Question for anyone who saw this story of Bruce Willis investigating non-blue furry avatar murders -- is there any reason I should watch this instead of rewatching 12 Monkeys for the 10th time?
• Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1
When Naruto made the jump to Shippuden, I was genuinely excited (I'm a sucker for shonen stories, what can I say). But I've read enough of the Shippuden manga to know that author Masashi Kishimoto not only doesn't have a grand plan for his characters, he's making shit up on a week-to-week basis. It's just terrible. I pity anyone who's collecting the anime and watching this nonsense while it's padded out for TV.
• Sherlock Holmes
Couldn't wait to see Sherlock Holmes and Ianto tussle with some dinosaurs? You're in luck, because Asylum's goofy-ass DVD movie come out today. Let me know how it is.
• Rifftrax
There are a bunch of Rifftrax DVDs coming out today, including riffs of old movies like Planet of Dinosaurs, Voodoo Man and the DVD of the recent and awesome Plan 9 from Outer Space live riffing held back in August. But the gems, as always, are the two discs of shorts -- Shorts-Tacular Shorts-Stravaganza and Wide World of Shorts. There's so much entertainment on each of these that's it's criminal that they're only $10 each. Buy them. Do it. I promise you will not regret it.
• Parker Lewis Can't Lose: The Complete Second Season
I tried to watch some of the first season on DVD. I remembered why I liked it as a kid, but couldn't get back into it as a bitter, jaded adult. I don't hold this against Parker Lewis, it's just an observation.
• The Real Ghostbusters Vol. 2
Five discs and 31 episode of real ghostbusting action.
• Alone in the Dark II
If you need to own a sequel to a Uwe Boll movie -- a sequel that Uwe Boll turned down, meaning that IT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR UWE BOLL TO CONSIDER DIRECTING IT -- on Blu-ray, no less, I... no, I can't even imagine such a person existing. I won't.

The only reason to watch surrogates is so your fans can get enjoyment out of you torturing your liver.

Surrogates is alright. I feel that there's a lot that was left out of the movie that was in the graphic novel though. It's a Netflix/Redbox rental, not a buy.
Skinny128 replied to GUMBERCULES!:
I have to agree with you. There were many thing that I like about the graphic novel that were omitted from the movie. But there were also things in the movie that were not in the novel that I did enjoy.
Xenos replied to Skinny128:
Yeah. I got the same feeling. It's one of those odd instances where I liked the book, but also liked the film despite being somewhat different from the book. Plus there was a bonus for me since they relocated the movie to Boston and I got to hear Willis say "Dorchestah".
Necronomic Forecast replied to Xenos:
Surrogates is alright. You do get a sense that they missed an opportunity to tell a much better story but give it a go.
GUMBERCULES! said:
To paraphrase, watch it, then 12 Monkeys again, then Fifth Element to complete the recovery process.
P.S. I like Bruce Willis. Not like you're thinking though.....I want to have sex with him!

Oh sweet, more Real Ghostbusters! I was wondering when the second set was coming out. Absolutely loved this cartoon.
yamieridani replied to Izandra:
It's cheaper to get the big box set at 119. I got it for christmas....looooove it.
Izandra replied to yamieridani:
Yeah, but I didn't like the last season or something. I only wanted season 1-2, I think. I already have part 1, so this is cool.
Darth Davius said:
excuse me but i think Uwe is the man! i think he's very smart but no one gives him a chance, just listen his interviews he's got the truth
EVula replied to Darth Davius:
I'll agree with you that Uwe is *a* man, but *the* man? Hahahano.
Uwe Boll replied to Darth Davius:
DANKE DANKE VIELEN DANK!!! Eez about time somevun unterstoods me.
Denjiro replied to Darth Davius:
You can be smart and still totally suck at doing certain things. In this case, Uwe totally sucks at film making.
Amanda said:
Naruto has turned into utter crap and I can't agree with you more Rob. The series is flying by the seat of its pants and not in a good way.
deadlytoque said:
Just watched Surrogates last night. Not worth it. There is exactly ONE good sci-fi/noir moment in the film, and other than that it's just a waste of perfectly good potential.

I'd watch the Sherlock Holmes movie on Syfy. Or if someone else had the DVD. It features Ianto from Torchwood and Lt. Reed from Enterprise. I want to know what pictures of them Asylum had that made them do this movie.
Max Power said:
The only reason I'd ever consider watching "Alone in the Dark II" would be BECAUSE Uwe Bowel's name isn't listed in the credits. Oh, and only if Tara Reid isn't in the movie in ANY way; no flashbacks, no pictures, no mention of her existence.

I'm so tempted to Netflix the Alone in the Dark 2 movie, does that make me a bad person?
sal said:
Alone in the Dark 2 stars Danny Trejo and PJ Soles...oh and that guy from The Fast and the Furious...The Hell?
Arcane replied to sal:
Machete!
Nate Winchester said:
What do you mean the Rifftrax shorts dvds are releasing today? I bought both of them back before christmas and I know you could have bought them long before that too.
Denjiro said:
Surrogate was an ok movie. However the ending for it ruined the experience for me.
And as pointed out, if you like Real Ghostbusters, get the Complete Collection. Granted the Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters season suck, but the box set including the firehall box is very nice. One of the best collector's edition type DVDs I've bought. Pretty much, only the Blade Runner Ultimate Edition compares.

Oh my GOD, they made a sequel to that shitty Alone in the Dark movie? It wasn't even Alone in the Dark, more like a rip off of every sci-fi alien movie I'd seen in my lifetime. DX
demoncat said:
alone in the dark 2 i make it a point not to help uwe in any way where he can contiue his evil. the rifftrax stuff a must espically on plan 9. real ghost busters finaly nice to see the series contiue since the mega set is reall costly sherlock holmes will get for the curiosity of a film that was made due to the character being in the public domain and trying to cash in on the ride said character is on.
Snoodle said:
The fact that there is a film on the market that Uwe Boll refused to direct chills me to the very core.
Ginsu Shark said:
If anything, Shippuden can only be better than the manga, since the people making the anime *care* about all those secondary characters Kishimoto seems to forget he created...
