What a ridiculous narrow-minded elitist comment to make.

Its funny considering he owns the movie "Baseketball"

I think you guys *might* be overreacting. I don't see anything offensive about that assessment. I haven't seen 21, but based on what others have said whose opinion I trust, it doesn't sound like 21 was that good at all.

Also, everyone has stupid titles in their collection - it's a slippery slope to start calling people out on that stuff.

Beer League?

Magnolia?

This is my point. To some Magnolia is great - everyone has their opinion.

Personally I didn't like it and don't own it.

Hopefully we can end the derailment before it gets worse.

So BASEketball gets ripped on, yet Death Wish 3, Silent Night Deadly Night, Clifford, and The Adventures of Ford Fairlane all get free passes? Watch me buy D.C. Cab during the DD 20% sale.

I didn't mean for my comment to be "elitist." Sorry if my wording seemed that way, I was just trying to differentiate a Hollywood-ized movie geared towards the 15-25 group from David Mamet. No harm, no foul.

I'm looking forward to some hi-def JLH boobage.

Sony needs to release Leon before the I Know... movies.

Haha, it was just the first one I saw. No worries we were just razzing you. <3

LOL, brings me back to the 90s when these were the only type of horror films being made. I think I actually prefer the endless remakes today.

Yet more or less true.

That said, I was surprised that I liked 21 a lot more than I expected to. But it's hardly in the same league as House of Games.

The best film of 1999. But that's just me.

I think the whole "younger, less intelligent demographic" comment is offensive, elitist, and ridiculous. And completely untrue.

How so?
It's obvious that House of Games is aimed at a much more intelligent movie audience than 21.

Whenever we do get a date, it should give us an idea of when Universal plans to release Serenity. Hopefully they're both the same day.

Damn. Not sure if I want to pay $60 for it.

Actually, The Insider was the best film of 1999. But I still love Magnolia and would welcome both of those to BD.

Ahh, The Insider. For some of us "old folks" here, that was one of the first oops bargains on DVDs. I believe Amazon was selling it for $0.01. I wound up getting something like 10 copies of that damn movie

I definitely don't want to pay that much for the Firefly BD, much as I like the short-lived series. But the price will come down to something reasonable eventually and then I might replace my DVD set.


Also in the Sci-Fi TV genre, Stargate Continuum (another sequel movie to the 10 season Stargate SG-1 series) has been announced for BD, 7-29-08. At the usual Fox MSRP of $39.98. That's a high price for a movie sequel to a TV series. While I won't buy the DVD, I will wait for a deal to pick the BD up at a reasonable price.

The word I'm hearing now is that it's a two disc set, with one disc serving up the 'normal' version of the movie and the other presented in Smilebox. Either way, you get what you want.

One thing I would say for sure. American Beauty wasn't.

Gotcha -- that's good to know. From what I've read elsewhere, the "SmileBox" presentation -- on a flat screen surface -- actually helps to "un-distort" the image, as it would otherwise appear warped on the sides, due to the shape of the camera lens. I'd imagine, though, that anyone with either a curved screen and/or a black bar masking system would be pretty much driven up the wall trying to compensate for the "SmileBox" picture shape. It's good that WB is also including a rectangular version.

I remember that. I only got 1 copy though you damn cheaters!

And Eyes Wide Shut was the best film of 1999.

The Proposition is now up for pre-order at Amazon.com for $13.95 ($19.95 retail).
