Both seasons of the lovely nerd goddess Felicia Day's MMORPG comedy web series get an Amazon exclusive DVD release today.
• True Blood
HBO's gothic southern vampires show is more or less the anti-Twilight, but mostly an excuse to see Rogue/Claire Danes Ann Paquin naked, so... there you go. (Cut me some slack, at least I knew it was Rogue.)
• Fanboys
It wasn't especially well-reviewed, even among nerds, but I feel like we should all watch it, if only to support Kristen Bell in the Slave Leia bikini.
• Dragonball Z: Majin Buu
The one where Buu turns the Devil into a cookie and eats him. Enough said.
• Outlander
Vikings vs. aliens. I missed this in the theaters, but I'm immensely looking forward to seeing this madness on DVD.
• Terminator 2 Limited Edition Collector's Set
This utterly absurd T2 DVD set costs $120 (on sale), comes in a T-800 skull, and contains both the Extreme Edition DVD and Ultimate Edition DVDs. Does that mean it has the movie twice?
• Batman
The '89 version hits Blu-ray. I actually thought this came out already, but Amazon says it's new, so just in case.
• Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus
Also Vs Debbie Gibson.
• Invasion Iowa
William Shatner's bizarre reality where he dupes a small Iowa town into thinking he's filming a big-budget sci-fi flick there. Sounds really, really awkward.
• Fist of the North Star: The Movie
Looks like some little company grabbed a hold of the old Streamline dub of this hilarious anime flick which stars Ken, a guy who can make people explode by punching them. It's simultaneously awesome and awful, and features a ship stuck inexplicably through a skyscraper.

I don't remember Claire Danes being in True Blood.

Outlander was pretty good for some mindless sci-fi fun. Can't wait to grab that Fist of the North Star movie, when it drops in price a little.

There's a Fist of the north star movie starring gary daniels. Now that's awesome and awful and the same time, but the awesome is not really there.

The link for True Blood takes you to Dragonball Z.
It should be: http://www.amazon.com/True-Blood-Complete-First-Season/dp/B001FB4W0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1242750886&sr=1-1

Batman came out as a boxset only. Kind of like how Matrix did and is now releasing singles.

I caught Outlander in theaters when it was released in the US back in January and it absolutely ruled. I can't wait to pick this one up. Space Jesus + Vikings = pure WIN

I remember seeing 'North Star and kept wondering what the old guy meant when he told the bad guy he lacked "perception". Turns out he was supposed to say "compassion" but it seemed like the dubbing guys couldn't give a crap or thought the movie would be tons better if it sounded like the bad guy needed glasses or something.
Best part of the movie was when Ray goes to save his sister and literally carves a path through a hundred baddies with his light saber-like fingers of doom. I saw this at a comic book convention and it earned him a ton of applause. :)

Tom, I read that as "ray literally carves a path through a hundred babies" and I wondered what sick fucks were at that con.
But anyway, Fanboys was cute in a stupid way. If it had come out in, oh, say, 1998 I would have liked it a bit better. But knowing that the movie they are questing for is going to be a turd blossom kinda undercuts the whole thing, and the acting/comedy didn't need anything undercutting it. If I were the dying guy, I would not have been amused.

Here's my review of Outlander from a few months ago:

Or if you don't feel like reading that: "Outlander rules! Woo! Space dragon! Awesome!"

Just in case you were unaware, you also see Kristen Bell's ass.

I disagree with the notion that nerds should watch Fanboys because they're nerds. It's awful, badly written, not at all funny. The script is extremely lazy.
Half the movie is a really tired "star wars nerds vs star trek nerds" joke that gets stretched out to around 45 minutes.

The only good thing about Fist of the North Star is that it gave Josh Barnett the most awesome entrance music (and catchphrase) in MMA history.

Fanboys had a few funny moments. Especially when Seth Rogan shows up with the huge Jar Jar Tattoo on his back.
-Cuz Jar Jar is going to be the fucking shit man
Plus I enjoyed the line - How do you say, I'm going to die a virgin in Klingon?

True Blood was cool. It took about 5 or 6 episodes to really get rolling, but after that it was awesome.
Plus Anna Paquin and Lizzy Caplan showed their all for their art. God bless them!

Aww fuck it. I'll say it. Buu turned the devil into a cookie in the last season that came out. This season is the one that wraps up the series.

I need to get my hands on a copy of Outlander like...yesterday.
I can't help but think how incredibly sketchy/cheap the cover of the Guild dvd looks :x

I remember her being cuter on Buffy.
Maybe it was the hat

I approve of True Blood. A GOOD vampire love story (which, yes, I'm surprised it exists) where they aren't sparkly and moderately gay. Also, lots and lots of sex.

Oh Yeah! Outlander was a very surprisingly good movie. Totally underastimated! Maybe the best sci-fi in 2008!!
