Damn You, Blu-Ray
My next upgrade from the DVD collection has been announced for October 26th ... 'cause, honestly, how can I not have "Alien" and "Aliens" in high definition. Time to start saving my pennies!!!
Dr. Who-Definition!
Needless to say, I am pretty damned excited about this. I am sure that Dr. Phibes is too ... after his visit from Santa this past year. The release date is February 2nd ... less than one month away!!!
Happiest Day of the Year
November 10 is gonna be an excellent day!!!
And yes, I do realized the contradiction of posting about bloody horror in one post and fluffy animation in the next.
When-Oh-When?
Announced initially for May 19th, there is still no word when one of my favorite-est Pixar movies will make it's high definition debut.
Next Week: Watchmen Blu-ray!!!
So ... how excited am I getting about the Blu-ray release of "Watchmen?"
Pretty. Damn. Excited.
Not only will the disc be the director's cut of the film ... it will also include Maximum Movie Mode (which plays the movie along with a video presentation by director Zack Snyder, and includes behind-the-scenes footage, comic comparisons, trivia, etc.).
Three Quickies
1. The H1N1 scare at work ended up being just that ... a scare. We found out on Tuesday that the co-worker didn't have to go get tested after all. Makes me wonder why she told us that she was being tested in the first place.
2. I finished up Season One of "True Blood" and it was really awesome. I am now on to reading the second of the Southern Vampire Mysteries books, "Living Dead in Dallas."
3. Being smitten really sucks ... and I mean REALLY SUCKS.
True Blood-iness
In what little free time I have, I've been watching the first season of the HBO series of "True Blood" ... and it's pretty damn awesome.
It also doesn't hurt that there is some pretty nice eye candy in the show as well.
For the record: Sam Merlotte wins out over Jason Stackhouse ... hands down!
