new DVD releases in Region 1 and Region 2, week of March 9, 2009
Still trying to find the best way to highlight new releases. My most recent previous format was too text-heavy and too repetitious of what I’ve already said. So I’m trying a pared-down version. Lemme know what you think, or if you think this is still too repetitive. I always highlight new DVD releases in the righthand column each week, but do you like this additional reminder in its own new post?

I definitely like the additional reminder. Otherwise a month goes by and then I finally remember to see what's new. :)

This is a useful heads up. Seeing Cracker come out for R1 has prompted me to get the R2 version soon. It's a hefty price tag but then it includes all 1350 minutes.
Robbie Coltrane is brilliant as Fitz and Cracker is one of the classics of the genre.

to be honest I prefered the previous version with the extra text (as in this entry - http://www.flickfilosopher.com/blog/2009/01/012009new_on_dvd_region_1_and_region.html ). It was useful to have all the information in one post, with a sample of your review.
I can't understand people who worry about a post being too repetitious. As long as you have a title & a short description of what the post is before the cut, anyone who isn't interested can just not click on it or use the scroll bar and jsut skim past anything they're not interested in.
of course it's really down to which you prefer, and which is easiest for you.
