The DVD/Blu-Ray Thread

What's My Name Is Bruce about then? I love a bit of Bruce Campbell and haven't heard of this one before.

Basically a group of kids unleash a Chinese war spirit on a small town and their solution is to kidnap their hero Bruce Campbell from the Evil Dead films to help them destroy it. Thing is Campbell thinks it's all a set up until he realises it really isn't and finally must help the community defeat the monster.

I've been wanting to see this for a long time, a full length Bruce Campbell film directed by the man himself, it should be quality (well for fans of Bruce anyway).

Sounds great.

Sounds like a rip off of The Three Amigos tbh.

But with added Bruce Campbell!

Quick question - why is it so bloody hard to get hold of Disney DVDs on the internet? I've been looking for Beauty and the Beast for my girlfriend for Valentine's day, and I can only find it in R2 format for £45-60 second hand. It's a pain in the arse

The disc is out of print so people will keep asking for insane prices until they release a new batch at some point in the future unfortunately.

Indeed, Disney DVDs are very weird like that. They have very limited runs and become like gold-dust to get hold of.

[Dowbocop]

Cheers guys. Bollocks to the situation though, what am I going to get the missus?

True Blood Season 1 (R1/US BD) in May

HBO have announced the US DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of True Blood Season 1 on 19th May 2009.

Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron - 173-year old Bill Compton (Steven Moyer) - and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other.

Priced at $59.99 SRP on DVD and $79.98 SRP on Blu-ray Disc, extras include:
