Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, someone talk down to me. What's the difference between this Batman Begins[Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3] - Blu-ray Disc for $19.99 and this Batman Begins[Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3] - Blu-ray Disc for $33.99? Just a prologue?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

From the descriptions, it actually looks like the cheap one has more extras. Maybe the other one is in a collectible box? I have no idea.

Aha. Looking at the covers, I think the pricier one is this "gift set."

The limited-edition Blu-ray gift set includes Blu-Ray high-def exclusive content: The Dark Knight Prologue, plus Hollywood Movie Money to see The Dark Knight in theaters (a $7.50 value), 32-page exclusive Dark Knight Prologue book, 16-page comic book adaptation of the first 6 minutes of The Dark Knight, a Batman Begins lenticular, and five collectible post cards. (Movie Money ticket offer expires 8/18/08. Valid in participating theaters only. Restrictions apply.)

Conclusion: Get the cheaper one. And I love playing detective!

Thanks--certainly nothing I need in the gift set. Not that I have a Blu-ray player yet. But that'll probably be my first purchase.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

This vampire movie sounds kind of neat: [link]

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh. That does look interesting. I hope it will be released here.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw that film reviewed in Newsweek and was intrigued.

We watched The Last King of Scotland a few days ago and I was really impressed. I didn't think I'd like the film when it was released but man, Forest Whitaker (not surprisingly) was impressive. The pacing was good and James McAvoy was also good.

We also watched Taxi to the Darkside, which is just fucking depressing.

I've been reading about that vampire movie, and I'm really looking forward to it. It sounds intriguingly different.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Saw Rachel Getting Married last night and liked but did not love it. I am a huge Demme fangirl, so it pains me to say that although the performances and world-creating are top-notch, the film meanders too much for its own good. There are endless, and I mean ENDLESS, minutes of musicians playing and people grooving on the music as they play.

Rosemarie DeWitt and Anne Hathaway are simply amazing though, and the film passes the Bechtel test with flying colors.
