picked up Kill Bill 1 & 2 on BD from Best Buy pricematched to Fry's:
$23.99 each
$10 off when you buy both.
total was $38 + tax
there is also a $10 rebate EACH if you own the original DVD's, bringing it to a total of $18 for both copies.
Question- The rebate asks for the UPC barcode of the DVD's and BD's. I don't want to cut anything from my BD, is a photocopy of the UPC sufficient?

Figured this would be the case after the videogame got delayed until next year. Should be a nice 25th anniversary for the franchise through.
All I really want from this box set outside of the revamped picture quality in HD, is a killer special feature list for the GBII. That movie just doesn't get the respect that it diserves by fans or Sony.
There were so many scenes deleted from the final film that I hear that if it were to be re-edited together, then GBII would be an entirely different movie...
-Rick Morranis' side story trying to catch Slimer in the firehouse.
-A possessed Ray drives the ECTO-1A out of control through New York.
-GBs meet Louis' cousin Sherman Tully at a hospital (played by Eugene Levy).
-Extended scene outside the museum with the Mayor and firefighters near the end.
-Extended celebration ceremony outside the restored Statue of Liberty.

Thats not easy enough and theres too much of a chance of it going wrong. At this point in dvds life I could go to any hifi store and get players from good manufacturers (Denon, Marantz ect) unlocked from new.Jax said:

That sounds right. I remember hearing she was originally intended to be following the bride in an ice cream truck through out the film (and I think you can hear it in a couple of scenes).

There's a few more I want to get yet like Sahun of the Dead and Sky Captain, etc, etc.
There's a LOT of users selling off old stock for about 7$-$10 a piece, imports, etc as well.

Insane For Sony
I'm really on the fence about this movie. Should I watch it, much less buy it? It was rated poorly by at least half the critics, even though some notable ones, like Ebert, liked it. Is the movie really so mediocre, or was it the case of "That guy made The Cell, this is going to suck as well" mentality?Benjillion said:

So I just picked up Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 and Pan's Labyrinthe on BD. Is there any word of Grindhouse coming to BD by any chance?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I saw Baby Mama last night. The first Universal movie I've seen on Blu Ray. It was........weird seeing the Universal menu playing on my Ps3, and not seeing the long HD DVD intro right after the Universal logo plays out. But yeah, the menu worked great, more responsive than I remember on the Xbox HD DVD player or my Toshiba A3. The U-Control also worked exactly as it did on HD DVD. The movie itself didn't look very good (it's a comedy, meh), and the sound was TrueHD, much better than Uni's DD Plus HD DVD offerings, but on this movie in didn't matter.

both titles due to hit stores separately on December 16.

Death Proof and Planet Terror have both been announced for release in December, but no plans for them together as Grindhouse. Fuck the Weinsteins.

That's probably a good thing because I only really care about Planet Terror. Deathproof had some hot chicks, but overall I didn't enjoy the movie.

I'm definitely buying it. There is a standalone BD that's not special edition though right? That's all I've seen is the $40 one.
Watched No Country for Old Men on BluRay last night.
Awesome until the irritating execution of the ending - as I'm sure has been discussed many times. Gah.
UK gaffers can get a free bluray by signing up to the free 14 day trial of Tesco DVD rental service: Link
Thik I will go for Cloverfield, NCFOM's ending just killed it for me. (and yes I get the message of the film yadda yadda)

that's the same way the book ended! what did you want?
So, I received Kill Bill v1 and v2 Blu-ray today from Amazon.. and no rebate information whatever. Not even the sticker on the package like I've seen on other retail versions. Anybody who does have that information, is there anything saying a way to find the rebate forms online? Nothing has turned up so far in my quick checking, but I need to look around more.
Also noticed that the back of the box doesn't list all of the different subtitle languages that are available. Was glad to see that Japanese subs were indeed still intact (for my wife's benefit).

Sounds like Fry's has the lowest price on Speed Racer at $25.99.
Fuck I don't know why but I went on a big blu ray spending spree today and had to hold off from buying a few more.
Amazon 3 for 2:
Hellboy
Men in Black
Knights Tale
Preorder:
Starship Troopers box set 1-3
almost went for Blackhawk Down, Replacement Killers and Vertical Limit on the same deal
had to hold back on Enter The Dragon, Memento, Cloverfield, Batman Begins and Gangs Of New York.
only a friend msning me reigned me in from buying these last discs which are on my "will eventually own anyway" list. I figure I can be patient.
anyone have any thoughts on any of these discs? any not worth bothering with or any you consider buy right nows?

Are Canadians eligible for that rebate? Can't seem to find it.

I haven't actually seen the rebate, but I doubt it's good in Canada. None of the previous ones have been, IIRC.

Any good sales on the Hulk BD this week? Thinking about picking it up if there's a good price on it. Never saw it in theatres.
