I prefer BVDs, myself. They give me good support without being too constricting, though the color selection is limited.
So buy a bunch of white ones and dye them yourself! Lazy Bostonians...sheesh!

I want to change my labtom to have the Blu-Roy desk drove. As far as I'm concerned, you can take or leave the Bly-roo. There's too many bugs in that system.

You should really get on that. We can have sashes and hats. I am in need of some ego stroking. Also, batteries.
Speaking of hats, I bought a new newsboy cap the other day, and impulsively decided to get another fedora as well.
And batteries are in short supply, I hear. That Susan Walker uses them up too quickly when she's thinking of Angus Deayton, even if she's in a happy understanding with Steven and the baby.

Not as racist as "Pete's Dragon". The Gogans make the hillbilly rodents look like frickin' Rhodes Scholars.

I'll bet all these Blu-Ray name variations will soon get their entry in the Oxford English Dictionary ... as well as a cult following. Much like the Multi-Coloured Deliciously Evil UD Approved Lollipop.

Psh, that's not my style (Also, by birthright, I'm a lazy Pittsburgher). Why dye when American Apparel has fun colors to begin with? They're so pretty. Like Easter Egg underwear.
Also, I didn't even know BVDs still existed until I just looked them up... they apparently do have colors, but lame ones. Go figure.

Yes... A FEW OF US. Also, it's AAs, isn't it?

Ooh, sounds sexy! Like an Asian Indiana Jones, or perhaps a token Asian newsboy from "Newsies".

Simply called "Asian" for the sake of giving a token Asian kid a name so bad Crutchy feels better about his.

But I can't be the token Asian. What would happen to Swifty?
And I have been called Asian Indy before. Mostly in 2005 when I wore my tacky tourist hat (which was fedora-ish) virtually every day. I wore it again in 2006 and 2008 (in 2007 I chose to retire the hat for awhile).

Did it go into the Scapsta Vault?
Fun pic though.

Yeah, my boyfriend has a hat like that one... we call him Indiana Jew.
And you can be the other token Asian newsboy. Now we just need a toen tomboy newsie. I'll be the token homo newsie.
...well, the openly gay one.

Yeah, but only for a year. Other things in the Scapsta Vault include a horrid sweater I haven't worn since I got for Christmas a couple years ago, as well as a rather nice leather jacket that I don't wear because not many occasions in my life call for a leather jacket (to date, I think I only wore it five times, for like, the past five Christmases).

I remember a Sesame Street holiday special (likely for Passover) where they had a "Jerusalem Jones".

Gotta love token minorities.
But I don't want to be the
other token. I'll be THE token.

The Rescuers as 2-disc edition? I wouldn't count on it. It's one of the most neglected films in the Disney canon. Like all films made between 1967 and 1989, by the way. In Disney's eyes, they don't count.

If the second disc is a frakkin' digital copy, then it'd be believable with Disney today.

They didn't think it was wise to waste the money on a Digital Copy for Oliver and Company, so that's not really likely, either.

Well, they think it's wise to waste money on a Digital Copy for The Tigger Movie... so.

But they will for the "Tigger Movie - 10th Anniversary Edition". Do they randomly select the re-releases with which they attach a digital file to?

Could someone please explain to me Disney's marketing logic concerning DVDs?

As I understand it, there's a dart board with things like "digital copy" and "new set-top game" written on it. In the middle, there's a tiny target that reads "substantial two-disc edition". Once in a while, Mickey gets liquored up and is given a handful of darts, and that's pretty much how it goes.

OH, they're doing it for the Tigger Movie? There has to be something that propels the studio to that one, then.

I just realized I don't think disney releases digital copies where I live. I am ever-so-slightly jealous
