[dreamdead]

Will rent the new Wong and Heathers (don't think I've ever seen it) and probably Mishima at some point.

[balmakboor]

I recommend:

Girl on a Bridge
Baby It's You
Heathers
Daniel

I'm finally going to check out Mishima. I wonder if that Blu-ray of Gangs of New York is still split over two discs.

[Ezee E]

I like how misleading that Batman cover is.

I should check out Mad Men. But I'll be renting Vantage Point and City of Men.

[balmakboor]

I like how misleading that Batman cover is.

Yep. I didn't even realize what it was at first. That raises a question that I'll raise here, err, because it's been bugging me for a long time. Why hasn't the Adam West tv series come out on DVD yet? I'd love to own that. Big part of my childhood.

[Sycophant]

I'd like to see Vantage Point and Mad Men.

Now's also a good time to repeat that Samurai 7 is utter balls.

[Ivan Drago]

That cover for Vantage Point is awesome.

And I'll be renting My Blueberry Nights and I might buy Batman: The Movie. Yes, you read that right.

[bac0n]

I'm intrigued by the Yukio Mishima stuff. That guy was one odd bird.

[BirdsAteMyFace]

Will check out...


Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
My Blueberry Nights

[soitgoes...]

Both Mishima movies and My Blueberry Nights at some point.

[trotchky]

Might revisit Shotgun Stories.

[origami_mustache]

been wanting to see Mishima for a while now and love the cover art.

[Sxottlan]

Tuesday Weld? What kind of name is that?

And geez, was John Hurt ever young? I think they're trying to make him look like a younger man there, but he still looks in his 40's.

I'd pick up Samurai 7, but those Veridian Collection cases are pretty flimsy. It's already out in a pretty sturdy box set, albeit I'm sure more expensive.

[eternity]

BUY:
None (this is in relation to the WTF of the Week)

RENT:
My Blueberry Nights

WTF of the Week:
Heathers 20th Anniversary for one hell of a groan worthy quote on the cover that literally makes the disc not worth buying.

[Grouchy]

That Hellboy boxed set is totally badass. Both the animated movies are very good, and the figure looks cool.

And yeah, the Batman cover is misleading. They shouldn't be ashamed of that show's campiness, they should bask in it.

[balmakboor]

WTF of the Week:
Heathers 20th Anniversary for one hell of a groan worthy quote on the cover that literally makes the disc not worth buying.

Are you kidding me? Juno is clearly a remake of Heathers.

Just kidding if you can't tell. But since when does some lame-ass marketing idiot cancel out the merits of a great film? (Or nearly great in this case.) Hell, I say buy the DVD, take out the cover, and replace it with one of your own made with Photoshop.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Renting:

My Blueberry Nights
Mishima
Girl on a Bridge (love me some Leconte)
Shotgun Stories

And I'm thinking of seeing Mad Men, but I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to it.

[balmakboor]

Renting:

Girl on a Bridge (love me some Leconte)


Good move to rent it. It's a stunning film, but the Beaver just said the transfer sucks.

[eternity]

Are you kidding me? Juno is clearly a remake of Heathers.

Just kidding if you can't tell. But since when does some lame-ass marketing idiot cancel out the merits of a great film? (Or nearly great in this case.) Hell, I say buy the DVD, take out the cover, and replace it with one of your own made with Photoshop.

Well, I already own it, I was thinking of maybe doing a double dip but probably wasn't going to anyway. That and nothing really caught my eye as a total WTF this week.
