Re: Disappointing year for DVDs?
Originally posted by PopcornTreeCt Very disappointing year for DVDs. Oh, and Star wars. Yeah, a very dissapointing year indeed. |
I find it a bit disappointint too, but for different reasons than most it would seem. While there are notable exceptions, Star Wars for example, as well as some other big movie releases, it seems most of the hype is about TV sets. I'm happy for all of you who enjoy them so much, but I personally have absolutely no use for them. If I turn on a TV show I want to watch, and it's a repeat, I change the channel. I'm definately not going to pay to watch them. Besides, I built a home MOVIE theater in my basement, not a big-ass TV. ;) Just my opinion.

Just think of the past years, how many good movies can out on DVD that were released in the Theater that same year. Then, there were all the past classics that came to DVD. I know there are allot of DVD titles we can name, but there is not the shear amount we used to have per year. DVDs I am looking forward to buy: 1. JL Starcross 2. Star Wars 3. Spider Man 2 4. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King EE 5. The Passion of the Christ 6. Smallville Season 3 (I am not sure of release date) DVD that I might purchase: 1. Hellboy 2. Batman (1st 28 eps, I already have 2 0r 3 DVDs with about 15 shows total. I hate to pay for something I already have) 3. Monk 1st Season (Never saw it on TV) 4. Dead Zone 1st Season (Never saw it on TV) Not that many for the next 5 1/2 months |
EVERY year is a great DVD year for Heaven's sake. Each year some of the previously unreleased gems we love both wonderful and awful find their way to disc, and all the new blockbusters of the year make their way there as well. Add in the increase in TV on DVD titles, throw in Star Wars and Schindler's List and you have one more GREAT DVD year. Plus the prices are dropping all the time. There is no such thing as a bad year for the medium.

Originally posted by drjay Star Wars (who cares if it's screwed around, we're all gonna buy it) Anyway, I was just wondering, not trying to threadjack or anything, because it seems despite the fans moaning that everyone is going to line up like schmucks to tell Lucas that no matter what, they'll support him. [By the way, this all came out more aggitated than expected. I do respect if some of you want to buy them, it just seems the fans are being so compliant about it. I really am not trying to insult anyone] |
