New Werewolf movie is supposed to be pretty decent. I tend to trust HighDefDigest reviews

What more need be said? Nothing, I hope. I'm sick of talking about it.
The beloved movie about a scrotum-shaped alien who dresses in women's clothes, makes a young boy deathly ill, and then tries to abduct him finally comes to Blu-ray. Yay.
Not nerdy but too great a show not to mention.
Comes with the original movie and the "director's cut," which features a 20-minute alternate ending. Huh.
The one where Edgar Allen Poe solves crimes instead of, you know, drinking a lot and marrying his underage cousin.
Pertwee.
Universal's direct-to-DVD "reimagining" of The Wolf Man. I can't imagine that it's any good, but someone let me know if it's not completely terrible, please.
I assume if you caught it on Toonami you might want to own it. Assuming you didn't download it illegally years ago.
Order now and it comes with a free rape rack replica!

Got the four-disc set of Prometheus and give props to Scott for being one guy who uses DVD/Blu-Ray to the utmost unlike a lot of studios. Who else will do a "making of" documentary twice as long as the actual movie?
I always saw "making of" features as "filler" content. I don't watch them. I don't care how it was made, or how the effects were done, or how the actors feel about their roles. If you can't entertain me with the main film, then I don't want to know more about it, and if you do entertain me with the main film, then I don't want to spoil the magic by knowing too much about the production.
I would much rather have extended editions and alternate cuts of a movie on BD.

To each their own. I find this stuff fascinating as often the behind-the-scenes stuff is more interesting than the movie itself. "Dark of the Moon" was a crap movie but the two-hour doc on the Blu-Ray is entertaining as hell. Plus, as "Community" nicely put it "everyone knows Hearts of Darkness is better than Apocalypse Now."
@swerj321 @Nix.Nightbird I love a good making of, when done well they can be almost more engrossing then the film itself.
@swerj321 I've always been a fan of his special features. Look forward to digging into Prometheus' set once I get home.
Is that version of E.T. still that edited crap with radios instead of guns, and still no Harrison Ford deleted scene?
@Nix.Nightbird That won't be happening. The new Care Bears is a soulless abomination against nerd and man. Strawberry Shortcake is less repetitive.

Meh. The 2010 Wolf Man (especially in its unrated director's cut) is a perfectly fine film, even if not a perfect film, and I'm affronted that Universal feels a need to throw it under the bus.
Awww yeah, Great Mouse Detective is out!
Oh, and some other stuff too, I guess. Still debating whether or not Prometheus is worth renting off Netflix, given how each time I watch it, I like it a little less.

Is it just me, or is Rob a lot more of a pissy-pee-pants lately?
Also, completely unrelated, does anyone know why the hell Netflix got rid of the Recently Watched feature on the home page?? That was the equivalent to my qeue, as my wife has filled the real one with historical romance BBC flicks.
Ignore that question, according to the extremely chatty help lady, there was a fluke that made it disappear for a few hours.

Hey! Rob! There's nothing wrong with dressing in women's clothes. I do it myself all the time.

It didn't test well with audiences so they recut a new "happy ending"........The original footage found it's way on the 1st pressing of the DVD and was pulled off the shelves, making the original DVD a HUGE collector's item..........now worthless thanks to the Blu-Ray .

Not even a blurb for Great Mouse Detective? Til Sherlock, it was probably the most accurate portrayal of the character (when combined with NiMH/American Tail, per your tastes).
@VindicaSean Sherlock loses to Great Mouse Detective in one respect. GMD had Vincent Price.

@VindicaSean Loved 'Great Mouse Detective', but I wonder how they got that one scene past the radar. You know which one.

@skrag2112 @VindicaSean Oh dude, I know. That scene where Basil and Dawson are tied together in a mouse trap was just FULL of sexual tension.
@general_apathy @skrag2112 @VindicaSean
You joke, but that scene really did fuck me up sexually. Elaborate deathtraps really turn me on. Watching the Adam West Batman series is horribly awkward these days.

@general_apathy @VindicaSean But it sadly did not end with Dawson giving Basil a series of enemas.
