Complete list

New:

(isn't there a guaranteed double-dip for this?)

Interesting:

Special edition:

Studio Ghibli:

Kieslowski collection by Kino Video:

This week's amazingly tricked-out Warner box:

Am I a bad person if I don't even know what "krumping" is?

Television: Andy Griffith S3, 'Allo, 'Allo S3, I Love Lucy S5, Little Britain S1, The Office (American version) S1, Saved By the Bell: The New Class S4, Simpsons S6 in a wacky box whose engineering privileges form over function, and Will and Grace S4.

I've never seen the American version of The Office, but I already think that these people are too handsome, even the boss. The reason the Tim-and-Dawn plot worked in British Office is that Tim looked like some ordinary guy who was growing old before his time, and Dawn was a little on the fat side. Is American Office as funny as British Office?

 

[dskillzhtown]

Not that I had any idea what 'KRUMP' was beforehand, but I did a search and it is a dance: MTV Report. Funny as I search results for krump on MSNBC, CNN, and legit news sites. I had no idea wtf it was either, lol.

Is it as funny? I would say no. Is it pretty funny and worth watching? Yes. Not sure if it is a buy, I guess it depends how cheap I can get it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the basketball episode was hilarious, but NBC is going to replay all the episodes in a row next week, so it makes the DVD release somewhat pointless (for me at least).

 

[distantmantra]

Not a big fan of the Yamadas, but there is another Ghibli film coming out Tuesday that is worth your money:

 

[IntestineBoy]

Here is the only DVD set that anyone has to pick up this week:

This man speaks the truth. I might pick up the Office, but I have all the episodes already, keep that on the DL, so unless theres some form of great extras, it's a no go captain.

 

[Matrix]

I'll be getting Sin City,Undeclared and Simpsons Season 6


"Simpsons S6 in a wacky box whose engineering privileges form over function"

It will have an insert with a toll free number on it to call,you can get the old style of box for free if you want.

 

[Ferny84]

Here is the only DVD set that anyone has to pick up this week:

Isn't that the dude from Million Dollar Baby?

 

[Matrix]

Isn't that the dude from Million Dollar Baby?

Yes.

 

[FoneBone]

Look up some reviews of Rize.

 

[Shinobi]

:lol I'd love to hear the commentary tracks for "the scene"...

 

[Eric Hall]

Buying:
Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth
The Big Hit (UMD)
Sin City (UMD) also waiting for another version to come out
The Rock (UMD)
Shaolin Soccer (UMD) (Already Own, but what the heck, I LOVE it so much)

 

[ToyMachine228]

Sin City is mine on both DVD and UMD. HOORAH.

 

[StrikerObi]

The Big Hit (UMD)
Sin City (UMD) also waiting for another version to come out
The Rock (UMD)
Shaolin Soccer (UMD) (Already Own, but what the heck, I LOVE it so much)

Guys, I found out why UMD sales are so high.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Undeclared, Ballad of Jack & Rose, and Sin City for moi.

 

[Matlock]

:lol I'd love to hear the commentary tracks for "the scene"...

"Here's where we lost the plot and I just wanted to film myself nutting in her mouth. Didn't really intend it to get into the movie, but somehow it wound up there."

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

I will be picking up Sin City and maybe Undeclared if I feel like spending extra money. Pretty decent week, really.

 

[Eric Hall]

Guys, I found out why UMD sales are so high.

Hey! I love my UMD's, work is shit without them :lol

 

[FoneBone]

Definitely skipping Sin City; I can wait another four months...

:lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

those of you that are buying Sin City, which of the 4 covers are you getting? I think im gonna go with Jackie Boy, just because Benicio Del Toro is the coolest, ugliest mother fucker on the planet.

 

[ToyMachine228]

those of you that are buying Sin City, which of the 4 covers are you getting?

The one with everyone on it probably. I'm assuming that there is only one cover on the UMD version, so maybe I will get a different cover on DVD since I'll have the cover with everyone on UMD. Ah, who knows.

 

[Eric Hall]

I'm pretty sure the one with everyone on it is the actual case. The other character cases are the carboard coverings, if I remember correctly

 

[VPhys]

I doubt it will be 4 months. I see it comming out next summer near the release of Sin City 2.

 

[Socreges]

Undeclared.... I might pick that up depending on the price.

I've never seen the American version of The Office, but I already think that these people are too handsome, even the boss. The reason the Tim-and-Dawn plot worked in British Office is that Tim looked like some ordinary guy who was growing old before his time, and Dawn was a little on the fat side. Is American Office as funny as British Office?

I don't think it's as funny, but both are very good.

The Pam-and-Jim plot is actually done well.

I agree about the handsome thing, but only now that you mention it. The Office UK was definitely an uglier, more realistic office. The US characters aren't attractive enough to bother me, though - not even close.

"Thank you, Prospero."

 

[Synth_floyd]

New DVDs are out?

MUST BUY THEM ALL

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Undeclared.... I might pick that up depending on the price.

$29 through Deep Discount. Seems unlikely you can do better than that; kind of a bummer they chose not to do a deluxe yearbook set like with Freaks & Geeks, though.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The one with everyone is the ACTUAL dvd case cover.



It will be released in 4 different slipcases though.

Willis/Alba - Hartigan/Nancy


Rourke/King - Marv/Goldie


Owen/Dawson - Dwight/Gail

Del Toro/Murphy - Jackie Boy/Shellie

 

[MaverickX9]

Kieslowski set = mine

One of the best directors of all time. Period. Exclamation point.

 

[FoneBone]

http://dvd.ign.com/articles/641/641160p1.html

IGN: Knowing that there will eventually be multiple versions of a film released on DVD, how do you make sure that your audience is satisfied with each of those iterations?
Rodriguez: Well, usually I just put out one. With this one, they are already putting out one that comes out [August 16] that is just bare bones. I had not put anything extra on that, because I didn't have time to finish my DVD extras. They will put that out four months later because of piracy and stuff like that, and they actually don't put anything on there so that they know, 'well, this isn't the real DVD.'

Though it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see it delayed, assuming that the sequel goes ahead on schedule.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Just Sin City for me.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Ill get the Bruce + Alba cover, cause her armpit makes me tingle

 

[ToyMachine228]

Just a heads up...

Circuit City has the Sin City UMD for only $14.99, and it appears that the DVD is going for the same price all week. Circuit City is also giving away Lithograth sets with Sin City while supplies last.

Target has Sin City on DVD for $16.99.

its $16.99 at Best Buy too i believe, with some free comic book.

 

[J2 Cool]

Damn temptation. Sin City sounds good this week, and the Alba cover just adds to the seducing. Collector's baby! Extended cut! :'(

 

[StrikerObi]

Hey! I love my UMD's, work is shit without them :lol

Wouldn't it be WAY more cost effective to buy the DVDs (which cost less to begin with), rip them to your computer, and then move them over to your PSP? Plus, it would be much less of a drain on your PSP's battery.

I know memory stick is expensive, but it would be more cost effective in the long run, and you'd be able to watch all the movies on your TV as well.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Any idea if the Circuit City lithographs have Super Rosario Dawson on any of them? If Y then I'm sorely tempted to buy a. . . oh yeah, I have no money. LOLOL >:|

You realize ripping DVDs to your computer is illegal, right? Don't even try to defend it with "backup" BS, you have to use a program to break the copy protection encryption on the disc in order to rip it.

Its the same as the guy who posted the thread asking if he should pay for a torrent site or iTunes. iTunes is legal, torrent sites are not. UMD movies are legal, ripped movies on your PC are not.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I see Jessica Alba, Del Toro, Bruce Willis, Brittany Murphy, Mickey Rourke, and one with the DVD cover, but no Rosario.

Has anyone else notice how differeny Brittany Murphy looks in her promotional shots for Sin City than she actually does in the movie? It doesn't even really look like her.

Also, about the ripping movie thing, it's not more cost effective. A 1 Gig Memory Stick can probably hold like one movie...So you just spent at least $100 on a Memory Stick for one movie on your PSP, and put yourself at risk to be arrested for piracy. Doesn't sound too hot to me.

Meh, considering most PSP users here use the emulation scene to defend their support and purchase of the PSP through the dry months, I doubt legal issues is the #1 thing on their mind.

Just get a DVD and rip it if you want.

 

[pilonv1]

Undeclared is out? Fantastic news, hopefully it's as packed as the Freaks & Geeks DVDs were.

 

[The_Sorrow]

Is Sin City going to at least have a making of?

so it's illegal making mp3's of your copy protected CD's too Its also illegal to tape any nfl, nhl, nba etc broadcasted show..yet there are such things as vcr's dvr's tivo..I suppose its appalling to you.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I think there is like an 8 minute making of feature on this release...And then more stuff coming towards December/January when the "deluxe edition" is released.

 

[ManaByte]

Uh, did I mention CDs or recording TV shows off TV? No. I was specifically talking about DVDs and breaking the CSS encryption on the disc, which is currently illegal to do.

 

[btrboyev]

I'm just making a point...do you not rip your cd's and put them on a mp3 player? Or would you rather just pay for the tracks on itunes instead?

 

[ManaByte]

I don't own a MP3 player except for the one on my PSP and my memory stick isn't big enough to fit that much.

But, have you never heard of DRM?

 

[btrboyev]

yes I have, but do you really think I care if its illegal? Am I hurting the industry by ripping a dvd to mp4 format? I may be hurting sony i guess but not really as I never intend to buy a umd ever.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I almost rented Sin City in my hotel last night. I rented a porn instead.
