New DVD Thread X - Sharkey's Revenge.

[Escapay]

Man, I need more money. These are two releases that I want to pick up, as well. Although I never made it to the theaters to see Arthur and the Invisibles, I still plan to buy the DVD, mainly because it's Madonna's first appearance as a CGI animated character. You'll have to let me know how the movie is!

I plan on watching it tomorrow during my plane flight to Orlando so I'll let you know this week!

Also, Escapay, I need you to give me some pink dancing elephants for this....

Today, I got my order from FYE.com:



Mrs. Doubtfire: Behind-The-Seams Edition (2-Disc)! My total came to $10.92, because I got $10.00 off for using Google Checkout!

Thanks for the tip on ordering this, Escapay! I'm so glad to finally have this on DVD!!!

Woohoo!



I was perusing through the set last week, and absolutely love all the vintage materials they included (especially Stage A and the Publicity stuff). And be sure to look out for Mrs. Featherbottom.

How is Beauty and the Beast? I'm not completely sure if I should buy it. Also,how are the special features?

Beauty and the Beast is one of those rare gems in television that is a unique and fantastic blend of fantasy, romance, and good ole human drama. It's rather an acquired taste, and can seem quite silly to people new to the series. But it's one of my favorite short-lived tv shows (2.5 seasons, though many fans like to just *forget* about that abbreviated third season), and I'm grateful to finally have it on DVD. And one of my absolute favorite episodes ("Promises of Someday") is on the first season set, making me extra giddy! Last time I saw any of these episodes was the summer of 2001, when Hallmark Channel used to run it weekdays at midnight.

As for the special features...

[Escapay's Sarcasm]The special features are outstanding! I mean, we get original tv spots for the show, which I personally love as they show how CBS masterfully marketed the show on Friday nights (with Dallas and Falcon Crest!). And there's these great isolated scores for select episodes that showcase the sweeping orchestral music. The theme song is one of my favorite things in the show, and one of my favorite tv show themes ever.

I especially love the episode commentaries with Linda Hamilton, Ron Perlman, and Ron Koslow, they offer a lot of great insight into the series as well as fun and enjoyable memoirs of working on the show. However, I'm most grateful for the in-depth 60-minute documentary about the making of Season One, and the shorter featurettes that look at specific aspects of the show like its writing, the wardrobe for the tunnel people, and a look at Vincent's "beastly" make-up. It's a wonderful extras-filled set for one of the most underrated fantasy series ever. [/Escapay's Sarcasm]

Yeah...no special features. Which totally sucks.

Thanks for the pink dancing elephants!

Have a safe trip! I can't wait to hear your review of Arthur and the Invisibles.

I actually put Mrs. Doubtfire in the DVD player, this evening, and have watched about half of it. It is a wonderful transfer, that's for sure. I didn't expect for it to look as good as it does.

Man, I love this film! It's just so freaking funny and touching.

Got Mrs. Doubtfire for $19.99 at F.Y.E. One wonders if Fox delayed the release to incorporate the deleted scenes back into the movie, a la Big and That Thing You Do...

Online or in-store? I'm making a trip to the mall tomorrow and was hoping to find a copy at my local F.Y.E.

I guess I could have waited until I went and looked myself, but I'm just too curious! I haven't seen this movie in it's entirety in years and I'm just dying to watch it! It's just brilliant, to say the least.

If that's the case, maybe they can also include the Chris Columbus commentary from the old DVD as well, along with the originally announced Robin Williams/Marsha Garces Williams commentary, the also-announced-but-no-show gag reel, and the deleted scene and cast interviews from the old DVD that weren't carried over to the new one.

Anyway...

Cinema Paradiso: Two-Disc Deluxe Edition - I would've gotten the Limited Edition (with soundtrack CD and some recipe cards and other non-DVD materials), but I figured I'd hardly ever look at the non-DVD stuff, and I can just get the soundtrack on its own, with its price making up the difference between the Deluxe and the Limited Edition.

In-store. I went to two different stores, and they both had it. Only difference was one had it for $22.99, and one had it for $19.99. Both stores had only one copy.

Do you have The Meaning of Life yet? If you care about extras, the 2-disc set is getting hard to find, you might be able to find one used, or order it online from a few stores for about $20.

Got it last year for less than $15. Thanks anyway.
