Before viewing Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li, please make sure you have a bottle of your favorite hard liquor on hand, and a rubber nipple attached to the botle. Suckle the bottle at all points while the movie is on. Do this, and you might survive the experience.
• Stargate Atlantis: Complete Fifth Season
Fifth and final, more specifically. Hopefully Stargate Universe fills the Stargate-sized holes in all you Stargate fans' hearts.
• Eureka: Season 3.0
The semi-popular Syfy show that wasn't BSG and isn't over. I think.
• The IT Crowd: Complete Second Season
I caught the first season of this British nerd comedy on Netflix and highly recommend it. You fellow fans, tell the others what they're missing, please.
• Parker Lewis Can't Lose: Complete First Season
The original modern nerd comedy? Maybe. I'm eager to see if this thing is as nearly as good as my memories say it is.
• Samurai Champloo: Complete Collection
Like Cowboy Bebop but with hiphop samurai instead of jazz space-bounty hunters. Not qquite as good as Bebop, but that still means it's pretty damn good.
• Monster X Strikes Back
A recent giant monster movie starring Beat Takeshi. The fact that I've not heard of it before today makes me think it's probably not very good.
• Transmorphers: Fall of Man
A super cheap-o Transformers rip-off direct-to-DVD movie starring Bruce Boxzleitner? Where the hell do I sign up?

Eureka is a fantastic show, and is slated to come back in July.
It got moved to take the hole that Stargate left, thankfully. Add to it that they're likely to have some of the Stargate cast coming back again, and it's a Good Thing.

It's true the IT crowd is hilarious. So far it's the only brit-com (ugh that sounds so lame) that my wife will actually watch with me.

Anyone else realize there was a connection to Stargate SG1 (not Atlantis) and Parker Lewis Can't Lose? The things you learn...

I'm probably gonna get Street Fighter, if anything, just for the copy of the SF digital comic that it comes with. Am I the only one who finds it funny that they have to include a much better dvd to get people to buy their shitty movie.
Also, after years of hoping and praying they finally release Parker Lewis Can't Lose on DVD. Might pick that up some day.
Also also, nice to see a Samurai Champloo set at a sane, reasonable price thats not a bootleg.

Why the bell curve of awesome? Do we really need to start with crap AND end with crap? I'd probably rent Chun-Li, but I'd be crying because there's poop in tbere.
Then Cat Fish Guy would show up somehow.
Eureka's great though.

Wow, a sequel to The X From Outer Space. Who'da thunk it?
TWWK said:
From what I remember, Parker Lewis was moderately good...nothing special. I really only remember that big guy who went on to be a role player on ER.

Wow, they made a Transmorphers sequel? Awesome!
We got the first one for about £2 on DVD last year. We're big fans of the The Asylum company's movies in our house. Super cheap-o is right, and just what we like!

Monster X Strikes Back HAS to be good. Anything starring Beat Takeshi, by law, has to be good.

Parker Lewis is long overdue for DVD. Will most definitely be picking this one up.
Kevin said:
I highly recommed the IT Crowd. It's a favorite amongst many of us here at my work.
Definitely check it out, especially if you work at a company and use a computer daily!

Stargate Atlantis: Complete Fifth Season
Finally!
Fifth and final, more specifically. Hopefully Stargate Universe fills the Stargate-sized holes in all you Stargate fans' hearts.
Not bloody likely...

I'm definitely going to pick up Samurai Champloo, it nice that they re-released the boxed set, the previous one was out of print and about $200!

Please tell me that's Nicolas Cage in the background of Kristen Kruek on that DVD cover^^...That would complete his patheticness as a human-being...This movie will probably suck, but I do like KK and hope she can turn her career into something after $hittyville, err...I mean Smallville...
