I wasnגt expecting to be doing this thread this week since I thought Andvil would be back, but he has informed me that he really has no interest in doing it anymore. I can understand where heגs coming from, as it is extremely time consuming. I told him I enjoy doing it, so as long as thereגs no objections from anyone, Iגll try and keep doing it each and every week.
If you have any suggestions for this weekly thread, let me know. Am I posting too many titles? Should I do a set number each week? Should I skip DVD only releases and only post whatגs available on Blu-ray?
Everyone seems to like the גDump the DVDג section, so Iגll continue that.

Dan's DVD Picks for March 6, 2012

Pre-ordered Game of Thrones & To Catch A Thief. Hopefully they keep putting out more Hitchcock on blu, rumored that we're getting Vertigo The Birds later this year. (Also, pretty sure Criterion has the rights to Foreign Correspondent so that one's pretty likely as well).

Nice that someone rereleased Grave of the Fireflies, anyone who thinks cartoons are only for kids needs to watch this.

Did anyone here see Immortals? gutted I missed it in theaters, love everything Tarsem has done prior.

And Dan, about your comments regarding this thread.
Personally I think the more releases you list the better, everyone has different tastes, I'm probably more interested in the blu-ray rereleases than anything but there are a lot of posters here that still ony have dvd players. You're the one putting in the work though so really its whatever you want to do.

thanks for keeping the thread alive and many many thanks to Andvil for doing it for as long as he did.

Yeah, I think the way you've got it set up is smart, arranging releases from the best to the trashiest on the way down. No complaints here, I love checking this weekly post.

Duh, hey Tennessee, how about another riddle?

Good job Dan!

Adventure Time: It Came from the Nightosphere (2010)

Iגve never seen this show, but apparently this is just a random collection of episodes rather than a season set. I hate when studios do that and would never support these types of releases, but if youגre a fan, maybe you donגt care and just want whatever they put out.

Product Description:
The Cartoon Network's Emmy(R) nominated series that centers on the post apocalyptic adventures of Finn, a human boy with a funny hat, and his friend Jake, a magic and mischievous dog, comes back to DVD in "It Came from the Nightosphere", packed with 16 new, fun, and exciting episodes from the three magical seasons.

This show is funny as fuck if you smoke a lot of pot.

is Recoil the one with the robotic insects?

Anyone know about the transfer on the plan 9?

I saw a trailer for a new(?) Manos the hands of fate that looked fucking pristine

I really dig painstaking loving restoration of notoriously bad movies

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll keep doing it the way I've been doing it.

Only ever saw the MST3K version of Manos, which Shout Factory just put out a special edition of, is that what you are referring to?
I agree though, I want every shitty movie to get put out in hi-def. Getting demo-quality copies of the Ernest movies last year was a highlight.

I feel like there should be a "Dan, you're the man" emoticon created.

watched this the other night at home in 3D and the shit was visually spectacular, but the acting and some of the characters were not up to par imo.

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:55 am**

Im a big fan of tarsem singh or tarsem or whatever the fuck he calls himself. I thought immortals was dope as shit. It really hammered home a sort of mythological feeling and the action was off the chain. It was pretty nuch what 300 wanted to be but didnt have the skills to back up

Picked up Games of Thrones and Miami Vice so far.

Will rent Foot Loose because it does not look as good as the Step up series.

Waiting for Senna on blu ray or might just buy the UK version or something. The only thing missing is the interview he gave about the 88? Monoco quilifing lap where he talked about he was going so fast that he was scared for the first time in his life behind the wheel.
