Fuzzy, you took the words right out of my mouth! There are plenty left, it will pain some to hear heh heh.

This is exactly the way I feel about it. I got my first DVD player just one year ago ($25 on a BF sale) and have the luxury of having a big Wishlist. Doubtless it is easier for someone like myself, who can comfortably limit Warner titles to Digipacks — and still not exhaust all the other titles on my Wishlist.

But oh baby, when Warner gets religion and starts issuing them in plastic, I'll be thrilled! http://www.intergate.com/~tobeornot2...MA/oYUPNOD.gif http://www.intergate.com/~tobeornot2...APPYSQUINT.gif

I eagerly look forward to it, since I have about 50 Warner titles, including:

• A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
• CABARET
• CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
• CLASH OF THE TITANS
• FULL METAL JACKET
• GYPSY
• KISS ME KATE
• L.A. CONFIDENTIAL
• MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY
• SWEENEY TODD
• THE 7 FACES OF DR. LAO
• THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES
• THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING
• THE MISTS OF AVALON
• THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE
• THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN
• THE WIND AND THE LION

— that I look forward to owning, but can wait for in any event.

Three other Warner titles:

• FINIAN'S RAINBOW
• GOODBYE MR. CHIPS (1969 version with Petula Clark & Peter O'Toole)
• KING SOLOMON'S MINES (1950 version with Stewart Granger & Deborah Kerr)

— that are not currently out on DVD I am hoping against hope will get Keep Cases when they do come out!

PEACH

isnt halloween 2 keepcase

I don't really care. If I have snappers of movies that are released in keep cases, I don't care. But as far as avoiding movies that come out in snappers NOW, I dunno, I hardly ever have to buy snappers anymore because they're not really a widely used case anymore. The last DVD I bought in a snapper was Scooby Doo 2, and hell, it was a while before that, that I had to buy a snapper. So, no biggy. If a movie I really want comes out in a snapper, I'm not going to hold out. Sure the packaging stinks but it doesn't ruin the movie for me.

I think they're fine. Not quite as attractive as keepcases perhaps. But they hub mechanisms are less lethal to discs than some keepcases have, and most certainly better than the disc-eating "digistaks" which shatter the disc hubs as they're packed in the factories!

The biggest bind about snapper cases is that, if you have a lot on the shelf fairly tightly packed, taking one out usually means three or four others pull out with it as the plastic edges catch each other.

My Halloween II (Goodtimes) was in a snapper, I think that there were several Goodtimes discs re-released in keepcases, but the Universal version looks to be better anyway.
Are you sure about that? All of the copies of Scooby Doo 2 I have seen were in keepcases. The original movie was in a snapper (which I own.)

I buy DVD's for the movies. With or without inserts, with or without snappers, with or without features. The only thing that will influence my decision in purchasing a movie which I like is whether the transfer or audio is acceptable or not.

End of story.

Choosing to not buy a DVD because of the style of case is about as rational an idea as refusing to see a movie at a theater because you don't like the color of the carpet in the lobby.

the long version of "WTF"

I think

not buyign a movie becuase of a snapper = -screwy- I'm anal about cases but not THAT anal :p

aam1,

I think he's saying, "That's so fucked".

i hated them because they had a 'no-class' look about them.
worse-you pull one out to view- and the plastic edges catch and pull out 3 other cases (assuming you have several of them in a row)

when the kids get hold of them, they pretty soon get wrecked-torn, kool aid, peanut butter fingerprints etc.
With a keep case when it starts to look bad, you pull out the insert and buy a new case-looks good as new

What a strange thread resurrection more than three years later.

I wish HD DVD would have adopted snappers as their standard. They could have referred to them as "Red Snappers." Who knows, Warner may have not gone Blu?

Wrong forum... ;)
