8 episodes consisting of various snippets on what you should do should the case of Danger arrive! Such as an alligator attack, snakes, frostbite, etc.

There's also a bonus thing on what to do should a Zombie Outbreak occur with Simon Pegg as a guest.

Anyone know what Crazed Fruit is about?

From Criterion's website:

"Two brothers compete for the amorous favors of a young woman during a seaside summer of gambling, boating, and drinking in this seminal 'sun tribe' (taiyozoku) film from director Ko Nakahira. Adapted from the controversial novel by Shintaro Ishihara - and critically savaged for its lurid portrayal of the postwar sexual revolution among Japan’s young and privileged - Crazed Fruit is an anarchic outcry against tradition and the older generation."

Should be fantastic. And, for a slightly different sort of Japanese cinema:

This may or may not be released tomorrow - comingsoon.net says yes, Amazon says mid-July - but it still deserves to be mentioned.

[AB 101]

Excellent. I get to save some cash this week.

 

[Escape Goat]

WTF? Noone asked for this to be released on DVD!! Aaaargh!

And why does the black guy look uber gay?

 

[milanbaros]

The girl furthest right loks like the girl from scrubs.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Wow, Tetsuo the Iron Man.

I saw that back in college, on a big screen. I think I still have the psychic scars from the ending.

 

[Alucard]

I still can't believe they made a movie called "Diary of a Mad Black Woman". Racial equality GO!

 

[ocelittle]

Carla...it's not, but it looks like her for sure.

Thanks for the insight, professor.

Meh. I'll just wait for proper season boxes.

The new class chicks were far hotter then the original girls. FACT.

Comes out on 6/28.

Amazon's editorial review:

Gunner Palace may well prove to be the emblematic film of the Iraq war, offering a yet-to-be rivaled level of intimacy with the inner lives of those who hate war more than anyone--the soldiers who have to fight it. A war documentary seemingly without an agenda, at least in political terms, it appears to neither support left-wing nor right-wing interpretations of the Iraq war (or perhaps it supports both). Director Michael Tucker provides a ground-level view of the conflict by closely following members of the 2/3 Field Artillery. He lived with these soldiers, documented their daily lives in a bombed-out former pleasure palace once belonging to Uday Hussein, accompanied them on raids, and recorded their brutally honest observations on film. We learn that mortar attacks typically fail to rattle the troops, but that paper bags or packages in the streets that may contain Improvised Explosive Devices evoke gut-churning anxiety. We see Iraqi civilians whose homes are raided, cowering with fear as these members of the occupation search for contraband weapons. We meet soldiers who express profound doubts about the morality of their mission, soldiers who earnestly hope they’re helping the people of Iraq, soldiers who roll on the ground with laughter at the ineffective armor they've been provided for their Humvees. Most of these men (and occasionally women) hail from small towns and vacillate between exaltation for the adventure they're experiencing on the world stage and deep confusion and disillusionment at how it's proceeding. At one point in the documentary, Tucker returns to his home in the states; some footage of him making breakfast in his kitchen is shocking when one considers that only twelve hours previous he was in a war zone. Gunner Palace recapitulates this dissonant sensation by virtue of its candor and proximity to the conflict. In the 1970s the major broadcast media brought Vietnam into our living rooms via the nightly news. Gunner Palace, practically by itself, provides the same service today.

And I can't believe the Mad Black Woman is played by a man.

Amazon's editorial review:

I saw Gunner Palace in the theater, it was a well done, very intriguing film, but even with proceeds going to support families of soldiers, I can't justify purchasing and/or even watching this ever again.

If you haven't seen it, make sure you rent it at least.

 

[LakeEarth]

This will be it for me this week.

Is there a 2000 DVD? Cause I wasn't into the show back then and I'm sure it would really like to see it.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

The only thing I'm buying.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

Is there a 2000 DVD? Cause I wasn't into the show back then and I'm sure it would really like to see it.

To my knowledge, this is the first time there has been a Daily Show DVD. Hopefully there will be more in the future.

 

[xsarien]

Yeah. I'd kill for a DVD of their 2000 election coverage. It puts their 2004 work to (relative) shame.

 

[ManaByte]

Was going to buy Entourage, but got this instead:

Best Buy only had one copy of the Widescreen left w/ the book so I grabbed it instead.

 

[Shinobi]

Yeah, Jaws 30th widescreen has been tough as nails to find for some reason. I'll try again later today.

Hmmm...might have to check this out.

Thank God, the original "Browning Version" on DVD. One of my all time favorite movies.
