"You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once."
I didn't get to the blog last week: it was the first week of classes and things were thick. Here's the list of new stuff from last week. I didn't notice anything earthshattering, but you might want to check it out. This week's list can be found here.
Slate has an interesting article on the movies that many Netflix subscribers tend to leave sitting at home unwatched. Check it out here.
DVD Savant has a good article up about DVD menus: a good summary of all the annoying things on DVDs. It can be found here.
Baby Mama (2008) Also on Blu-Ray.
The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Another re-release of this one. It's a favorite of mine, but new bonuses aren't going to cut it for me. No Blu-Ray as of yet.
Cool Hand Luke: Deluxe Edition Also on Blu-Ray.
The Fall (2006) Also on Blu-Ray.
The Forbidden Kingdom Also on Blu-Ray.
How The West Was Won (1962) A new transfer that apparently looks much better than the previous DVD. The Blu-Ray version has the film presented in both conventional widescreen (really wide: 2.89:1) and Smilebox formats. The movie isn't that great, but it's quite the visual spectacle and is getting rave reviews on HD for its picture/sound quality.
Smallville: Season 7 Also on Blu-Ray.
Comments
How the West was Won is also a classic just for who is in it. It is actually one of my favorite movies (very nice tie-in with my dissertation research, also). I might have to re-invest in this disc, since the version I have really isn't that good, and I'm not even picky.
