I got money that says this is the exterior packaging that wholesale clubs like Sams Club and CostCo will be using on the set. They always have external "long boxes" much like the old days of CDs on most of their DVDs. Granted their box sets usually come in molded plastic bubble boxes, I wouldn't put it past them to do something "special" like this for Star Wars. Looks just like their MO.

Pound that concept into Sly's head before he gets any further with Rocky VI.

Check out Open Your Eyes (Abre Los Ojos). It's the original Spanish language version of Vanilla Sky. You'll like what you see in Cruz. I did.

No. GL does this with nearly all his SW releases. They're all LE and he floods the market with them. Like I said, "limited" only refers to time and not quantity. Maybe it will lose some sales because it's not there forever and a day. But the demand for SW on DVD is so great that if people are ever going to buy it, it will be within the first couple months or so. Surely before Christmas comes around. After that, it's just the stragglers. They can buy it used online or in used bricks and mortar stores.

My kind of deity. Interesting theory, Reg. It does make sense to a degree but I still doubt that was his reasoning. Still interesting, though.

That article you linked is pretty twisted. What a dipshit.

Yeah, I was holding out at the US$20-25 price point at which it started, but it's getting more and more appealing all the time.

I checked on Monday night and it was still the September issue of GQ. I didn't think to actually open it and see if the interview was in there, though, just because Jay said it was supposed to be the October issue.

Yeah, but do you really think that if Lucas does make it PG-13 that his "licensing agreement" will actually mean that the film won't be released? I doubt it. Lucas says it's gonna be PG-13, it's gonna be PG-13. Regardless of what FOX, the MPAA, or anyone else says. If he simply tells people that FOX won't let him release his film because it's a measley PG-13, the critical and popular backlash against FOX would be devastating. They can't afford that kind of bad press. Agreement be damned, what Lucas says, (sometimes unfortunately) goes.

That depends on if Luke was referring to Jessica Simpson or Jessica Biel. I've seen far too much of Simpson already. I don't want to see her in this. Biel, like Gundark says, would be great in this role. I even mentioned it to my wife. She hates the idea of Simpson and thinks Biel would be good as well. Seeing Biel in Blade: Trinity is the only reason I'm giving the first Blade another chance (didn't like it the first time I saw it) and seeing the second one at all.

Yeah, it tends to get pretty ugly. Jay even threatened to banish him again.

Guys, I'll take a Harp, Bass, or Killians in terms of beer. Shimmy, I'll spring for some Parrot Bay for ya, man. Dr. Pepper works just find for those non-alcoholic moments, but, then again, Gundark already knows that one! We have done some virtual sharing of the good Doctor several times already.

That's a pretty cool looking computer, isn't it? My wife isn't sure if she likes it or not and she would still rather have the G4 iMac lamp. Maybe we can get a good one discounted since it's the old model now. Dunno.

I think some of these people are actually in favor of the changes like Jimbo. Others who voted in this category are just voting on the idea of them being available on DVD and missing the entire purpose of the poll.

Luke, all I gots to say is... "applesauce, bitch."

Limited Edition just means the amount of time. There have always been more than enough copies to go around. The rest just get recalled after the time period expires.

And don't worry about finding copies after the sale period... there will be plenty in your local used DVD store and online at Amazon Marketplace and eBay once people realize what they bought.
