Netflix subscribers will have to wait 28 days to rent Warner Bros.’ latest DVDs and blu-rays, according to the Associated Press.

Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. All we are is dust in the wind: Warner Bros. tells us about the film: In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the … more…
Actually, I’ve been saying forever — for almost a year, at least — that I have no desire to own a blu-ray player. Yes, I’ve seen demos of blu-ray, and yes, it does look super cool, but I’m still not convinced that it’s better enough to make it worth the expense, not just for the … more…
There’s box sets, and then there’s this 70th anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition Gone With the Wind set, which is just insane. In a good way, of course.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… We’re getting real close to this one, at last. Seems like we’ve been waiting forever. Oh yeah: we have. We were supposed to get this last November. Now, of course, the DVD will be the hot giftie for Christmas 2009. Talk about magic: J.K. Rowling and Warner … more…
‘I thought this was gonna be funny,’ says a character at one vital point in *Observe and Report,* ‘but it’s actually kinda sad.’ Bingo!
