I bet the whole time he tries to explain why his film is better than anything by Steven Spielberg and how he is truly the most original, amazing director there ever was.

Just a guess! I wouldn't watch this film unless it was free so I'll have to take a look at the reviews once its out to find out what his commentary was like. I'm curious.

That's all they need. 35 more minutes of crap that didn't make the first cut of the crappy movie...

Wow, the first Uwe Boll catalog title. I'm not expecting freakin' Alien yet, but doesn't Fox have better titles to be putting out than this?

Adboy151 09-17-08 06:36 PM

This is more like it.

Specs appear to be the same as the SD version (below).

Well, that approximate $35 price is $5 more than the apparent MSRP of the first X-Files movie, but it's still $5 less than they had been charging for catalog titles.

Maybe they're going to use the $35 price point for titles with enough extras to warrant 2 discs on DVD, with 1-disc DVD equivalents going for $30.

$19.98 MSRP for when The Day the Earth Stood Still was originally released on DVD in 2003. $19.98 for the SE double dip. $34.99 MSRP for the BD original release. Yikes.

This is what happens when Keanu Reeves stars in unnecessary remakes.

This is what happens when studios decide to milk brilliant classics for all they are worth.

I myself just got this on DVD so I will be waiting for a price drop. Maybe they will do a $10 mail-in-rebate? How good is Fox with that sort of thing?

Zen Peckinpah 09-17-08 09:55 PM

Day the Earth Stood Still shall join my Christmas list. Glad to see another studio besides WB putting out older product.

Isn't that the correct term/spelling these days?

mdc3000 09-18-08 08:18 AM

That is the correct spelling...

Skoobooz 09-18-08 09:32 AM

It really is.

Cool, dig both of those comedies.

RE: the pistol-whip line, I was referencing a line in Super Troopers. Extra points if you buy a liter of cola at the same time as the Blu.
