the turds of Optimus Prime
I have a tendancy to exaggerate. By excruciatingly depressing, I mean sad. Why type one syllable when you can have nine?
I enjoyed Justin Long and the singing brother, but the dissolution of the relationship didn't sit well with the 'funny.' Oh! Vincent D'Onofrio!

I loved 28 Days later, is 28 Weeks later worth a blind buy? And was it shot in HD?

I was looking at this post
and it only has the first and third movies listed. Where did you see the second one?Oni Jazar said:

Not blind-buy worthy. It was decent, but fails to match up with Days. It starts off fucking great though, what an intro! If only the 2nd half could have maintained the quality of it's 1st, it might have surpassed Days.

I know that, but he said on the last page
and I'm just asking him where he sees the double-release listed at. I'm asking because there wasn't a link provided for the release information so maybe he saw something that I didn't.shidoshi said:

Anyone get Robocop on Blu-ray? I've heard conflicting information about it being either the R-rated or Unrated/NC-17 version.

Yeah, but there's a scan of the back cover at HighDefDigest that lists it as being Unrated. I don't think Amazon has shipped my copy yet, so I can't check until later in the week.
I actually caught it this weekend on one of the HD movie channels, i thought it was very depressing.Jill Sandwich said:
I guess you could say its accurate since women are crazy, and Jennifer Aniston shows that, breaking up with a guy then wanting him back the whole time.
Stardust was really good, I really enjoyed Robert Dinero's performance, shame it did so bad at the box office because it deserved better.

Speaking of Robert DeNiro....
I finally watched my copy of The Untouchables last night. A few comments:
One, the film is gorgeous. I don't know one tier from another, but watching this in HD was a treat. I work on the street right where a lot of outdoor scenes happen, so it was pretty cool seeing my office building in my living room.
The film itself has some ups and downs. I don't think it has aged well. A couple of the action sequences, including the famed Union Station scene, come off as very stylized and unreal in a bad way. OTOH, Connery is excellent, and a lot of the "quiet" scenes are extremely well done. And the rooftop chase is great.
Anyway, it's Paramount, so if you have BluRay only, want this, and see it-- grab it while you can.

Just picked up Edward Scissorhands, 28 Days, and 28 Weeks.
Will give impressions soon.
I was nicely surprised by Evil Dead 2 and very impressed with Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Still have Halloween and Dawn waiting to be opened and picking up From Hell tonight.

I'm pretty sure there's a review for this, and while I don't remember details, it was reviewed as really good transfer for all three movies. Look up reviews, they'll probably tell you much more detail than a friend could.ManaByte said:
Here's one review (it's not the same one I read originally):

I was going off the Amazon listings, sorry.
Surprising that Fox did that after putting jack shit on Robocop.
The ONLY copy of Robocop I have is the old Criterion DVD. I'll probably just get the two-disc DVD Fox just did back in August since the Blu-Ray is completely bare bones.

Yeah, it sucks that Fox put nothing on Robocop. But, I never owned it on DVD, so I'll make the sacrifice.

I wonder if Mana will make any comments if a glowing review of Spider-Man comes in.
So transparent.

I didn't say it was bad. My friend just wouldn't give details on if it was good or bad.
And I'd take HD Digest more seriously in reviewing a 1080p transfer than a site that doesn't review it on a 1080p set. It's like reviewing a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack through 2.0 speakers.

The only one I want is the second one and it isn't being sold separately.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I liked the first 2 Spiderman movies, but I'd like all three on HD. Same situation with Shrek and PoTC. The third ones were easily the worst movies on all of those franchises, but not bad enough where I wouldn't want to own them to complete the storylines.
VanMardigan said:
Shrek are all bad. I want Over the Hedge and Antz. Everything else DWA has ever touched can go away. Its all horrid.
POTC has 1 good movie, 1 bad movie and one horrid movie.
Spiderman 1 I loved at first, but it didnt age that well. I would still buy it, but some of the goofy stuff in the beginning and the bridge scene (dont mess with NYers) makes me cringe.
Spiderman 2 is filled with all kinds of win and is completely awesome. Its got some goofyness as well, but is toned down a bit. Much like the first, the badguys are developed well, you actually care about them and their story makes alot of sense.
Spiderman 3 is absolutely horrid. Unwatchable. Spiderman vs. Green Goblin 2 would have been a great movie. The stuff with harry trying to ruin peters life had great potential... there had to be a better way to do it.
but amnesia, venom, sandman and all kinds of emo stupidity ruined this movie. You could tell they just didnt have the guts to make a movie so similar to the first so they just added on undeveloped filler in hopes of making it "exciting".

I hated Spiderman 3, but loved 1 and 2. I guess I'll be picking up the Blu-ray box set. Hopefully it comes out before the Deep Discount fall sale.
Anyone seen Juno with Michael Cera and Ellen Page?jjasper said:
I've seen 40y/o, Superbad, and Knocked Up. I haven't seen Juno yet, but it has received a lot of praise, notably from Ebert as well.
I would say:
40y/o Virgin (the first of its kind in these types of comedies) > Juno (total guess) > Knocked Up > Superbad (I didn't like this movie that much, lack of continuity)
I only put Juno second because Knocked Up didn't have the same effect on me as 40y/o Virgin so I would be surprised if I don't enjoy Juno more than Knocked Up and Superbad.
