? Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete
As an utterly insane FF7 fanboy, I thought Advent Children was awesome and refuse to admit that it had any flaws. That said, I’m actually kind of grateful the new “Complete” version is on Blu-ray only, as this would be the third time I’d bought the damn thing. This includes 30 more minutes of footage and a second anime based on the horrible Denzel short story from the book in the limited edition(even my fanboy-ism can only go so far).
? The Hunger: Complete First Season
There was a Hunger TV series on Showtime?That was a horror anthology type thing? Starring people like Lena Headley and Daniel Craig? Bizarre. How did i not know of this?
? The Jetsons: Season 2, Vol. 1
The Jetsons make me really depressed, as does the idea that many people are buying these to watch and re-watch.
? Highlander: The Complete Animated Series
Did anyone actually get beheaded in the Highlander cartoon? I can’t imagine they did. How did Immortals defeat each other then, with love?
? Retardead
I have no information on Retardead other than the pun in the title and that it comes from the creators of Monsturd. I figured you guys needed to be made aware.
? Road House
The greatest movie ever mae finally comes to Blu-ray. That is all.
