Resident Evil: Afterlife

And I thought Blade Trinity had a lot of slow-mo...

Don't know DVDs, but their Blu-rays are pretty sweet.

Nothing of value here.

Thank you, George.  Thank you... for saving me money.

Very entertaining.

Please send these people to savestarwars.com.

I've tried.  But they look at the excellent work you've done along the same lines as RedLetterMedia.  As just another whiny fanboy trying to dilute The Bearded One's Masterful Original Vision.

Since we got the GOUT on DVD in a Laserdisc transfer.  I wonder if we will get a DVD transfer on Blu-ray?

Because it costs too much.  Lucas is basically living paycheck to paycheck.

Just read some of the commentaries on blu-ray-com - Apart from famous Kenkraly and his repetitive comments, seriously I can't stand anymore people, who believes Lucas lies that all original prints of SW are lost forever. Let's take a look on some of those comments:

It never ceases to amaze me at the shear ignorance of the "unaltered theatrical" anal retentive fanboys on this issue.

Don't you people get how the restored '97 SEs were made to begin with? And actually much more importantly, WHY? Because by '95 or '96 (whatever year they started work on them) the original prints were in such bad shape thaty they had to restore them then, or lose them forever. But because they were altered with new CG stuff and whatnot, the frames that included these new effects were only restored in this state...not in the original way. So the unaltered frames, even if they still existed, are in 15 years worse shape now than they were back then. And remember, we're talking '70s film stock, which wasn't the best film stock to ever grace the film world. And I'm mainly talking about ANH here.

Why do you think the "bonus feature" of the unaltered versions on the 2nd DVD release was just a port of the LD version? And no, I doubt there are some better prints of the unaltered film out there in some warehouse somewhere. Because if there was, don't you think they would have been used during the restoration in the first place?

I mean, com'on folks, use your noggin for something other than a hat rack!

 

Guys, I don't know. Does it even make sense to explain people that they are utterly wrong?

If you want to have fun on blu-ray.com I suggest you read the Star Wars related posts by Beast and Bluyoda.  Good stuff.

Watched DS9 episode far beyond the stars. Eh, I didn't like it. Kind of a boring episode...

I take it you did not like Avery Brooks amazing level of overacting?

Life: Season One

It is magical!

If the GOUT ever comes out on Blu-ray, I hope each disc has this warning before the films:

Warning: This film does not reflect the CREATOR'S Original Vision and should be viewed as a WORKPRINT ONLY.

I don't watch it regularly*, but I do think it's better than the prequels.  I even like the Jar Jar episodes.

(* I watch it once a year when it comes to Blu-ray)

I hope that Frank Oz has recorded new dialogue for this set.  Because I desperately want to hear Midi-chlorians coming out of Yoda's mouth in TESB.

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Midi-chlorians create it, makes it grow. Its energy is inside of us at the microscopic level and that in turn binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force inside of you; here, between you, me, and that's it because only a select few have it.  We are the Chosen People, Luke.

Ahhhh.  So much better.

Inception

Third time through and it keeps getting better.

The first episode of Game of Thrones was quite good.  Looking forward to the rest of the season and (hopefully) series.

The Hyperion series could be amazing.  As long as Dan Simmons could write the screenplays of course.

Bowie was the bomb in Labyrinth!

Easy A

Quite funny.
