DVD Day: June 28th, 2011

?? Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy
All three movies, the extended editions, on Blu-ray, for $70. The extras are listed here. Although I imagine you guys have already left to go buy it.
? Sucker Punch
The infamous collaboration between Zack Snyder and the id of a 13 year-old boy. Now that I’m no longer in danger of having to pay money to see this film, I’m marginally excited about finally watching it.
? Season of the Witch
Something something Nic Cage something. Also, something Ron Perlman.
? Ancient Aliens: Season 2
Seriously? Two whole seasons? Christ.
? Warehouse 13: Season 2
I’ve never seen a minute of Warehouse 13, but even I’m sad that its season 2 DVD set is selling less than Ancient fucking Aliens season 2.
? High School of the Dead: Complete Series
Busty anime schoolgirls fight zombies. Most anime-iest anime ever? Quite possibly.
? ReBoot: The Definitive Mainframe Edition
If you missed it back when Shout Factory offered it, here’s the complete series once again. The Seasons 3 and 4 set is also available.
? Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
The first time on Blu-ray, I think, and for only $12.99. Man, I bet it looks good. Hmm.
? The Last Starfighter
On Blu-ray. You know, I’m still kind of disappointed that no aliens ever needed my videogame skills to save their planet, but then it’s hard to imagine a scenario where Pitfall would simulate an alien invasion.
? Challenge of the GoBots: The Original Miniseries
The original, five-part “Battle for Gobotron” saga. FYI, this set doesn’t come out until Friday, so don’t run out to Best Buy desperate to buy it, because it won’t be there and being crushed you couldn’t purchase a GoBots DVD sounds like the most depressing thing ever.
