Did you find the kid? Was the toss accomplished?

[ExGeeEye]

That one is Hi-Larious.

Onliest time I actually was in danger of falling off a chair laughing. Especially when the guy's truck... gets away from him and rolls up and down hills with the bewildered girl in it...

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Not yet, can't catch up to him in this damn-d wheelchair!

[HairOfTheDog]

You just need a more compliant kid.

[HairOfTheDog]

It's a classic movie... I think Rosie will really like it :~)

[ExGeeEye]

Me too. I have Theatrical Fullscreen, Theatrical Widescreen, and EE. If somebody wants to show me a new documentary, great...but twice is enough to see the "special features" on the discs I have, and I only watch The Movies any more.

And I abominate double-sided discs.

[ExGeeEye]

Yes!

Who's got Sean Astin's number?

[300winmag]

Even among the diehards...I wonder how many will really buy this.

I did. It's my way of honoring Tolkien, and PJ (despite the liberties he had to take with the book).

[HairOfTheDog]

Here's the explanation, as much sense as it makes :~)

ALREADY OWN BOTH VERSIONS OF EACH FILM. WHY DOESN'T NEW LINE JUST RELEASE THE DOCUMENTARIES?

Having unprecedented access to the cast and crew during film production inevitably means that there are some restrictions. In this case, releasing these documentaries unaccompanied by the film would be nearly impossible because of agreements that are in place with the cast and crew. We wanted to make the documentaries available while also giving the fans something they don't have, which is why we included both versions of the film on one disc.

[HairOfTheDog]

I like to agree they all deserve a lot of money, but he's pushin' us!

[300winmag]

And I abominate double-sided discs.

That is the one part of this deal I dislike. What's wrong with another buck for a couple more platters? Unless this is pushed as a "convience" so people just have to choose which side to play.

[ExGeeEye]

I betcha you have to flip the thing over half-way through no matter which version you've picked.

[JenB]

He's only pushing as far as we'll let him, you know. If nobody bought these disks maybe he'd bring out the blooper reel plus documentaries plus special restored super secret extended edition movies.

[RMDupree]

I see. Hmmm....well then, I guess I'll have to discuss it with my better-half first. ;-)

I bought a couple of DVDs that were on sale for $7.99 apiece at Fred Meyer today.

The Last Unicorn - I've loved this film since I was a kidlet. Really hoping the live-action version gets back on track soon!

The Wedding Singer - damn funny. What else needs to be said?

Beetlejuice - replaced the one that got broken during the move. Becky loves it. I find it mildly annoying, but mostly harmless. ;-)

Heh, I did the same thing... I always check the bargain racks when I go in there. Today I picked up The Gods Must Be Crazy and The Bear.

And our South Park Season 8 will be here from Amazon tomorrow!

[RosieCotton]

Fred Meyer's had some decent sales on DVDs lately. I bought Galaxy Quest the other day...just 'cause it's funny. Almost bought Reign of Fire, too...but I know I mostly just like that one for the eye candy (and ear candy in Gerard Butler's case...), so I didn't...but I'll probably weaken one of these days.

Wish they had more older movies on the sale rack. There are plenty of those I'd like to have.

[RosieCotton]

I still haven't ordered from Amazon. Still baffled by choices. Ack!

[HairOfTheDog]

We should watch that next time...bring it back over :~)

[RosieCotton]

Will do. ;-)

Goooood morning Hobbit Hole!

Another day of rain here. It's Wednesday though so that's cheering.
