[madara]

Does any version of Ray have longer playtime for movie or the all same runtime?

 

[Prospero]

It looks like both the two-disc limited edition and the single-disc edition have a theatrical cut and an extended cut with seamless branching.

 

[ManaByte]

Just buying Ray.

It's still playing down the street from me, and I want to see it, but it's cheaper to get the DVD at Best Buy on Tuesday than see it in theaters now.

 

[Archaix]

Only purchase that matters this week for me...And I feel like smacking you for mentioning Beastmaster and Charmed but not Wonderfalls. But I won't. Because that would be mean.

How are they charging $15-20 for tickets to a movie that opened like 6-8 months ago?

 

[TheDuce22]

Those adult swim dvds are such a ripoff. You pay 35 bucks for maybe 2 hours of episodes.

 

[mrkapawutzis]

Jules Dassin on criterion = drooling all over myself.

Don't forget

Although there is supposed to be a region 2 special edition released in Japan.

 

[Archaix]

Those adult swim dvds are such a ripoff. You pay 35 bucks for maybe 2 hours of episodes.

I've never bought one for more than 17 bucks. Retail price is normally $25. (edit: Just checked amazon.com, apparently suggested retail for sealab is 30 bucks...damn, I've never seen an Adult Swim set over 25...30 bucks is a ripoff)

17 isn't much more than any other movie, and I'd buy 13 episodes of 12 minute Sealab/AHTF/Space Ghost long before most comedy movies.

 

[ManaByte]

How are they charging $15-20 for tickets to a movie that opened like 6-8 months ago?

Tickets are still $10. Food in the theater then is another $10-20.

They are still charging full price for movies like Ray because of Oscar nominations.

 

[border]

Okay, you can complain about the ticket price but it always annoys me that that people automatically add theatre food into the equation. Is it that hard to watch a film without stuffing yourself with grease and sugar? Or to eat in advance?

Adult Swim DVD are expensive, and annoyingly so. I don't think you can get them for less than $23-25 (even online).

 

[trilobyte]

 

[olimario]

Chariots of Fire for me.

 

[Joe]

holy shit karate kid

 

[Brian Fellows]

ICk nothing for me this week.

 

[android]

Ray's out already? Didn't it come out in early November?

 

[Drensch]

Wonderfalls for me.

Adult Swim DVD are expensive, and annoyingly so. I don't think you can get them for less than $23-25 (even online).

Yeah, Adult Swim dvds are damn expensive, you basically have to wait until they're super cheap. It's as if HBO published Adult Swim.

I bought the first sealab and second Aqua Teen for 18 bucks apiece at...uh...fuck. Suncoast, maybe? Anyway, it was the first week they were released. Best Buy sold the third Aqua Teen and the most recent Space Ghost set (volume 2, I think?) for 20 bucks in the first week, too. Didn't make it to the mall to check the prices at...Yeah, I'm gonna go with Suncoast. I might be entirely wrong, I've only been in the store twice and can't really think of which one it was. Not much cheaper than 23-25$, but cheaper nonetheless.

 

[Shinobi]

Both versions of Ray have 14 additional scenes. The regular version also has two uncut and complete musical performances, while the limited edition version has nine.

 

[Joe]

the entire karate kid collection is $25, thats a damn steal.

 

[swoon]

Jules Dassin on criterion = drooling all over myself.

i know! i wish they'd do all the image dassin films also.

 

[aparisi2274]

they need to make a collectors edtion of the karate kid

 

[atomsk]

YEAH BUDDY!

 

[Matrix]

I'll be getting...

Wonderfalls
Karate Kid collection
The Grudge *I <3 Sarah*

 

[RedDwarf]

A Jess Franco movie comes out on DVD and once again nobody notices. Tsk tsk.

My buy for this week:

 

[Guzim]

I must buy The Karate Kid collection even though 3 and 4 suck.

 

[ManaByte]

the entire karate kid collection is $25, thats a damn steal.

Yes, but the question is are they widescreen versions or just repackaged versions of the crappy fullscreen DVDs that are already out?

 

[Cosmic Bus]

They're widescreen this time around.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

meh. I might pickup Ray on a blind buy (pun intended? Guess you'll never know) but other than that not much interests me. Is the HEAT 2 disc special edition out this week too?

 

[Celicar]

Shitty release week.

 

[Archaix]

Everybody who isn't buying Wonderfalls is a nazi.

There, I said it.

 

[The Main Event]

Ray on DVD already? Karate Kid for me if I can find it in my town.

 

[The Main Event]

Even though I hated that movie, I think this one is worth of a mention.

 

[Mairu]

I will eventually pick up Brak vol1 & sealab season 2 but since I spent a lot on PSP stuff recently I think I'll hold off for a couple of weeks.

 

[Flynn]

I have the complete collection of these, worth the rent if you like the ideas of giant monsters and samurai in the same movie.

No love for Raoul Duke?

 

[border]

Doesn't Hunter S. Thompson totally hate "Where The Buffalo Roam"? Not that that is any reason to snub the movie, but I had heard that his reaction was violent anger, with some pretty choice words for Bill Murray....I'm just curious

 

[Socreges]

No love for Raoul Duke?

How come Bill Murray plays Hunter S. Thompson, but Depp plays Raoul Duke? Are they interchangable?

 

[Flynn]

It's a pretty good handling of the subject, I think.

Raoul Duke is the name Thompson calls himself in his writings. So Murray is playing the character in the books, even though there's some allusion to the fact that his lawyer, Lazlo might be a figment of the writer's imagination or another alter ego.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Is that a special edition of Where the Buffalo Roam? Because I thought it's been out on DVD for a while.

On Where the Buffalo Roam (in which Bill Murray portrayed Thompson): "The movie ate shit, of course."
