Best Buy and other stores will be open New Year's Day. At least that's how I remember it in the past.

Sounds like a placeholder date though, no?

Re: Looper (2012) - January 1st!

Finally got to see this on Blu yesterday - great film!

Question for those who have watched the disc - did you notice any flickering in the image on some outdoor scenes by the farmhouse? I don't have timecode, but I noticed this later in the film when

Spoiler:

young Joe is outside with the mother right after the kid has one of his big TK events falling down the stairs.


I don't think it's my setup as I watched two other movies yesterday and did not observe this, plus it only seemed to happen on certain shots.

Everyone should check this out:
If you highlight the special feature "'Looper' Animated Trailer" and toggle "up" on your remote, a blunderbuss shotgun will appear above the menu bar. Clicking enter on the blunderbuss will trigger Rian Johnson's first short film, the eight-minute black & white 'Evil Demon Golfball From Hell!!!' from 1996. Enjoy!

Good gravy, this is the first easter egg I've heard about in ages. Thought the easter egg died out when it came to blu movies.

How many easter eggs do exist on BD?

Quite a few. Mission: Impossible III has 7, three of which aren't on the DVD version. Hell, even Mad Men season 5 has a couple.
