. For the Lip Sync issue I'm seeing on Spartacus Blood and Sand, my player does have the latest firmware so I don't think that's the issue. If anyone plans to watch this soon can you let me know if you see some issues with it as well, One scene that comes to mind is when Doctore is confronting Naevia (sp?) about Barca's freedom. If you watch Doctore's mouth look for his lips not matching on words that have accented B's and such. It's not extremely off but it is noticeable. I'm well within my return period so if it's just my copy I'll take it back and exchange it. Again sorry for reposting this.

Best buy is always great when it comes to returning stuff, but if i don't have to i'm not going to return it. I can honestly deal with the sync issue since it's not severe, but the curious side of me would like to know if it's an actual issue on others disk.

The Psycho steelbook from the UK is about $21 shipped. It's region-free, should be exactly the same as the US version, and comes with a booklet that isn't included with any of the other releases. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psycho-Anniversary-Special-Steelbook-Blu-ray/dp/B003LY3P2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1285798360&sr=8-1
