Soon every movie will have a slipcover.

One of my questions was if anyone used to have a need for slipcovers and then at some point no longer cared?

They become scratched if you keep sliding them in between two other cases (corners get boogered up too) and if you want to keep them, they're ultimately just another thing to box up and throw in the attic. I order a lot from Hong Kong and it appears many DVDs sold there have slipcovers. I keep them but they're nothing special and actually annoying to find space for.

You say that you hate slipcovers, yet you only buy DVDs with them on? What an oxymoron...

That was a quote from another forum, the first one. I didn't want it to be put in "quotes"

So that means you don't have any of the Pooh movies as they don't come with slipcovers. What about some of the Pixar movies that don't have slipcovers. It's nice to have a slipcover but I buy a movie for the movie and not the slipcover.

Talk about wierd, here's one. When I bought The Incredibles, at Best Buy, it didn't have slipcover. Went there yesterday and apparently the Full Screen has a slipcover but not the widescreen.

Some say poTAYto, some say poTARto

Some say toMAYto, some say toMARto

Some say attractive, some say waste of time, money, effort, life and a pile of old bollocks

Don't you just love differences is the way people pronounce things? ;)

Lets not be bitter. It's not my fault that your movie flopped and my third favourite filmed is one of the highest grossing movies ever! 8)

Yeah, and Star Wars is the highest grossing film of all time, Shrek 2 is the highest grossing animated film of all time and Titanic won 11 oscars.

That shows you how much box offices and ackelades contribute to the film industry and the decision about whether a film is succesful! :wink:

Uh oh... We're opening up a whole other can of worms... I love Star Wars and Titanic. I even like Shrek 2, but I won't defend it's stupidity! :D It still doesn't change the fact that you're bitter 'casue Home on the Range flopped! :P

Who said I'm bitter?

I don't care how many people saw it, I love this film end of discussion.

In fact I pity those who haven't seen it, they don't know what they're missing. Plus It's makes me feel special that I am privileged to be one of the few who have seen it! ;)

Which i more than I can say for that cheap whore of a mermaid who has been seen by half the population of the Earth. ;)

[Turns angry like Phil] Watch it pal... Ariel is not cheap! She doesn't have cheap entertainment in her movie! She'd also knock your cows dead with her fins! :twisted: Besides, she's a princess, which is obviously superior to your farm heroines! :lol:
