The 2 disc version looks like it has a lenticular cover, because you could faintly see some images

I'm sure Filmmaker will be picking this one up.

BD day and date?

You bet; it will be my favorite DVD in my collection...












...for me to poop on!

This looked entertaining, but didn't see it theatrically-- nor would I now. But I have to say, that cover art is among the nicest I have seen. Beautiful design. And the lenticular effect, if that's what it is, is a great touch. Been number one at the box office for weeks, so it must be pretty good. Tempted to get it as a blind buy.

You'd think, wouldn't you?

Don't worry Filmmaker, maybe your wife will break this DVD of yours.

We get it...you don't like the movie.

Stop threadcrapping!

Very Enjoyable Flick.
Will be Glad to add this movie to my DVD collection.

And spoil all the fun of doing it myself?

I believe the post "I'm sure Filmmaker will be picking this one up" drew first thread-crapping blood (not that I minded; I laughed too).

Filmmaker, I would like nothing more than if you recorded your own commentary for this movie and posted it here in MP3 format.

to hear him nitpick every scene would actually be quite funny. I thought the movie was 'meh'

Is that pharaoh on the cover Larry's gay friend from The War at Home?

A quick IMDB check reveals that the answer is yes.

Oh, Filmmaker. Well, you can't ALWAYS be right. Night at the Museum was the best family movie this year. You must have had sand in your hoo-hah when you watched it.

I actually thought 'Ant Bully' was the 'best' family movie of the year.

The end credits of CHARLOTTE'S WEB were more meaningful and substantial than the totality of NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, my good friend, Mr. VanSciver.

We should probably keep the discussion of the film's merits itself to the movie talk thread, and reserve this thread for the DVD discussion.

First blood; I'm just sayin'...

Recently had an opportunity to see this, and while it was entertaining, I don't think I'm going to bother when it's released. Not quite good enough to justify the kind of expense the two-disc will likely command.

One question, though: Do I have a false memory, or was there a trailer for Museum that had an aspect ratio of 2.35:1? The movie is 1.85:1, and though the framing looked fine, I was sure there had been a modification.

I know scope movies often have trailers that don't match the aspect ratio of the movies themselves, but have you ever seen a 2.35:1 trailer for a 1.85:1 movie?

--THX

The release is quicker than I expected based on strength of box office, but I will pick up the two disc. I enjoyed the movie a lot, and the extras sound interesting enough. Count me in.
