AIRPLANE!!!!

One of the funniest movies ever made!

The 40-Year-Old Virgin looks pretty funny as well. But I think I'll rent it first.

Don't worry Pals, I'll get at least 1 Simpsons season eventually!

This week, I intend to buy...

The Munsters: The Complete 1st Season

And maybe one or two DVDs on my Amazon Wish List (I haven't decided which ones yet. I'll probably chose closer to Thursday)

Hopefully The Simpsons 7th Season, in the box.

I'm going to get Sin City for sure Tuesday! I'll pick up Simpsons sometime after Christmas.

The main 2 that intrest me are The Island and Bad News Bears.
I am not ready to double dip on Sin City or Airplane.
Valiant was a pretty bad movie, Krunk may be a christmas gift for the kids

Kronk´s new groove
I just watched a still of Little Kronk...why does al little characters have so huge heads?

Dammit, I saw Sin City and Airplane at Sears YESTERDAY and could have gotten them early!

Anyways, I did the bulk of my Christmas shopping yesterday, so I don't have much for DVDs and my parents don't like me buying DVDs (to the point where we're all banned from buying them for anyone on Christmas and we're banned from buying them *in their presence*, which means I gotta sneak around).

But if I were gonna buy things on Tuesday, it'd most likely just be Sin City: EE and Airplane: DCMSE

Save your money on the *remake* of the Bad News Bears and buy the original if you don't already have it.

Simpsons 7th Season is already on its way. Not that I'm in a hurry to get it. But I always get a certain feel of getting a new Season when it comes out.... plus I "need" Marge's head.

PS

Also Thundercats Vol. 2 will come on the same package.

Memnv, I don't think that "Sin City" is a double-dip considering that this edition has added almost two hours to the original and there will be ton of extras. And I agree, don't waste your money on "Bad News Bears", the original is so much better. And "Kronk" is a Direct-to-Video release - I would put that on my rent before buying list.

I thought the extended cut was 142 minutes long, whereas the original cut is around the 120ish minutes long.

I think I'll buy Kronk's New Groove

However, I don't think I'll be getting the new editions of The Empoerors New Groove and Tarzan.....they don't compare to the collector's editions, right? (I think I read that on the forum a couple weeks ago)

You are so right Escapay. I was reading and trying to convert time to minutes and hours and got all fouled up. Thanks for the correction. I feel pretty dumb, at this point.

What they have done is offered all four stories in their complete form in order, and thusly, you can now skip the boring one (Yellow Bastard), and watch the movie in portions or in its entirety.

It is all the extras that are being offered that make this edition of "Sin City" worth the 'new' buy.

Of course, there are some of us who will keep what we have and just rent the other version.

Thanks again, Escapay.

Picked up:

Airplane-Don't Call Me Shirley Edition
The Simpson's-Season 7
The 40-Year-Old Virgin-Unrated
Elvis-He Touched Me
National Lampoon's Vacation
The Hitcher
Kentucky Fried Movie

Well that is what the box says, however it has already being reviewd and it is only about 5 minutes longer. The 23 minutes they say on the back includes credits and since it is now individual stories there are more credits. It is marketing BS to help sell it better.

Definitley picking up Sin City: Recut, Extended, Unrated! I have been waiting for what seems a lifetime for this one!

I'm also picking up The 40-Year Old Virgin as a gift for my brother. I'm pretty sure it'll be the regular R-rated version, because, as Laz stated, one of it's great qualities because it was a, follow me on this one, wholesome sex comedy. ...and I'm sort of serious on that comment.

So you would stick with a Fullscreen DVD rather than get an Unrated one?

I already have the Origional of the Bad News Bears and I saw the remake in theaters and I liked it. I think I will order it from Columbia House to help finish my commitment.

I picked up the Island and I think I will try to rent the New version of Sin City

Found a review at ign, here's a snippet about the extended sequences: (DON'T READ IF YOU NEVER SAW THE FILM)

The main attraction is the "recut and extended" versions of the stories which are advertised as adding 23 minutes to the overall run time, but before you get too excited you should know that this number is a bit misleading. By my tally, the total of the four separate chapters clocks in approximately 20-1/2 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, but each segment now has their own end credit crawl. Eliminating the titles and end credits leaves a net gain of new and extended scenes amounting to about 10-1/2 minutes - not exactly the promised 23 minutes.

Meanwhile, the picture is presented in the same 1.85:1 anamorphic format and looks to be the same quality as the feature. The only audio option is the Dolby 5.1 Surround track and it's akin to the main feature, that being not as good as DTS. All but the first segment have chapter stops

The Customer Is Always Right (8:32) includes the bookend segments which opened and closed the film, but without knowing what Becky (Alexis Bledel) had done in The Big Fat Kill, the elevator scene doesn't make much sense on its own.

The Hard Goodbye's (40:57) most noticeable new scene is when Marv sneaks home to get his gun, Gladys, from his mother's apartment and The Big Fat Kill (44:55) picks up an expanded opening scene in Shelly's apartment and an excellent coda with Miho that really, really, really should've been included in the original version.

That Yellow Bastard (47:27) has scenes of Hartigan in the hospital that links the halves as they appeared in the original melded cut. Marv's parole officer, Lucille (Carla Gugino) also shows here and we catch a glimpse of her girlfriend. Of the quartet of chapters, this one suffers a bit in the pacing department as it picks up the most new footage and it slows the tempo a hair too much.

Can't say I'm impressed that 23 extra minutes is really just 10 minutes...

What did they add to the Garfield movie to make it a "Purrfect Collector's Edition"? I want Kronk's New Groove
