It is admittedly a slow DVD Day. However, if you're in the mood for an excellently animated and incredibly violent anime, you could do a lot worse than this infinitely more accurate adaptation of the Hellsing manga.
The one about the guy from The League who puts up a classified ad for someone to time travel with him which is answered by journalist Aubrey Plaza.
Includes the beginning of the Water 7 arc.
On Blu-ray, so that's something.
I've decided I liked Chuck a lot more in theory than in practice.
Yes, it's a direct-to-DVD sequel to the holiday classic. I bring this up only because it is a virulent, hateful atrocity against god and man, and all DVD copies of it should be burned, buried and then the ground sown with salt to ensure nothing ever grows there. We should tell our children this the land contains a great evil, and they should never go near the place lest the Devil take their souls. Don't believe me?
Satan is real, and he greenlit this disaster.

Safety Not Guaranteed is pretty good. Definitely a low key time travel film, with not too many logic issues..if any.
After watching that trailer, I want an official Red Ryder carbine action 200-range-shot model air rifle.
To shoot my eyes out with!
@DJManiak That was the most horrifying part, Daniel Stern giving himself permission to act again. Looks like he ate Joe Pesci here too.
I've read in a couple places that there are some issues with the transfer with the Fleischer Superman bluray, so be aware. I don't know exactly what the deal is, but supposedly it's even got a "bug" in the lower right corner to tell you who did the transfer, because it's fallen into public domain apparently.
It's just what I've read, I don't know how true it is.
I'd love to have the entire Chuck series on Blu Ray, but for $200?!! WTF are they thinking? You can get the seasons individually for $35 a pop and STILL pay less than that!
Yes, it is now. When I clicked earlier it showed $195, which is ludicrous--the MSRP is $179. Still though...
Good Lord! Is Christmas Story 2 supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek comedy like the Brady Bunch Movie? Or is is a serious sequel??? Wow.

My Summer Story (also known as It Runs In The Family) is the sequel to A Christmas Story.........http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110168/
It's not a sequel, exactly, but it's based on the same set of memoirs as A Christmas Story. As well as, apparently, four other made-for-TV movies in which Ralphie is a teenager.

@arivalscientist Not sure if anyone remembers this, but Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss is also a sequel. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098023/

@Lithroe @arivalscientist apparently, there were seven movies, yes, seven movies in this christmas story franchise (which wasn't even the first of the movies either); the only things that warrant seven+ of anything are entries into slasher flics and seasons of ancient aliens!
@miketen @Lithroe @arivalscientist they stopped numbering them at 6; also, did the world really need #5, #7, and everything past first contact. the answer of course is no. as for bond, there have been 7 (if you don't count the movie version of royale) and let's be honest, roger moore isn't much of a bond and i've already forgotten about brosnan so the number of bonds is well below the line.

a christman story, 2, by cthutlu that's something you tell kids about to scare them into doing homework. on the other hand, hm, what will they get their tongue stuck on this time???
Water 7 arc of One Piece is probably the best arc of the entire series. Or at least one of the top ones.
I prefer to get the Collections Boxes over these Season X, Voyage X sets. The collection has twice as many episodes and is cheaper to boot. $20-$25 for a Collection box vs $30-$35 for the Voyage ones.

I can't believe they're already released One Piece Collection 8! I'm way behind! Stupid wedding planning. Only now that I'm married do I see all of the things I've missed during the wedding planning process
Not sure if we tell our kids not to go somewhere or do something they are going to. We should probably just lie to them and say that it is a magically Mommy and Daddy happy place and they will avoid it.

All right! That means the release of Hellsing Ultimate vol 5. is just around the corner...after four years.
Hasty reboots and lengthy post-completion delays...yep, tis truly a gloried time for the medium of film and TV.
Yeah.. where the hell is Vol 5 ?!? I was ready to preorder the special edition with the Major figurine thing.. and then.. nothing.
@TheXenos Geneon went out of business, and Funimation finally picked up the rights for the new episodes. Part of the reason it took so long is they got the original dub cast all back together, rather than just resorting to their own in house actors. I think a similar situation applies to Black Lagoon too.
I don't know how it could possibly be worse than "A Christmas Story" but from the looks of the trailer, they found a way.
