And let us not forget the... by Jaka	Nov 22nd, 2006 11:21:35 PM
..."Buy It Now" button on eBay and the always entertaining eBay stores. I've been picking up geektastic Christmas items for a couple weeks. Brand new, just released, geektacular goodness, for often just a couple dollars over wholesale (plus shipping).
Son-bitch! by WONKABAR	Nov 22nd, 2006 11:58:55 PM
I just bought the Dazed and Confused/Fast-Times party-pack not too long ago...god damnit!
Wake-up call: Little Miss Sunshine was a bad movie by Dannychico	Nov 23rd, 2006 12:02:14 AM
Just riddled with cliches, coincidences, and eye-rolling plot contrivances. But it DID have Alan Arkin - I'll give it that.
Wake-up call: You're A Douchebag by chimcham3000	Nov 23rd, 2006 02:02:28 AM
if you sat through Little Miss Sunshine and didn't have a good time then i would have to say that you're a completely joyless cunt.
Pirates commentary by Franklin T Marmoset	Nov 23rd, 2006 02:11:45 AM
I listened to this last night, and I thought the writers commentary was actually pretty interesting. It cleared up some of the murkiness of the story and also gave a few hints at what might happen in the next film. Mind you, one of them goes HA HA HA quite a bit and is clearly the pants-wearer in the relationship.
you forgot... by roxyprime	Nov 23rd, 2006 02:24:00 AM
how can you forget...darth vader making a snow death star!!! SNOW DEATH STAR!! with a santa hat! totally top of my list! http://www.wickedcoolstuff.com /sta300018.html
Lost Figures by Black Satin 2	Nov 23rd, 2006 05:29:51 AM
Where's Sayid, Jin, Sun and Eko. Especially Eko holding his stick. How much you think they'll charge on that one?
Thanks Quint! by Jimmie Dimmick	Nov 23rd, 2006 06:25:02 AM
This is my favorite article of the year...always!
STAR WARS OT on DVD as single disc by Mace Tofu	Nov 23rd, 2006 07:51:48 AM
Bend over and grab your ankles because the STAR WARS site has a notice that the Original 3 are out this Thanksgiving as specialy priced singles without the Special edition disc. Let the ass raping begin!
Little miss sunshine by emeraldboy	Nov 23rd, 2006 08:47:10 AM
Is on my list of the best films of the year 2006, thanks to the EFD/Wardanderson row i didnt get to see The Departed. As a fantasy fan I cant wait to Pans Labyrinth. Alan Arkin Deserves an Oscar and he deserves A liftime achievement award. ONe of the finest character actors america has ever produced.
chimcham3000 got it right! by jrbarker	Nov 23rd, 2006 12:35:13 PM
bugger off Dannychico,,,
Superman "Ultimate" set has MAJOR problems! by Karl Hungus	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:39:22 PM
Not only is the original 1978 sound mix of Superman The Movie missing, so is the entire new disc of Superman III! In R1, Warners shipped the old, unenhanced version, so all the commentary and deleted scenes are missing. For such a hyped set, this is a major botch job! I can't believe Quint is recommending you buy such a faulty product.
Pirate's game wasn't invented for Dead Man's Chest by zacdilone	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:49:20 PM
I played it in England a few years before POTC2 came out.
PotC invented game? by NetSlut	Nov 23rd, 2006 02:13:10 PM
Honestly, are you the only person on the planet that didn't know that PotC used the game 'Perudo' -- at least 500 years old -- in the film?
Buy Quint pwesents by CarmillaVonDoom	Nov 23rd, 2006 03:08:27 PM
Hee hee xoxo Quint. Seriously, Clerks II was awful. I met Rosario Dawson this Summer (HeroesCon, NC), and she seemed embarassed when someone asked her about it.
A Book for my stocking: PETER JACKSONS autobiography! by NarniaKid	Nov 23rd, 2006 09:00:55 PM
Surprised Quint hasnt mentioned this one but maybe there hasn't been the hype over its release in the US like there is here in NZ. Looks like you guys can get it on Amazon. It authorised so it'll be full of genuine insights into the movie industry and how he got the passion he has for making flicks :)
MAJOR problem with Superman box set!!!! by evilbaby	Nov 24th, 2006 01:27:20 PM
There are reports popping up all over the place that there is a big problem with the ultimate Superman box set. The "Superman III" DVD is in fact the OLD bare bones disc even though the art says it's the "deluxe edition." No word if this will affect every set in Region 1 or even if the separate release of "Superman III: deluxe edition" will just be the old version. Warner Brothers has screwed this one up badly.
My list by hallmitchell	Nov 24th, 2006 01:42:12 PM
My list would be. 1. Justice by Alex Ross. 2. TaunTaun statue with Han Solo. 3. Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan. 4. Stephen King's book Cell. 5. X men 3 on DVD. 6. PC game. Operation Joint Task Force. 7. The Haunting - 1963 Version on DVD. 8. Miami Vice. DvD.
The REAL problem with the Superman box set by The Funketeer	Nov 24th, 2006 09:18:36 PM
I've heard reports on the net saying that Superman III is included in the set.
All those Janus movies... by TopHat	Nov 25th, 2006 04:10:43 AM
...have played either on TCM or Sundance Channel. Just buy a seven dollar pack of eight hour VHS.
a few more suggestions... by Yamtastic	Nov 25th, 2006 07:34:37 AM
I look forward every year to this holiday gift guide. It's a great list and a lot of it is on my wish list but there are a few other items people might want to take a look at. They can all be found on Amazon.com. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Arcade Pinball - a quality home pinball game with a wooden cabinet, a multi-level playing field and LCD scoring display. Johnny Cash At San Quentin (Legacy Edition) - a new 2 CD/1 DVD set containing the entire concert with Cash and his stage show. How I Conquered Your Planet (Paperback) - hilarious new book by famed Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder. Bill's Demon Sword from Kill Bill vol. 1 & 2 Hattori Hanzo Katana with Demon Etched Scabbard Free Stand - A great piece of movie memorabilia and a steal at only $24.00.
Agent Sith / evilbaby by Karl Hungus	Nov 25th, 2006 09:41:12 AM
Agent Sith: The scene you refer to "He was just a boy, etc." is NOT in the Richard Donner Cut of Superman II. This new cut is a poorly edited mess. /// evilbaby: Thanks for confirming almost exactly what I said a day earlier than you. It appears that all Ultimate "Kryp-tin" sets have the error (along with the missing 1978 mix of Superman The Movie). However, the stand-alone release and Christopher Reeve Collection sets have the correct SIII disc in it. For me, the biggest mistake with this release is the lack of the promised 1978 sound mix. This WAS my most anticipated DVD release for the holidays. No more.
Karl Hungus by evilbaby	Nov 25th, 2006 02:01:50 PM
Sorry that I have a life and don't read EVERY SINGLE POST on this site and therefore missed what you had said. I did not see anything from you in this particular case so I thought it wise to mention it.
evilbaby by Karl Hungus	Nov 25th, 2006 05:12:57 PM
Seems like you can't read at all. I THANKED you for confirming what I already reported. Oh, and anyone who posts on AICN (yes, including me) automatically waives the right to use the any form of the phrase "I have a life."
Where are the Brokeback Mountain action figures? by Spandau Belly	Nov 27th, 2006 02:44:11 PM
That's what I'm getting for my office Secret Santa.
TWENTY BUCKS by cocolopez	Nov 28th, 2006 08:08:50 AM
for four plastic cups and some dice? Are you actually suggesting this as a gift?
Statement from Warner Home Video, November 27, 2006 by boyblue	Nov 28th, 2006 08:26:56 AM
Bonus content was omitted from the "Superman III Deluxe Edition" in the 14-disc "Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition." Furthermore, disc one of "Superman: The Movie Four Disc Special Edition" did not include the Dolby Digital 2.0 mix. Neither disc is known to be physically defective in any way. Warner Home Video wants to extend apologies to all of our loyal Superman fans who've waited so patiently for these great collections and has taken immediate steps to correct these errors with the intention of standing behind our product 100%. Replacement discs can be obtained by calling: 800-553-6937. The exchange program applies only to purchases of the "Superman III Deluxe Edition" in the "Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition" and to disc one of "Superman: The Movie Four Disc Special Edition," available as a single title, as well as in "The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection" and in the "Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition."
