The Zone

I hope it's not one of those goddamn extended versions. If I'm going to buy this fucker I want the goddamn version I saw in theaters, the one I fucking liked. Not that KING KONG bullshit with the crap no one cares about (for most people, the entire film). Or it should come with the extended and theatrical versions and some sort of device that will give me a simulated blowjob. I will wait 'til November for that. Until then I will continue to mentally fuck Twentieth Century Fox in the ass.

I've got a lady for such things. But she is 2,000 miles away currently. These blue balls could prove fatal.

I'm bringing her up here this summer, via something called an "aero-plane."

by **caruso_stalker217** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 2:19 am

I'm not implying that I would be flying the plane. Who am I, John Travolta? I will be paying for the ticket.

by **Hermanator X** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 2:26 am

I think its hilarious that Avatar was released on "Earth Day" as a tie in to its environmental message.
On a bare bones release, to be complimented with a double dip down the line. Maybe on "Wasteful plastic polluting Earth destroying day."

Im still very meh about wanting to see it again. Didnt hate it, didnt love it. Just very meh. Dont think I will be picking it up at all.

I'm with Caruso on this nonsense involving not putting all the cuts on one mega-edition. What gives? They keep trying to sell everybody on this bluray business but then they don't even do things that standard def DVDs did. My standard def Terminator 2 has like three cuts on one disc, don't tell me you couldn't put both the theatrical and extended cuts of Amadeus on one bluray, that's just lazy. I don't get it either, I mean, as far as I know the theatrical cut of Amadeus is the one that swept the Oscars and made millions of dollars, I don't know why they think nobody would want that and why they just put the director's cut out. It's also one of those easy cuts where the extended cut is just some added scenes, it's not like Apocalypse Now where they use totally different cuts of the same scenes and edit them different. But even so, I would expect an Apocalypse Now bluray to have several cuts all in one place.

The same goes for my Watchmen ultimate bluray box thing, there's like four discs in this thing and the box is huge but they couldn't put all three cuts in there?

by **Bloo** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:52 am

Wasn't there an edition of Blade Runner where they put all 55 versions Ridley Scott has put together over the years on like one or two discs?

What it comes down to though, is what it always comes down to...the $$$

by **Spandau Belly** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:53 am

Yeah, the Blade Runner one was good. That's what they should always aim for.

Man, Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier just goes to show exactly how much shit you can pack into a special edition. Probably my favorite dvd release. I'd buy the BluRay in a second with all that shit on it.

by **caruso_stalker217** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:25 pm

Well, that didn't take long. I broke down and bought AVATAR today. The power of Lang compelled me.

by **Bloo** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:51 pm

pussy

I was tempted too

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sat Apr 24, 2010 12:11 am

Fact: Stephen Lang can shove his arm up your ass, all the way to the elbow. And he will.

I wasn't about to fuck with that shit.

Oh, the movie is still good. Even on the small screen.

by **minstrel** on Sat Apr 24, 2010 1:40 pm

I got Avatar yesterday. Totally no-frills dumbass edition. But this is a movie my roomie and I like enough to buy every edition they put out (except BluRay, because we don't have a player).

Our TV is 3D-ready. We just don't have a 3D source to feed it yet.

by **travis-dane** on Sun Apr 25, 2010 7:43 am

I bought...

The Ugly Truth

Halloween 2 (Zombie)

Sukiyaki Western Django

Avatar (new, for 7.99€, because Fox Germany realised that the DVD sales are going down and a bare bones edition is not worth more the €9.99. Thank you very much)

by **Chris a.k.a StuntMike** on Thu Apr 29, 2010 9:11 am

To Live And Die In L.A. BluRay.

by **DennisMM** on Wed May 19, 2010 10:39 pm

While browsing at KMart I found a 2-disc set with all four of the Burton/Schumacher Batman films. Ten bucks. Worth it to me.

by **travis-dane** on Thu May 20, 2010 2:02 am

I got..

Charlie Wilsons War

Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man

by **Hermanator X** on Thu May 20, 2010 2:32 am

Band of Brothers on blu ray, and started working my way through it. Havent seen it before, but it sounds like all I have heard is true. Pretty damn good so far, and it looks glorious on my shiny new LED telly.

by **DerLanghaarige** on Tue May 25, 2010 3:49 pm

I finally bought one of the most important films of my childhood and Tom Hanks greatest movie. Yes, I'm talking about The 'burbs, even if it's just a barebones release with nothing but the trailer. (I gave up all hope that we ever see a Special Edition of it, maybe even with the two alternative endings.)

You're in for a treat, Derlang! It turns out that Tom Hanks has made many, many movies, and nearly all of them are better than The 'burbs! So check 'em out!

:wink:

THE 'BURBS is a classic. But VOLUNTEERS is where it's at!

Believe me, I know most of them, even "Mazes & Monsters" and the Tales From The Crypt episode that he directed and in which Treat Williams throws him head first into a TV set, but I don't think any of them is more successful in what they tried to achieve than The 'burbs.

by **Bloo** on Tue May 25, 2010 11:19 pm

I just bought the big 30th Anniversary edition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Rocketeer

Wildly under-rated, mainly because the "hero" is not a very likable guy.
But that seems more realistic to me, and points out what the nature of obsession ( ie wanting to nail his partner's killer)
can do to even the best of men. Shit, check out the last few hours of 24.
Good stuff, this.

by **magicmonkey** on Wed May 26, 2010 1:31 am

The 'Burbs is Dant(e)astic! It's a film lovers feast!1!

I managed to get hold of Abbott and Costello's Jack and the Beanstalk, it made fantastic Saturday morning fare.

by **Spandau Belly** on Sun May 30, 2010 3:32 pm

I bought a whole bunch of shit.

MARKED FOR DEATH bluray
Many feel this is Segal's finest film, my vote would probably go to Out For Justice, but this one would definately be up there. Seeing as after Expendables round we are doing Machete round in the Oleg Movie Club, I am pretty certain somebody will pick this one seeing as it is definately the better of the two previous films Segal and Trejo made together. Urban Justice was nothing shabby either, a good DTV.

INGLOUIOUS BASTERDS bluray
I still think this film is sloppy in ways it shouldn't be, but I can't deny its charm and its scenes of pure excellence definately outweigh the weaker stuff. The titular basterds are hugely underdeveloped and Shoshana is kinda dull, but Pitt and Waltz are fantastic and the tavern scene may be the strongest individual scene of Tarantino's career. Surprisingly, it doesn't have any of the problems typical of long-gestating projects. The other surprise weakness is that Hitler himself is actually the least entertaining and least threatening character. It was cheap, and I feel like I will probably watch this film a few more times, so I picked it up.

MAXIMUM RISK and DOUBLE TEAM double feature standard def DVD
We're watching Double Team in the Oleg Movie Club in Expendables round, so I needed to get that anyway. I remember Maximum Risk being Van Damme's classiest movie at the time, but I definately didn't see the bulk of his work because he never did all that much for me. Ringo Lam directed Max Risk, and he also made Van Damme's best DTV flick, In Hell. If you haven't seen In Hell, you should probably check it out. It's the best DTV mashup of Gladiator, the Shawshank Redemption and Alien 3 that I have seen.

by **Bloo** on Sun May 30, 2010 7:21 pm

a couple of weeks ago I picked up THE ROCKETEER and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND cheap on DVD, this week I picked up a new copy of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (years ago I loaned a friend a copy and never got it back along with Big Trouble in Little China) and BAD BOYS 2 (one of the best Bay-gasms out there)

by **travis-dane** on Mon May 31, 2010 4:51 pm

I didn't know there was such a thing as a "Bay-gasm". The concept is rather frightening.

yes I know it is quite frightening but at the same time virtually impossible to look away from. Like midget porn

by **caruso_stalker217** on Tue Jun 01, 2010 12:04 am

Why would you want to look away from midget porn? Unless we're talking dude midgets.

Apologies to any little people who may frequent these boards.

Although I still think "little people" sounds more derogatory than "midget."

by **Bloo** on Tue Jun 01, 2010 12:08 am

midget porn is strangely addictive

They should refer to themselves as people with superior brain to body-size ratios.

Just ordered Wong Kar Wai's Fallen Angels and Happy Together on Blu-ray for cheap. Deepdiscount.com has an extra 25% off codeword sale going on until the 20th.

by **minstrel** on Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:22 pm

I got:
The Road
Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story
Eddie Izzard Live at Wembley

I haven't watched any of these yet, but their essences are suffusing my room right now, enhancing my experience of life.

there was a whole display at my Wal-Mart of $7.50 flicks and for some reason some good horror stuff, including BotW

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sat Jun 12, 2010 2:45 am

There is some genuine gold in those $7.50 displays. But don't take my word for it. I am a Wal-Mart drone after all.

by **Hermanator X** on Sat Jun 12, 2010 3:31 am

I just picked up quite a bargain. In the trade in section of a videogame store in town, they had a Luc Besson box set.

It contained:

Leon
Nikita
The Fifth Element
The Big Blue
Atlantis (?)
Subway
Les Derniers combat

and all for approx £10 ($15) which is a pretty good price I reckon. And I also picked up some Denzel goodness in Fallen, I just love that movie. Was also quite cheap.

I've always wanted to see Les Derniers combat, but never got round to it, I don't know Atlantis either, and I don't think The Big Blue is a sublime work of genius BUT it just has something about it that always makes me want to watch it, that Serra soundtrack that's just soo different, Jean Reno, the stuff shot in Greece, the fact that the lead prefers Dolphins to women and also that it has a version longe and was one of the first films to ever do that. Pulls me in everytime. Curses! Now I've had to put it on...
