Hmm, I like them, though not the BATMAN lettering at the top...

Yeah I thought the same thing about the lettering Don_Andrew

Im short of money at the moment. Dunno if I should get 21 Gram or Lost in Translation next...

21 Grams. Both are great films, but 21 Grams is far superior.

Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox has announced its Edward Scissorhands: Anniversary Edition for release on 11/18. There will be 3 versions - separate full frame and anamorphic widescreen editions (SRP $14.98), as well as the anamorphic widescreen version packaged in a collectible tin (SRP $19.98). Extras will include audio commentary by director Tim Burton, audio commentary by composer Danny Elfman, a short featurette on the making of the film, interview clips )with Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Weist, Tim Burton, Caroline Thompson, Alan Arkin, Vincent Price and Danny Elfman), trailers, TV spots and a video gallery of concept artwork.

Just got this today

Batman Begins

The features are good, as well as the cover, although I liked this poster better.

I concur, I think the poster looked better and should have been used instead

WOW, they are releasing a limitied edition of the "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For A Few Dollars More". Now this looks great. Unfortunately, MGM has the rights for "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" so there wont be a complete trilogy set from Paramount. What a shame.

Amazon has the two-disc version Batman Begins on sale for 48% off for all Pre-Orders.

Goddamn. I gotta get Seventh Seal, Le Samourai, Sin City, and Batman Begins. I wish I had a credit card.

EDIT: The link was just updated with the single disk version, which has an even worse cover.

So I'm taking it you've finally seen Sin City?

No, I gotta get it. I saw it at K Mart today for $15, but didn't get it. Somewhere down the road when most of my to-get list is gone, I will probably also get the Man on Fire SE, which I also saw for cheap.

Got these yesterday at WalMart for $5.50

Got this today

Great pickup Don_Andrew

Not to mention I got it for free. A relative works for Miramax.

That's a good purchase. I don't own it because the only good Tarantino-release is the Reservoir Dogs Special Edition here in Germany. Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown have some of the shittiest DVD-Releases I've ever seen for good movies. They better re-release them.

Monday sees the release of the new Herzog boxset. My next big purchase, I think. But Godard's Notre musique is out now too, and I want that. Not to mention The Sopranos season 5 is yet to become part of my collection...

Mick

I got The Simpsons Season 6 yesterday with Homer's ugly head

DV, tell me how you like Sin City.

Anyways, other than my purchase of Sin City on tuesday (I got the Marv & Wendy cover-slip), I picked these up today:





And I had to order this last one in, because for some strange reason, Suncoast doesn't carry the best film of 1999 in stock...

I posted in the Movie thread.

Ah, I see it. A reasonable oppinion. Like I've said in the past... It's not a masterpiece, but so damn great, and entertaining. It's a pure entertainment/visual film.

It's the eyecandy piece of the film. And I don't say that because of the 3456346934354534 nude scenes.

I think Ebert described it best.

#1 - A Film-Noir on steroids
#2 - The heartbroken man who wandered the dark noir streets, Sin City would be his nightmares.

My parents bought these.

Bought the two-disc special editions of both Alien and Aliens two days ago. I suppose I could have held for eventually getting the Alien Quadrilogy, but that would have ment getting the 'interesting but not great' second and third sequels. With regards to the discs I actually bought, Twentieth Century Fox did a great job, at least judging from the presentation of these two genre classics. One can view them in either their theatrical or extended cuts, and there's some great featurettes too.

October 18th will be a kickass day:

George A. Romero's LAND OF THE DEAD

http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?r=0&s=1&c=7475&n=1&burl=

"Both Rated and Unrated discs will be available to own from the 18th October this year, and should retail at around $29.99 a piece. The rated edition (runtime 1 hour 33 minutes) will be available in full frame only, whereas the unrated edition (1 hour 37 minutes) will be presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Each will carry English Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 Surround tracks. Extras wise, both discs will carry an audio commentary with George Romero, producer Peter Grumwald and editor Michael Doherty, an Undead Again: The Making of Land of the Dead featurette, A Day with the Living Dead featurette, deleted scenes and a When Shaun met George featurette. The unrated disc will include all of that, along with a Bringing the Dead to Life featurette, a Scenes of Carnage feature, a feature on the Zombie Effects from Green Screen to Finished Scene, a Bringing the Storyboards to Life feature, and Scream Tests: Zombie Casting Call."

and of course, also that same damn day:

BATMAN BEGINS

Cool man, tell us how the new Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe(minus the flying telephone ) commentary track is.
