In the EXTRA SPECIAL Edition, neither Han nor Greedo shoot. We see that it was Bea Arthur from behind the bar.

Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now will blow your mind when you realize the cinematographers didn't, in fact, record the movie onto dirty diapers and old newspapers, but rather used actual film.

(Seriously, those movies have looked so ugly for so long)

Also, Dr. Strangelove is my favorite B&W HOLY poo poo Bluray.

When shooting those movies Eastwood is speaking English, most of the others are speaking Italian, and all of them are dubbed later, so even the English speakers look out of sync.

This applies to pretty much any and every Leone/Bava/Argento movie.

Those wacky Italians.

Arnie really needs to make another movie so they'll put out better versions of his catalog.

Unfortunately the release of Predators led to a worsening of Predator. Maybe the third time's the charm.

PS3 is wireless G?

No wonder the one in the bedroom can't do Hulu, but the living room (plugged in the router) can.

Wow, you got hulu to work on something that wasn't a PC? I've yet to meet anyone who has been able to do that. The PS3 app seems really, really bad.

Hulu for the iPhone works better than PC.

It's a strange thing.

Who would buy that poo poo at this point. Every release is more hosed than the last. They've literally gone from "I can't believe these visual effects were achieved in the 70's, holy poo poo!" to "why does this crappy CGI-driven movie look like it was filmed in the 70's?"

He's finally hosed them so hard there's nothing left to enjoy unless you want to laugh at yourself for once enjoying these shitheaps.

Motherfucker ought to be ashamed of himself.

Used copies are gonna be cheap as gently caress when the Platinum Edition comes out, and in that one Alderaan fires first and Alec Guinness is replaced by Ewan McGregor.

Are there's weird effects on the Lion King release? I watched the beginning of the movie to check out pq last night and it looked like when they convert a movie that was in 3D to 2D like you can tell what was supposed to pop out. I'm wondering if it's just me.

Did they remaster it to 3D then convert it back?

That's really weird if so.

I went by a brick and mortar store to see what the had and there was a decent selection. Not everything was marked 50% off though--I bet they would still ring up the right price but still annoying that it wasn't clear.

I don't think Barnes and Noble is going to be around much longer though. More than half the store was being turned into a christmas toy section with board games, legos, etc. Doesn't seem like selling books is working out too well for them.

Isn't the figure something like 1 kindle/nook for every 30 Americans have already been sold?

I can't see B&N surviving as a book store much longer. And they definitely can't cut it as a media store selling everything at MSRP.

Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and eBooks are going to destroy them soon enough. It's sad, because I like B&N. Hopefully children's books, old people, book snobs, and a few changes with their pricing can keep the doors open.

e: missed a zero

The "I totally am not trying to rip off Blade Runner" opening to the Avatar DC was neat.

Other than that there's not that much new stuff. And it's still a bad movie.

Alien 3 is a fantastic movie and if you think otherwise, and assuming you pay my air fare, I'll come to your house and stomp on your penis.

So yeah, get the quad set when it's on sale. Then you get 3 great movies, the abysmal 4th one, and tons of cool extras in a pretty pretty box.
