    I haven't seen it, either. I keep meaning to. I'll probably blind purchase it.

    When is that sale, again?

    Oh I just saw that American Lost and Found box set, I've also seen Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces and The King Of Marvin Gardens. And I am definitely buying that set.


    Every time I see that dvd2blu site I cry my eyes out.

    I heard differently, that as long as the release date is within the sale dates they will let you pre-order for 50% off.

    I hope you aren't replacing the dvd for 28 days later cause this movie was shot in standard definition.

    It was a poor effort I admit. I do need to get around to watching it though. Its been on the watch list for a while but I rarely buy new media as it is so something inevitably jumps in front.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Picture's as sharp as you'd expect it, but the sound is amazing. If you saw the movie and enjoyed it, get the Blu-ray.

    Also, there's a shitload of extras on this thing. My God.

    Alien Anthology currently $69.99 on Amazon.

    If the Criterion sale hadn't just hit I'd be all over this. I'm sure it'll drop again at some point when I have less in my "unwatched" pile.

    That's weird, I came into this thread to ask if anyone had Life and, if so, how it compares to Planet Earth.

    Also, just got Breaking Bad seasons one and two in the mail from the U.S. Is season one supposed to be in a slimline case? It's fucking irritating that they're not the same.

    Ugh, Amazon has each of the older Batman films for ten dollars each. So tempted. Yes, I'd buy Forever and B&R just to complete my collection.

    Life is incredible. I'm an animal fanatic so I may be a bit biased, but if you liked Planet Earth then there's no reason for you to not like Life. The footage is incredible. I watched a Bluray rip on my computer, but if you have the actual thing I can't even imagine what that would look like.

    The super slow-mo on there is like the best part.

    Even though it's the UK version (half price or even one third of what they charge here) it comes with Spanish Castilian audio aswell

    I watch all my shit in original version but this way I can either lend the discs to some friends or just re-sell them here
